Fund-raiser daiice^ leaves mess in gym ByLORENEISLER StaffWrlter The chair of the physical education department sakl he is considering banning aU dances from the nuiin gym because it was left in poor condition following last week's "Dance for Diabetes." "We can't have dances in the building if this is the result," Dr. Sam Winningham said Wednesday, adding that he believes as a general policy that dances belong in the University Student Union. Winningham said there were broken chairs, empty whiskey bottles and half filled glasses of alcohol inskle many physical education classrooms and the gym, even though akx)hol was not permitted at the dance and the classrooms were not officially open for use by the group. The dance, sponsored by the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, raised between S3,S(X) to $4,(X)0 for the Amer^an Diabetes Association. Approximately I SOO people at­ tended, Joe Silverman, dance organizer, said. "The question is whether there was proper supervision" for the dance, Winningham said, referring to the security which was the fraternity's responsibility. The fraternity used campus polwe and 10 ZBT members to supervise the event, Silverman said. He said he "got permission to use a couple of rooms Winningham didn't know about" from one of the buikiing supervisors. Any akx>hol on the premises belonged to the band and celebrities highlighted at the dance, he added. While Winningham said there were several empty whiskey bottles scattered in classrooms, Silverman said he had "very strong doubts there was afi abundance of whiskey bottles." / All of the alcohol was backstage(and the security people were aware of it, Silverman said. Campus Police Lt. Marc Hissong said "there was plenty of evidence of bottles in the parking area" Saturday morning, including whiskey and beer bottles. Silverman said the custodial staff hired to clean up after the event did not clean one of the classrooms, which he said might have been part of the problem. However, the gym was "spotless" after the dance, he said. Richard WiUiams, assistant dean of student ac­ tivities, said the fraternity had agreed to pay $ 150 for cleaning charges prior to the dance.The fraternity "ac­ tually made a good faith effort" to keep ak:ohol out of the dance, WiUiams said. No charges will be brought against ZBT because there were so many people present it would be difficult to place the blame for alcoholic beverages on the sponsors, he said.

  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • ARTS V- Entertainment
    ARTS V- entertainment Titian Schlummernde Venus” (1510) Erotica? Pornography? Who Sees What? rt and the erotic and/or pornographic image have maintained a long and in­ cestuous alliance. Indeed, perhaps the first known work of sculpture recovered, the Paleolithic “ Venus of Wildendorf” reflects in a size somewhat larger than a person’s thumb a avoluptuous fem ale form radiating with sexual potency. The representation of woman as sexual goddess has continued to preoccupy virtually every cultural epoch. Our own age is no ex­ ception. In fact, images of women in a sexual context have become so alarmingly com­ monplace that one is coerced into endorsing it. And that is precisely why the accelerated ex­ ploitation of these images through the media is so insidious. A naked woman lying suggestively upon a bed is a scene celebrated and culturally legitamatized by Titian, Rembrandt, Goya, Watteau, Manet and just about every other greater or lesser talent that has applied paint to a surface. This particular kind of image has become so ingrained in us that we accept and even pay homage to it as part of our history. In both a high and low art form people of both sexes continue to help foster and encourage it. The men who buy Playboy and the women who buy Cosmopolitan are, in truth, purchasing one and the same image. In fact, we have become so saturated with these images that they tend to cancel one another out, leaving us benumbed to their subtle manipulation. This is commonplace, a fam iliar aspect of everyday life.

  • Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene
    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

  • The Music Plays On: Check out Some Tunes That’Ll Ease You Into Phase 2
    The Music Plays On: Check out some tunes that’ll ease you into phase 2 Here we are, once again. I won’t pile on to the hundreds of commercials that begin with “In these times of uncertainty,” and offer some vague message of togetherness. Suffice to say I hope everybody is staying safe and sane. U.G.L.Y — Goons Live Young U.G.L.Y: This Providence band ain’t got no alibi, but they do have a pretty kick-ass debut record. Like a manic movie montage, Goons Live Young brings together the frantic pop-punk energy of the Vandals with the glamour of Panic at the Disco. They manage to put their own spin on the music of the early- aughts rock, and the results are impressive. This album sounds like a major label quality recording, plenty heavy but goes down smooth like a crisp pilsner. “Space Heater” is the most obvious single, with an addictive hook and a George Costanza sample. “Regret Juice” nimbly takes on the perils of addiction (“Red wine’s not gonna drown your demons/it’s just gonna water them down/one day you’ll be the one to drown”). It’s clear that U.G.L.Y have their chops together; there’s excellent drumming and wiry riffs, as well as the occasional off-time, stuttering rhythm, showing a slight math rock influence. Their Bandcamp page had no info regarding the names of the reclusive band members, though I did no follow-up research, preferring to assume the drummer is named “J.D.

  • R. E. M. "Second Records Are a Time of Reckoning for Every Band," Admits R.E.M
    R. E. M. "Second records are a time of reckoning for every band," admits R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, "And we wanted to face up to that." And, with their aptly-titled second album, Reckoning, R.E.M. had plenty to face up to. Their 1983 debut LP, Murmur, racked up more accolades than most bands garner in a career: Murmur: Album of the Year, Rolling Stone Critics' Poll Murmur: Debut Album of 1983, Record Magazine Critics' Poll Murmur: No. 2 Album of the Year, Village Voice Annual Pazz & Jop Poll R.E.M.: Best New Artist of 1983, Rolling Stone Critics' Poll Such extravagant praise is nothing new for R.E.M. Their 1982 Chronic Town EP and independent single, "Radio Free Europe" b/w "Sitting Still," also were consistent Top 10 choices in their respective years. But each new release from the band has heightened both expectation and achievement, making 1984 the true year of Reckoning. Consequently the band worked hard to avoid simply recycling proven formulas of their past successes. Instead, they took a turn in a new direction. "Quite often a second album sounds like an inferior rehash of the first, but Reckoning represents a real departure from Murmur," Buck explains. "We didn't want it to be the same type of production. Reckoning is less of a mood record, more of a song record." As with R.E.M.'s previous releases, all ten tracks on Reckoning are group compositions, with Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry taking primary care of the music, and vocalist Michael Stipe carrying the weight of the words.
