The unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. Out 2 September in the UK and 19 October in the US. Pre-order the book now. ‘Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idol’s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.’ Nick Cave. On 1 July 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance, fated to be one of her last in Britain. After the show, in a state of transcendent awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage and took Simone’s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and placed it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with Ellis for twenty years – a sacred totem, his creative muse – until 2019, when Nick Cave, his collaborator and great friend, asked him if he had anything he could contribute to Cave’s Stranger Than Kindness exhibition . Together they agreed that the gum should be housed in a glass case, as though a holy relic. Fearing it would be damaged or lost, Ellis had it cast in silver and gold, sparking a chain of events that no one could have predicted, transporting him back to his childhood and his relationship to found objects. Nina Simone’s Gum reveals how something seemingly insignificant and disposable can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we bestow on objects and experiences, and how these things can become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of the artistic process and the incomparable power of the art born from it – of friendship, understanding and love.

More from: Warren Ellis. Nick Cave & Warren Ellis West of Memphis. All formats sold out - sorry! This album features Cave and Ellis’ score for a documentary about the West Memphis Three; three guys who fought to overturn their convictions for the murder of three boys in 1993 after spending eighteen years on death row. With this in mind I was expecting a harrowing trawl through the depths of despair and injustice, yet what we actually get is a series of vivid, melancholic miniatures. The duo’s experience penning soundtracks is especially apparent, with the deceptive simplicity and lightness of touch to the sparsely arranged pieces exuding quiet confidence. The sound palette is fairly consistent throughout; the spare piano and plaintive violin interplay familiar from their work on The Road is joined by some gloriously moody synths and atmospheric loops. For me, the synths and loops provide the essential solvent, making this is a far more satisfying listen than any of their other soundtracks. On some tracks they manage to convey an epic sense of space or suggest a deep well of darkness with apparently the most basic of elements. A most enjoyable listen then, and one that I can imagine appealing to fans of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Harold Budd as well as The Bad Seeds and Dirty Three. >>Wiederentdeckt: „Black Summer“ von Warren Ellis & Juan José Ryp. Manchmal gibt es Romane, Comics, Filme oder Musik, die in der Zeit ihrer Entstehung durchs Raster fallen. Die veröffentlicht werden und dann einfach – verschwinden. Verschwinden, oder unverdienterweise vergessen werden. Manchmal lohnt sich aber ein zweiter Blick. Vor gut zehn Jahren brachte der britische Comic-Gott und Science-Fiction-Crack Warren Ellis , dem wir Meisterwerke wie „Transmetropolitan“, „Planetary“, „The Authority“, „Fell“ und „Trees“ verdanken, eine wahre Flut an neuen Panel-Werken beim US-Verlag Avatar Press heraus, der Heimat von Garth Ennis’ erbarmungslosem postapokalyptischen „Crossed“-Universum und Alan Moores anspruchsvoller Lovecraft-Huldigung „Providence“. Einer der damaligen Ellis-Titel, der die Zeit trotz seiner engen Beziehung zur amerikanischen Politik der Ära George W. Bush bemerkenswert gut überstanden hat, ist „ Black Summer “. Die acht Einzelhefte, die der Spanier Juan José Ryp zeichnete, wurden im Englischen in einem dicken Sammelband zusammengetragen, den man durchaus mal wieder hervorkramen kann. Schließlich beginnt „Black Summer“ mit John Horus, dem mächtigsten und bekanntesten amerikanischen Superhelden, der den US-Präsidenten im Oval Office umbringt, weil Horus den fragwürdigen Anführer der freien Welt für einen Kriminellen hält und faire Neuwahlen möchte, die sein Land in eine bessere, gerechtere Zukunft führen.

The authors thank James Moody, Jill Ann Harrison, Matthew Norton, Brandon Stewart, Achim Edelmann, Clare Rosenfeld Evans, Jordan Besek, and Brian Ott for their helpful comments on earlier drafts of this paper. Managing the Boundaries of Taste: Culture, Valuation, and Computational Social Science Abstract The proliferation of cultural objects, such as music, books, film and websites, has created a new problem: How do consumers determine the value of cultural objects in an age of information glut? Crowd-sourcing – paralleling word-of-mouth recommendations – has taken center stage, yet expert opinion has also assumed renewed importance. Prior work on the valuation of artworks and other cultural artifacts identifies ways critics establish and maintain classificatory boundaries, such as genre. We extend this research by offering a theoretical approach emphasizing the dynamics of critics’ valuation and classification. Empirically, this analysis turns to Pitchfork.com, an influential music review website, to examine the relationship between classification and valuation. Using topic models of fourteen years of Pitchfork.com album reviews (n=14,495), we model the dynamics of valuation through genre and additional factors predictive of positive reviews and cultural consecration. We use gold record awards to study the relationship between valuation processes and commercial outcomes.

  • Cultural Representations of the Moors Murderers and Yorkshire Ripper Cases
    CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MOORS MURDERERS AND YORKSHIRE RIPPER CASES by HENRIETTA PHILLIPA ANNE MALION PHILLIPS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History, and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis examines written, audio-visual and musical representations of real-life British serial killers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady (the ‘Moors Murderers’) and Peter Sutcliffe (the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’), from the time of their crimes to the present day, and their proliferation beyond the cases’ immediate historical-legal context. Through the theoretical construct ‘Northientalism’ I interrogate such representations’ replication and engagement of stereotypes and anxieties accruing to the figure of the white working- class ‘Northern’ subject in these cases, within a broader context of pre-existing historical trajectories and generic conventions of Northern and true crime representation. Interrogating changing perceptions of the cultural functions and meanings of murderers in late-capitalist socio-cultural history, I argue that the underlying structure of true crime is the counterbalance between the exceptional and the everyday, in service of which its second crucial structuring technique – the depiction of physical detail – operates.

  • Kid Congo Powers Double Record Release Party
    KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY Tonic, March 3, 2006 Kid Congo Powers is celebrating the release of two albums on March 3, 2006 at Tonic. The first, Solo Cholo, is a career-spanning compilation focusing on the legendary guitarist’s work as a vocalist and songwriter from 1985 to the present. The second, Philosophy and Underwear, is the debut recording of his current New York band, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds - in which Kid not only sings, but also plays blistering dual guitars with ace Jack Martin (Knoxville Girls, Honeymoon Killers, etc.). After twenty-five years in the recording business (The Cramps’ Psychedelic Jungle was 1981), these two albums are the first full-length recordings that focus on Kid’s songs. The event also marks New York Night Train (www.newyorknighttrain.com) webzine’s debut as a record label. For this momentous occasion Kid has gathered an all-star cast of collaborators, friends, and favorites that will amount to one of the most unusual assemblages of underground figures in downtown history. The headliner is of course Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. The Birds will also back up Thalia Zedek (ex-Come, Live Skull, Uzi, etc.) on a few Gun Club numbers (Zedek is the vocalist who reminds Kid most of Jeffrey Lee Pierce). Another highlight of the evening is the reunion of the original New York version of Congo Norvell – Kid, Sally Norvell (actress, ex-Norvells, Prohibition, etc.), Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Vanity Set, ex-Sonic Youth, Cramps, etc.), Paul Wallfisch (Botanica, ex-Firewater, Love and Rockets, etc.), and Brian Emrich (film composer, ex-Foetus, Toasters, etc.).
