These present a very diverse picture of the foreign population of the city of Basel and their personal circumstances. In letters, petitions, police reports, and submissions, the question is again and again: Who can stay, who must go?

  • Live Music Matters Scottish Music Review
    Live Music Matters Simon Frith Tovey Professor of Music, University of Edinburgh Scottish Music Review Abstract Economists and sociologists of music have long argued that the live music sector must lose out in the competition for leisure expenditure with the ever increasing variety of mediated musical goods and experiences. In the last decade, though, there is evidence that live music in the UK is one of the most buoyant parts of the music economy. In examining why this should be so this paper is divided into two parts. In the first I describe why and how live music remains an essential part of the music industry’s money making strategies. In the second I speculate about the social functions of performance by examining three examples of performance as entertainment: karaoke, tribute bands and the Pop Idol phenomenon. These are, I suggest, examples of secondary performance, which illuminate the social role of the musical performer in contemporary society. 1. The Economics of Performance Introduction It has long been an academic commonplace that the rise of mediated music (on record, radio and the film soundtrack) meant the decline of live music (in concert hall, music hall and the domestic parlour). For much of the last 50 years the UK’s live music sector, for example, has been analysed as a sector in decline. Two kinds of reason are adduced for this. On the one hand, economists, following the lead of Baumol and Bowen (1966), have assumed that live music can achieve neither the economies of scale nor the reduction of labour costs to compete with mass entertainment media.

  • Canal Convergence Events
    Item 23 CITY COUNCIl REPORT Meeting Date: June 27, 2017 General Plan Element: Economic Vitality General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 10821 authorizing a FY 2017/18 Tourism Development Fund operating contingency transfer in the amount of $650,000 to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget for use in supporting the 2018 Canal Convergence events. BACKGROUND It started as an idea, a conversation, a meeting and grew into a partnership between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Public Art and Salt River Project. Many others have since joined, all of whom share in the belief that Public Space conceived upon the nature of what supports us, what keeps us here, what inspires our creativity and enables our growth is the reflection of all that is important for sustaining life in this desert city. Canal Convergence is this idea. Since 2012 it has been a place of engagement, a place where international and local artists come together to celebrate a one of a kind community environment and immersive art experience for all, and a new point of pride for Scottsdale residents and businesses. As Canal Convergence began taking shape, the Tourism Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2013 outlined the importance of creating a destination event during the tourism industry's shoulder season (May through December). Through the Council appointed Tourism Advisory Task Force (TATF) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the city contracted with Webb Management Services to complete a three-phased destination event study. The goal of the study (Webb Report) was to identify events that would: 1.

  • Garbage & the Temper Trap Join for Next Winery Series!
    Media Release – Thursday July 28 GARBAGE & THE TEMPER TRAP JOIN FOR NEXT WINERY SERIES! With the Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita a day on the green has assembled an epic line-up for its next series of winery concerts. Alt-rock pioneers Garbage and Australia’s own multi-platinum chart toppers The Temper Trap will come together as part of their respective national tours for five outdoor events through November/December. The concerts will feature a stellar under-card with special guests The Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita. The five band bill kicks off at Victoria’s Rochford Wines on Saturday November 26. These will be the Garbage’s first Australian shows since 2013 and celebrate their acclaimed sixth studio album Strange Little Birds (out now via Liberator Music). To create Strange Little Birds, their first album in four years, Garbage (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) drew on a variety of influences including the albums they loved growing up. Upon its June release, the album debuted at #9 on the ARIA Album Chart and picked up widespread acclaim: ‘20-plus years after forming, each band member is still fired up to mine new sounds and approaches for inspiration. That willingness to be uncomfortable and look beneath the surface makes Strange Little Birds a rousing success.’ – The A.V. Club ‘The electronic rockers return with a sixth studio album as cool and caustic as their 1995 debut’ – NME ‘Garbage haven’t released an album this immediate, melodically strong and thematically interesting since their self-titled 1995 debut.’ – Mojo In support of the album’s release, Garbage performed a powerful two-song performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! – watch ‘Empty’ here and ‘Push It’ here.
