La Sopa De Cap De Cabra Els Rolling Stones Reediten El Seu Clàssic De 1973 'Goats Head Soup' Amb Cançons Inèdites Enderrock | Jordi Novell | Actualitzat el 20/09/2020 a les 16:53 La sopa de cap de cabra Els Rolling Stones reediten el seu clàssic de 1973 'Goats Head Soup' amb cançons inèdites Fotografia interior de 'Goats Head Soup' | Foto: John Pasche Divendres passat, coincidint amb l'eliminatòria del concurs Sona9 2020 a Palma, vaig passar per la fantàstica botiga de discos Xocolat a visitar-ne el propietari, l'incombustible Miquel Àngel Sancho. Com cada vegada que hi vaig, vaig aprofitar per comprar un disc. En aquesta ocasió, va ser la reedició en format de doble CD del disc de The Rolling Stones Goats Head Soup (Rolling Stones Records, 1973). Tinc l'estranya mania de comprar novament discos que ja tinc? en aquest cas, la compra venia 'impulsada' per la reedició del disc amb outtakes -allò que es coneix com cançons que finalment van quedar fora de l'edició de l'àlbum-. Sempre atents a buidar la butxaca del fan compulsiu, la reedició https://www.enderrock.cat/noticia/21677/sopa-cap-cabra Pagina 1 de 5 es presenta amb múltiples formats: edició estàndard, deluxe, caixa superdeluxe, caixa superdeluxe en vinil? i totes les permutacions possibles. La meva economia no contemplava invertir més de 20? en una operació nostàlgica d'aquestes característiques, així que em vaig quedar amb l'edició 'deluxe' que inclou el disc original -remesclat pel Giles Martin- i un segon disc amb descartades de la gravació. Déu n'hi do el que van donar aquelles sessions de si, ja que altres cançons no incloses a Goats Head Soup van anar a parar a discos posteriors de la banda com "Through the Lonely Nights" -cara B de "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" el 1974-, "Short and Curlies" -a l'LP It's Only Rock'n'Roll (Rolling Stones, 1974)- o "Tops" i "Waiting on a Friend" -directes a Tattoo You (Rolling Stones, 1981). El principal esquer de l'operació consisteix en tres cançons inèdites: "Scarlet" -amb la guitarra de Jimmy Page, aleshores a Led Zeppelin-, "Criss Cross" i "All the Rage". Portada original de 'Goat's Head Soup'. Foto: David Bailey El disc és una referència menor en el vastíssim catàleg discogràfic dels Rolling Stones i té el dubtós honor de trencar la seqüència de discos possiblement més important de la història del rock, amb https://www.enderrock.cat/noticia/21677/sopa-cap-cabra Pagina 2 de 5 Beggar's Banquet (Decca, 1968), Let It Bleed (Decca, 1969), Sticky Fingers (Rolling Stones Records, 1971) i Exile on Main Street (Rolling Stones Records, 1972). Però és conegut per incloure un dels seus principals hits: "Angie", una cançó que els va catapultar fins al número 1 de totes les llistes, els va trobar un espai durant dècades a la FM -que encara els pertany- i els va donar a conèixer a un públic poc amic dels riffs de Keith Richards. Pascal Comelade, en una entrevista d'Helena Morén publicada al número 157 d'Enderrock (novembre del 2008), ja ho deia: "Els Rolling Stones m'agradaven fins que vaig sentir 'Angie'. Vaig sentir aquesta cançó a la ràdio i vaig dir: ?No! El món està fotut, tot s'ha acabat! Això no és rock'n'roll, és una cançó de varieté, de televisió, no pot ser! S'ha mort el rock'n'roll!". https://www.enderrock.cat/noticia/21677/sopa-cap-cabra Pagina 3 de 5 https://www.enderrock.cat/noticia/21677/sopa-cap-cabra Pagina 4 de 5 Pascal Comelade davant una parada de discos dels Rolling Stones el 2008. Foto: Carles Rodríguez Del disc sempre m'ha agradat "Coming Down Again", una balada escrita i cantada per Keith Richards, amb el piano de Nicky Hopkins, el saxo de Bobby Keys i el baix de Mick Taylor. Una cançó que parla de la relació de la model i actriu Anita Pallenberg amb el seu antic company Brian Jones, a qui va substituir per Richards. I també em quedo amb "Winter", una cançó escrita per Mick Jagger i embolicada -com "Angie"- per uns fantàstics violins arranjats per Nicky Harrison. I, a casa nostra, el disc també serà recordat per haver donat nom a un dels grups més importants del país: Sopa de Cabra. La banda de Gerard Quintana i Josep Thió mai no ha amagat la seva influència stoniana, fins al punt que el seu propi nom prové de la traducció de 'Goats Head Soup' ('sopa de cap de cabra') i d'una de les fotografies interiors que il·lustren l'àlbum, obra de John Pasche. El logotip original del grup també es va inspirar en aquesta fotografia, i va ser obra de l'il·lustrador gironí Pep Duixans, que va compartir l'esquàter durant els primers anys de la banda. Logotip original de Sopa de Cabra. Il·lustració de Pep Duixans L'àlbum és l'inici de l'inexorable declivi creatiu de la banda que, malgrat publicar grans treballs com Some Girls (Rolling Stones Records, 1978) o Tattoo You (Rolling Stones Records, 1980), ha viscut molts anys alimentant -amb major o menor dignitat- el seu llegat. Però aquesta reedició de Goats Head Soup ens dona una nova oportunitat per a revisar-lo. Jo li guardo certa estima, possiblement perquè té tants anys com jo. https://www.enderrock.cat/noticia/21677/sopa-cap-cabra Pagina 5 de 5.

  • Handout 2 - Five Principles of Effective Logo Design
    ! Handout 2 - Five Principles of Effective Logo Design What is a logo? A logo (also called logotype) is a symbol or graphic representation adopted by a business or organization to represent them and their product and/or service. In and of itself, a logo has no meaning, but through association with that which it symbolizes, it becomes identifiable and thus functions as a conveyor of meaning. A logo identifies. A logo conveys meaning. Every effective logo has a strong concept and clear execution. Concept = the idea or message that the designer wants to convey. Execution = how the idea is visually communicated through design. What makes a logo effective? 5 PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE LOGO DESIGN 1. Simple. A good logo is clear and straightforward. Excessive detail and color can obscure the message or idea behind the design. 2. Memorable. A good logo is relatable yet unique. It is easily understood, yet distinctive and appealing in such a way that sticks in one’s memory. 3. Timeless. A good logo is not affected by trends, because trends come and go. An effective logo continues to be relatable, identifiable, and effective. Great design is timeless. 4. Versatile. A good logo is functional. a. It works in any format (e.g. vertical/horizontal) b. It is scalable, but still legible at small sizes. (Logos are normally designed in vector format which allows them to be scaled infinitely without pixelation). 5. Appropriate. A good logo is relevant to the purpose which it is serving. Color, shape, and typeface are important to consider in this regard.

    L'època més prolífica de la història de la música IES Antoni Cumella 2n Bax. B 17-1-11 AGRAÏMENTS Primer de tot voldria agrair al meu tutor del treball, que amb la seva inestimable ajuda deixant- me llibres i aconsellant-me com fer bé les coses, ha fet possible que la realització d’aquest treball sigui la millor possible. A la meva professora de llatí, la Roser, que va col·laborar voluntàriament ha corregir-me tot el treball sense cap obligació alguna i que segurament sinó fos per ella el treball no hagués quedat tan bé. A la meva família que m’ha estat recolzant durant la realització del treball (i que m’ha deixat durant tots aquests anys poder gastar-me els diners en música), i en especial a la meva germana, a la que he tingut que fer fora de la seva habitació moltes vegades per poder posar- me al ordinador a fer el treball. També menció especial per al meu pare i al meu tiet que m’han aconsellat molts dels grups que avui dia són els meus preferits, i segurament sense ells no hagués conegut mai per al meu compte, ni hagués pogut realitzar aquest treball. I per últim els vull agrair aquest treball als meus amics, que gràcies als seus ànims la paraula rendir-se no existia en el meu vocabulari.

  • Entity Structure Within and Throughout: Modeling Mention Dependencies for Document-Level Relation Extraction
    Entity Structure Within and Throughout: Modeling Mention Dependencies for Document-Level Relation Extraction Benfeng Xu1*, Quan Wang2, Yajuan Lyu2, Yong Zhu2, Zhendong Mao1† 1 School of Information Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China 2 Baidu Inc., Beijing, China [email protected], fwangquan05, lvyajuan, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Entities, as the essential elements in relation extraction tasks, exhibit certain structure. In this work, we formulate such structure as distinctive dependencies between mention pairs. We then propose SSAN, which incorporates these structural dependencies within the standard self-attention mechanism and throughout the overall encoding stage. Specifically, we design two alternative transformation modules inside each self-attention building block to produce attentive biases so as to adaptively regularize its attention flow. Our experiments demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed entity structure and the effectiveness of SSAN. It significantly outperforms competitive baselines, achieving new state-of-the-art results on three popular document-level relation extraction datasets. We further provide ablation and visualization to show how the entity structure guides the model for better relation ex- traction. Our code is publicly available.1 2 Figure 1: An example excerpted from DocRED. Different mention dependencies are distinguished by colored edges, with the target relations listed in below. 1 Introduction Relation extraction aims at discovering relational facts from raw texts as structured knowledge.
