Pillow Theory Is Doing Our Funk Gumbo 5 Questions FUNK GUMBO RADIO -- http://www.live365.com/stations/sirhobson Funk Gumbo Radio is greatly honored that the highly talented Kelsey Warren of the veteran indie rock group pILLOW tHEORY is doing our Funk Gumbo 5 Questions. pILLOW tHEORY’’s newly released EP is called MELTDOWN. pILLOW tHEORY BIO: pILLOW tHEORY is a NYC quartet, Kelsey Warren (vocals & guitar), Danos Ettrick (guitar), Joaquin C. De Baca (bass), Rich Kulsar (drums), who delivers a high- powered dynamic sound while successfully genre hopping under the modern rock umbrella (metal, punk, pop, free jazz). pILLOW tHEORY released their sophomore album OUTPATIENCE, recorded by Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, NIN). With Albini, they were able to manipulate their ever-changing moods to blend a sporadic yet cohesive sound. The album displays a delicate balance between heavy and light with change ups that may seem bizarre on paper, but work eloquently in sound. The band just released their new EP titled MELTDOWN, produced by Slim Willy of Ferrari Snowday (The Fray, Ninjasonik, LL Cool J) and Kelsey with additional mixing from sonic master Ron Saint Germain. And you can buy Meltdown on www.cdbabay.com. Also, look for pILLOW tHEORY on tour soon. Funk Gumbo Radio •• Los Angeles, CA 90019 • Live 365.com Internet Network •• [email protected] •• http://www.funkgumbo.com 11 8-15-2011 - Written By: David L. $Money Train$ Watts & Howard Hobson – – Funk Gumbo Radio Funk Gumbo 1: Describe the growth of the band from the first album 9 1/2 to Outpatience to your latest Meltdown EP. Describe the changes good or bad in the evolution of the group. pILLOW tHEORY: I wasn’t too comfortable recording the first album. Scott the drummer was at ease though haha, but I was still feeling things out and this “band” was forming at the same time. I always had a shy, cold feeling in big recording studios. The best part of that whole experience was Hillary Johnson who engineered and produced 9 ½. She opened me up to try new things, challenge myself and turn a cold environment a warm one. So I felt more confident and comfortable afterwards. The Outpatience sessions were amazing. We were definitely more of a band with a sound. We were rehearsed, confident, amped and prepared. Steve pulled the best out the band and was an amazing coach figure for us. He makes the studio feel like home and it shows on that recording. Meltdown was the next phase and again, the band had a sound and wanted to explore further sonic journeys. It felt right and I think we created an amazing body of work. You grow as a band in a rehearsal space, recording studio and live shows after years of doing it. Well, you should I guess haha. Funk Gumbo 2: Describe the writing process of pILLOW tHEORY. Is it more band or individual driven in crafting the following songs: * Blipsters & Buppies * Stalker * Four Drinks pILLOW tHEORY: I pretty much write the songs at home or other surroundings, bring them into rehearsal and then we shape them as a band. “Blipsters” came to me after reading this article on “blipsters” or "black hipsters" in Brooklyn and I thought it was hysterical. It was just my take on the whole clique thing whether i t’s underground or mainstream. I’ve experienced acceptance and rejecti on in both! Funk Gumbo Radio • Los Angeles, CA 90019 • Live 365.com Internet Network •• [email protected] •• http://www.funkgumbo.com 22 pILLOW tHEORY: “Stalker” was written about an experience I had and a friend had as well. That was definitely an example of my life in a song. Same with “Four Drinks” which is literally about me missing work due to drinking too much the previous night. Yes, I worked in the World Trade Center and drank heavily on September 10, 2001. I like to write about and explore life, people and situations I find interesting. Most pILLOW songs are about reality more so than fantasy. Funk Gumbo 3: Starting with your first interest in music up until this very moment, what artists have influenced you? pILLOW tHEORY: Prince is my all time master! Learned so much about performance, songwriting, production, and being a music chameleon just from his albums. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails kicked a new sonic wall down for me and definitely rubbed off in the best way. Huge influence and would be honored to work with him somehow one day. Grew up on lots of George Clinton, Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, The Cure, Smiths, Depeche Mode, Public Enemy, Metallica, Slayer, later Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, Stereolab, Deftones. Love Chris Cornell, Al Green and Prince vocally but most of my favorite vocalists are female: Bjork, PJ Harvey, Cassandra Wilson. Oh, Mike Patton! I can go on forever here. Too much influential music in my brain. Right now I’m listening to Deerhunter this very moment, Joni Mitchell earlier. Hmm, so far this year I’m feeling Bon Iver, Ume, the new Foo Fighters. Fleet Foxes are nice. Adele of course, everyone loves her lol. Definitely looking forward to new Mastodon! Yes I have music schizophrenia.

We paved the way in rock and roll from the beginning, but that fact seems to be forgotten for whatever reason. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix were all accepted and made history before I was born you know. One of the best things about Barack becoming president is the self esteem factor for minorities of all. So maybe more brothers and sisters will come out musically in the rock world whether it’s accepted or not. That’s what I would like. Funk Gumbo 5: Who would you like to perform with from the past, present or future? pILLOW tHEORY: Prince, NIN, Deftones, QOTSA, U2…so many Funk Gumbo Radio • Los Angeles, CA 90019 • Live 365.com Internet Network •• [email protected] •• http://www.funkgumbo.com 44 pILLOW tHEORY www.pillowtheory.com Funk Gumbo Radio • Los Angeles, CA 90019 • Live 365.com Internet Network •• [email protected] •• http://www.funkgumbo.com 55.

  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

Often there was an ADAT machine ready to go for any spontaneous outbursts (think ‘Nothing’ from the end of Disco Volante), but we tested out various setups at our disposal.” Trey Spruance, who often engineered these chaotic recordings, recalls: “I remember wanting to enhance audio separation and isolation to an extreme, using a kind of ‘musique concrète live mix’ approach, hoping that would capture the unruly individual spirits of our improvisation more faithfully.

  • INITIALS C.C. Liner Notes
    Chris Connelly : INITIALS C.C. Out-takes, Rarities and Personal Favourites 1982-2002 vol.1 01. Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.

  • An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 8-21-2019 An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Music Business Commons An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts By Megan Marie Carlan Arts and Entertainment Management Dr. Theresa Lant Lubin School of Business August 21, 2019 Abstract Ranging from inspirational songs void of theological language to worship music imbued with overt religious messages, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has a long history of being ill-defined. Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.
