A medium sized fellow wit h a large cranium holding a still larger brain he coul d do no less . Large cranium does not mean exag- gerated ego or in simpler language "Iism" . In fact he is the personification of modesty yet possess - ing withal sufficient self confidence to tide him ove r the waves of adversity . Beantown being the hom e of brainy men it was quite proper that Leon Mc - Grady should be born there, which event occure d August, 1893 . When at the age of ten years, dressed in short trousers, a lovely little Lord Faunteleroy blous e and "postage stamp cap" he entered the Highland School, he continued to demonstrate his precocity . Upon receiving his parchment he set sail on th e tempestuous seas of a high school career . The year 1911 saw him elected president of the class . H e set to work at once unifying the members . His accomplishments in 1912 require no enumeration here . Electrical engineering will be his life work, in preparation for which he will enter M . I . T., Leon Lempert we wis h you well ! Everett H. Francis popular officer of our Cadet battalion is Captain Everett Francis of Co . A. He A is an absolute necessity at all social function s connected with the school . A candidate for president of our class, h e gave our present illustrious official, Mr . McGrady a close run for the honor, and was elected vice - president, in which capacity he has served th e class admirably . Everett is a Technical student with aspira- tions toward Worcester Polytechnic Institute, an d there is little doubt that he will succeed as notabl y there in his studies as he has here at Durfee, wher e he is generally known as a persevering student. It would seem that his particular little weak- ness is "sitting out" dances, and to judge fro m numerous comments he is remarkably expert at it . Everett is a very attractive appearing officer , and excites much admiration when drilling his company . The class will extend to him only th e best wishes for success in the new school which he expects to attend. THE DURFEE RECORD 1 5 Laura Vestal L AURA first opened her serious peepers i n Fall River on February 6, 1894 . High - land grammar school was responsible fo r her efficient preparation for Durfee. Laura is a naturally good student and is equally active in the social life of the school . In her junior year she was elected class secretary . In the class oper- etta she took the part of a house-maid . Her sunn y smile is always in evidence . Perhaps this smile and her winning dimple are partly accountable for her popularity among her fellow classmates . Laura is very fond of music and reading, and muc h of her spare time is spent in the pursuance of thes e two pleasures. No doubt more of her time will be devoted to the study of music after graduation . Everett Grant Smith EVERETT Grant Smith was heralded int o this world on May 28, 1894 amid grea t cheering for he was to he the Major o f the cadets in the B. M . C. Durfee High school . Military images and tin soldiers were his play- things in youth, and he has acquired after much drilling, a magnificent and commanding voice . He received his diploma from the Davenpor t grammar school and joined our soldiers when h e entered Durfee. He has the honor of being th e bravest man in the class . As a soldier? Well, per- haps, but we refer to his social bravery . We can say on good authority that he was the first in th e class to sport a dress-suit, and numerous socia l marks have shown us his courage . He has made a great success of the Cadet Battalion this year . As a member of the Class Play Committee he wa s a valuable asset . We wish the Major success i n his military career . 16 THE DURFEE RECOR D Albert Foster Munroe T would seem almost impossible for Durfee to d o without Albert . He is the source of many I marvelous ideas, sometimes they materialize , other times they do not . From experience we have learned that he i s rather too optimistic. As Editor in Chief of th e Premier he has made himself famous . He is a typical newspaper man with a generous supply o f nerve. This faculty he sometimes used in schoo l hours, engaging in discussions which often amused his listeners. At the Highland School, Albert wa s noted for absent-mindedness and even now he ha s lapses of his old delinquency .

  • “Heretic Streak”: the Orwellian Aesthetic in Ray Davies' Song Writing And
    STUDIA HUMANISTYCZNE AGH Tom 15/2 • 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.7494/human.2016.15.2.7 Izabela Curyłło-Klag* Jagiellonian University in Krakow UTOPIA, DYSTOPIA AND THE “HERETIC STREAK”: THE ORWELLIAN AESTHETIC IN RAY DAVIES’ SONG WRITING AND OTHER CREATIVE PROJECTS The article explores the infl uence of Orwell’s fi ction on the creative output of Ray Davies, one of Britain’s fi nest songwriters and the erstwhile frontman of The Kinks, a ‘British Invasion’ group. The Davies oeuvre can be placed alongside Orwell’s work due to its entertainment value, sharpness of ob- servation and complex, confl icted socio-political sympathies. By balancing utopian visions with dystopian premonitions and by offering regular critiques of the culture they hold dear, Orwell and Davies represent the same tradition of cautious patriotism. They also share a similar aesthetic, communicating their insights through humour, self-mockery and acerbic wit. Keywords: Orwell, Ray Davies, pop culture, dystopia, utopia In the opening frame of a documentary on The Kinks, Hugh Fielder, a well-known English music critic, comments: “If George Orwell wrote songs, and was not a member of the socialist party, he’d be writing Ray Davies’ songs”. He then immediately checks himself: “Sorry, that’s a literary allusion, it’s probably gonna go whoosh” (The Kinks Story 2010: 3’21). Mentioning literature with reference to a British Invasion band is not exactly the done thing: rockers do not usually enthuse over writers, even if they share their love of words. Not long ago for instance, the frontman of Oasis declared that reading fi ction is a waste of time, and dismissed the whole publishing business as elitist, since it allows “people who write and read and review books [to put] themselves a tiny little bit above the rest of us” (Gallagher 2013).

    Follow the Kinks through the dark alleyways and passages of L O N D O N If you don’t have enough time to attempt The Great North London Kinks Tour, you might like to take in at least a few of the major Kinks locations in and around Muswell Hill, as described on the Jim Smart / Geoff Lewis Big Black Smoke site. Much of the research which has led to this route was carried out by Peter Ølgaard, Olga Ruocco and Jayne Morgan. Wherever you are starting from, get onto the Northern Line of the underground, and travel to Archway. Walk across to the Archway Tavern (22). Sadly it is not a proper pub any more, so no longer suitable for a quick drink to get your tour started Take a number 134 bus to Muswell Hill Broadway (8).On a clear fresh morning, Peter recommends the attractive ride up Muswell Hill Road. Ray Davies mentions in “X-Ray” riding the 134 down to Leicester Square, although nowadays the route only runs as far as Tottenham Court Road. Walk along Fortis Green (or take a 102 bus). You will pass Midhurst Avenue, where Ray and Rasa had their second home (anyone know which number?) After a while you will come to Denmark Terrace. Number 6 was the Davies family home (13). Directly opposite is the wonderful Clissold Arms (12). Have a few more beers and look at the Kinks exhibits on display there. Remember that time is tight - you may have trouble tearing yourself away. Continuing along Fortis Green, you see number 87, which was Ray and Rasa's third home (14).

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.

  • Tom Robinson
    Tom Robinson Thomas Giles Robinson (born 1 June 1950) is a British singer-songwriter, bassist, radio presenter and long-time LGBT rights activist, best known for the hits "Glad to Be Gay", "2-4-6-8 Motorway", and "Don't Take No for an Answer", with his Tom Robinson Band. He later peaked at No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart with his solo single "War Baby". In 1973, Robinson moved to London and joined the acoustic trio Café Society. They impressed Ray Davies, of The Kinks, enough for him to sign them to his Konk label and produce their debut album. According to Robinson, Davies's other commitments made the recording a lengthy process and, after it sold only 600 copies, he left the band. Subsequently, when the Tom Robinson Band were playing at the Nashville Rooms in London, Robinson saw Davies enter and sarcastically performed The Kinks' hit "Tired of Waiting for You". Davies retaliated with the less- than-complimentary Kinks single "Prince of the Punks", about Robinson. In London, Robinson became involved in the emerging gay scene and embraced the politics of gay liberation, which linked gay rights to wider issues of social justice. Inspired by an early Sex Pistols gig, he founded the more political Tom Robinson Band in 1976. The following year the group released the single "2-4-6-8 Motorway", which peaked at No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart for two weeks. The song alludes obliquely to a gay truck driver. In February 1978, the band released the live extended play Rising Free, which peaked at No.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Miles Kane Bio 2012
    Miles Kane Dubbed “one of Britain’s landmark composers” by MOJO, 26-year-old intrepid rock ‘n’ roller Miles Kane has gone from selling out Water Rats to winning over crowds at major UK and international festivals. Dapper of suit and young Macca of hair, he’s been capturing the nation’s hearts, souls and minds since May 2011, after storming the scene with acclaimed solo debut ‘Colour of the Trap’. One of the biggest selling debut LPs of that year – and one which would curry favour with critics and fans alike – it cemented Miles’ fate as a new British musical institution. Produced by Dan Carey in South London and Dan the Automator in San Francisco – to give his rhythm tracks a hip hop undertow – the album earned him endless plaudits – including 4* reviews from the NME, The Times, The Independent, the Guardian, Q and MOJO – and peaked at No.11 in the UK Charts. He became one of 2011’s success stories, nominated for Breakthrough Act at the MOJO Awards that year, and for Best Solo Artist at the NME awards 2012, as well selling out two headline tours and providing special guest support to Beady Eye, Kasabian and the Arctic Monkeys at their momentous hometown Don Valley Bowl shows. But now let’s dip into the recent past. Aged 18, Kane was a member of The Little Flames. In 2007, from the embers of that band he formed The Rascals. He first met Alex Turner when The Rascals supported the Sheffield four-piece the same year. He spent most of 2008 playing and touring with the Arctic Monkeys frontman as The Last Shadow Puppets, in support of their Mercury-nominated album ‘The Age Of The Understatement’.
