  • The Most Anticipated Pop Album of 2021?
    24K GOLDN + IANN DIOR It might be a new year, but 24kGoldn and lann Dior still want to know why you're in a mood. The duo's pop-punk-inflected rap hit has risen to the No. 1 slot on the charts once again this week, making it the seventh week the song has reigned. Even if the weeks weren't consecutive, that's still an impressive feat for these two rising songwriters, neither of whom were household names before this hit. Speaking of household names, Dua Lipa' s long-tail disco bop "Levitating" just broke the top ten for the first time - thanks to the remix version with a verse from chart fiend DaBaby. Maybe that charming duo will be bounding to their own No. 1 before long. LISTEN BUBBLING UNDER LAUV Lauv made a big splash in 2020 with his independently released album -how i'm feeling-. But multiple hits with the Likes of Anne-Marie and Troye Sivan weren't enough for the emerging pop songwriter, and he closed out a successful year with a mesmerizing AutoTuned ballad titled "2021." Since he's so often chasing down sticky hooks and airy, Light pop fare, it's a change of pace to hear him crooning and getting into the gloomy underbelly of his feelings. No matter how Lauv is feeling, the songs hit home. LISTEN REMEMBER WHEN HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOLLY PARTON! Though longtime fans of Dolly Parton have known she's an incredibly generous philanthropic force for good, the rest of the world found out about her bountiful heart last year when she helped fund research for one of the COVID-19 vaccines.

  • Billy Parker a Country Music Mainstay with 20+ Charted Singles, but Most Influencial In His Roll As Radio Disc Jockey.
    Billy Parker A country music mainstay with 20+ charted singles, but most influencial in his roll as radio disc jockey. Chapter 01 – 1:40 Introduction Announcer: While Billy Parker was a mainstay on country radio, his claim to fame was as an influential disc jockey, not as a performer. Ionically, for all of the Top 40 Country Hits he spun over the course of his decades on the air, not one of them was his own. Born July 19, 1939, in Tuskegee, OK, he began playing guitar as a child and by the age of 14 had made his professional debut on the Tulsa radio program Big Red Jamboree. A few years later, he began performing in clubs and in 1959 landed his first DJ work. By 1963, Billy was the regular daytime disc jockey on KFDI in Wichita, Kansas and also hosted a Tulsa television program. In the same year, he cut his first single, and was named “Mr. DJ U.S.A.” in a nationwide poll, which helped land him at Nashville, Tennessee’s WSM. After his 1966 release “I’m Drinking All the Time”, Parker began playing with Ernest Tubb’s Troubadours in 1968, staying with the group for three years, when he joined Tulsa’s KVOO. Billy was named Disc Jockey of the Year by the Academy of Country & Western Music in 1975 and he won the award again in 1977, 1978, and 1984. In 1976, he scored his first chart hit with “It’s Bad When You’re Caught (With the Goods),” from the album Average Man.

  • A Guide for Gay Dads Produced by Stonewall Registered Charity No
    A guide for gay dads Produced by Stonewall www.stonewall.org.uk/parenting Registered Charity No. 1101255 In partnership and sponsored by The London Sperm Bank www.londonspermbank.com and The Big Lottery Fund Welcome. Gay men often play an important part in their families as brothers, sons, uncles, nephews and godfathers. Gay men also provide love and support for the children in their extended families. But many gay men are also, or want to be, dads to children. Whether through adoption and fostering, or biologically fathering a child, gay men who want to be dads can be. But the decisions you’ll have to make can be complex. This is why Stonewall, with the kind support of The London Sperm Bank and The Big Lottery Fund, has produced this guide. This comprehensive guide tells you everything you need to know about becoming a dad. It also provides information about your rights if you’re a dad or have caring responsibilities. Finally it will point you in the direction of further expert advice and support to help you during the process. We hope this guide will help you on your exciting journey to fatherhood. Ben Summerskill Chief Executive, Stonewall The most important questions Deciding to be a dad is not a small decision. The first and most important questions you need to ask are why you want to have children and what differences it will make to your life. Are you ready to have children? Are you ready to make the necessary changes to your life to enable you to have a child? Do you have a partner? What does he think? And how do you want to go about starting a family? This guide will help you answer some of those questions, and more that you’ve probably not thought of yet.

  • Kendrick Lamar's Criticism of Racism and The
    ‘We Gon’ Be Alright’: Kendrick Lamar’s Criticism of Racism and the Potential for Social Change Through Love by Courtney Julia Heffernan B.A. Hons., University of Western Ontario, 2014 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2016 © Courtney Julia Heffernan, 2016 Abstract This thesis explores Kendrick Lamar’s criticism of institutionalized racism in America and its damaging effects on African-American subjectivity on his albums Section.80, Good Kid M.A.A.D City and To Pimp a Butterfly. The albums address the social implications of racism in the present day, throughout Lamar’s life and throughout the lives of his ancestors. In my analysis of Lamar’s albums, I address the history of American chattel slavery and its aftermath as a social system that privileges white over black. On the basis of my interpretation of the penultimate track on To Pimp a Butterfly, “i,” I propose a love ethic as a means through which the American social order can be changed. I take the term love ethic from Cornel West and bell hooks. A love ethic is a means through which individual bodies hurt by racism can be recognized and revalorized. Through the course of his three studio albums Lamar offers a narrative remediation of America’s discriminatory social order. In so doing, Lamar enacts the social change he wishes to see in America. ii Preface This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, Courtney Heffernan.
