The Month of May's #Hamildrop Has Arrived THE MONTH OF MAY’S #HAMILDROP HAS ARRIVED LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA PRESENTS THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE HAMILDROP SERIES, “HELPLESS” BY THE REGRETTES Download/Stream HERE Watch New Companion Visual HERE Download hi-res artwork here May 31, 2018 (Los Angeles, CA.) -- LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA has returned to introduce the newest installment of his Hamildrop series, “Helpless” starring Warner Bros. Records recording artists, The Regrettes. Download/stream the newest addition to the series here. “Helpless” was produced by Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Gary Clark Jr, Mastodon) and recorded at Cam Am Studios in Los Angeles. The beloved L.A.-based band has teamed up with the Hamilton creator to produce another magical collaboration just in time for the summer. “I love love love Hamilton! I spent weeks after seeing it constantly listening to the soundtrack and ‘Helpless’ was the song that really stood out to me. When I found out we were going to do Hamildrops, I knew we had to record ‘Helpless’,” says The Regrettes frontwoman Lydia Night. Click here to view and share the video for “Helpless” The Regrettes are on tour now, including stops at this year’s top festivals such as Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Firefly Music Festival, Readings & Leeds, and most recently, Coachella this past April. If you’ve yet to catch them live, brace yourselves to witness the future of feminist, modern, melodic rock that blends brains, attitude with an authentic style and a razor-sharp lyrical perspective: “Their music sounds like a lively blend of lo-fi surf rock meets The Strokes with a strong female lead—a combination sought by many but well executed by few.” –Vogue “Their sound is reminiscent of punk acts that made waves decades prior, but Night’s insight offers listeners a fresh, in-the-moment resurgence of feminist angst.” -- Nylon Confirmed Tour Dates: *Supporting Cold War Kids June 02 New York, NY Governors Ball Music Festival June 03 Brooklyn, NY Knitting Factory June 05 Philadelphia, PA Everybody Hits June 06 Washington, DC Black Cat Backstage June 07 Carrboro, NC Cat’s Cradle June 09 Manchester, TN Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival June 10 Atlanta, GA Masquerade June 11 Charlotte, NC Neighborhood Theatre June 13 Columbus, OH Newport Music Hall* June 14 Richmond, VA The National* June 15 Dover, DE Firefly Music Festival June 16 Millvale, PA The Funhouse at Mr. Small’s June 17 Baltimore, MD Rams Head Live!* June 19 St. Louis, MO Off Broadway June 20 Lawrence, KS The Bottleneck June 22 Dallas, TX Dirty 30 June 23 Austin, TX Stubbs Jr. June 25 Phoenix, AZ Rebel Lounge June 28 Santa Ana, CA Constellation Room at the Observatory June 29 Los Angeles, CA Teragram Ballroom June 30 San Diego, CA Che Café Aug 05 Chicago, IL Lollapalooza Aug 11 San Diego, CA 91X’s X-Fest Aug 24-26 Reading + Leeds, UK Reading & Leeds Festival Aug 29 San Francisco, CA The Chapel Aug 30 Santa Cruz The Catalyst Atrium Aug 31- Sep 02 Seattle, WA Bumbershoot 2018 Sep 01 Portland, OR Holocene Since the end of last year, Miranda has been introducing new Hamilton related content every month. “Ben Franklin’s Song” with The Decemberists which was released in December served as our introduction to the series. Then came “Wrote My Out” starring Nas, Dave East, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Aloe Blacc in January with a remix shortly after, followed by “The Hamilton Polka” by “Weird Al” Yankovic in February. In March, it was the March For Our Lives inspired theatre mashup, “Found/Tonight” by Miranda and Ben Platt which they went on to perform live at the March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C. Released in April, “First Burn” serves as the latest Hamildrop. SOME REQUIRED READING ON THE HAMILTON MIXTAPE & NEW HAMILTON MUSIC: December 2016 we released The Hamilton Mixtape. It was the culmination of so many dreams come true. Every artist, every interpretation represented the original impulse I had for this story, even before this thing was a musical. I know I promised you a Hamilton Mixtape Vol. 2, but nothing’s gonna match those songs in that order, beautifully sequenced by J.Period, at that moment in December 2016. ALL THAT BEING SAID… I STILL HAVE ALL THIS DOPE NEW SH*T TO SHARE WITH YOU. So, we begin THE HAMILDROPS. We’re dropping some new Hamilton content, every month, through December 2018. Something new, every month.

  • Genelec Mike Elizondo PR
    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Clyne Media, Inc. Tel: (615) 662-1616 Fax: (615) 662-1636 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GRAMMY®-Winning Producer and Songwriter Mike Elizondo Chooses Genelec W371A Smart Active Woofer Systems and 8361A Smart Active Monitors™ for His New Studio Space Near Nashville NATICK, MA, September 21, 2020 — Mike Elizondo is among music’s most versatile talents, with credits ranging from 50 Cent, Eminem and Mary J. Blige to Carrie Underwood, Twenty One Pilots, Ry Cooder, Fiona Apple and beyond. He credits his versatility in part to his history as a bass player: “Being a bassist first, I think, gave me an advantage in my work. It trained my ears in a particular way, to hear the big picture, support the ensemble, listen to the drums and singer, and when to trim the fat, so to speak. And I think it also got me thinking in terms across genres, whether it’s jazz, rock, R&B, or something else. Not every producer is an instrumentalist first, but for me I think it’s shaped the way I approach this work, and it’s led to some great projects and successes in my career.” Recently his path led to a relocation from L.A. (where he was based for over 15 years) to Gallatin, TN – just north of Nashville, where he now lives and works in a 5000-square-foot state-of-the-art studio. And a key component of his new setup is his pair of W371A Smart Active Woofer Systems and 8361A Smart Active Monitors™ from Genelec, which he sourced through Vintage King in Nashville.

  • Metaphors of Love in 1946–2016 Billboard Year-End Number-One Songs
    Text&Talk 2021; 41(4): 469–491 Salvador Climent* and Marta Coll-Florit All you need is love: metaphors of love in 1946–2016 Billboard year-end number-one songs https://doi.org/10.1515/text-2019-0209 Received June 25, 2019; accepted September 19, 2020; published online October 26, 2020 Abstract: This study examines the use of metaphors, metonymies and meta- phorical similes for love in a corpus of 52 year-end number one hit songs in the USA from 1946 to 2016 according to Billboard charts. The analysis is performed within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and from quantitative and quali- tative perspectives. Our findings indicate that the theme of romantic love is prevalent in US mainstream pop music over the course of seven decades but shows evolutionary features. Metaphors of love evolve from conventional to novel with a notable increase in both heartbreak and erotic metaphors. Remarkably, the study finds that the two predominant conceptualizations of love in pop songs – which in a significant number of cases overlap – are the following: experiential, originating in the physical proximity of the lovers, and cultural, reflecting possession by one lover and showing a non-egalitarian type of love. Keywords: Conceptual Metaphor Theory; corpus linguistics; metaphor; pop music; romantic love 1 Introduction The central theme of a large number of pop songs is some facet of romantic love. Starr and Waterman (2003: 105–110, 199–200) noted this to be already the case in the Tin Pan Alley era in the USA of the 1920s and 1930s and the trend continued through the 1940s and 1950s, when the entertainment industry grew exponen- tially: “total annual record sales in the United States rose from $191 million in 1951 to $514 million in 1959” (Starr and Waterman 2003: 252).

  • The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S
    June 23, 2020 Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House 1236 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Honorable Kevin McCarthy Republican Leader 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Since the killing of George Floyd just one month ago, our country has seen protests grow, attitudes shift, and calls for change intensify. We in the music and entertainment communities believe that Black lives matter and have long decried the injustices endured by generations of Black citizens. We are more determined than ever to push for federal, state, and local law enforcement programs that truly serve their communities. Accordingly, we are grateful for movement of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S. House of Representatives and urge its quick passage. The Justice in Policing Act is not about marginal change; it takes bold steps that will make a real, positive difference for law enforcement and the communities they serve. We celebrate the long- overdue rejection of qualified immunity, emphasizing that law enforcement officers themselves are not above the law – that bad cops must be held accountable and victims must have recourse. We applaud the provisions to ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, to establish a national police misconduct registry, to collect data and improve investigations into police misconduct, to promote de-escalation practices, to establish comprehensive training programs, and to update and enhance standards and practices. This legislation will not only promote justice; it will establish a culture of responsibility, fairness, and respect deserving of the badge. Our communities and nation look to you to take a stand in this extraordinary moment and we respectfully ask that you vote YES on the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.
