    NIEUWE RELEASES KLIK OP DE HOES VOOR DE SINGLE (mits beschikbaar) LEONARD COHEN – You Want It Darker CD/LP 'You Want It Darker', een paar weken geleden werd deze titeltrack vrijgegeven online en ik was meteen verkocht. Ik vond de vorige plaat 'Populair Problems' al fantastisch maar 'You Want It Darker' overtreft het op alle vlakken. Donkere plaat met veel verwijzingen naar de dood bijvoorbeeld wat op zich niet vreemd is gezien zijn leeftijd (82). Prachtig en ontroerend meesterwerk van deze levende legende! Het wordt druk boven in de top tien albums van het jaar.... KENSINGTON – Control CD/LP ‘Control’ is het nieuwe album van Kensington, het Utrechtse viertal dat zich de afgelopen jaren heeft ontwikkeld tot één van de grootste bands van het land. Niet alleen door het succesvolle album ‘Rivals’ maar ook door hun live reputatie waarmee ze de festival- en live podia (én maar liefst 4x in onze winkel!) hebben veroverd. Eerste single van het album ‘Control’ is ‘Do I Ever’. Het album is gelimiteerd verkrijgbaar als cd digipack inclusief een 20 pagina booklet én op vinyl (eerste oplage is genummerd en gekleurd vinyl). KORN – Serenity of Suffering CD/CD-Deluxe/LP/LP-Deluxe 'Serenity of Suffering' is het 12e studio album van de nu-metal band Korn. Volgens gitarist Brian Welch is deze plaat een stuk zwaarder en steviger dan dat iemand in een lange tijd heeft gehoord. Het album is de opvolger van 'The Paradigm Shift' uit 2013 en werd geproduceerd door Grammy-award winnende producer Nick Raskulinecsz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon). Op de deluxe versie staan twee extra tracks.

  • Transforming Wikipedia Into a Large-Scale Fine-Grained Entity Type Corpus
    Transforming Wikipedia into a Large-Scale Fine-Grained Entity Type Corpus Abbas Ghaddar, Philippe Langlais RALI-DIRO Montreal, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper presents WiFiNE, an English corpus annotated with fine-grained entity types. We propose simple but effective heuristics we applied to English Wikipedia to build a large, high quality, annotated corpus. We evaluate the impact of our corpus on the fine-grained entity typing system of Shimaoka et al. (2017), with 2 manually annotated benchmarks, FIGER (GOLD) and ONTONOTES. We report state-of-the-art performances, with a gain of 0.8 micro F1 score on the former dataset and a gain of 2.7 macro F1 score on the latter one, despite the fact that we employ the same quantity of training data used in previous works. We make our corpus available as a resource for future works. Keywords: Annotated Corpus, Fine-Grained Entity Type, Wikipedia 1.

  • The Fiery Furnaces: Gallowsbird Bark Seth Kim-Cohen Rough Trade
    The Fiery Furnaces: Gallowsbird Bark Seth Kim-Cohen Rough Trade An unpublished review of the Fiery Furnaces debut, 2003. ¤ ¤¤ Maybe Pierre Bourdieu is right. Maybe the “field of cultural production” is nothing but a game board and each producer, promoter, buyer and seller is a piece on the board. We each fulfill our roles. The board doesn’t change much over time. Nor do the relative roles of the pieces. The game always needs someone at the top and someone at the bottom, but it also needs someone filling the various roles in between. If Bourdieu is right, we might see the Fiery Furnaces as the contemporary occupiers of the space once held by Joseph Byrd’s the United States of America. In 1968 the United States of America grated against the outer extremities of rock music, integrating sources as diverse as 19th century folk forms, Sousa-esque brass arrangements and experimental analog electronics (Gordon Marron is credited with playing ring modulator) into an au courant blend of pastoral psychedelia, blues, and proto-acid guitar leads. With their debut, Gallowsbird’s Bark, the Fiery Furnaces chafe against the current state of the art, interpolating 19th century folk forms, dada lyrics, and splice and dice arrangements into an au courant mix of earnest sonics, postmodern cool and post-acid guitar leads. So there we have it: neatly bundled and tied in a fancy French bow. 1 But Bourdieu’s system fails to account for a few alternatives to this neat bundle. The Fiery Furnaces are Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger: brother and sister (like the White Stripes?), duo (like the White Stripes, the Kills, and Quasi), and from New York City (like you name it).

  • US Apple LP Releases
    Apple by the Numbers U.S. album releases From the collection of Andre Gardner of NY, NY SWBO‐101 The Beatles The Beatles Released: 22 Nov. 1968 (nicknamed "The White Album") In stark contrast to the cover to Sgt. Pepper's LHCB, the cover to this two record set was plain white, with writing only on the spine and in the upper right hand corner of the back cover (indicating that the album was in stereo). This was the first Beatles US album release which was not available in mono. The mono mix, available in the UK, Australia, and several other countries, sounds quite different from the stereo mix. The album title was embossed on the front cover. Inserts included a poster and four glossy pictures (one of each Beatle). The pictures were smaller in size than those issued with the UK album. A tissue paper separator was placed between the pictures and the record. Finally, as in every EMI country, the albums were numbered. In the USA, approximately 3,200,000 copies of the album were numbered. These albums were numbered at the different Capitol factories, and there are differences in the precise nature of the stamping used on the covers. Allegedly, twelve copies with east‐coast covers were made that number "A 0000001".

  • CAP UCLA Presents 'Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films'
    Media Alert Contact: Jessica Wolf 310.825.7789 [email protected] CAP UCLA Presents ‘Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films’ at Royce Hall Fri, Oct. 24 Rare footage meets compositions performed live by Tom Verlaine, Martin Rev, Dean Wareham, Eleanor Friedberger and Bradford Cox Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA presents the west coast exclusive performance of “Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films” Friday, October 24 at 8 p.m. in Royce Hall. The sound- plus-celluloid stage experience celebrates the 20th Anniversary of The Andy Warhol Museum and features new compositions performed live by Tom Verlaine, Martin Rev, Dean Wareham, Eleanor Friedberger and Bradford Cox. Tickets ($19-$59) are now available cap.ucla.edu, Ticketmaster or the UCLA Central Ticket Office (310.825.2101). “Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films” was co-commissioned by The Andy Warhol Museum, CAP UCLA and BAM for the 2014 Next Wave Festival. “Exposed” is comprised of 15 short Warhol films, never before publically exhibited, accompanied by live music. The films chosen are a combination of portraits and actualités featuring superstars and luminaries such as Taylor Mead, Mary Woronov, Edie Sedgwick, Mario Montez, John Giorno, Marcel Duchamp, Marisol, Donovan, and Andy Warhol himself. This project honors the unwavering relevancy of the art and life of Andy Warhol by re-contextualizing his work in ways that resonate in contemporary culture. Five songwriter-composers representing a musical trajectory from the 1970s until today perform original scores to these rare Warhol selections. The composers and performers, selected by guest musical curator Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna), who also performs, include punk icons Tom Verlaine (Television) and Martin Rev (Suicide), Eleanor Friedberger (The Fiery Furnaces), and Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound).
