  • Kesha's 'High Road' Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness”
    Kesha’s ‘High Road’ Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness” New Album OUT TODAY via Kemosabe/RCA Records LISTEN HERE Today, Kesha drops her new album ‘High Road’ (Kemosabe/RCA Records), reclaiming her throne as “the badass of pop” (Billboard). A delicious mix of debaucherous odes to living life to the fullest, reflections on self-love, and folk-tinged moments embracing all that makes us human, ‘High Road’ is the GRAMMY-nominated popstar’s most eclectic collection to date. Whether discussing topics of self-identity, free love, best friendship, heartbreak or childhood longing, ‘High Road’ expertly encompasses Kesha’s knack for heartfelt vulnerability, her wild child energy, and oddball sense of humor all with major modern pop integrity. It’s an album about not taking life too seriously, but it is done seriously well. For 'High Road', Kesha enlisted a diverse roster of collaborators / songwriters / producers including John Hill, Dan Reynolds, Stuart Crichton, Jeff Bhasker, Drew Pearson, Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, Nate Ruess, Justin Tranter, Stint, Wrabel, and Pebe Sebert among others to help her make this celebratory chapter of her career a reality. Today’s album release follows last night’s incredible performance of “Resentment” on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the recent announcement of her forthcoming North American spring tour. ‘High Road’ has already delighted critics, with Stereogum saying it “strikes a believable balance between vulnerability and the bluster she made her name on,” The Independent praising it as “a mature and defiant reclamation of lightness,” and AllMusic calling it “a heady good time”. Album standout tracks like “Tonight” (“100 percent your new night-out anthem” – MTV), “Father Daughter Dance” (“a crushing vocal showcase that no one could have expected” – American Songwriter), “Raising Hell” (feat.

  • Reflections on the Delmar Hotel and the Demise of the Catskills
    Reflections on the Delmar Hotel and the Demise of the Catskills pp. 198-213 in Philip Brown, edited, In the Catskills: A Century of the Jewish Experience in “The Mountains.” New York: Columbia University Press, 2002. Jerry A. Jacobs 727 S. Latches Lane Merion, PA 19066 610-664-7132 [email protected] For many years I rarely discussed my parents’ hotel, but lately I find myself mentioning it more often. As I settle into my forties and watch my two little girls grow up, I wonder how to tell them what it meant to me to grow up in the Catskills. When I had the chance to read Phil Brown’s book, Catskill Culture, I admired his ability to come to terms with this period in his life. I thought that perhaps it was time to take a stab at it myself. And to try to understand how the Catskills vanished so quickly and so completely that an archive had to be established to ensure that some traces survive. In our family there was often talk about writing a book about the hotel. But how to capture the zaniness, the colorful characters, the exhausting routine and the special camaraderie that made up the Delmar Hotel? We would try organizing it around a day-in-the-life. My mom rose at six to begin to prepare for breakfast, first for the staff, then for the guests. My dad bantered with a guest who was up at dawn waiting to complain about something askew. The day ended at 11 PM as the nightly performance in the casino drew to a close and the last trays in the tea room, where guests would repair after the show, were put away.

  • The Waterboys L’Électron Libre Du Rock Irlandais
    The Waterboys L’électron libre du rock irlandais Good Luck, Seeker Cooking Vinyl Contact scène Naïade Productions www.naiadeproductions.com 1 [email protected] / +33 (0)2 99 85 44 04 / +33 (0)6 23 11 39 11 Biographie The Waterboys est un groupe de musique créé en 1983 par Mike Scott. Les membres du groupe, passés et présents, sont essentiellement écossais et irlandais. Le groupe voyagea et élut domicile dans différentes villes telles que Londres, Dublin, An Spidéal, New York et Findhorn. The Waterboys a abordé différents styles musicaux durant son existence, mais la majeure partie de sa musique peut être décrite comme un mélange de musique folk celtique et de rock ‘n’ roll, ou folk rock. Après dix années d’enregistrements et de tournées, la formation musicale se sépara au début des années 90 et Mike Scott poursuivit une carrière solo. Reformé en 2000, The Waterboys reprit son rythme d’enregistremens d’albums et de tournées. Le leader du groupe souligna lui-même une continuité entre le groupe The Waterboys et son travail personnel, affirmant que « pour moi, il n’y a pas de différence entre Mike Scott et The Waterboys; ils signifient tous deux la même chose. Ils sont à la fois moi-même et ceux qui m’accompagnent durant mes tournées musicales ». Leur quinzième album Where The Action Is est sorti le 24 mai 2019 et a annoncé le retour des Waterboys sur scène. A l’été suivant, le groupe a parcouru de nombreuses scènes françaises pour le plus grand plaisir du public ! « Pour moi, il n’y a pas de différence entre Mike Scott et The Waterboys; ils signifient tous deux la même chose.

  • SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
    SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.

John Pennington Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.snc.edu/northwind Recommended Citation Pennington, John (2006) "George MacDonald as Rock Star?," North Wind: A Journal of George MacDonald Studies: Vol. 25 , Article 10.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. N&Q George MacDonald as Rock Star? John Pennington e all remember the chapter “Nanny’s Dream” from At the Back of Wthe North Wind: Nanny finds herself inside the moon where she looks at “such lots of stars, all so big, and shining as hard as ever they could!” Diamond tells her that “the little girl-angels had been polishing them,” which prompts Nanny to state: “What nonsense you do talk!” Maybe I am talking a bit of nonsense equating MacDonald to a rock star. But there is one rock star who aligns himself with MacDonald, finding inspiration for his music in the Victorian writer. So maybe MacDonald is a rock star after all! Mike Scott, the leader of the Scottish band The Waterboys, has been channeling MacDonald’s spirit into his music for years. In its 2003 album Universal Hall, The Waterboys sing in this library I could lose myself transports, gateways on every shelf dark words, bright words or ice and fire as if an angel did descend and use the writer as a pen for here are “avalon of the heart” “flight into freedom” macdonald’s “lilith” and “fantastes” [sic] lewis’s “perelandra” The refrain of the song is the following: “ i sacrifice my power on the altar of your love / that it may be born again on another world.” The song also uses the images of the stairs and tower, which is most certainly a homage to MacDonald.

  • Jacques' Proposal for Huntly
    Science of Place A brief methodology: Consulting the community of Huntly Keeping to the objective of searching for a valid brand identity for Huntly, I would like to follow a methodology that remains true to my normal mode of work and try to steer away from the clichés often found in the marketing industry. I have drawn up some flexible guidelines: An open-minded approach. Going to a strange place gives one the advantage of experiencing it with fresh eyes. To strengthen this element, I am going to consciously ignore any preconceived expectations of Huntly. I suggest spending at least the first week merely observing town life and settling in without forcing any agendas. Close consultation with the project partners. Only after allowing the first week of “clean” observation, to sit down and get a clear vision of what it is that the ATP and Deveron Arts want to achieve with this project. Is the idea to position Huntly as a fashionable getaway destination, a rural family town, a business hub, a cosmopolitan community, a “green” town or a boomtown, or a combination of all the above (or none of the above?). What would be viable and realistic and what are possible concerns or expected pitfalls. Embracing ordinary, day-to-day life. To get an insight in the dynamics of the Huntly “family scene” and the various age groups thereof by engaging the community with my wife and children. Asking questions without questionnaires. Rather focusing on informal conversation while socialising. (What do people really think of their town?) Creating means for community participation.
