FP NEWSLETTER " VANCOUVER ARTIST HIGHLIGHT : BRUCE’S CORNER MOLLY GRIFFIN & TRISTAN PAXTON I grew up in Calgary with a tight group of friends with similar interests: sports, cars, music and girls; not necessarily in that order. Thinking back now, I'm not so sure they were all interested in music. I think that those who were into music kind of forced our tastes onto others, and since they wouldn't have listened to music otherwise, it was all they would know. Now I wouldn't want to suggest that this was a crime to not have a natural love of music, as we're all wired differently, but it is a shame. Back in the day when I got a driver’s license, the state of the art listening device was the eight track deck. A company called K-Tel would sell these Best of the Year singles, and for a friend, this was his only source of music - Good music. And since most of the songs were one hit wonders, it was really the only place to hear it. Calgary is an hour east of Banff, and as teenagers we spent many weekends up camping with a dozen people taking up 3 campsites. There was always an album dominating the music choice and they would get played continuously. Hotel California, Rumours, Boston, Grease, Abba, Billy Joel, Rolling Stones, ELO Molly Griffin and Tristan Paxton are a husband and wife musical team in and of course, Zeppelin. On a recent visit home, I met up with some of these which Tristan plays guitar and Molly sings and writes. The couple were friends (at least the ones still around) and the same old music was playing. I find introduced in 2009 at a mutual friend’s house and married in 2013. it interesting, because there has been so much great music made in the last 25 years. I will always cherish the classics, but the nineties produced so much Molly has been singing and playing music her entire life and began to good music, and I honestly prefer listening to these neo-classics.

Enjoy all and remember to use sunscreen. Tristan grew up in a household of musicians. His father being a professional singer and drummer, Tristan consequently began his performing career at ten SPRINGSTEEN - BORN TO RUN years old. He distinguished himself as an exceptional guitar player in high by D.M. White school and continued to do so at McGill University’s Music Program. The rumour about Bruce Springsteen, when I Throughout his training he has won several awards and scholarships and on first heard of him many years ago, was that his return to Vancouver, Tristan quickly became one of the city’s most his live act was one long and vivacious show. I respected and sought after guitarists. His playing is frequently compared to a think that the first album that I bought of his mixture of Wes Montgomery and Stevie Ray Vaughn. was his best-seller Born in the USA. That record eventually wore thin though when I Molly and Tristan are currently working on recordings of their original music discovered his earlier-made second and third and can be seen performing both original songs and covers respectively, albums.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • Progressive-Era Hygienic Ideology, Waste, and Upton Sinclair's the Jungle
    Processes of Elimination: Progressive-Era Hygienic Ideology, Waste, and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle J. Michael Duvall Disappointed that The Jungle did not result in a ground-swell of socialist sentiment, Upton Sinclair famously evaluated his best-known novel as a kind of failure. "I aimed at the public's heart," he wrote, "and by accident hit them in the stomach."1 Yet no one could doubt that Sinclair aimed at the public's heart, given The Jungle's sentimentality, but the idea that he hit the public in the stomach by accident obviously overstates the case. More likely, Sinclair aimed at the public's stomach, but hoped that the blow would cause moral outrage and a lasting change in the public's heart. He was following a venerable recipe for fomenting moral judgment: begin with your basic jeremiad, ladle in liberal amounts of the filthy and the revolting, and stir.2 As William Ian Miller affirms in The Anatomy of Disgust, Sinclair's gambit is right on target. Disgust and moral judgment are nearly always wrapped up together, for "except for the highest-toned discourses of moral philosophers, moral judgment seems almost to demand the idiom of disgust. That makes me sick! What revolting behavior! You give me the creeps!'3 Miller's illustration of how disgust surfaces in expressions of moral judgment highlights that disgust is encoded bodily. This is evidenced in the adjectives "sick" and "revolting" and the noun "the creeps," all three quite visceral in their tone and implications. Invoking the disgusting is but one way in which The Jungle enlists the body, in this case, the bodies of readers themselves.

  • Kaitlin Liston Due: January 7Th, 2014 Dr. O'brien City in Literature Los
    Kaitlin Liston Due: January 7th, 2014 Dr. O’brien City In Literature Los Angeles Through Song: Driving, Danger, Sun, Stars, Women, and Loneliness Music is a way of expressing things that may not be able to be expressed through words alone; “Music is the soul of language” (Max Heindel). Los Angeles has many different songs written about it that articulate the essence of Los Angeles. Songs describe parts of places in depth and LA songs can be divided into six different categories: driving, danger, sun, stars, women, and loneliness. This project will explore how some of the most famous songs about Los Angeles express part of the LA identity and will try to answer the question: does Los Angeles need every part for its true identity? Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by the Spanish on the site of a Native American village, but it wasn’t until the first film studio was established in 1911 that Los Angeles really began to soar. In the 1920s and 1930s the box office began to boom and thus the population of Los Angeles did too. Easterners began the move West in search of their fortune and during the Great Depression the population began to increase even more. Life was grim, but the cinema provided and escape and made California seem idyllic and glamourous. But, as the city grew so did the need for water; LA was built on an arid basin. Water had been an issue since the Spanish were settled in Los Angeles in 1799 when Spanish padres in San Fernando dammed up the river.

  • BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Bobby Charles was born Robert Charles Guidry on 21st February 1938 in Abbeville, Louisiana. A native Cajun himself, he recalled that his life “changed for ever” when he re-tuned his parents’ radio set from a local Cajun station to one playing records by Fats Domino. Most successful as a songwriter, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of swamp pop. His own vocal style was laidback and drawling. His biggest successes were songs other artists covered, such as ‘See You Later Alligator’ by Bill Haley & His Comets; ‘Walking To New Orleans’ by Fats Domino – with whom he recorded a duet of the same song in the 1990s – and ‘(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do’ by Clarence “Frogman” Henry. It allowed him to live off the songwriting royalties for the rest of his life! Two other well-known compositions are ‘The Jealous Kind’, recorded by Joe Cocker, and ‘Tennessee Blues’ which Kris Kristofferson committed to record. Disenchanted with the music business, Bobby disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1960s but returned in 1972 with a self-titled album on the Bearsville label on which he was accompanied by Rick Danko and several other members of the Band and Dr John. Bobby later made a rare live appearance as a guest singer on stage at The Last Waltz, the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, although his contribution was cut from Martin Scorsese’s film of the event. Bobby Charles returned to the studio in later years, recording a European-only album called Clean Water in 1987.

  • A Guide to Listening to Holes in Our Stories by Dylan Owen
    Holes In Our Stories A Guide to Listening _________________________________________________________________ This album is dedicated to anybody who has put themselves back together after a terrible loss. The conclusion of this album is that we see our lives as the movies we always wanted them to be only when we die and look back on them. Everything we leave unfinished can be beautiful and cinematic in retrospect. I made this album to not let go of the dream that there’s still a great adventure ahead of me. I will keep writing until it arrives. There were so many times the last few years when I didn’t think this album would come into existence. I didn’t think I’d ever finish it, and I figured this story would be left on the cutting room floor with no resolution—just like those parts of my past that didn’t get their proper movie script ending. I eventually realized that no conclusion is the best one of all. I’m happy and proud that this is now released into the world. Enclosed in this document: Liner Notes A Guide to Listening to Holes In Our Stories: Cliff Notes & a Map to the Metaphors Lyrics, Album Credits, and Dedications Liner Notes _______________________________________ As I mention in my book, I didn’t put myself back together alone. Here are just some of the people that are responsible for this album existing. Each of you belong in my ending credits.
