    Johnny Marr till Sverige! 2018-04-06 10:21 CEST THE SMITHS-IKONEN JOHNNY MARR TILL NALEN FÖR INTIM KONSERT! Legendariska Smiths-gitarristen Johnny Marr släpper nya albumet "Call the Comet" den 15 juni - och innan det, den 18 maj, kommer Marr till Nalen i Stockholm för en intim konsert i en ikonisk lokal. Från att ha skrivit låtar och uppträtt med ett av rockhistoriens viktigaste band - till en framgångsrik solokarriär. Johnny Marr är ett unikum. Och snart får vi se den levande legenden på Nalens scen i Stockholm! Nya albumet "Call the Comet" spelades in i Marrs Crazy Face Studios i Manchester. Det är hans tredje soloalbum, efter hans hyllade topp-10 album "The Messenger" (2013) och "Playland" (2014). Johnny Marr beskriver själv nya albumet: "Call The Comet’ is my own magic realism. It’s set in the not-too-distant future and is mostly concerned with the idea of an alternative society. The characters in the songs are searching for a new idealism, although there are some personal songs in there too. It’s something that people like me can relate to.” Den 15 juni släpps albumet - och den 18 maj kommer Johnny Marr till Nalen i Stockholm! Redan nu går det att registrera sig för Ticketmasters Verified Fan presale, som startar 18 april. Länk till registreringen hittas HÄR! Datum 18/5 - Nalen, Stockholm Pressbiljetter & fotopass Ansökan om köp av pressbiljett skickas till [email protected].

  • Gord Downie: Ahead by a Century
    Gord Downie: Ahead by a Century Gord Downie, musician, singer, songwriter, environmentalist and native rights activist, left his mark on generations of Canadians. His lyrics for The Tragically Hip, quirky and clever as they are, have become a part of the Canadian soundtrack. Songs such as Blow at High Dough , Courage , Wheat Kings and Bobcaygeon , are now sung at campfires and hockey games, but also analyzed for PhD papers. Their songs explored Canadian geography and history, the themes of the water and the land, creating a sense of pride of place, but also referenced Canadian authors (Hugh MacLennan, for one) and the work of William Shakespeare. Taking pride in their Canadian roots (at a time when it was not cool in music), touring the nation relentlessly in the early days, and consistently evolving, over 13 studio albums and through four decades, the Hip maintained a distinct sound and a strong position in the hearts of English Canada. In the wake of an untreatable brain cancer diagnosis in 2016, Downey chose to go on the road with the Hip, to engage with fans, to conduct a national celebration. Fans raised money for cancer charities. The Tragically Hip’s final concert, held in their hometown of Kingston, ON, on August 20, 2016, was broadcast nationally and viewed in parks across Canada, hitting record viewer numbers of over 11 million. Downie chose to use his final days to highlight causes close to his heart. Secret Path: The Story of Chanie Wenjack , highlighted the legacy of the residential school system and its impact on First Nations.

  • INVITED to the FEAST?: PROBLEMS of HOSPITALITY, COLONIALITY and IDENTITY in the MUSIC CLASSROOM. ELEANOR M. JOHNSTON a Dissertat
    INVITED TO THE FEAST?: PROBLEMS OF HOSPITALITY, COLONIALITY AND IDENTITY IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM. ELEANOR M. JOHNSTON A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Education York University Toronto, Ontario July 2020 © Eleanor M. Johnston, 2020 i Abstract This study sought to understand the complicated interactions of student, teacher, curriculum and curricular objects in one junior music classroom in Ontario. This work was taken up under Derrida’s call for cities of refuge in On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness while mindful of the ways in which colonial structures can appear cosmopolitan, as in the trope of music as universal language. It explored how changing the music that was studied might affect their perception of their own and others’ belonging in the music room. This in turn, asks us to consider how curricular choices affect behavior, engagement and success in our students. Through ethnographically informed methods including interviews and observations, surveys and a curricular intervention using global pop music, student and teacher attitudes and engagement with diverse musics and cultures were examined. Three major themes emerged in the analysis; complex and conflicted identities in students who believed much of their tastes and selves did not belong at school, a rapid fluidity in musical taste, and the omnipresent shadow of a Western cultural framework of music curriculum, academic success, and schooling behavior and expectations. Several pedagogical and curricular implications were explored, including engaging students through academic approaches to music, student belonging and hospitality practices, and the difficulties of reception of multicultural approaches within the school.
