Lambchop - Damaged: an Evening with the Dafo String Quartet and Hands Off Cuba 2006-08-22 17:43 CEST Lambchop - Damaged: An evening with The Dafo String Quartet and Hands Off Cuba 13.10 Stockholm - Södra Teatern 14.10 Göteborg - Trädgår'n Kurt Wagner har med sitt kollektiv Lambchop under åren, skiva för skiva, förfinat sitt sound. Musikjournalister vill gärna placera dem i facket alt-country, men då gör man det lite för lätt för sig, för Lambchop spelar...ja, Lambchop - nedtonad, varm countrysoul. Wagner har nu på åtta album utvecklat ett vackert och grandiost uttryck som närmar sig populärmusikens undergenrer, men aldrig uppslukas av dem. Och Damaged, klassiker som Nixon och Is a Woman till trots, är nog Lambchops allra största stund. Det är en mörk, stillsam resa som man som lyssnare tas med på. Skivan är den mest personliga hittills där Wagner, efter en tids svår sjukdom, vänder sig in i sitt eget inre och den melankoli som döljer sig där. På sitt typiska och fascinerande sätt och med bräcklig röst beskriver han vardagen, alltid med den svarta humorn inom räckhåll. Det sägs att det är en eller två personer i världen som skulle kunna sjunga telefonkatalogen och få det att låta hjärtknipande. Men det är bara ett fåtal som gjort ett försök. Tom Waits har kanske hittills kommit närmast med sin Emotional Weather Report, men Wagner visar på Damaged att han är värdigt epitet med inledande spåret Paperback Bible, inspirerad av radioprogrammet Swap Show, där lyssnare försöker sälja eller köpa saker i sändning, vilket i sanning är ett djärvt drag, som Lambchop grejar med sedvanlig grace och elegans. Wagner sjunger att han vill find a 27 inch color TV / Has to be non working / An RCA cause I need the parts. Eller i I Would Have Waited Here All Day, där kvinnan som ser sin man komma ut ur duschen påminns om glöden som tidigare fanns mellan dem: You're dripping wet from a midday shower / Soon you'll be drying off your dick / I want to be romantic about it / But there's really not much more to it, två av otaliga bevis på hans fantastiska känsla för att hitta den svårgripbara poesin i den grå vardagen, som så många strävar efter att lyckas med. Med på turnén har Lambchop elektroniska duon Hands Off Cuba, som de samarbetade med på EP:n CoLAB och som även finns med på Damaged, samt polska stråkkvartetten The Dafo String Quartet. Allt är upplagt för två makalösa konserter i oktober. Damaged är stora känslor med små bokstäver och är på sina ställen helt makalöst vacker. (Expressen) Musikaliskt är det en genuin höstbrasa att värma sig vid. (DN) www.lambchop.net BILJETTINFORMATION: Stockholm: Biljetterna kostar 250:- + förköpsavgift och släpps 23/8.

  • Women Singer-Songwriters As Exemplary Actors: the Music of Rape and Domestic Violence
    Women Singer-Songwriters as Exemplary Actors: The Music of Rape and Domestic Violence KATHANNE W. GREENE At the 2016 Oscars, Lady Gaga, joined onstage by fifty rape survivors, performed the song “Til It Happens to You.” The Oscar-nominated song by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren was written for The Hunting Ground, a documentary film about campus sexual assault. Over thirty-one million people viewed the Oscar performance, which brought some in the audience to tears, and the video on Vevo has received over twenty-nine million views with another twenty-eight million views on YouTube. The film, video, and performance are the result of a growing political and social movement by young high school and college women to force schools, universities, and colleges to vigorously respond to rape and sexual harassment on campus. In response to complaints filed by more and more young women, the Obama Administration and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in the Department Education began investigating claims that schools, colleges, and universities were not actively and adequately responding to claims of sexual assault and harassment despite passage of the Clery Act of 1990. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to report data on crime on campus, provide support and accommodations to survivors, and establish written policies and procedures for the handling of campus crime.1 Since 2011, the OCR has expanded its efforts to address sexual assault on campuses as violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination

  • 1 a Conversation with Robert Fisher of Willard Grant
    A Conversation with Robert Fisher of Willard Grant Conspiracy by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 5/2004) A publicist friend of mine drew me aside in cyberspace one day and told me about someone that I needed to cover. I think it was his polite way of saying that I might not be acquainted with this person’s music, but that I ought to be. Of course he was right, as he tends to be in these matters. I was aware that there was a legend of sorts attached to the band called Willard Grant Conspiracy, but only that. It centers around Robert Fisher, the only current founding member of a revolving cast of characters spread the four corners of the globe. WGC has had over thirty members, in fact. (Robert says something like, “If anyone says that they play with us, they probably do…”) It’s set up so that people can contribute when that works in their life, coming in and out as circumstances allow. The band itself is originally from the Boston area. Fisher spent several decades there, and he and longtime cohort Paul Austin recorded four CDs, three put out by Rykodisc, that have become cult favorites: 3 a.m. at Fortune Otto’s (1996), Flying Low (1998), Mojave (1999) and Everything’s Fine (2000). The new album, Regard the End, is on the Kimchee label. It’s a beautiful folk Gothic kind of work, serious material joyfully rendered. After it was completed, Robert moved back to the home of his youth, the Palmdale/Lancaster area of southern CA, where both Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart grew up.

  • KURT WAGNER of LAMBCHOP Interview Although the Band Had
    KURT WAGNER of LAMBCHOP Interview Although the band had been together in one permutation or another for a time before the event, it really is ten years since Lambchop released its debut album. Time waits for no lamb. With that collection of beautiful, twisted songs, this strange, double-strange, many-legged Nashville outfit went a long way to ensure that the average discerning listener could never view the genre known as ‘country’ in the same way again. In either I Hope You’re Sitting Down (sleeve) or Jack’s Tulips (spine), we were presented with country music seemingly from some parallel dimension, where everything is kinda blurred and opaque. But, though country is just how Lambchop had somehow ended up largely sounding, there has always been so much more to the experience than that. As is, say, Tindersticks, this is a soul band, a rock band, a jazz band, a lounge band and a punk band. In a short, a band that just follows instincts and one that has freely explored any genre it saw fit, charting new territory with old maps. Lambchop’s has been an unforced, meandering and gentle evolution to this point, where they can be called nothing but an endlessly entertaining, thrilling, heartbreaking and hilarious, great band - way, way beyond Nashville, yet still holding its greater traditions dear. Considering that decade and that ten years is a traditionally convenient block of time over which to take stock or reminisce, there appears a neat synchronicity with that record and the recorded offerings of Lambchop 2004. Whereas that first album seemed to bear two titles, the band has progressed to such a position of critical comfort and respectable sales that it can be afforded the privilege of releasing two albums that, in Awcmon and Noyoucmon almost bear the same title! A tenuous-to-pointless observation, perhaps, but there you go.

  • Learning, Teaching, Leading: a Patchwork of Stories from a Non
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Wilkins-O'RileyZinn for the degree of Doctor of Educationin Education presented on April 5, 2004. Title: Learninq Teachinq Leadinq A Patchwork of Stories froma Non-Traditional Life. Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. ,-- . Betty Duvall This autoethnographic research explores learning,teaching, and leading from the perspective ofan adult woman who is both a non- traditional student and a non-traditional workerin the academy. Because she returned to school at theage of forty to earn a bachelor's degree, and is currently an associate professor ofeducation following more than twenty years of work in the private sector withan additional seven as a high school teacher, she focuses thispersonal exploration on academia, seeking to better understand her place inan evolving educational culture in which she is both insider and outsider, learner andteacher. By providing insight into her learningprocesses and products, she also provides opportunities for readers to reflecton the ways in which they learn as well as to better understand learner diversity. In the process of articulating theways in which she learns and linking them to her passion for teaching,the author began to formulate a theory, Home.Makers of the Academy: TheValuing-and Devaluing-of Teaching, that proposes a connection between thehistorical role of the homemaker in the American family and the academichomesmaking evidenced in caring, connective teaching. This developingtheory is illustrated through pages that alsorepresent her learning processes which she calls connectivity, or the linking of disparatesources to create new meaning. Connectivity is also used by the authorto refer to the intertwining of activities within a life of creative integrationwhere multiple facets of a person's life interconnect rather thancompete.

In other words, reasoning is used when you infer one claim on the basis of another. For example, if you see a great deal of snow falling from the sky outside your bedroom window one morning, you can reasonably conclude that it’s probably cold outside. Or, if you see a man smiling broadly, you can reasonably conclude that he is at least somewhat happy.
