The comic's portrayal of Baltimore as the evil mastermind of the administration repre­ sented the underlying stu­ dent need to put a single face behind the looming concerns over shrinking freedoms and increasing costs. It is follows naturally that Balitmore's retire­ ment has elicited cries of joy from the student body. Still, few students could name a reason to dislik:.e him, save the fact that he holds very large bags of money or maybe that he looks like the bad guy from X-Men 2.

  • Hip-Hop It All Sounds the Same, That Anybody Can Do It, That It’S an Expression of Brute Masculinity
    22 CHICAGO READER | AUGUST 26, 2005 | SECTION THREE mondaThe Treatment y 19 continued from page 18 demolished the worst stereotypes about noise music—that Rock, Pop, Etc. | Hip-Hop it all sounds the same, that anybody can do it, that it’s an expression of brute masculinity. For Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tajford, noise isn’t a way to voice nihilism but a kind of celebration, a place where music making runs amok but not afoul of pleasure and purpose. On the cover of their forthcoming Voluptuous Vultures (PsychForm), they’re sitting serenely amid pastel ceramic statuary, but there’s nothing soft or calming about the sounds on the album. Like the best Japanese noise acts, the duo ride waves of crushing, explosive sound like a thrill-seeking surfer, but they also draw on more traditional musical training to increase the density, rigor, and complexity of their pieces. Ratkje is one of the most astonishing singers on the Festivals planet, sounding at times like Diamanda Galas or Shelley Hirsch, and Tajford is a superb French horn player. More often than not those elements are masterfully manipulated, either through Ratkje’s multitracking or Tajford’s chopped-up samples. On their 2003 debut album, Syklubb Fra Haelvete (reissued in the U.S. last Estrojam year by Important Records), and All Men Are Pigs (Gameboy), a more recent collaboration with fellow Norwegian noisemonger Lasse Marhaug, they emphasize In addition to music at several venues and workshops on exhibits, and a burlesque show.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Verse, so fashioned and colored, is as much the genuine product and growth of a Land, as its trees or flowers. It partakes of the raciness of the soil, the purity of the atmosphere, the brilliancy of its skies, its mountain pictures, and its broad sweeps of level and undulating territory. The Scenery infuses itself into the Song ; and the feelings and fan- cies are modulated by the circumstances amid which they had their birth.

Initially pegged as the voice of a generation when “Loser” turned into a smash crossover success, Beck wound up crystallizing much of the postmodern ruckus inherent in the ’90s alternative explosion, but in unexpected ways. Based in the underground anti-folk and noise-rock worlds, Beck encompassed all manner of modern music, drawing in hip-hop, blues, trash rock, pop, soul, lounge music — pretty much any found sound or vinyl dug up from a dusty crate — blurring boundaries and encapsulating how ’90s hipsters looked toward the future by foraging through the past. In another time, Beck may have stayed in the province of the underground, but he surfaced just as alternative rock turned mainstream, with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold launching “Loser,” a hit that crossed over with the velocity of a novelty, a notion Beck quickly punctured with a succession of indie LPs delivered in the wake of Mellow Gold, including the lo-fi folk of One Foot in the Grave, delivered on the K imprint. But the album that truly cemented Beck’s place in the pantheon was 1996’s Odelay, a co-production with the Dust Brothers that touched upon all of his obsessions, providing a cultural keystone for the decade while telegraphing all his future moves, from the soul prankster of Midnite Vultures to the melancholy troubadour of Sea Change.
