  • Caro Emerald
    Cruise-lovers are in for a treat this New Year's Eve as P&O Cruises are set to host a spectacular live BBC Radio 2 outside broadcast in Madeira aboard Oceana with a performance from Dutch jazz singer Caro Emerald. The artist will be playing two CARO EMERALD sets of her best-loved songs in a first-ever live BBC performance on board a P&O Cruises ship. Caro Emerald will be introduced by presenter Ana Matronic who will be broadcasting live on Radio 2 from 11 pm. Caro Emerald has fashioned her own niche of retro jazz with sampling and modern pop since the release of her multi-platinum debut album, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Floor, in 2010, while Matronic is best known as the lead singer of Scissor Sisters, whose hits include I Don't Feel like Dancin' and 'Take Your Mama'. - burtonmail.co.uk In August 2010, Caro Emerald's debut album, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor, spent its 30th week at #1 in the Dutch album charts, setting an all-time record and beating Michael Jackson's "Thriller" by one week. The album became the biggest selling album of 2010 in the Netherlands with over 350.000 copies to date. Worldwide, over 1.4 million copies have been sold. On October 3, 2010, Emerald was awarded the Dutch music prize "Edison Award" for Best Female Artist. In May 2013, Caro's second album, The Shocking Miss Emerald, was released. It entered at #1 in the UK album chart. + + + + + Thanks to UncleBoko for sharing the show at Dime.

  • BUT WILL IT PLAY in GRAND RAPIDS? the ROLE of GATEKEEPERS in MUSIC SELECTION in 1960S TOP 40 RADIO
    BUT WILL IT PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS? THE ROLE OF GATEKEEPERS IN MUSIC SELECTION IN 1960s TOP 40 RADIO By Leonard A. O’Kelly A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Media and Information Studies - Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT BUT WILL IT PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS? THE ROLE OF GATEKEEPERS IN MUSIC SELECTION IN 1960s TOP 40 RADIO By Leonard A. O’Kelly The decision to play (or not to play) certain songs on the radio can have financial ramifications for performers and for radio stations alike in the form of ratings and revenue. This study considers the theory of gatekeeping at the individual level, paired with industry factors such as advertising, music industry promotion, and payola to explain how radio stations determined which songs to play. An analysis of playlists from large-market Top 40 radio stations and small-market stations within the larger stations’ coverage areas from the 1960s will determine the direction of spread of song titles and the time frame for the spread of music, shedding light on how radio program directors (gatekeepers) may have been influenced in their decisions. By comparing this data with national charts, it may also be possible to determine whether or not local stations had any influence over the national trend. The role of industry trade publications such as Billboard and The Gavin Report are considered, and the rise of the broadcast consultant as a gatekeeper is explored. This study will also analyze the discrepancy in song selection with respect to race and gender as compared to national measures of popularity.

Almost all the buildings had been converted into guest-houses, there were long-distance-telephone booths with air-con, the cafés showed brand-new Hollywood films on video, and you couldn't walk ten feet without passing a bootleg-tape stall. The main function of the street was as a decompression chamber for those about to leave or enter Thailand, a halfway house between East and West.

  • LIKE MEN DO: STORIES by Anthony D.E
    © COPYRIGHT by Anthony D.E. Wilson 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION To David, Jack, Lisa and Walter. LIKE MEN DO: STORIES BY Anthony D.E. Wilson ABSTRACT This collection examines the often-hidden emotions of men, the frequently tenu- ous relationship between fathers and sons, and the way men act when they aren’t the way society wants them to be. Brothers, both adopted, face the prospect of being fathers themselves; a lonely man finds connection through violence; a best friend wonders how far he can go to repay his indebtedness; a giant seeks to find what makes him feel small; a father considers the gravity of his betrayal as he looks back on the mistakes of his own dad; and a man looks back on a night decades earlier that exemplified the helplessness he feels. Amidst all of these stories are narratives about how men live in a world of expecta- tions, where acknowledging the depth of their souls often is seen as a weakness instead of strength. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank all the men in my life who inspired these stories, whether through their presence or their absence. I owe a debt of gratitude to all the professors who have helped me recognize what’s good and what’s not, including Denise Orenstein, E.J. Levy, Andrew Holleran, Richard McCann and David Keplinger. Also, a hat tip is due to all the other students in American University’s graduate creative writing program, who daily provide inspiration and welcome criticism. I want to thank my thesis committee, Glenn Moomau and Rachel Louise Snyder, whose comments pushed this piece further than I thought it could go.

    The monthly magazine dedicated to Line dancing Amund Storsveen July 2013 Issue 207 • £3.50 SINGIN’ & DANCIN’ IN THE RAIN! PULL-OUT INSIDE • 14 GREAT DANCE SCRIPTS INCLUDING : DAME DE ESO • WISH FOR YOU • LIQUID LUNCH • MY FIRST LOVE cover207.indd 1 28/06/2013 08:59 1120291 1120291 HH.indd 1 28/06/2013 09:00 July 2013 What makes a dance great for you? Music? Steps? The perfect combination of both? The name of the script’s author? Is that name one of your main considerations to try out something new? Does a Maggie or Robbie dance make the grade for you because you know it is going to be fantastic? I am always amazed at the tidal wave of stepsheets that reach our office week in, week out. I am also stunned when I see how many of those come from relative unknowns. Sometimes, I get to think that writing a dance in Line dance terms and hoping to see it “make it” is a very real stroke of luck. I know that those hundreds of weekly dances are not all gold but I also know that a good proportion of them deserve a better chance than what they do get. Kath, our dance editor, has a hard task each month because we agreed, years ago now, to make sure we offer a good selection of new names and more established choreographers, each month. Her research is always extensive as she tries hard to give a lot of new people a break. However, the truth remains that to get a hit in terms of Line dance is not easy.

    Waiter to the Rich and Shameless Confessions of a Five-Star Beverly Hills Server By Paul Hartford Copyright © 2014 Paul Hartford All rights reserved. DEDICATION To all hospitality workers, whether you’re serving the Rich and Shameless or the poor and blameless, and to all corporate grunts plugging away in a 9 to 5 world, dreaming about getting out but not yet having the courage to actually do it. And to my wonderful wife who stood by my side and worked so hard with me on this book. TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE PROLOGUE CHAPTER 1: ALMOST FAMOUS CHAPTER 2: MODERN TIMES CHAPTER 3: COCKTAIL CHAPTER 4: THE PARTY CHAPTER 5: THE WAY WE WERE CHAPTER 6: TRAINING DAY CHAPTER 7: A STAR IS BORN CHAPTER 8: THE LIVES OF OTHERS CHAPTER 9: RUTHLESS PEOPLE CHAPTER 10: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING CHAPTER 11: HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING CHAPTER 12: THE HANGOVER CHAPTER 13: SUNSET BOULEVARD CHAPTER 14: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE CHAPTER 15: ORDINARY PEOPLE CHAPTER 16: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN CHAPTER 17: ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST CHAPTER 18: TITANIC CHAPTER 19: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME EPILOGUE Preface The events in this story are all true and celebrities’ names have not been altered. According to my lawyer I didn’t need to do so. However, the names of my co-workers have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty. And, the name of the establishment has been altered – mostly to protect myself from their powerful hand – at the request of my attorney whose job it is to protect me from lawsuits.
