But while Numan’s unique, pioneering style continues to connect The Red Eye Tour: with fans from the worlds of metal, hip-hop, EDM, industrial Young Roddy H Corner Boy P H Fiend and indie-rock, he remains as focused as ever in pursuing his own singular vision. His forthcoming album Splinter (due out in Dopplegang Reunion October 2013) utilizes many new sounds and ideas but is still very much a Numan record. Perhaps it’s the voice – one of the most distinctive in rock music. It’s often associated with machinery and icy alienation, but for those who are drawn to his music, there are strong emotions within the electronic noise. Gary Numan was born Gary Anthony James Webb on March one in the UK, and a sell-out tour followed. The Pleasure 8, 1958.

  • A Multi-Level Analysis of Songwriter Career Strategies by Rachel S
    Changing Patterns of Cooperation in Occupational Communities: A Multi-Level Analysis of Songwriter Career Strategies By Rachel Skaggs Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology August 10, 2018 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Daniel B. Cornfield, PhD Shaul Kelner, PhD Joshua Murray, PhD Copyright © 2018 by Rachel Skaggs All Rights Reserved ii To my father, Donnie Skaggs, who I’ve watched pursue his songwriting dreams. To my mother, Rose Skaggs, who supports his dreams and mine. To David Carlson. His dreams and mine are intertwined. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is an overwhelming task to think of all of the support that people have given me in support of this dissertation. My dissertation is about collaboration, and I have been unmeasurably lucky to have collaborated with wonderful people. I want to begin by thanking every songwriter I interviewed. Without their trust and insight, I could not have conducted research that is as compelling, touching, and important as the project that has emerged. The generosity and openness of these people, most of whom were total strangers to me, is inspiring. Next, I must acknowledge the support of the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. As a dissertation fellow at the Warren Center, I was able to truly develop my ideas and focus on the work of writing a good dissertation. My fellow fellows at the Warren Center challenged me and supported me. Danielle Picard, Wietske Smeele, Sara Kollner, Alexandra Alekseyeva, David Vila, and James Phelan all contributed to the ways I think about my own work as I try to present it in a manner that is intelligible and meaningful to an interdisciplinary audience.

  • Bio.Inthismomentritu
    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

  • Gary Numan - Hammersmith Apollo, London - November 28, 2014
    1 Gary Numan - Hammersmith Apollo, London - November 28, 2014 by Mireille Beaulieu Original French version © Obsküre magazine - http://www.obskuremag.net http://www.obskuremag.net/articles/gary-numan-live-hammersmith-apollo-londres- 28112014/ Gary Numan’s recent concert at London’s Hammersmith Apollo had long been announced as a major event. This show was the crowning moment of the world tour Numan had undertaken in October 2013, as he was promoting his new album Splinter (Songs from a broken mind ). Undoubtedly one of the artist’s major works, Splinter garnered unparalleled public and critical acclaim. It even entered the UK Top 20 – the first Numan album to do so since Warriors in 1983. Gary Numan started this long tour in the US before visiting the UK, Ireland, Israel, continental Europe (but sadly not Paris), Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Photos: Louise Barnes and Jim Napier © Jim Napier 2 But it was also a “homecoming concert”, a return to his roots for Numan, who currently resides in Los Angeles. For the first time since 1996, he was to take over the Hammersmith Apollo, the legendary UK venue formerly known as the Hammersmith Odeon. This is where David Bowie killed off his Ziggy Stardust character in 1973... Around the same period, a teenage Gary (then still Gary Webb) would often attend gigs there. Then, with the explosion of the Numan phenomenon in 1979, the “Hammy” became for many years the London venue of his choice when he was touring. Gary, who was born in Hammersmith, obviously has a deep connection with the place.

  • A Conversation with Gary Numan & John Bergin Mike Ragogna
    A Conversation with Gary Numan & John Bergin Mike Ragogna: John and Gary, what brought the two of you together for film From Inside? John Bergin: Gary had just moved to LA and was looking to learn about film scoring. There is no greater place to learn about the world of film music than Lakeshore Records where I am Art Director, so that's where we crossed paths. At the time were preparing From Inside for release after a three year tour playing festivals. When Gary came by to introduce himself, it was perfect timing that we were looking for a final score to the film. For Gary, scoring From Inside was a great way to introduce himself to the process. For me, it was literally a dream come true, having been a long-time fan of his work. Gary Numan: When I first moved to the US I introduced myself to a few people to let them know I was very interested in working on film and TV music. A few days after, I met with Brian McNellis at Lakeshore I had a phone call saying that they were interested in working with me on a special edition of John's From Inside animated movie. It was exactly what I was looking for. John was familiar with my music so it was a low pressure introduction for me into the requirements and skills of film score writing. It seemed to me that I would learn a lot, without somebody screaming at me and beating me with a large stick, which is exactly what happened.

He simply never fits the archetype: his best album, both Gin terms of artistic and commercial success, The Pleasure Principle (1979), has no guitars on it; his career was brief; and he retired at his peak. Therefore, he has received little critical attention; the only book-length analysis of his work is a slim volume from Paul Sutton (2018), who strains to fit him somehow into the rock canon. With few signposts at hand—and his own open refusal to be a star—writing about Numan is admittedly a challenge. In fact, Numan is a good test case for questioning the traditional belief in the authenticity of individual artistic genius.

Philadelphia Weekly New Orleans weed-rapper Curren$y has built a large following over the past few years for his mellowed-out rhymes and spacey instrumentals, releasing a string of solid albums and mixtapes at a nearly inhuman rate. Riverfront Times "You also can't argue against the fact that Curren$y's both prolific and consistent, a rare quality if there ever was one." PrefixMag.com "There is not a week that goes by, where his name isn’t either buzzing or trending online, something new drops on the radio, or there is new material available on iTunes." stupidDOPE.com Verde Terrace doesn't break any new territory for Curren$y, but "new territory" isn't really part of his M.O.-- he is digging a groove, one into which he settles more comfortably each year…Curren$y is refining the contours of his tiny universe so that it resembles no one else's. Pitchfork.com, Verde Terrace review (7.3 of 10) Curren$y understands the formula to creating a cult following: consistent, high quality music delivered frequently…Spitta offers an album full of his standard weed, women and clothes that made him the cult icon and fan favorite he is now.
