  • Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media
    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks. Adding to the song’s paranoia theme, back-up singers Daria and Roberta Donnay dawned dark shades while Benito Cortez played a chilling violin solo complete with creepy horror movie sound effects.

  • Mark Padmore
    ` BRITTEN Death in Venice, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden At the centre, there’s a tour de force performance by tenor Mark Padmore as the blocked writer Aschenbach, his voice apparently as fresh at the end of this long evening as at the beginning Erica Jeal, The Guardian, November 2019 Tenor Mark Padmore, exquisite of voice, presents Aschenbach’s physical and spiritual breakdown with extraordinary detail and insight Warwick Thompson, Metro, November 2019 Mark Padmore deals in a masterly fashion with the English words, so poetically charged by librettist Myfanwy Piper, and was in his best voice, teasing out beauty with every lyrical solo. Richard Fairman, The Financial Times, November 2019 Mark Padmore is on similarly excellent form as Aschenbach. Padmore doesn’t do much opera, but this role is perfect for him………Padmore is able to bring acute emotion to these scenes, without extravagance or lyricism, drawing the scale of the drama back down to the personal level. Mark Padmore Gavin Dixon, The Arts Desk, November 2019 Tenor ..It’s the performances of Mark Padmore and Gerald Finley that make the show unmissable. …Padmore……conveys so believably the tragic arc of Aschenbach’s disintegration, from pompous self-regard through confusion and brief ecstatic abandon to physical and moral collapse. And the diction of both singers is so clear that surtitles are superfluous. You will not encounter a finer performance of this autumnal masterpiece. Richard Morrison, The Times, November 2019 BACH St John Passion¸ Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Simon Rattle. Royal Festival Hall, London Mark Padmore has given us many excellent evangelists, yet this heartfelt, aggrieved, intimate take on St John’s gospel narrative, sometimes spiked with penetrating pauses, still seemed exceptional.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS COMPREHENSIVE TERRENCE MALICK RETROSPECTIVE Moments of Grace: The Collected Terrence Malick includes all of his features, some alternate versions, and a preview screening of his new film A Hidden Life November 15–December 8, 2019 Astoria, New York, November 12, 2019—In celebration of Terrence Malick’s new film, the deeply spiritual, achingly ethical, and politically resonant A Hidden Life, Museum of the Moving Image presents the comprehensive retrospective Moments of Grace: The Collected Terrence Malick, from November 15 through December 8. The films in the series span a period of nearly 50 years, opening with Malick’s 1970s breakthroughs Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), through his career-revival masterworks The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005), and continuing with his 21st- century films—from Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life (2011); the trio of To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017); and sole documentary project Voyage of Time (2016)—through to this year’s A Hidden Life.

The two countries are connected not only by the common history and religion, but also by much more tangible, inherited, structural, social and economic ties that can be measured by a double-digit percentage of the shares of each other’s GDP. Owing to the choices of the Ukrainian elites and the constant political instability that started in 2004, Russian-Ukrainian interdependence is weakening. Russia has chosen to remove its vitally important interests - the Black Sea Fleet naval base, energy transport infrastructure, defense contracts and Russian population - from Ukrainian influence. Under normal conditions, this process might have unfolded over decades, but it was accelerated in 2014 by the forcible seizure of power in Ukraine by supporters of the Maidan.

From democracy to dictator- ship. [Second edi on]. “Whoever is not jumping is a Moskal” is a chant that women and men of diff erent ages who took to Kiev Independence Square in win- ter 2013-2014 repeated trying to get warm. They kept jumping and laughing, for nobody in the ‘brave new world’ of the Ukrainian revo- lu on under Stepan Bandera’s banner fancied gaining the character of a staunch enemy of Ukrainian statehood. Mass demonstra ons of “angry ci zens” in Ukraine had objec ve reasons. This was a protest against ineff ec ve and corrupt govern- ment, against police and bureaucra c abuse of power, against unclear and dead-end policies of the President and the Government. All na onal libera on movements use the popular ideas and po- li cal sen ments that dominate the society as their posi ve mani- festo. Thus, exclusively le -wing ideologies were mainstream in the Russian Empire in 1917, radical Islamism was most popular in Arab countries during the Arab spring of 2012, whereas na onalism, also radical, turned mainstream in the Ukraine of 2013-2014. The book describes the development of Ukraine’s na onal- ist groups since 1991 un l present day. It focuses on the history of the parliamentary right-wing radical Svoboda party and the non- parliamentary Right Sector movement. The authors study the ideol- ogy, psychology and methods of poli cal struggle of these structures.

  • Interview with Olga Kurylenko for the Daily Life's Sunday
    SHE’S FRANK, SMART, FUNNY AND UNLUCKY IN LOVE. HERE BOND GIRL AND EX MODEL OLGA KURYLENKO OPENS UP TO JANE CORNWELL. lga Kurylenko’s people have booked a table for two in a cafe in Chelsea, in the heart of discrete, upper-crust west London. It will just be the two of us – no bodyguards, no PR girls flashing the five- minute sign, none of the media-minder obusiness often associated with celebrity interviews, especially ones with stunning, critically-acclaimed French-Ukrainian actresses on the cusp of A-list status. We’re meeting to talk about her role in Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, The Water Diviner, a drama about an Australian farmer, Joshua Connor (Crowe), who travels to Turkey in search of his three sons, missing after the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli. Kurylenko plays Ayshe, the mysterious woman who owns the Istanbul hotel in which Connor stays. There have been no press screenings, understanding so I haven’t seen the film. But the official trailer, with its swirling dust storms, swelling string music and exploding World War I battlefields underscores The Water Diviner’s wannabe blockbuster status. There’s a scene OLGA where Ayshe delivers linen to Connor’s room, her eyes big and sad under her headscarf. “There is nothing there but ghosts,” she says, a beguiling mix of beauty, strength and fragility. “Her husband has also disappeared in the war,” 35-year-old Kurylenko will tell me once she arrives (I have received a text saying she is running late). “But Ayshe refuses to marry her husband’s brother, as was the tradition in Turkey, because for her it is love or nothing.
