  • The Strokes Share New Episode of Pirate Radio Series Featuring Colin Jost and Gordon Raphael
    THE STROKES SHARE NEW EPISODE OF PIRATE RADIO SERIES FEATURING COLIN JOST AND GORDON RAPHAEL “BAD DECISIONS” CLIMBING TOP 10 AT ALT RADIO FIRST ALBUM IN SEVEN YEARS THE NEW ABNORMAL OUT NOW VIA CULT/RCA RECORDS TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM July 23, 2020—Today, The Strokes share a new installment of their ongoing pirate radio series, “Five Guys Talking About Things They Know Nothing About”—watch it HERE. The new episode is the third installment of the show, and the first in a series in which the band will speak with the producers of their albums. The episode airing today features The Strokes in conversation with Gordon Raphael—who produced their debut EP The Modern Age, their first two LPs Is This It and Room On Fire and contributed to their third LP First Impressions Of Earth—as well as their longtime friend, SNL’s Colin Jost. The band’s new album The New Abnormal, their first in seven years, was released in April to widespread critical acclaim. The album’s lead single, “Bad Decisions,” is currently Top 10 at Alternative radio and still climbing, marking the band’s first Alternative Top 10 since 2006 and setting the record for the most time between Alternative Top 10 entries. Additionally, “Bad Decisions,” went #1 on AAA in April. Upon release, The New Abnormal debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and reached #8 on the Billboard 200, #1 Current Rock Album, #1 Top Current Album, #1 Current Alternative Album and #1 Vinyl Album.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.

Factual and Procedural Background Now before the Court are the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment on Plaintiffs’ federal and state-law challenges to the electioneering and property use policies adopted by Starr County, Texas. (Dkt. Nos. 92, 93). Two of the current Plaintiffs, politically active County residents Hilda Gonzalez Garza and Rosbell Barrera, filed suit in this Court on February 21, 2018, challenging the County’s newly enacted “Policy for Prohibition of Electioneering in or on Property Owned or under the Care, Custody and Control of the County” as an unlawful restriction on their right to engage in electioneering, a form of political speech protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Election Code, and seeking corresponding declaratory and injunctive relief. (Dkt. No. 1; see Dkt. No. 4, Exh. A). Plaintiffs applied for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) to enjoin implementation and enforcement of this policy, but the Court found that a subsequently adopted “Building and Property Use Policy” (“Use Policy”) controlled, and construed Plaintiffs’ application as a request 1 / 56 Case 7:18-cv-00046 Document 110 Filed on 10/07/19 in TXSD Page 2 of 56 for a TRO against the Use Policy.

  • Voter Intimidation and Discrimination in the 2016 Election: Rhetoric and Reality Adam Gitlin Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice
    Voter Intimidation and Discrimination in the 2016 Election: Rhetoric and Reality Adam Gitlin Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law Prepared for presentation at the IDC Conference on the US Presidential Election of 2016, January 2017. The author’s views are his own. Abstract Beginning in August of 2016, President-elect of the United States Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that the election would be “rigged” if he lost, and called for volunteers and law enforcement to come to the polls to “watch” the election. Using private citizens and law enforcement in such settings historically has led to illegal discrimination and intimidation. But Mr. Trump’s comments, coupled with aggressive lawsuits by Democratic Party lawyers to combat laws restricting voting rights, politicized the act of voting in a way rarely seen in America. What do the rhetoric and resulting behavior teach us about how we ought to treat voters? This paper offers a working definition of voter intimidation, reviews briefly the history of voter intimidation and discrimination at the polls in the United States, examines the immediate pre- and post-election results of certain 2016 efforts to politicize voting in America, and concludes with suggestions on how best to reduce the intimidation that can result from the politicization of the act of voting. Introduction Voter intimidation took center stage in the United States’ 2016 presidential election. As a candidate, Donald Trump warned of voter fraud, and encouraged his supporters to go to precincts other than their own to “watch” voters in “other areas,” a phrase many interpreted as dog-whistle politics (Anderson 2016).
