Album Of The Week: Mock Orange’s Put The Kid On The Sleepy Horse Even the most seasoned of music aficionados are bound to let at least one indie band from decades ago pass them by. It might be a tad embarrassing to say, but I never heard of Mock Orange before this week. The band from Evansville, Indiana has been around since the early ’90s and I just got their eighth album, Put The Kid On The Sleepy Horse. Turns out that it’s a fuzzy emo punk record that lights up the ears. In an era of music where fans are always receptive to nostalgia, Mock Orange harks back to alternative rock’s glory days with their latest release. Sounding very similar to acts like The Velvet Teen, Braid and Sunny Day Real Estate, Mock Orange have an honest approach to their music. What I find interesting about their newest album is that the guitars never sound the same. Each track on Put The Kid On The Sleepy Horse features a different vibrato and tuning from Ryan Grisham and Joe Asher’s guitars. Some songs sound fuzzy and raw while others have a bit of a laid-back pop vibe. It makes for a wonderful listening experience while keeping the ears alert and anxious for what’s next. Being recently introduced to Mock Orange makes me rethink what I was doing a few years ago when I could have been checking these guys out. Well, better late than never I guess. Let’s explore my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week so hopefully it’ll save the next music fan from making a similar mistake. Keys are present in “High Octane Punk Mode” and there’s a bit of a dream pop vibe coming from the guitars and bass. “Chrome Alligator” is a bit jangly with the bass from Heath Metzger anchoring the entire track. It gives a thud that separates the song from the rest on the album. The fuzzy tones come out in “Window;” there’s some serious power present that absolutely electrifies. When everything gets syncopated, it’s like a freight train roaring from start to finish. Unfortunately Mock Orange don’t have any show dates listed as of this writing, but be sure that they’ll be playing out more in support of their new album. Until they roll through your friendly neighborhood music venue, grab a copy of Put The Kid On The Sleepy Horse. It’s a unique record and a must listen for anyone who digs ’90s rock.

It's Not a Fashion Statement

Name of student: Claudia Gielis MA Thesis Advisor: Dr. M. Roza MA Thesis 2nd reader: Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Gielis /2 ENGELSE TAAL EN CULTUUR Teacher who will receive this document: Dr. M. Roza and Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Title of document: It’s Not a Fashion Statement. An exploration of Masculinity and Femininity in Contemporary Emo Music. Name of course: MA Thesis North American Studies Date of submission: 15 August 2018 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Claudia Gielis Gielis /3 Abstract Masculinity and femininity can be performed in many ways. The emo genre explores a variety of ways in which gender can be performed. Theories on gender, masculinity and femininity will be used to analyze both the lyrics and the music videos of these two bands, indicating how they perform gender lyrically and visually. Likewise a short introduction on emo music will be given, to gain a better understanding of the genre and the subculture. It will become clear that the emo subculture allows for men and women to explore their own identity. This is reflected in the music associated to the emo genre as well as their visual representation in their music videos. This essay will explore how both a male fronted band, My Chemical Romance, and a female fronted band, Paramore, perform gender. All studio albums and official music videos will be used to investigate how they have performed gender throughout their career.

This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

In Circles (Sunny Day Real Estate)
In Circles (Sunny Day Real Estate) ! ! “How It Feels To Be Something On” (Subpop, 1998) per i suoi quantitativi di dotazione o detonazione tecnica espressiva e compositiva può essere considerato – da quelle dotazioni o detonazioni che anche noi siamo – uno degli estremi traguardi del rock. Album di tali livelli – e gruppi di livelli considerabili gli estremi traguardi del rock tanto da venir detti anche post-rock: come Shellac, Polvo, Built To Spill, June Of 44, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – confermano e non smentiscono l’esaurimento di questo genere di musica popolare entro il decennio degli anni Novanta. O meglio, entro il primo lustro di questo decennio – fatte salve ecologicamente inevitabili propaggini rimasugli straboccamenti quali appunto ad esempio “How It Feels To Be Something On”. La vetta è la parte più alta della montagna ma non per questo non ne è anche la fine … Quattro anni prima – prima di sciogliersi e riunirsi, con formazione ritoccata, per la realizzazione del loro capo d’opera – i Sunny Day Real Estate, non a caso di Seattle, avevano contribuito con l’album “Diary” a compiere quella variazione sul tema grunge – l’ultimo movimento rock di massa, il grunge – denominata emocore (termine che contrae l’espressione "1 “emotional hardcore”, traducibile con qualche cosa del tipo: “punk emozionale”; anche se, come risulta dal nostro cenno alla genesi dei Sunny Day Real Estate, potremmo coniare forse più opportunamente l’espressione di “grunge emozionale”; o in maniera alternativa potremmo anche considerare lo stesso grunge “punk emozionale”, per distinguerlo dall’hardcore delle origini …). “Diary” uscì l’anno del suicidio dell’ultima rockstar – Cobain.
