  • They Might Be Giants Severe Tire Damage Free Download
    they might be giants severe tire damage free download Severe Tire Damage (album) Severe Tire Damage is a primarily live album by They Might Be Giants, released in 1998. It also features a few studio tracks, including a new single ("Doctor Worm"). Contents. Song notes Song origins Track listing References External links. The live cuts, some recorded at soundchecks without any audience, feature at least one track from every album since their debut, which include a few old fan favorites that have been reworked since the duo adopted a full backing band. Songs like "She's an Angel", from their debut, They Might Be Giants and "Birdhouse in Your Soul", from their major label debut, Flood , are treated to multiple guitars and a horn section. Conversely, the song "Meet James Ensor" originally appeared on their first full band effort, John Henry (1994) and surfaces here in a bare-bones rendition, with only vocals and an accordion. Besides the aforementioned lack of an audience on several tracks, some tracks have also undergone studio "retooling" - most notably, "Ana Ng," which appeared in its untampered form (with an uncropped intro and without a heavily distorted voice saying, "I don't want the world. ") on the 1994 promo-only release "Live!! New York City." A condensed version of this album was released as Live , which featured 10 of the 24 tracks listed here. Song notes. Tracks 1, 2, and 17 were recorded in a studio rather than onstage; track 15 was recorded in a hotel room. [ citation needed ] Tracks 18-24 are hidden songs that were improvised in concert, based on the Planet of the Apes movie series.

  • From Radical to Routine: BURNING MAN and the TRANSFORMATION of a COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT
    From Radical to Routine: BURNING MAN AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF A COUNTERCULTURAL MOVEMENT Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Welch School for Graduate Studies Goucher College By Miriam Fathalla, B. Soc. Sci. Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability Program Goucher College 2015 Thesis Committee: Robert Baron, Ph.D., Advisor Rory Turner, Ph.D. Brian Doherty Abstract Burning Man refers to three entities; a community of motivated creatives, an organizational body and the week-long Nevada-desert art event that attracts up to 70,000 participants annually and culminates in the burning of a large effigy. All three iterations are rapidly growing and ask participants to embrace Ten Principles (or social ideals held in common) in order to create the liminal space that is ripe for individual and social transformation inherent to the Burning Man experience. With what may be considered widespread success of the event, Burning Man is grappling with how to sustain, protect and grow the culture of the event and community with many new participants each year. This work explores how the radical, avant-garde and transgressive event has necessarily changed over its 29-year history and how institutionalization, normalization and regulation has affected the spirit of curiosity, ingenuity and communitas at the heart of this extreme experience. It examines the trajectory of emergent culture, how emergent and dominant cultures interface and the role of cultural incorporation in this process. This work points to new directions for the practice and growing body of Cultural Sustainability work and theory by focusing on emerging cultural phenomenon and analyzing how Cultural Sustainability practices may be applied to the conscious creation/evolution of a culture.
