The Smart Studios Story Screens at the Greenwich Odeum on November 11 The Smart Studios Story Screens at The Greenwich Odeum on November 11 When you delve into music history, you’ll find that a majority of the most important and influential music ever created was only recorded at a few places. Places like Sun Studio in Memphis, Electrical Audio in Chicago, Electric Lady Studios in New York City and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, are sacred ground. It’s where landmark albums came to be, legendary musicians stepped foot and brilliance shined. Another place was Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, owned by acclaimed producers Butch Vig and Steve Marker who are also part of the alternative rock act Garbage. At the Greenwich Odeum in East Greenwich on Friday, November 11, there will be a screening of the documentary on the recording studio titled The Smart Studios Story. Parts of Nirvana’s masterpiece Nevermind, The Smashing Pumpkins’ debut Gish, The Con by Teagan and Sara, L7’s Bricks Are Heavy and a plethora of spectacular albums were recorded and produced at Smart Studios. It was a place for independent and underground rock acts to get recordings made from the studio’s infancy in the ‘80s right up to its closing in 2010. The documentary, directed by Wendy Schneider, examines the studio’s existence and origin. The film also features interviews with Vig, Marker, Laura Jane Grace from Against Me!, Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson, Jimmy Chamberlin and Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins and many others. It promises to provide an in-depth look at an historic space located within a building mistaken for being a crack house in the place known as Mad City. After the screening there will be a Q&A with Schneider and it’ll be the only time and place in Rhode Island The Smart Studios Story will be shown. The Odeum is a wonderful venue to see any kind of performance either live on stage or on the big screen. At the time of this writing, it’s not sold out yet,, so grab a ticket and enjoy a bit of music history on Friday.

  • Anglophone Music As Poetry
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Croatian Digital Thesis Repository University of Rijeka Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka Department of English Matea Lacmanović: Anglophone Music as Poetry Mentor: Lovorka Gruić Grmuša, PhD Rijeka, July 2015 1 Abstract Literature as a whole is usually divided into poetry, prose and drama (Solar 2006: 154) with fairly clear boundaries between them. When it comes to their subdivision and definition of specific literature and art type, the boundaries become unclear and many questions arise. One of the most difficult questions to answer is what poetry is and which criteria must be met in order for some work to be classified as poetry. It is known that authors such as Shakespeare, Byron, Cummings or Angelou are poets and their work is interpreted as poetry. However, can the circle of poetry and art be expanded to similar forms such as contemporary music? That is the topic of this thesis – analysis, explanation and specific examples of modern song lyrics which can be viewed as poetry and something more valuable in the art context than it actually is due to the commercialization of music. With songs performed by Tupac, Garbage, Leonard Cohen, Bill Withers and various artists who belong to different music genres and eras, poetry is broadened and upgraded to the 21st century level. Key words: Anglophone music, music, poetry, lyrics, analysis, literature, art, contemporary, modern, intermediation, authorship 2 Table of Contents Abstract

  • Behind the Music
    Q&A BEHIND THE MUSIC It’s crazy to think that this year marks the 20th Anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s passing – a true game-changer in our industry, and a man who, in many ways, revolutionised music, inadvertently spawning a whole new scene. Nevermind is a seminal record, and its success was the catalyst for record labels’ mission impossible, the search for ‘the next Nirvana’. Although he might not have known it at the time, those 16 days recording Nevermind would change Butch Vig’s career forever. It paved the way for a remarkable musical journey, the production of a string of hit records for supergroups such as The Smashing Pumpkins, The Foo Fighters, and many more... Not to mention Garbage, Vig’s own band, which has enjoyed more than 17 million record sales over the last two decades. This legend of the game reveals some of his trade secrets, and shares some fond, unforgettable memories... Your career speaks for itself, but first up, how did it all begin for you? Well, I played in bands in high school in a small town in Wisconsin, and then I went to University in Madison. I started getting into the local music scene, and joined a band, which was sort of a power pop, new wave band called Spooner; and Duke [Erikson] from Garbage was the guitarist and lead singer at the time. I also got a degree in film, and ended up doing a lot of music for film; a lot of synth, and abstract music, and that’s where I kind of got the recording bug.

  • “When I Listen to Gish,” Billy Corgan Says Today
    “When I listen to Gish,” Billy Corgan says today, “what I hear is a beautiful naïveté.” They say you never forget the first time, and even twenty years later, the 1991 debut album by Smashing Pumpkins –– guitarist and vocalist Corgan, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, bassist D’arcy Wretzky and guitarist James Iha –– remains the unforgettable start of a musical conversation that continues to resonate with millions of fans all around the world. In retrospect, Gish can clearly be heard as a groundbreaking album in the history of what would soon become more much widely known as alternative rock. Gish was, after all, the promising debut of a band that would help alternative rock quickly become part of a new, grungier mainstream. But back in the beginning, Gish was simply the memorable opening salvo by a band from Chicago that really didn’t fit in anywhere in the rock world –– that is, until bands like Smashing Pumpkins helped change the rock world once and for all. To hear Corgan tell it now, Smashing Pumpkins came by their beautiful naïveté naturally. “We’d had very little exposure to the national stage,” he explains. “There’s no way that if we had been exposed to all of what was going on in New York and L.A. earlier, we would have made Gish. This is one of those weird albums that sounds like it came from some guy who crawls up out of the basement holding a record in his hands proudly –– a little like the first time we heard Dinosaur Jr. You think, ‘who the hell is this? And where did that come from?’ ” According to Corgan, the album originally came from Smashing Pumpkins’ early vow of poverty.

  • Garbage, Die Band Um Die Schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker Und Butch Vig, Kommt Zurück Nach Deutschland!
    Garbage, die Band um die schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker und Butch Vig, kommt zurück nach Deutschland! Nachdem sich die Band in Madison im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin formiert hatte, ist 1995 ihr selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum erschienen. Die Platte mit Hits wie “Stupid Girl”, “Only Happy When It Rains”, “Queer” und Anderen verkaufte sich mehr als vier Millionen Mal und machte die Band um den erfolgreichen Produzenten Butch Vig - der unter anderem für Nirvanas “Nevermind” verantwortlich war - zu einer der einflussreichsten Alternative-Rock-Bands der USA. Ihr einzigartiger Sound und die provokante visuelle Ästhetik sorgten für weltweite Aufmerksamkeit und Erfolg. Das folgende Album “Version 2.0” überstieg den Erfolg des Debüts noch einmal, erreichte 1998 in vielen Ländern die Charts und wurde gleich in mehreren Kategorien – inklusive “Album des Jahres” - für einen Grammy nominiert. “Version 2.0” bleibt bis heute Garbages kommerziell erfolgreichstes Album. Mit “Beautiful Garbage” (2001) und “Bleed Like Me” (2005) folgten zwei weitere erfolgreiche Platten des Quartetts. Nach einer siebenjährigen Auszeit veröffentlichten Garbage 2012 das Album “Not Your Kind Of People” auf dem bandeigenen Indie-Label Stunvolume. Das Werk wurde damals unter den 50 besten Platten des Jahres im Rolling Stone geführt und von Pichtfork als “the alternative to everything” bejubelt. 2016 folgte „Strange Little Birds“, das ebenfalls von Fans und Kritikern hochgeschätzt ist. Garbage haben bis dato weltweit mehr als 15 Millionen Alben verkauft und sind in 45 Ländern aufgetreten – Deutschland war dabei jedoch immer eine ihrer wichtigsten Anlaufstellen. Die erste Jahreshälfte von 2019 verbringt die amerikanische Band größtenteils im Studio, um an ihrem siebten Album zu arbeiten.
