Indie Mixtape HQ, Sharing Songs We Like in the Hopes That It Will Enrich Your Lives in Some Small Way :: View email as a web page :: Like all of you, we’ve been witnesses to a terrible — but hopefully transformational – moment in our nation’s history. It is our belief that music is needed now more than ever — as a balm, as a source of spiritual and emotional renewal, and as a reminder that there is still beauty in this world that is worth preserving and protecting. In that spirit, we will continue to do what we usually do here at Indie Mixtape HQ, sharing songs we like in the hopes that it will enrich your lives in some small way. But music can only do so much, so please: Reach out to those in need in your communities, especially your Black and Brown neighbors who are under siege at the moment. The power of music is that it connects us to one another, so now is the time to follow through on those very human bonds by giving money, food, and other essential supplies to those in need. No matter how our politicians might fail us, we will always have each other. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS JAPANDROIDS Our favorite leather-jacketed two-dude rock band from Canada never fails to lift our spirits in times of hardship.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • A Parent's Guide to Instagram
    A PARENT’S GUIDE TO INSTAGRAM AUSTRALIAN EDITION 2019 In partnership with 1 A Parent’s Guide to Instagram A LETTER FROM REACHOUT An introduction to supporting your teen on Instagram ReachOut is Australia’s leading mental health and wellbeing organisation for young people and their parents. We know from research that parents and carers are worried about their children using social media. We understand that it can feel overwhelming to keep on top of what your child is accessing, and to manage how much time they’re spending online. At the same time, being socially connected is very important for your child’s development, and social media is part of socialising and connecting with others today. Teenagers regularly use social media to bond with friends, keep up with their peers, meet new people, and learn about world events and current affairs outside of their immediate life. Like any form of social engagement, social media comes with risks. Some of the most common of these include spending too much time online and being disconnected from the real world, being affected by online bullying, sharing intimate photos, and having reduced self-esteem from judging oneself or one’s own life negatively by comparison with others’ ‘ideal’ lives as shown online on sites such as Instagram. 22 The good news is, there are things you and your child can do to reduce these risks and enjoy participating in the online world. This guide will help you to understand Instagram and provide practical tips on how to start a conversation with your young person about managing their privacy, comments and time online.

  • Yasmin Williams Nervous Dater
    :: View email as a web page :: About three years ago, I made a wish for more artists to livestream their concerts. In a sense this wish has come true, though strictly in a cursed, Monkey’s Paw kind of way. I was hoping for a future in which more bands made it possible for fans to engage with their live performances from the comfort of home, and to enhance this engagement by approaching their setlists in more creative and innovative ways. Certainly, I did not anticipate that a worldwide pandemic would completely level the concert industry and make livestreaming, for now, the only game in town. Nevertheless, this is where we currently nd ourselves. And, in spite of what some in the industry might want to believe, I don’t think this is a temporary stopgap. Even if concerts come back in some form later on this year — hardly an automatic proposition given the slow rollout of Covid vaccines — I suspect that livestreaming will continue to play a signicant role in how fans experience “live” music. I wrote about how this experience can be improved here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... Get ready for Valentine's Day with this new YouTube playlist. Have a song suggestion? Let us know on Twitter. We reected on albums turning 10 this year over on TikTok.

  • The Chosen Episode 1 – “I Have Called You by Name”
    The Chosen Episode 1 – “I Have Called You By Name” SCRIPTURE Isaiah 43: 1-4 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. When you pass through waters, I will be with you; through rivers, you shall not be swept away. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, nor will flames consume you. For I, the LORD, am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as ransom for you, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you and nations in exchange for your life. Luke 8:1-3 Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources. John 20:1-18 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.

Something’s happened to me over the last five years. I listen to, and trust, pop music far less than I did in my twenties, and the pop that I still listen to is radically different than what I grew up with. My ears cock, like a cat’s, more toward jazz, avant-garde, and instrumental hip-hop now than to the rock, rap, R&B, and beat-driven fare that sustained me for twenty years. To be fair, jazz was always there, ever since I bought a $20 CD of Miles Davis’s Capitol/Blue Note years in a cold January morning in 1994. I bought it from Sound Warehouse, a chain that’s long gone, because the cover was cool and Davis—with his close-cropped hair and natty suit—looked cooler than I could ever hope for. It was a sophistication to aspire toward, and to try and impress girls with.
