    Guts Of Darkness Le webzine des musiques sombres et expérimentales : rock, jazz, progressif, metal, electro, hardcore... février 2009 Vous pouvez retrouvez nos chroniques et nos articles sur www.gutsofdarkness.com © 2000 - 2009 Un sommaire de ce document est disponible à la fin. Page 2/208 Les chroniques Page 3/208 D.A.F. (DEUTSCH AMERIKANISHE FREUNDSCHAFT) : Gold Und Liebe Chronique réalisée par Raven Il n’a pas aussi bonne presse que Alles Ist Gut celui-ci. On peut légitimement se demander pourquoi : sorti la même année, formule identique. Il est même plus puissant que le premier. Un peu plus kitsch, sans doute, plus putassier (écoutez moi ce "Ich Will"), mais il y’a une agressivité et un côté sulfureux encore plus prononcés ici, peut être accentués par les rythmes de Robert, plus rapides, plus appuyés, plus variés (tribaux, militaires, disco), meilleurs que sur le premier - j’en veux pour preuve ce "Verschwende Deine Jugend" tuméfiant et technoïde (on se demande si ce truc est vraiment sorti en 81), ou ce "Sex Unter Wasser» bien vulgaire avec ses synthés ronflants, et "El Que", cette espèce de batucada EBM avec une voix d’hôtesse, extra, vraiment. Pour le reste comme je le disais la formule est rigoureusement la même : Gabi fait toujours sa chaudasse, et nous envoie aux esgourdes des jumeaux tubesques de "Der Mussolini" ("Liebe Auf Den Ersten Blick", "Greif Nach Den Sternen"), et la petite ballade neuneu et kitschounette ("Goldenes Spielzeug") qui prend le relai de "Der Rauber Und Der Prinz". Bref je m’étendrai pas plus : Gold Und Liebe est aussi indispensable que Alles Ist Gut, son seul défaut est d’être sorti après, mais quelques mois après hein, pour moi c’est comme un double album en fait, l’un ne va pas sans l’autre (comme les deux premiers Nitzer Ebb, ou Bud Spencer et Terence Hill), et puis il contient quand même quelques-uns des meilleurs hits de DAF, alors bon, hein, bon, ça serait bête de faire comme si il existait pas..

  • Women in Jamaican Dancehall
    WOMEN IN JAMAICAN DANCEHALL: Rethinking Jamaican Dancehall through a Women-Centered Informal Economy Approach. by Leslie-Ann Fullerton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Social Justice Education Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2017 © Copyright by Leslie-Ann Fullerton 2017 WOMEN IN JAMAICAN DANCEHALL: Rethinking Jamaican Dancehall through a Women-Centered Informal Economy Approach Leslie-Ann Fullerton Master of Arts, Social Justice Education Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Some academic discussions that address women who participate in Jamaican Dancehall have taken the position that these women lack morality and agency and have internalized sexist norms (Lake 1996). This is because of the overtly sexual nature of the cultural expression. This research project aimed to expand the conversation concerning these women by investigating how female dancehall dancers, models and auxiliaries (designers, beauticians and vendors) make a living from Dancehall's informal economy. Through empirical evidence, this research will suggest that women who participate in Jamaican dancehall have subjectively and economically benefited from the informal economy that is embedded in dancehall. ii Acknowledgments This research could not have come to fruition without the help of many amazing souls. Firstly, let me acknowledge St. Catherine Cooperate Credit Union for giving me my first job as a Client Care Representative. I would also like to thank them for not renewing my contract after three years, which gave me the freedom to earn a living while doing what I loved. Freedom from working at the Credit Union gave me the opportunity to work as a dancehall model.

  • Down in Jamaica – 40 Years of VP Records Making Of
    Down In Jamaica – 40 Years Of VP Records Making of the box set By Carter Van Pelt If you’ve ever been digging for records in a sizable US city, chances are you’re familiar with VP Records. Whether it’s the 12-inch singles in their concentric diamond pattern sleeves or the ubiquitous Strictly The Best, Riddim Driven, and Reggae Gold compilation albums, the company has handled some serious reggae and dancehall tonnage in its 40-plus years. Few if any reggae or dancehall DJs of the past four decades would walk without vinyl or CDs from VP. After a brief stint in Brooklyn in 1977-78, VP (named for the company’s Chinese-Jamaican founders Vincent and Patricia Chin) settled in Jamaica, Queens and extended a 20-year Jamaican legacy that had begun as Randy’s Records in Kingston in 1958. The company moved into its flagship retail store at 170-21 Jamaica Avenue in 1980, a location previously occupied by Raymar Sales, the oldest ‘one stop’ in the country, dating to the 1930s. Last year, I was hired as VP’s Director of Catalog Development and tasked with compiling a 40 th anniversary box set. Even as an active Discogs user since roughly 2013, I didn’t realize how helpful the platform would be as I tried to vet a 40-year legacy that now encompasses 25,000 recordings. I wanted to consider anything and everything that could have helped define the company during a 40-year period. While my starting point was Strictly The Best, a compilation series that dated to 1990 and reaches 60 volumes with the next edition, I was interested in looking at the company in terms of the singles it manufactured at or near the time of initial release, versus tracks licensed for a compilation.
