Spuyten Duyvil’S Social Music Hour Vol. 1,Album Of Album Of The Week: Yoko & The Oh No’s The Chicago garage rock scene just got a jolt of soul and bravado. The heart of rock ‘n’ roll has always kept it cool, but it just skipped a beat with Yoko & The Oh No’s and their stellar self-titled debut. Due out on October 30 off of Los Angeles label Autumn Tone, there’s something really special about this killer trio from The Windy City. Trashy glam that struts with each track, beauty in simplicity is all over this one. Once this bad boy is released, I guarantee every DJ will be spinnin’ Yoko & The Oh No’s at their next gig. A bunch of kids who are fresh out of high school tap into a vibe rarely duplicated. Vocalist Max Goldstein really lets it all hang out with sly and sexy lyrics, and Max Loebman’s thrilling skills on guitars and Stef Roti holding it all down on drums make for some show stoppin’ tracks. For bass, well, who needs bass when you know how to rock? Few things are as refreshing as teenagers down to unleash their fury. Harnessing the power of rock ‘n’ roll gives all the old fogies hope for the future while spitting in the face of anyone who refers to the genre as dead. Let’s bring it back to life, shall we? Resurrect your music taste with my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. You know an album is good when the first track immediately grabs you. “She Knows It” is a shout-out to all those ladies who know they got it going on and ain’t afraid to show it. Goldstein wails like a beast on this one. The igniter on the dance floor for sure is “She Ain’t Mine.” Loebman and Roti got the rhythms on point with the chorus tingling your spine. Roti kicks things off gracefully on “In Pieces,” another track that shows Goldstein’s impeccable voice that absolutely slays. This trio’s next show is happening at Martyrs’ in Chicago with King Washington from Los Angeles and fellow locals The Ivory’s on October 29. All the peeps in the know better go because it sounds like Yoko & The Oh No’s live are a pretty damn good time. The day after the show, go and get these kids’ debut album. The rock ‘n’ roll generation is alive and well, and Yoko & The Oh No’s are unbridled proof.

Since its literal Dutch translation is “spouting devil” I’d guess it’s not a sleepy little watering hole. So it’s only appropriate that this heavy Americana roots band shares its name, because there is truly nothing sleepy about New York-based Spuyten Duyvil. Led by the singer-songwriting power-couple Beth Jamie Kaufman and Mark Miller, the sextet Spuyten Duyvil (pronounced “SPITE-en DIE+vul” for those playing along at home) are hard to describe in a few words. Their musical stew contains elements of traditional folk, Celtic, electric blues, rootsy Americana and spirituals, all done with an energetic modern sensibility that catapults their uniquely authentic vibe straight into the 21st century. Espousing the teachings of their musical pedagogues Mississippi John Hurt, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and others who they credit in the liner notes of their latest CD, Social Music Hour Vol.1, Spuyten Duyvil takes what was old and makes it new again. The album begins with the slithering “Keep Your Skillet Good and Greasy.” Ten seconds into the bluesy, churning track and you can almost smell what Spuyten Duyvil are cooking, and man is it good. Though lyrically based on a old Woody Guthrie song, the band’s strongest assets are on full display and shine throughout, courtesy of gin-soaked vocals, droning slide guitar and a dark punctuating blues harp. “Hot Time In The Old Town” sharply veers off the devil’s road and spontaneously sets up an old time revival meeting, complete with a knee-slapping double-time rhythm that would make Bill Maher a believer! Their spiritual reworking of this turn-of-the-century ragtime number spotlights the duel vocals of Kaufman and Miller, the latter employing a slight Louis Armstrong affectation, which unarguably works for this track. On “Oh, Babe, It Ain’t No Lie,” Spuyten Duyvil takes the Elizabeth Cotton folk-blues number, famously covered by The Grateful Dead, and incorporates an updated electric and quite plugged-in approach, somewhat reminiscent of how The Band might have tackled it under the tutelage of Robbie Robertson. Demonstrating yet another facet of Spuyten Duyvil is the whimsical old-timey “Fishing Blues.” First recorded in 1928 by blues guitarist Henry Thomas, Spuyten stay faithful to the original while injecting a playfulness that the original most certainly lacked. Social Music Hour Vol.1 ends with the uncharacteristically funky groove-laden “Stewball.” Though not to be confused with the Peter Paul & Mary song of the same name, both are based on the famed award- winning racehorse. The band once again proves that they are not merely one trick ponies (pun intended), but rather can seamlessly switch musical styles with much ease and dexterity. Luckily for fans of music that defines the American experience, Spuyten Duyvil have been garnering ample airplay across the globe, on satellite and terrestrial radio alike. Their backbreaking tour schedule finds them traversing the country, performing everywhere from small clubs, to Citi Field (a.k.a., Shea Stadium), and all points in between. Their live show has been described as “throwing a cherry bomb into a lake…it wakes you up!” But based solely on what I heard on The Social Music Hour Vol.1, Spuyten Duyvil are that rare breed of band that can cover songs written long before their grandparents were born, and reinterpret them so that an audience will swear on a stack of Rolling Stones that they are new. And in essence, isn’t that really what the folk music tradition has always been about? Album Of The Week: Coke Weed’s Mary Weaver Psychedelic music can be amazingly groovy in many ways. It can also have a laid back tone with a clash of sounds to keep things interesting. An excellent example of this is Bar Harbor, Maine, act Coke Weed and their upcoming album Mary Weaver that’s due out on October 9. It’s mellow and funky, but it’s also pretty grounded, walking an interesting line where the quintet keeps on bringing creativity to the forefront without being pretentious. New England is a spoiled region when it comes to kickass music, and Coke Weed shows they’re one of the many reasons why with their upcoming release. You got these surf vibes, a Bowie-esque weirdness and echoing guitars that give Coke Weed a unique coolness that sets them apart from a lot of their contemporaries. A righteous amount of feedback and reverb with each strum along with subtle rhythmic beats gives a dose of relaxation. Even if you like it fast and loud, you’ll come to appreciate the soothing sounds that Mary Weaver has with each track. Think of the album as a musical body of water, it’s just waiting for you to take a dive and bask in everything it offers. When’s the last time you heard of any music coming out of a place like Bar Harbor? It’s known more as a popular tourist destination than a birthplace of bands. It’s kind of what makes a band like Coke Weed that much more refreshing. Speaking of refreshing, here are my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week: With a bit of fuzz and drone, “Honky Tonk Man” is the darkest track on the album with borderline shoegaze distortion that’s bound to put you in a trance. Reminiscent of The Velvet Underground, “Street Secrets” has little hints of groovy funk and ’60s pop to make for a wonderful song that you have to plug into. It’s rare when a track lives up to it’s title, but “The Chill” is laid back as hell with the lyrics talking about being fooled and alienated. Coke Weed’s next show will be at the Elvis Guesthouse in New York City on October 1h as part of the Beyond Beyond is Beyond Official CMJ Showcase with fellow label mates Heaters, Ancient Ocean, Annique Monet and Sam Kogon. If you happen to be reading this and you’re heading to CMJ as part of your college radio station, grab a copy of Mary Weaver at the show and play it on your radio show. It’ll give the airwaves that certain je ne sais quoi. Album Of The Week: Heaters’ Holy Water Pool Michigan is known musically for bringing the fuzz, being incredibly innovative and always unleashing badass rock ‘n’ roll. You have an extensive history of bands like The Stooges, The MC5, The White Stripes & The Suicide Machines giving substance to Michigan’s reputation of being a bastion for highly amplified tunes. A band on the rise from Grand Rapids that can put you in a psychedelic trance, Heaters has a new album coming out on September 25, Holy Water Pool, that’s going to enlighten your soul.

  • An Analysis of Social Media Marketing in the Classical Music Industry
    #CLASSICAL: AN ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING IN THE CLASSICAL MUSIC INDUSTRY Ms Annabelle Angela Lan Lee Royal Holloway, University of London (2017) A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) Page 1 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 2 of 299 Declaration of Authorship I Annabelle Angela Lan Lee hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 28 April 2017 Page 3 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 4 of 299 Abstract With the re-emergence of social media in the 2000s and the increased worldwide usage of mobile devices, the impact of social media still cannot be ignored. From corporate businesses to popular culture, social media are now used in many sectors of society. Not least among these is the classical music industry. Artists and organisations have keenly capitalised on social media in the face of increasing budgetary reductions in the arts and long-held elitist perceptions of classical music. In addition, the classical music business has used social media to profit from economic growth, audiences, and public profiles, and to market accessibility, relevance, and value to a wider audience, notably, younger demographics and non-attenders. As a result, the classical music scene tries to engender technological determinism and digital optimism, ideologies reflecting discourses around Web 2.0/social media. Simultaneously, a so-called ‘digital divide’ is at risk. Various factors, for example, socioeconomic strata, greatly influence how classical music is marketed and branded on social media networks, however, they are barriers to access and enjoyment of the art, online and offline.

  • The Gentleman Dancing-Master. by WILLIAM WYCHERLEY "Non Satis Est Risu Diducere Rictum Auditorus: Et Est Quædam Tamen
    The Gentleman Dancing-Master. BY WILLIAM WYCHERLEY "Non satis est risu diducere rictum Auditorus: et est quædam tamen his quoque virtus."[51]--HORAT. If we may trust the author's statement to Pope, this admirable comedy was written when Wycherley was twenty-one years of age, in the year 1661-2. It is impossible to fix with certainty the date of its first performance. The Duke's Company, then under the management of the widow of Sir William Davenant, opened its new theatre in Dorset Gardens, near Salisbury Court, on the 9th of November, 1671, with a performance of Dryden's Sir Martin Mar-all, and Wycherley's "Prologue to the City" points to the production of his play in the new theatre shortly after its opening. Genest states, on the authority of Downes, that "The Gentleman Dancing-Master was the third new play acted at this theatre, and that several of the old stock plays were acted between each of the new ones." Sir Martin Mar-all, having been three times performed, was succeeded by Etherege's Love in a Tub, which, after two representations, gave place to a new piece, Crowne's tragedy of Charles the Eighth. This was played six times in succession, and was followed, probably after an interval devoted to stock pieces, by a second novelty, an adaptation by Ravenscroft from Molière, entitled The Citizen turn'd Gentleman, or Mamamouchi, which ran for nine days together. The Gentleman Dancing-Master was then acted, probably after another short interval, and must therefore have been produced either in December, 1671, or in January, 1672.

  • S Bill Bartholomew,Album of the Week
    Interview with High On Fire’s Matt Pike Photo Credit: Travis Shinn Tonight at The Met in Pawtucket, local metalheads Churchburn and New Orleans instrumental hellions Mountain Of Wizard will be opening up one hell of a show with Oakland, Calif., sludgeheads High On Fire. Before this evening’s festivities I got to have a chat with frontman Matt Pike about the reuniting of his old band Sleep; the rebirth of sludge, stoner and thrash metal bands; the genre’s credibility; performing without a shirt on and many other things. Rob Duguay: Along with being part of High On Fire, you’re the guitarist of the influential metal band Sleep. Eleven years after Sleep broke up in ’98, the band got back together and Sleep resumed performing live. Does managing your time ever get difficult when playing in both bands? Matt Pike: Oh Jesus, yeah. It’s now getting easier to deal with, but at first it was a nightmare. Playing in Sleep is only part time where being in High On Fire is a full-time thing, but it does get a little difficult when it comes to managing my time. I’ve had trouble with being at home because I’m never home. But that’s part of the business. RD: I can imagine that when Sleep got back together it must have taken you a little while to fall into a type of routine without destroying yourself. MP: It can get pretty hectic and it does take a lot out of me. RD: Lately in metal there’s been a huge boom in sludge, stoner and thrash metal bands.

  • Nine Reasons to Make You Fall in Love with House
    Nine Reasons To Make You Fall In Love With House Musik | Bittles‘ Magazine There is a strong electronic element to this month’s album review round-up. I make no apologies for this considering there are such fine releases as ›Reality Testing‹ by Lone, ›Vaudeville‹ by Inigo Kennedy and ›Code‹ by Answer Code Request in amongst an absolute bumper crop of fantastic groove-based releases. So without further ado, let’s begin. By JOHN BITTLES First up, we have the pretty damn excellent ›Reality Testing‹, the new album by unassuming media darling Lone. Previous long-players ›Galaxy Garden‹ and ›Emerald‹ ›Fantasy Tracks‹ were sublime in their mixture of, among other things ambient, house, techno and rave. ›Reality Testing‹ arrives on the nation’s shelves on the 16th of June and seduces the listener instantly with its gleeful experimentation and overt positivism while still managing to sound like no-one else but Lone. There is a noticeable Chicago house and Detroit techno vibe at work on the record that combines beautifully with his usual scattergun approach to create something very tasty indeed. ›Restless City‹ funks on all cylinders, ›Meeker Warm Energy‹ glows with a summery IDM sheen, while lead single ›Airglow Fires‹ still sounds better than anything else on God’s earth. Even my cat loves this album. And there really is no better recommendation than that! One of the very first things you notice with every single ›Comeme‹ release, is how they always sound as if the artists involved had an absolute blast creating them. So it is with the rather fabulous ›Silver Album‹, by Berlin-based Muscovite Philipp Gorbachev.
