  • Andrew W.K. Talks New DVD, LP, and Talks, and Talks
    Andrew W.K. Talks New DVD, LP, and Talks, and Talks Amy Phillips reports: What does Andrew W.K. enjoy more than partying hard? TALKING HARD. When Pitchfork got the jolly headbanger on the phone recently, all I intended to discuss was his new DVD, Who Knows?: Live in Concert 2000-2004, due in stores today, February 7, and the state of his upcoming album. But Andrew had a lot more on his mind. It started with a few simple questions about his forthcoming third LP. "We'll have it complete by the end of March, and we're going to release the album first in Japan, and the rest of the world after that," W.K. said. "I'm taking about 20 songs in, and we'll see what comes out. I would hope that all 20 songs are going to be heard at some point or another." Right now, two of those 20 songs, "Kicks and Bricks" and "You Will Remember Tonight", can be heard on the Andrew W.K. website. The former cut sounds a bit hip- hop-influenced to me, so I asked Andrew about it. "I think that it depends on what kind of context you approach certain types of rhythms with in mind," he said. "I was really looking to syncopate more with that song and allow the beat to have more holes in it. In rap, in funk, in soul, the performers and the songwriters will leave room for movement, and I was trying to leave more room in that song to move around to the beat." OK, fair enough.

Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York.

  • The Michael Allman Band Bio
    THE MICHAEL ALLMAN BAND BIO MICHAEL ALLMAN - Michael Allman is the 1st born son of Legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member of the Allman Brothers, Greg Allman. Michael’s bluesy soulful voice and look is very reminiscent of his father in his prime! Michael has shared the stage with many well-known artists through the years and continues to put smiles on the faces of his fans every time he gets on stage and starts belting out the sounds. “Hard Labor Creek” - If Michael’s evocative singing was the only attraction on Michael Allman’s Hard Labor Creek, it would still be worth hearing, but there is a lot more going on than that. Some of the most gifted musicians in Georgia, from young slide guitar phenom Tony Tyler to Motown alumnus and keyboard legend Ike Stubblefield, contribute to the overall sound of this remarkable record. Tyler’s slide and keyboard work are an essential part of the sound of Hard Labor Creek, adding just the right touch without overpowering the song. Stubblefield kicks serious butt here, showing why he is a first-call session player, and his production contribution is one reason this CD sounds so darn good. Soulful backing vocals by Atlanta local favorite Diane Durrett and percussion from Derek Trucks Band drummer Yonrico Scott flesh out the songs. The one and only Col. Bruce Hampton also makes a memorable cameo appearance. While Michael Allman’s Hard Labor Creek stands on its own merits, he isn’t ashamed of his heritage, and there are several references to his famous father.

On the Road Again: Andrew W.K. and the Calder Quartet in Boston By Annie Zaleski published: Wed., Sep. 30 2009 @ 12:47PM (A to Z is on vacation this week. She managed to check out Andrew W.K. last night. Here's what happened...) Throughout his concert with the Calder Quartet, Andrew W.K. kept stressing that this tour was an "experiment." That his merging of classical piano, a string quartet and party-hearty anthems was something untested and unproved. But while a work-in-progress feel did permeate the first night of his tour at a movie-theater in Boston, the beauty of the music performed trumped any bumps. W.K. said as much himself near the end of the show, talking about what powerful emotions music invokes in him. In recent years, this motivational-speaker stance has made him a self-help guru of sorts: Because of a bad contract - which bans him from releasing music under the Andrew W.K. name on CD in the States - he's been unable to properly release follow-ups to the LPs I Get Wet and The Wolf. (He's released several albums in Asia, however, along with some vinyl and a punk 7" stateside.) And so he's been forced to become a positive figure spreading the gospel of fun -- and musically adventurous. His collaboration with the Calder Quartet - a NYC string quartet known for its genre- defying work - sprang from his recent album of piano music, 55 Cadillac.

Last Night: Andrew W.K. and Calder Quartet at Swedish American Hall By Ian S. Port published: Thu., Oct. 8 2009 @ 9:42AM Andrew W.K. and Calder Quartet Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009 Swedish American Hall Better than: Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony. Hours before he took the stage, Andrew W.K. was amping up his fans. His Twitter feed was bursting with typical AWK excitement: "PARTY MINDSET OF THE DAY: Remember that even when life feels hard or scary, I am here cheering you on, and you will KEEP GOING!" "Walking around San Francisco & thinking about moving here. Of course I would keep my house in NYC too! CONCERT TONIGHT!" This is a man who, in his own lyrics, "gets wet without even trying." And last night, he got wet about classical music like no other musician I've seen. (I doubt many rockers have accompanied a string quartet by whistling into the microphone while holding the entire mic stand horizontally, like a flute.) W.K. has found his classical muse, after spending time recording an album of "spontaneous solo piano improvisations" earlier this year.

    «Keepin' it real» Om autentisitetsbegrepets betydning i kanonisering av populærmusikk Av Sverre Ø. Eikill Masteroppgave i medievitenskap Institutt for informasjons- og medievitenskap Universitetet i Bergen Våren 2012 Forord Jeg er veldig glad i musikk, og hadde dermed en slags forvrengt visjon om at det ville gå på skinner å skrive en lengre tekst om forutsetningene for resepsjonen av den. Fullt så knirkefritt gikk det nok ikke, og det har vært en god del frustrasjon og misnøye før jeg nå har blitt ferdig med denne teksten. Jeg skulle gjerne ha visst på forhånd at det er ikke hver dag man får gjort noe, og det er helt ok. Arbeidet har foregått ujevnt og tidvis veldig hektisk, men når jeg nå ser på resultatet er jeg stolt over å ha gjennomført det. Man blir faktisk ferdig, selv om det ofte ikke virker sånn i det hele tatt. Jeg vil gjerne takke mamma og pappa for all støtte og motivasjon, alle mine venner i både Bergen og Stavanger som har orket å holde ut med sutringa mi i halvannet år uten å bryte kontakten, og alle jeg har tatt kaffepauser med de siste semestrene. Spesiell takk til Kenneth og Emil, som har vært i samme masterbåt som meg og delt motivasjon, frustrasjon og den gode samtale om våre respektive masterprosjekter, over utallige kaffekopper på Blom. Sist, men ikke minst, går en stor takk til min veileder Karl Atle Knapskog, for særdeles god veiledning og forslag til prosjektet, en stor mengde motiverende samtaler og overmenneskelig tålmodighet og forståelse. i Innhold Forord i 1.0 Introduksjon 1 2.0 Kanon og kanonisering 5 2.1
