  • 3 Love Is a Fallacy
    #3 Love is a Fallacy By Max Shulman Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute--I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, as precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And--think of it!--I was only eighteen. It is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect. Take, for example, Petey Bellows, my roommate at the university. Same age, same background, but dumb as an ok. A nice enough fellow, you understand, but nothing upstairs. Emotional type. Unstable. Impressionable. Worst of all, a faddist. Fads, I submit, are the very negation of reason. To be swept up in every new craze that comes along, to surrender yourself to idiocy just because everybody else is doing it--this, to me, is the acme of mindlessness. Not, however, to Petey. One afternoon I found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face that I immediately diagnosed appendicitis. "Don't move," I said. "Don't take a laxative. I'll get a doctor." "Raccoon," he mumbled thickly. "Raccoon?" I said, pausing in my flight. "I want a raccoon coat," he wailed. I perceived that his trouble was not physical, but mental. "Why do you want a raccoon coat?" "I should have known it," he cried, pounding his temples. "I should have known they'd come back when the Charleston came back. Like a fool I spent all my money for textbooks, and now I can't get a raccoon coat." "Can you mean," I said incredulously, "that people are actually wearing raccoon coats again?" "All the Big Men on Campus are wearing them.

  • P-Rock Paradigms, Queer Hip Hop and Riot Grrrl Whiteness

Art Centre Arteleku, Spain/Austria 2009 P-Rock Paradigms, Queer Hip Hop and Riot Grrrl Whiteness Exploring the intersections of music, gender, and ethnicity in feminist zines by Red Chidgey and Elke Zobl with Haydeé Jiménez Photo by Elke Zobl Ablaze! is a fanzine because we are fanz, fanatics, zealots, extremists, we are wild for stuff we’re wild for and that fact can’t change, except these passions are so real they have sell-by dates, determined by my own chemistry. - Karren Ablaze of UK fanzine Ablaze!, 1993. Zines could almost go by another name: the passion press. Fuelled by love rather than profit, zines are homemade, idiosyncratic, arty journals, which are as eccentric as their makers’ desires. Emerging in the early twentieth century from science fiction writing communities, these periodicals mutated into Xeroxed Football, TV, Rap, and Punk fanzines alongside the rise of everyday office technology and post-war fandoms. Zines are crucial to the development of subcultural identities and political ideologies. Fans themselves become cultural producers through writing, editing, designing, publishing and disseminating their own texts – sometimes alone and sometimes in a group. The spread of desktop publishing and wider zine networking in the late 1980s saw the zine scene explode: from cooking zines to subversive colouring books, survivor rape diaries to thrift store chic, DIY publications sprung up on any topics imaginable. The digital realm inalienably shaped zine culture, but paper zines still exist in their thousands – the in-your-hand nature of zines is hard to beat.

  • Meet Me in the Land of Hope and Dreams Influences of the Protest Song Tradition on the Recent Work of Bruce Springsteen (1995-2012)
    Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Meet me in the Land of Hope and Dreams Influences of the protest song tradition on the recent work of Bruce Springsteen (1995-2012) Supervisor: Paper submitted in partial Dr. Debora Van Durme fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in de Taal- en Letterkunde: Nederlands- Engels” by Michiel Vaernewyck May 2014 Word of thanks The completion of this master dissertation would not have been possible without the help of several people that have accompanied me on this road. First of all, thank you to my loving parents for their support throughout the years. While my father encouraged me to listen to an obscure, dusty vinyl record called The River, he as well as my mother taught me the love for literature and music. Thanks for encouraging me to express myself through writing and my own music, which is a gift that money just cannot buy. Secondly, thanks to my great friends of the past few years at Ghent University, although they frequently – but not unfairly – questioned my profound passion for Bruce Springsteen. Also, thank you to my supervisor dr. Debora Van Durme who provided detailed and useful feedback to this dissertation and who had the faith to endorse this thesis topic. I hope faith will be rewarded. Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who proofread sections of this paper and I hope that they will also be inspired by what words and music can do. As always, much love to Helena, number one Croatian Bruce fan. Thanks to Phantom Dan and the Big Man, for inspiring me over and over again.

  • Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: a Memoir Free
    FREE HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL: A MEMOIR PDF Carrie Brownstein | 256 pages | 05 Nov 2015 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9780349007922 | English | London, United Kingdom Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein: | : Books Look Inside. Oct 27, Minutes Buy. Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon, she was a young girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest just as it was becoming the setting for one the most important movements in rock history. Seeking a sense of home and identity, she would discover both while moving from spectator to creator in experiencing the power and mystery of a live performance. With Sleater-Kinney, Brownstein and her bandmates rose to prominence in the burgeoning underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music and pop culture in the s. With deft, lucid prose Brownstein proves herself as formidable on the page as on the stage. That quality has become obvious over the course of eight albums with bandmates Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss… and now in her refreshingly forthright new memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. Instead, she candidly recounts the panic attacks and stress-induced shingles she experienced on tour. More important, it shows how compelling she is when she opens up. She carries a lot of humor and gentle self-deprecation throughout the work. For Carrie Brownstein, who grew up in the Riot Grrrl movement in the Pacific Northwest, they did: She started out playing in countless punk bands until settling on one with her BFF and romantic partner, Corin Tucker, which they eventually turned into the best rock band of all time, Sleater-Kinney.

  • Skyler Osburn
    Skyler Osburn “Lynch and Non-Lynch: A Cinematic Engagement with Process Philosophies East and West” English and Philosophy – Oklahoma State University Honors Thesis 1 Introduction I have envisioned what follows as, primarily, a work of comparative philosophy. My understanding of the sense of ‘philosophy’ extends beyond the accepted foundational works of logic, epistemology, and metaphysics, to include psychoanalytical frameworks, as well as aesthetic theories and their aesthetic objects. Whether thinking it or living it, and regardless of its particular effects, philosophy is a fundamentally creative endeavor, so artistic processes especially have a natural place alongside any mode of analytical reasoning. Given these premises, readers of this essay should not expect to find any thorough arguments as to why a given filmmaker might need to be approached philosophically. This project simply accepts that the filmmaker at hand does philosophy, and it intends to characterize said philosophy by explicating complementary figures and paradigms and then reading particular films accordingly. Furthermore, given the comparative nature of the overall project, it might be best to make an attempt at disposing of our presuppositions regarding the primacy of the argumentative as such. In what follows, there are certainly critical moments and movements; for instance, the essay’s very first section attempts to (briefly and incompletely) deconstruct Sartre’s dualistic ontology. Nevertheless, these negative interventions are incidental to a project which is meant to be primarily positive and serve as a speculatively affirmative account of David Lynch’s film- philosophical explorations. The essay that follows is split unevenly into two chapters or divisions, but the fundamental worldview developed throughout its course necessitates the equally fundamental interdependence of their specific conceptualizations.

  • The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Not All Killed by John Wayne: The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk 1940s to the Present A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in American Indian Studies by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Not All Killed by John Wayne: Indigenous Rock ‘n’ Roll, Metal, and Punk History 1940s to the Present by Kristen Le Amber Martinez Master of Arts in American Indian Studies University of California Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Maylei Blackwell, Chair In looking at the contribution of Indigenous punk and hard rock bands, there has been a long history of punk that started in Northern Arizona, as well as a current diverse scene in the Southwest ranging from punk, ska, metal, doom, sludge, blues, and black metal. Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.

  • Words and Guitar
    # 2021/24 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2021/24/words-and-guitar Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie von Sleater-Kinney Words and Guitar Von Dierk Saathoff Vojin Saša Vukadinović Zehn Alben haben Sleater-Kinney in den 27 Jahren seit ihrer Gründung aufgenommen, von denen das zehnte, »Path of Wellness«, kürzlich erschienen ist. Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie der wohl besten Band der Welt. »Sleater-Kinney« (LP: Villa Villakula, CD: Chainsaw Records, 1995) 1995 spielten die beiden Gitarristinnen Corin Tucker und Carrie Brownstein erst seit einem Jahr unter dem Namen Sleater-Kinney, waren nach Misty Farrell und Stephen O’Neil (The Cannanes) aber bereits bei der dritten Besetzung am Schlagzeug angelangt, der schottisch-australischen Indie-­Musikerin Lora MacFarlane. Nach einer frechen Single und Compilation-Tracks auf Tinuviel Sampsons feministischem Label Villa Villakula erschien dort das Vinyl vom Debütalbum, die CD-Version aber auf Donna Dreschs Queercore-Label Chainsaw. Selten klang Angst durchdringender als auf diesem derben wie dunklen Erstlingswerk, das mit zehn Liedern in weniger als 23 Minuten aufwartet. Corin Tucker kreischt sich die Seele aus dem Leib und Carrie Brownsteins Schreien auf »The Last Song« stellt mit Leichtigkeit ganze Karrieren mediokrer männlicher Hardcore-Bands in den Schatten. Mit Sicherheit nicht nur das unterschätzteste Album der Bandgeschichte, sondern des Punk in den neunziger Jahren überhaupt. »Call the Doctor« (Chainsaw Records, 1996) Album Nummer zwei zeigte eine enorme musikalische Weiterentwicklung. »Call the Doctor« ist das streckenweise intelligenteste Album von Sleater-Kinney, das sich einerseits vor der avancierten Musikszene im Nordwesten der USA verneigte, in der die Band entstanden war (Olympia, Washington), zugleich aber äußerst eigenständig vorwärtspreschte und bei allem Zorn auf die Ausprägungen misogyner Kultur Anflüge von Zärtlichkeit nicht scheute: Selten wurde Unsicherheit so ehrlich vorgetragen wie auf »Heart Attack«.
