  • Elliott Smith Dead at  by Will Bryant
    Pitchfork | http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/03-10/22.shtml 22 October 2003 Elliott Smith Dead at by Will Bryant Elliott Smith has died at age , according to an obituary posted late Tuesday on Sweet Adeline, Smith’s official website. Rumors had been circulating on the Internet yesterday afternoon about Smith’s apparent suicide; by early evening, the overwhelm- ing traffic from well-wishers and fans was crashing Sweet Adeline’s discussion board. A handful of posts indicated that representatives from Smith’s label, Dreamworks, were attempting to contact Charlie Ramirez, the webmaster for Sweet Adeline. Within hours, Ramirez posted the following: “As you probably realize, I’m pretty devastated about having to say goodbye to Elliott. it’s never easy to put into words what someone means to you. Elliott was such a lovely man. I will always have his love, kindness, intelligence, humbleness, creativeness, greatness and so much more in me forever because that’s what he was and i’ll always love him for being who he was. I’ll miss you so much. We will all miss you. See you in heaven, Elliott.” Kill Rock Stars, who released Smith’s self-titled solo album and ’s Either/Or, changed their website’s splash page to a pensive photo of Smith this afternoon in silent tribute to the beloved songwriter. “We are deeply saddened by Elliott Smith’s tragic death and send our condolences to his friends and family,” read a statement released by Dreamworks and reported by Reuters’ wire service. “He was perhaps his generation’s most gifted songwriter.

  • A Brenda Changed My Life by JON BERGER Brenda Changed My Life, Once
    Issue 11 November 2003 BOOG CITY Free A Brenda Changed My Life BY JON BERGER Brenda changed my life, once. I was still living in my old college town, when Alex suggested that we see the “All A Strung Out” show at a nearby school. I had nothing better to do, so I agreed to see these three major label acts doing solo acoustic shows. First up was Brenda Kahn. ‘Mint Juleps and Needles,’ has the memorably slutty line, ‘You’re cracked, you’ve gone mad. It’s hopelessly sad, but I like you better than most of the men I’ve had.’ She was gorgeous, she was diminutive, she was a raven- haired Jew, and she approached the mic to say, “Is Chaz here? I was playing pool with Chaz before, and I told him to come to the show. Chaz, you out there?” Brenda Kahn was featured on this bill of Columbia acts with other important songwriters, playing at this prestigious school, Brenda Lee in concert and she was asking about some schnook she’d just met.

    FREE SLEATER-KINNEYS DIG ME OUT PDF Jovana Babovic | 152 pages | 19 May 2016 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781628929768 | English | New York, United States Sleater-Kinney : Dig Me Out – Treble Janet Weiss brought some serious talent with her when she joined Sleater-Kinney, but her suggestion to use The Kink Kontroversy as the template for the cover of Dig Me Out was a stroke of genius. As a self-admitted bass whore, I always listen for a tangible bottom in any genre, and until Sleater-Kinney, I always believed that rock without a bass player was an impossibility on the level of trying to fuck George Costanza after his post-dip-in-the-pool shrinkage. As Carrie Brownstein explained in her memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girlthe vocal stretch was facilitated by an unusual approach to guitar tuning, one that also served to firm up the bottom:. In Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out to Betsy, Corin had always tuned her guitar to her own voice. So it was completely arbitrary that when she plugged into a tuner one day in an attempt to coordinate our tuning, her guitar happened to be in C-sharp. We never thought to alter it. The tuning also forced Corin to sing differently—it pushed her into her higher registers, into a wailing, the outer edges. Brownstein, Carrie. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl pp. Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. All quotes below from the Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out. So—you have a stripped-down chord with one set of notes or a simple arpeggioa second guitar playing either made-up chords or arpeggiated notes and equally important a singer providing the Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out, all conspiring to create tension.

You love campus. You procrastinated. Never fear. Love, Providence College style by Frank Caliva ’04 and Lauren Wholley ’04 As Valentine’s Day creeps up on us like a thief in the night, the need to come up with the perfect date plan becomes increasingly necessary. Your friends have all made arrangements — a romantic dinner for two at Cappricio’s, a moonlit gondola ride on the Providence River, or maybe even a trip to Boston or some other exotic location. But you — who believes that Valentine’s Day is actually a conspiracy of the greeting card industry to pick up lackluster sales between Christmas and Easter — you decided to procrastinate, and now as crunch time fast approaches, you’re in desperate need of some good ideas. Once again. The Cowl has come to the rescue. We’ll make sure your honey will never know that you haven’t been planning this special day for months. We won’t tell — it’ll be our little secret. Flowers — With roses at a premium this time of year, you can expect to pay upwards of 60 bucks a dozen.
