Dolly Parton Won't Retire 36 MONDAY, JULY 28, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Lana Del Rey still gets stage fright ana Del Rey still gets stage fright. While the 29-year-old Lsinger struggled terribly with the affliction at the start of her career, she believes she is getting better but sometimes still feels like she’s not sure if she can perform. Speaking about Cat Power, who has been open about her own struggle with stage fright and still plays through it, Lana told Rolling Stone: “That’s why I really liked Cat Power, because I felt like I really understood her. “She was a person who really meant a lot to me, just knowing that it was okay to start your performance with your back to the audience, at first, if you really couldn’t face it. I mean, a lot of the time I just really felt like, ‘I’m not really sure if I can do it.’ But I mean, I’ve gotten better.” While Lana’s latest album ‘Ultraviolence’ has won widespread praise, she admitted producer Dan Auerbach found her quite tough to work with. She said: “I would explain things to him in terms of colours and touchstone words. My word for the record was ‘fire,’ you know, blue fire, when a flame gets so hot it goes from red to blue. And I told him I Manic Street Preachersplan ‘big’ album wanted everything to sound like it was in the key of blue. And I think at first he was like, really? anic Street Preachers want to raise the scales to an enormous level.” The Mmake “the biggest rock record ‘Walk Me to the Bridge’ hitmakers are very ever”. The Welsh trio have just happy with their new album even though released their 12th album, ‘Futurology’, they think their intentions with the record which has been one of the most well- were “ludicrous”.

It has that intent though, it’s Terrorists’, but bigger. “That’s a long way off. got the post-punk jaggedness of ‘The Holy In Love ‘perfect fit’ But I think we know that’s what’s left; to Bible’, but it merges that with the retro- for 50 Shades oots says Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ was the perfect Bfit for the ‘50 Shades Of Grey’ trailer. The producer - who created the trailer’s soundtrack - chose to rework the singer’s hi-tempo anthem into a slower, more sultry tune and says it was the best choice for the S&M movie. He told Complex.com: “It just fits. I like to think of myself as more than just a producer. I look at what we did for the trailer and this version of the song is, very much in my opinion, a score. “It was something that I consciously scored. Whenever it comes to the stuff that Bey and I do, I’ll never speak for her, but I think that she killed it. She just absolutely killed it. The acapellas that she did gives me chills, so it’s really dope.” Boots also believes Beyonce’s song is the perfect accompaniment to the raunchy movie which tells the story of how vir- ginal Anastasia Steele falls for bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey. He added: “I think falling in love can make you do crazy thing. That was the spirit of the original song in the first place, we flipped it and it kind of became a whole thing. This is the first time I’ve ever worked on a trailer.” Dolly Parton Weird Al Yankovic won’t retire needs Twitter break olly Parton will never retire.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

    LUNEDì 28 APRILE 2014 A soli nove mesi di distanza dall'acclamato Rewind The Film (top 5 nel Regno Unito), undicesimo album da studio della band, i Manic Street Preachers tornano con un nuovo disco, intitolato Futurology, in uscita l'8 Manic Street Preachers luglio 2014. Futurology, il nuovo album, in uscita l'8 luglio.

Uno stacco netto rispetto al disco precedente, ma sempre all'insegna di uno stile inconfondibile. LA REDAZIONE Il primo singolo estratto è "Walk Me To The Bridge", dalle chiare influenze europee. In una recente conversazione con John Doran di Quietus, Nicky Wire ha parlato del testo del brano, che ha cominciato a prendere forma qualche anno fa. "Qualcuno penserà che la canzone contenga tanti riferimenti a Richey Edwards, ma in realtà parla del ponte di Øresund che collega la Svezia alla Danimarca. Tanto tempo fa, quando [email protected] attraversavamo quel ponte, stavo perdendo entusiasmo per le cose e SPETTACOLINEWS.IT pensavo di lasciare la band (il "fatal friend"). 'Walk Me To The Bridge' parla dei ponti che ti consentono di vivere un'esperienza extracorporea quando lasci un luogo per raggiungerne un altro". Secondo James Dean Bradfield, il brano è "una canzone ideale per i viaggi in auto, dal sapore squisitamente europeo e carica di tensione emotiva, con sintetizzatori in stile primi Simple Minds e un assolo di chitarra Ebow alla 'Heroes'".

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
