Read our exclusive report of the animated MC's unmasking. This morning, Flying Lotus released the Elijah Wood-featuring music video for pensive Until the Quiet Comes track “Tiny Tortures.” It’s rad and recasts the Wilfred star as a recent amputee who uses his mind to craft a new, Akira -style cybernetic arm — but that news has been overshadowed by a different story. The villainous cartoon cat is out of the bag. On November 15, the enigmatic animated rapper known as Captain Murphy dropped a 35-minute short film-as-mixtape dubbed Duality , and we reported everything that was known about the bearded bad guy. Everything except his identity.

  • SURFING for PUNKS: the INTERNET and the PUNK SUBCULTURE in NEW JERSEY by AARON ROBERT FURGASON a Dissertation Submitted To
    SURFING FOR PUNKS: THE INTERNET AND THE PUNK SUBCULTURE IN NEW JERSEY by AARON ROBERT FURGASON A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies written under the direction of Professor Linda Steiner And approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION SURFING FOR PUNKS: THE INTERNET AND THE PUNK SUBCULTURE IN NEW JERSEY BY AARON ROBERT FURGASON Dissertation Director Professor Linda Steiner This study examines the influence of the Internet on the punk subculture in New Jersey. Previous research by academics on the effect of the Internet on popular music has centered on the impact of Napster and peer-to-peer networks on the distribution of recordings (Alexander, 2002; Ayres & Williams, 2004; Bishop, 2004; Daniel & Klimis, 1999; Fox, 2004; Mardesich, 1999; & Oberholzer & Strumpf, 2004). However, unexamined is the influence of the Internet on a specific music subculture, punk. This is important because the subculture is occupied mainly by youth engaged with both the Internet and punk music. The Internet's influence on the punk subculture is a particularly important area of study because the Internet alters how participants in the subculture (punk fans, bands and independent labels) communicate with one another, as well as changes the distribution of punk artifacts and information. ii Central to this study is the history of the major labels' dominance over the distribution and promotion of punk music, a domination examined via critical political economy theory.

  • Wednesday 15 June 2016, London This August BFI Southbank Will Host
    Wednesday 15 June 2016, London This August BFI Southbank will host Don Letts Presents: Punk on Film, a season of films curated by the film director, DJ and musician Don Letts. The season will bring together a broad range of documentary, archive footage and feature films that draw attention to the diversity of the punk movement, how it has been depicted on film, and its huge influence on filmmakers past and present. Films being screened during the season will include Don Letts' Grammy award-winning doc The Clash: Westway to the World (2000), Jubilee (Derek Jarman, 1978) and Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (Mike Lerner, Maxim Pozdorovkin 2013). The season will include a World Punk Day on Sunday 7 August, featuring screenings of Afro Punk (2003) which follows black punks in the USA, Taqwacore: The Birth of Punk Islam (2009) about the birth of the Muslim punk scene, and Punk in Africa (2012) which explores the spread of punk across that continent. The BFI Mediatheque, located in BFI Southbank and free to use, will feature a new set of material from the BFI National Archive for audiences to explore; the Anarchy in the UK collection will feature footage of seminal punk bands including The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Stranglers. This season offers audiences an exciting chance to see punk’s depiction and influence on film – from the politics of searing documentaries, to race and identity in punk scenes around the globe; from the DIY punk- ethos of radical filmmakers, to the feminist trailblazers and fashion icons who continue to inspire.

  • Politics As Unusual: Washington, D.C
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: POLITICS AS UNUSUAL: WASHINGTON, D.C. HARDCORE PUNK 1979-1983 AND THE POLITICS OF SOUND Shayna L Maskell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Nancy Struna, Chair, Department of American Studies During the creative and influential years between 1979 and 1983, hardcore punk was not only born — a mutated sonic stepchild of rock n’ roll, British and American punk — but also evolved into a uncompromising and resounding paradigm of and for DC youth. Through the revelatory music of DC hardcore bands like Bad Brains, Teen Idles, Minor Threat, State of Alert, Government Issue and Faith a new formulation of sound, and a new articulation of youth, arose: one that was angry, loud, fast, and minimalistic. With a total of only ten albums between all five bands in a mere five years, DC hardcore cemented a small yet significant subculture and scene. This project considers two major components of this music: aesthetics and the social politics that stem from those aesthetics. By examining the way music communicates — facets like timbre, melody, rhythm, pitch, volume and dissonance — while simultaneously incorporating an analysis of hardcore’s social context — including the history of music’s cultural canons, as well as the specific socioeconomic, racial and gendered milieu in which music is generated, communicated and responded to —this dissertation attempts to understand how hardcore punk conveys messages of social and cultural politics, expressly representations of race, class and gender. In doing so, this project looks at how DC hardcore (re)contextualizes and (re)imagines the social and political meanings created by and from sound.

Bradman raged on, deadly riots erupted around the country, and thousands of youth flocked to Photos by Haight-Ashbury for the Summer of Love, the Temptations prepared to release an album Jason Gould they weren’t exactly sure about. They were already stars, but this new LP was aimed at a whole new audience, and they were nervous about losing their integrity and the fans they already had. They needn’t have worried. In a Mellow Mood, a collection of strings-drenched standards chosen for maximum crossover appeal, turned out to be a hit with both black and white record buyers. For one particular six-year-old in southeast Washington, DC, in fact, it planted a seed that would one day grow into a giant tree with surprisingly far-reaching limbs. CS DARRYL JENIFER LUCIAN PERKINS LUCIAN Four and a half decades later, Darryl Jenifer still remembers Few could have predicted what came next. Jenifer married how James Jamerson’s bass lines on Copacabana-ready classics his love of complex fusion with a knack for aggressive English like “Hello Young Lovers,” “Ol’ Man River,” and a pre-Stevie punk, perfecting a scorching style that blended Stanley-inspired Wonder version of “For Once In My Life” opened his ears and double-stops, riffs that recalled Black Sabbath, and a precise set him on a path toward a once-in-a-lifetime crossover of his intensity that was several notches above his contemporaries.
