  • The Jesus & Mary Chain in Concerto All’
    The Jesus & Mary Chain in concerto all’Alcatraz di Milano: data posticipata a dicembre MILANO, 25 gennaio 2021-‘Darklands’è il secondo episodio targato The Jesus & Mary Chain, seguito di quella pietra miliare che è tutt’oggi l’acclamatissimo Psycocandy. Nuovo album che la band riproporrà nella data milanese del 21 dicembre 2021 all’Alcatraz di Milano. Dieci brani spalmati in 35 minuti che trasudano un’oscura bellezza. E’ il 1987 quando i fratelli Reid danno alle stampe questo gioiello decadente, carico come sempre di riverberi, ma che segna un solco evidente con il loro disco d’esordio. La dipartita di Gillespie, impegnato coi suoi Primal Scream, produce un cambiamento notevole nel suono della band scozzese, che per la prima volta fa uso di una drum machine. Il risultato è un disco in cui le chitarre sferzanti e il furore degli esordi si stemperano lasciando spazio a brani più pop, morbide ballate malinconiche e atmosfere trasognate, senza però perdere quel senso di inquietudine che pervadeva Psychocandy. Il disco raggiunge il quinto posto delle charts inglesi, punto più alto mai raggiunto dai Mary Chain, e viene successivamente inserito nel compendio “1001 dischi da ascoltare prima di morire”. Dal vivo la band suonerà per intero Darklands per la prima volta in assoluto. Un evento unico che celebra un disco immortale ed irripetibile, da ascoltare e riascoltare. Band di culto degli anni Ottanta, i Jesus and Mary Chain, hanno con il loro stile e la loro musica rivoluzionato la scena di un’intera generazione. Il nuovo album di inediti intitolato “Damage & Joy” è uscito lo scorso 24 Marzo 2017 anticipato dal singolo “Amputation” su etichetta Creation Records, la stessa che li lanciò nel lontano 1984.

By far the most pervasive and long-lived was the revival of psychedelia, that kept recurring throughout the Eighties and the Nineties. Los Angeles had its own movement, the "Paisley Underground". Psychedelia became merely a pretext to concoct baroque, oneiric and hypnotic sounds, often with the help of keyboards and strings. Byrds-ian jangling guitars and naive melodies a` la Hollies dominate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (feb/mar - oct 1983) by Rain Parade (1), with Matt Piucci on vocals and Dave Roback on guitar, as well as the EP Baroque Hoedown (fall 1982 - dec 1982) and the album Sixteen Tambourines (? 1983 - oct 1983) by Mike Quercio's Three O'Clock (1). Needless to say, the Paisley Underground was only the tip of the iceberg. The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers.

These fruity extracts, glycerin, Red 40s and outside agents provide you -- for a fleeting moment -- the taste of something that isn't actually there. Still, you can feel it melting on your tongue. It tastes real. A significant subsection of our contemporary pop music sphere is fittingly known affectionately as "bubblegum," mimicking the illusion of artificial taste made into a distinct, gummy sound. Candy is a staple in pop music, from The Strangeloves' 1965 hit "I Want Candy" to the unforgettable chorus "I'm craving for you / I'm missing you like candy" of Mandy Moore's 1999 smash hit "Candy." Glistening hooks and earworm choruses about the perils of love are infectious, even toxic.

  • Artist's Statement
    Artist’s Statement Eloise Coveny A practice-led researcher of critical theory, Eloise’s artistic practice combines the uses of documentary mediums that record image and sound to explore ontologies and poetics of time. These temporal nuances emerge from uncanny forces that she seeks to activate as she produces, collects and curates artefacts – in the form of objects, images and sounds – to compose spatial allegories. These installations work to speak across tensions at play to kindle personal narratives that in turn deconstruct “official” narratives of history. Here Eloise draws on technology and the literary/art works of Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Mariana Castillo Deball and Patrick Keiller. The theme ‘Rise and Fall’ reflects those transitional spaces throughout Glasgow city that are sites of construction, destruction, decay or stasis. These artworks aim to privilege voices that have been lost through official histories and the oppressive course of history for the working class. Walter Benjamin’s text Destructive Character presents us with a series of traits belonging to the essential destroyer of things, and thus a restorer of open space allowing new paths to form that lead us through the rubble. The destructive character sees nothing permanent. But for this very reason he/she sees ways everywhere. Where others encounter walls or mountains, there, too, he/she sees a way.

Why did you decide to release it on Creation? PK: Various reasons - I knew Alan McGee and Dick Green at Creation because Felt were signed to the label (this was just before I started playing with their group Biff Bang Pow!), and they were the coolest record label around at the time and put out the best records. I just took in a demo I had recorded at home and played it to them on the office answer phone, and they both liked it and agreed to book me a weekend at Alaska Studios in Waterloo (where the Jesus And Mary Chain had recorded their debut single 'Upside Down') to record it. John Mohan from the Servants (and later Felt) played guitar on it, and producer Neil Scott (who played guitar with Everything But The Girl, Felt and Denim and whose lodger I was at the time in Fulham) found the drummer Owen Seymour. We also used Emily Brown from the Hangman's Beautiful Daughters on backing vocals. It turned out amazingly well. There's a lightness of touch to the recording that was almost impossible to replicate live. We recorded it in the summer of 1987, and it ended up coming out in 1988 as there was no real hurry to release it as 1/6 it wasn't as if anyone knew who we were.

  • The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”--Lauryn Hill (1998) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Paula Mejia (Guest Post)*
    “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”--Lauryn Hill (1998) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Paula Mejia (guest post)* Original album cover Original label Lauryn Hill When Lauryn Hill released her solo debut album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” on August 25, 1998, both fans and critics were taken aback. That was intentional. “It's supposed to throw people off,” the vocalist and MC explained on the heels of its release. “It's not anything that my teachers should take offense to, because it's not really about me being miseducated. It's more about me finding myself.” While writing “Miseducation,” Hill reckoned with heartbreak, the public dissolution of her group, the Fugees, and ruminated on life as a new mother. She distilled those struggle into a gripping collection of songs, and it was through her tenacity and this landmark statement that a generation also found themselves. “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” broke the record for best- selling debut week for a female artist within a week, garnered ten Grammy nominations (five of which she took home), and propelled Hill to international superstardom. It’s Hill’s only solo record, to date. And with it, she provided a seismic social and psychic shift in hip-hop. Hill already commanded a central presence on the world stage in the 1990s, along with Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, as a founding member of the hip-hop trio The Fugees. The group’s multi- platinum album, “The Score,” is a high watermark of hip-hop that both helped shape this era and transcended it.
