  • Melissa Joan Hart
    radar: sketch comedy show. TLC—who wrote the theme song— performed in two of the first three episodes. The pilot aired nearly seven months before their breakout album, CrazySexyCool, was released, giving 12-year-old viewers a chance to hear a new band before they made it big. The first season of the show also featured live performances by fresh faces, including Brandy, Aaliyah, and Usher, who at the point was still going by his full name, Usher Raymond. “If you look at the 10 years [that All That was on air], it’s a who’s who of music,” says Dan Schneider, the show’s creator. Pete & Pete also made a habit of featuring musicians whom you wouldn’t expect to see on any TV show, let alone one marketed to grade schoolers. David Johansen played a police officer; Debbie Harry, a neighbor; Juliana Hatfield, a lunch lady; Kate Pierson (of the B-52s), a blind millionaire; PRIME TIME and Michael Stipe, an ice cream man. Iggy Pop was a series regular, playing the overprotective father of Nona, Michelle Trachtenberg’s character. In the same episode that featured Luscious Jackson, he took to the stage and sang to his melissa daughter, begging her to dance with him. It was a far cry from joan “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” but I’m convinced that moment was influential enough for me to spend the better part of my hart late teens fanatically collecting his albums. The series’ soundtrack was equally important, with Apples in Stereo and Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields, among others, contributing music to the show.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 02.03.2017 SWMRS Spielen Am 5. April in Berlin
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 02.03.2017 SWMRS spielen am 5. April in Berlin SWMRS rocken schon eine ganze Weile die Häuser der Bay Area: Seit 2004 spielte Drummer Joey Armstrong mit seinen Schulfreunden, den Brüdern Cole und Max Becker (Gesang, Gitarre und früher Bass) unter dem Namen Emily’s Army zusammen. Zugegeben, der Schlagzeuger war bei der Gründung gerade einmal neun Jahre alt. Aber wenn man einen Vater wie Green Day- Frontmann Billie Joe Armstrong hat, der einen von Anfang an unterstützt, ist auch in diesem Alter schon einiges möglich (immerhin haben die Jungs als Teenager schon zwei Platten aufgenommen). Die eigentliche Karriere von SWMRS begann aber im Jahr 2014, als Bassist Seb Mueller dazu kam und der Sound sich veränderte, verschärfte, deutlich härter und politischer wurde. In seiner Musik kombiniert das Quartett aus Oakland, Kalifornien, die bissigen Breitseiten von The Clash, das Amphetamin-Bubblegum der Ramones und die schneidenden Texte, treibende Energie und raue Ehrlichkeit von Public Enemy, Frank Ocean, A Tribe Called Quest und Kurt Cobain. SWMRS „definieren den Sound des Hier & Jetzt“, pries der Rolling Stone die Band und ernannte sie zu einem der „Best New Artists 2016“. Das Debütalbum „Drive North“ wurde produziert von Zac Carper von Fidlar und ist durchzogen von Coming-of-Age- Stücken, subversiven Hymnen an Myley Cyrus und einem Gefühl der Freiheit, das den Überforderungen des heutigen Lebens abgerungen wurde. Die Gitarren ziehen eine blutige Spur, die Drums detonieren, die Stimme ist einzigartig, der Sound zeitlos.

  • Rock Music's Crusade of Authenticity
    ROCK MUSIC’S CRUSADE OF AUTHENTICITY by DANIEL BROMFIELD A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Daniel Bromfield for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communications to be taken June 2016 Title: Rock Music's Crusade Of Authenticity Prof. Thomas Wheeler This thesis attempts to define rock music's standards of authenticity and explore their origins. Included are comparison of rock's standards of authenticity to those of other genres and an exploration of how authenticity has been perceived throughout the history of rock music. This study argues that rock's standards of authenticity are unusual among pop music genres in that they entail artists both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. This is in contrast to genres like hip hop, contemporary pop, and R&B, which have their own quite different standards of authenticity. Quotes from rock fans, critics, and musicians are used to provide insight into rock's standards of authenticity and how they developed over time. ii Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my father for introducing me to music. If not for his decision to turn me on to the Beatles one sunny day in June 2006, I would surely be pursuing a far more boring career – and thesis topic. And I would like to thank my mother for giving me a great life and being endlessly supportive.

So true is this that I cannot imagine what my life would be without all the bonds that bind me in loyalty and devotion to Italy and to my Italian friends. 13 June 1959 letter from Thompson to Alfredo Trinchieri Thompson always makes you think there is nothing as beautiful, as rich, or as varied as the sounds of the human voice.

  • Fidlar Self Titled Album Download FIDLAR Download (MP3) Fourteen Slices of Insanely Catchy and Aptly Titled Punk Rock Tunes
    fidlar self titled album download FIDLAR Download (MP3) Fourteen slices of insanely catchy and aptly titled punk rock tunes. The debut album by FIDLAR, recorded and self-produced at the band’s home studio with mixing duties handled by Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith, Beck, Guided By Voices) is fourteen slices of insanely catchy and aptly titled punk rock tunes. Track list: 1. Cheap Beer 2. Stoked And Broke 3. White On White 4. No Waves 5. Whore 6. Max Can't Surf 7. Black Out Stout 8. Wake Bake Skate 9. Gimme Something 10. 5 to 9 11, LDA 12. Paycheck 13. Wait For The Man 14. Cocaine 15. Awkward. * Praise for FIDLAR * "an electrifying, intensely fun album" 8/10 - NME. "With its Ramones-via-The Golden State garage punk, it's brilliantly noisy in all the best places ('White On White', 'Wait For The Man') and yet not afraid to tone down on occasion ('Gimme Something')." 9/10 - DIY. "The spirit of drunk adolescence, cramped kitchens and broken valuable endures on their frightfully fun debut." 4/5 - Q. Fidlar struggles to break free. “Almost Free” is the third studio album from Los Angeles punk band Fidlar; it released on Jan. 24. Band members Zac Carper, Elvis Kuehn, Max Kuehn and Brandon Schwartzel take some big risks to break free from their familiar punk identity. The band released its debut album in 2013, the self-titled “Fidlar.” It featured a raw, simplistic punk aesthetic inspired by bands like The Offspring, Black Lips and Dead Kennedys. Despite criticism that the record was lyrically and musically one dimensional, the band’s potential for writing a great punk song was clear, and people started to take notice.
