  • “Raising Hell”—Run-DMC (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Bill Adler (Guest Post)*
    “Raising Hell”—Run-DMC (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Bill Adler (guest post)* Album cover Label Run-DMC Released in May of 1986, “Raising Hell” is to Run-DMC what “Sgt. Pepper’s” is to the Beatles--the pinnacle of their recorded achievements. The trio--Run, DMC, and Jam Master Jay--had entered the album arena just two years earlier with an eponymous effort that was likewise earth-shakingly Beatlesque. Just as “Meet the Beatles” had introduced a new group, a new sound, a new language, a new look, and a new attitude all at once, so “Run-DMC” divided the history of hip-hop into Before-Run-DMC and After-Run-DMC. Of course, the only pressure on Run-DMC at the very beginning was self-imposed. They were the young guns then, nothing to lose and the world to gain. By the time of “Raising Hell,” they were monarchs, having anointed themselves the Kings of Rock in the title of their second album. And no one was more keenly aware of the challenge facing them in ’86 than the guys themselves. Just a year earlier, LL Cool J, another rapper from Queens, younger than his role models, had released his debut album to great acclaim. Run couldn’t help but notice. “All I saw on TV and all I heard on the radio was LL Cool J,” he recalls, “Oh my god! It was like I was Richard Pryor and he was Eddie Murphy!” Happily, the crew was girded for battle. Run-DMC’s first two albums had succeeded as albums, not just a collection of singles--a plan put into effect by Larry Smith, who produced those recordings with Russell Simmons, the group’s manager.

  • Interview with DARRYL Mcdaniels Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on June 4, 2018
    The following interview with DARRYL McDANIELS was conducted by the Library of Congress on June 4, 2018 Darryl McDaniels Library of Congress: By the time, “Raising Hell” was released, Run-DMC had already put out two well-received albums. When you began work on this album (“Raising Hell”), did you approach it in a different way than you had your previous collections? Darryl McDaniels: Yes, when we started recording “Raising Hell” we had to make the most fun powerful versatile records ever! There was a lot of competition breathing down our necks! We had been around a short while but we opened the flood gates for superb talent that followed us, helping elevate and evolve the culture. We couldn’t have any album filler songs! LOC: How did you first come to work with Rick Rubin and what did Mr. Rubin bring to the mix of your already-existing dynamic? DM: Rick was the producer and DJ for the punk rock group the Beastie Boys and we all recorded at Chung King House of Metal. So we met there. They all were hip-hop heads and Rick began discussion with Russell to start a hip-hop label. Rick began to sit in on our sessions and give us direction on things we previously didn’t think of doing. So eventually we let him help us with production. He showed us how to record as a band i.e. live instruments, no samples, etc. LOC: At this time, who (if anyone) were your major influences, musically and lyrically? DM: At that time for me, personally, I was influenced by Public Enemy and The Legendary Cold Crush Brothers on the hip hop side, and by the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Harry Chapin and Jim Croce on the rock side.

  • Introducing Elvis Presley
    Chapter 1 Introducing Elvis Presley In This Chapter ▶ Outlining Elvis’s place in American history ▶ Summarizing Elvis’s life ▶ Tracking Elvis’s popularity from beginning to end n the one hand, Elvis Presley needs no introduction, because his name Oand face are recognized around the world as the ultimate celebrity. Imitators re-create his act; late-night comedians joke about him; cable chan- nels rerun his movies; and merchandisers exploit his image on everything from T-shirts to lamps. On the other hand, the reasons for his fame have become lost in the trappings of celebrity, especially for younger generations born after his death on August 16, 1977. For the original fans, who have remained loyal for over 50 years, Elvis earned his reputation as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll; for others, discovering why he deserved his fame and a place in American cultural history may be a revelation. In this chapter, I introduce you to Elvis Presley through the high points of his life and career, including his post-death popularity. This chapter sets up an extensive exploration of Elvis Presley — the cultural icon — that details the events of his life, explains the significance of his music, and contemplates his meaning to American pop culture. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Identifying a Cultural Icon Almost everyone knows that Elvis Presley was a famous singer, but many people don’t fully understand what he contributed to popular music to earn his widespread fame. Elvis combined different types of music to form a style called rockabilly, which became one of the key sounds in rock ’n’ roll.

  • NME Headliners Glasvegas | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives NME Headliners Glasvegas Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists NME Headliners Glasvegas By Tom Killingbeck, Music Editor (2009/10) Tuesday 10 March 2009 From Scotland to Japan: Tom Killingbeck interviews NME Headliners Glasvegas. Glasvegas are not your typical NME hype band. For starters, they are not dressed in day-glo fluorescence, rejecting the Nathan Barley look for Johnny Cash style black. They also have very little in common with the other bands on the bill of this year’s NME tour – their shoegazing anthems clashing with the music of Florence and the Machine (Kate Bush crossed with Glam Rock) and Friendly Fires (Ass-wiggling white boy electro). When most people think of the band the words ‘depressing’, ‘morbid’ and ‘monochrome’ come to mind, but, walking aboard a tourbus strewn with the remains of last night’s party and Guitar Hero axes, it seems like they’re more fun than you’d expect. Bassist Paul Donoghue does not seem surprised that his band, who just two years ago were unheard of, thrashing about with a drum machine in Glasgow’s East End, have been chosen to headline this sell-out tour. “Pretty much since we did the first seven inch we knew we had a chance of doing really well”, he admits. The band’s MySpace demos were a huge success, and having caught the attention of Creation Records boss Alan McGee, early versions of ‘Daddy’s Gone’ and ‘It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry’, took the indie scene by storm.
