The State Government announced in a visit to the school by the Premier Colin Barnett that Cecil Andrews Senior High School would have an academic focus, with changes to be in place for the start of the 2017 school year. A new building will be constructed for science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects – including laboratories, a lecture theatre and preparation areas. Principal Stella Jinman said that Cecil Andrews Senior High School welcomed a fresh vision. “We’re passionate about education – my team of educators are very dedicated and hard-working,” Ms Jinman said. “We’re delighted that the Government is investing in us, in an area of need. I am delighted Cecil Andrews has been recognised as a hub for learning in the community. This funding will see a further expansion of our high quality teaching and learning programs. The change of focus provides opportunities to hand select the very best specialist academic staff for the extension program for Year 7s to Year 10s, ensuring the very best outcomes for our students. “I think it will be a very modern, 21st century look at what can be done, thinking about an imaginative and creative model of education that is responsive to the community. -

Sh-Boom« Die Gesangsgruppen
15. »Sh-Boom« Die Gesangsgruppen Martin Pfleiderer In den USA gab es bereits im 19. Jahrhundert professionelle Gesangsgrup- pen. So reisten etwa im Rahmen von Minstrelsy und Vaudeville zahlreiche singende Familiengruppen, insbesondere von Immigranten aus Deutsch- land und Österreich, durchs Land (vgl. Friedman/Gribin 2013: 3–9). Im 20. Jahrhundert veränderten sich die Traditionen des Gruppengesangs aufgrund der fortschreitenden Professionalisierung und der neuen Me- dientechnologien, aber auch aufgrund gesamtkultureller Veränderungen. Im Folgenden sollen einige der stilistischen Entwicklungen des populären Gruppengesangs in den USA zwischen 1900 und 1960 dargestellt werden. Die zentrale Fragestellung richtet sich auf die Art und Weise, wie die ver- schiedenen Gesangsstimmen einer Vokalgruppe zusammenwirken. Diese Gestaltungsweisen, ihr Auftreten in verschiedenen Musikgenres und ihre historischen Veränderungen sollen exemplarisch anhand von einflussrei- chen Aufnahmen und Vokalgruppen dargestellt werden. Gegenstand sind Vokalgruppen mit einer Besetzung von drei bis sechs Sängerinnen oder Sängern mit oder ohne zusätzliche Instrumental begleitung, die unter ei- nem gemeinsamen Gruppennamen aufgetreten sind. Vokalensembles, die als Background-Bands für einen Gesangsstar fungieren, werden dagegen nur am Rande thematisiert, ebenso wie größere Vokalensembles und Chö- re. Historischer Ausgangspunkt sind Praktiken und Gestaltungsweisen des Gruppengesangs, wie sie in frühen Aufnahmen des Hillbilly bezie- hungsweise Folk und Country und der afroamerikanischen -

Lamp Records Singles Discography
Lamp Records by Frank Daniels On June 12, 1954, Aladdin Records announced that they were preparing to open a subsidiary label – appropriately named Lamp. Instead of being spread across the genres of R&B and Jazz, Lamp was going to focus exclusively on Rhythm & Blues. Lamp Records sent out its first promotional releases near the end of June, and at the beginning of July, four Lamp singles appeared on the commercial marketplace. Within a month, Aladdin opened an office in New York City, and Lamp Records took New York as its base of operations. Over the next six months, the new label released several batches of singles in two series. These were the 8000 series of R&B singles and two discs in the 9000 series, which was devoted to gospel music. Then, as suddenly as the label opened, Lamp closed its doors … temporarily. The matrix numbering at this time followed the system that Aladdin used more broadly, featuring a prefix indicating the recording place (e.g., TEX- for Texas or SF- for San Francisco) and a four-digit sequence number. Although the trade magazines did not always agree with their choice, Aladdin used the suffix “X” to mark the A-side of the single and a “Q” to indicate the B-side. Lamp Singles, 8000 & 9000 Series Lamp 8001 “When the Sun Goes Down”/ “Tryin’ to Fool Me” Leonard Lee First Mentioned in Trade Magazines: July 3, 1954 78 RPM single above; 45 RPM single below. Lamp 8001 “When the Sun Goes Down”/ “Tryin’ to Fool Me” Leonard Lee Leonard Lee was the “second half” of the Aladdin duo, Shirley & Lee. -

The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people. -
Songwriters by TONY FLETCHER
AHMET ERTEGUN AWARD Songwriters BY TONY FLETCHER he truly flourished, as a house writer, arranger, and producer (and the only black man on the payroll). Bringing to bear his four decades of valuable experience, he helped veer Atlantic away from its initial obsession with jazz toward something more danceable. “The only thing that was missin’ from the stuffwe were recordingwas the rhythm,” he told Nick Tosches for the opening profile of the book Unsung Heroes ofRoc\ ’n Roll; Stone claimed to have corrected that absence by creating the bass line at the heart of many an Atlantic recording. Stone’s compositions combined that inveterate swing with an impish humor, as in the debut single for Clyde McPhatter’s Drifters, who took “Money Honey” to the top of the R6s?B charts in 1953. Stone also wrote for Atlantic legends Ray Charles (“Losing Hand”), Ruth Brown (‘A s Long as I’m Moving”), and LaVern Baker (“Soul on Fire”), but he truly left his mark with “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” A familiar battle cry from craps nights, and written specifically for his old Kansas City friend Big Joe Turner, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” popularized a number of ribald references to the sexual act, most famously that of “a one-eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store. It also rocked like nothing before. Turner’s version was Jesse Stone an R6s?B sensation; the 1954 recording later by Bill Haley and the Comets then helped break the newly labeled “rock 5 ? roll” music among white audiences. Perhaps no other American popular-music composer strad- Stone followed up with “Flip Flop and Fly” for Turner died the twentieth century quite like Jesse Stone, and not (and Haley), “Your Cash Ain ’t Nothin’ but Trash” for the Clo only because he witnessed its every single year.
