Jane Marie McDermott San Francisco, California 2016 All the Time in the World is the story of gay young people coming to San Francisco in the 1970s and what happens to them in the course of thirty years. Additionally, the novel tells the stories of the people they meet along-the way - a lesbian mother, a World War II veteran, a drag queen - people who never considered that they even had a story to tell until they began to tell it. In the end, All the Time in the World documents a remarkable era in gay history and serves as a testament to the galvanizing effects of love and loss and the enduring power of friendship.

  • Foals Slipper Del 1 Av Nytt Album
    Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost 08-03-2019 13:00 CET Foals slipper del 1 av nytt album Fra å spille på kaotiske husfester i hjembyen Oxford til å bli et av de største navnene på festivaler på tvers av Europa, har Foals' reise vært bemerkelsesverdig. De har mottatt ros fra kritikere i form av priser og nominasjoner (NME og Q Awards, Mercury Prize BRITAwards) og en solid fanbase (solgt 1,7 millioner av deres fire gull-sertifiserte album, i tillegg til over en halv milliard strømminger på Spotify siden 2015) i lik grad. Og der majoriteten av deres likemenn har falt fra, fortsetter Foals å nå nye høyder. Etter over et tiår i bransjen, har Foals igjen omfavnet deres forkjærlighet for det ukonvensjonelle med det modigste og mest ambisiøse prosjektet så langt i karrieren; ikke bare ett, men to nye album: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost. Et par, separate, men relaterte, de deler tittel, tema og artwork. Part 1 er ute i dag, og Part 2 kommer til høsten. "De er to halvdeler av samme medaljong," forklarer frontfigur Yannis Philippakis. "De kan bli lyttet til og verdsatt hver for seg, men de er fundamentalt følgesvenner". Dypt forankret i hverandre, men i besittelse av egne personligheter, fanger de to delene den mest overbevisende og helhetlige kreasjonen som Foals - bestående av Jimmy Smith (gitar), Jack Bevan (trommer) og Edwin Congreave (piano) - noen gang har produsert. Ivrige på å bryte den tradisjonelle poplåt-strukturen, trosser de 20 låtene forventning. Det er utforskende, progressive låter som av og til går over 10 minutter, ved siden av atmosfæriske overganger som gjør musikken til en opplevelse framfor kun en samling av sanger.

  • Midnight Train to Georgia
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIII, Number 2 Spring 2014 “The Biggest Feminist in the World”: On Miley Cyrus, Feminism, and Intersectionality1 Alexandra Apolloni, UCLA On 14 November 2013 Miley Cyrus proclaimed her feminism to an unsuspecting world. “I feel like I’m one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women not to be scared of anything,” she said. “Girls are beau- tiful. Guys get to show their titties on the beach, why can’t we?”2 For a media-friendly soundbite, this quota- tion actually reveals a lot about a phenomenon that, for simplicity’s sake, I’m going to refer to as Miley feminism. Miley feminism is about fearless- ness: about being unafraid to make choices, to be yourself, to self-express. It’s about appropriating a masculine-coded kind of individual freedom: the freedom to not care, to show your titties on the beach, to party without con- sequences, to live the “can’t stop won’t stop” dream that Cyrus sang about in “We Can’t Stop,” the arresting pop anthem that was inescapable during the summer of 2013. This feminism is transgressive, up to a point: Miley imagines a kind of femininity that flagrantly rejects the rules of respect- ability and propriety that define normative notions of girlhood. Miley’s not the only one singing the song of this type of feminism: we could be talking about Ke$ha feminism—Ke$ha’s laissez-faire persona led Ann Powers to compare her to the screwball comediennes of yore—or draw a connection to Icona Pop and their brazen choruses proclaiming “I don’t care.”3 Cyrus’s performances, though, seem to have pushed buttons in ways that those of her peers haven’t.

At the opening of the tenth year in the era of man’s mobility in outer space, we can look back on 1966 as offering convincing evidence that the United States had gained great competence. This evidence included: five orbital space flights by ten Gemini astronauts; four lunar missions under- taking the orbiting of and softlanding on the moon; numerous contributions to scientific knowledge by unmanned spacecraft and sounding rockets; and further demonstrations of the practical utility of operational space systems, including weather and communications satellites. During 1966, a record 100 American spacecraft were placed into earth orbit or on escape trajectories. Thousands of revealing and useful pictures of the earth were taken from space and of the moon from lunar orbit and on its surface. The Gemini program ended with rendezvous and docking experiments and extravehicular activity by the Gemini test pilots as the Apollo R&D test flights leading to the manned lunar mission came into the schedule. Thirty-five major scientific, technological, and operational mile- stones were cited for 1966 by the President in his Report to the Congress on aeronautical and space activities of the United States.

  • Phoenix Rock in Austin City Limits Debut New Episode Airs October 12 on PBS Stations
    Phoenix Rock in Austin City Limits Debut New Episode Airs October 12 on PBS Stations Austin, TX—October 1, 2013—French band Phoenix make their Austin City Limits (ACL) debut in an epic, career-spanning full-hour episode that showcases their impeccably crafted rock. The brand new episode, part of ACL's just-launched Season 39, premieres October 12th. ACL airs weekly on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings for times) and full episodes are made available online at acltv.com immediately following the initial broadcast. “We are Phoenix from Paris, France,” announces frontman Thomas Mars as they open a stellar performance, although no introduction is necessary for the rapturous Austin crowd. French alternative rockers whose music resonates around the world, Phoenix kick-off with a blistering rendition of “Entertainment” from their latest release Bankrupt! The band segue into the massive hit “Lisztomania” off their 2009 breakthrough Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album. Called “one of the most influential post-millenial acts” by the NY Times, Phoenix earned headlining spots at 2013's Coachella and Lollapalooza festivals. As the group connects the dots of its decade-plus career in their ACL outing, they pair older tunes with newer material: “Too Young” from their 2000 debut is woven into a seamless melody with the more recent “Girlfriend.” The opening synth notes of the intro to their smash “1901” draws raves from the audience as Phoenix cap a glorious set, with Mars calling the ACL appearance “a pinnacle moment” for the band. “Phoenix has been on my hit list since they won their Best Alternative Album Grammy three years ago, but it’s been well worth the wait,” says ACL executive producer Terry Lickona.
