Album of the Week: Foster the People – <I>Sacred Hearts Club</I>

Album of the Week: Foster the People – Sacred Hearts Club Sacred Hearts Club by Foster the People Listening to mainstream pop music is much like ordering from a fast food restaurant: Everything is the same and there are no innovative surprises. Pop music always has a catchy chorus and a processed beat, while fast food has no thrills and fills your stomach with regret after you eat a high-calorie monstrosity. Los Angeles act Foster the People offer a refreshing antidote to pop’s saturation with their third album Sacred Hearts Club released Jul 21 by Columbia Records. There’s an abundance of substance in each track that gives the listener a jolt of excitement that the band’s contemporaries lack. There’s a lot of funk within Foster the People’s latest release. Mark Foster and Ison Innis once again show their songwriting expertise while incorporating electronic elements. Each song the band writes tries to make people dance and achieves that from start to finish. Psychedelic æsthetics are present and the musical structure exudes rhythmic brilliance. Sacred Hearts Club is a testament to artistic consistency. Great music has the power to contagiously induce positive emotions: Listening to a favorite artist or band can uplift the roughest of days. What makes that possible? Harmonies and lyrics definitely play a part; a groovy guitar riff and a fun drum beat also have something to do with that. Let’s provide a further examination with my top tracks off of the Album of the Week: “Lotus Eater” is a hot jam that has guitars shining while the harmonies and lyrics convey an energetic vibe; it’s a prime track to play with a bunch of people in the room so they can start dancing and acting a bit crazy. With a soft tone at the beginning, “Sit Next To Me” has a soulful sound that is anchored by a pristine bass line, and the electronic elements mentioned earlier have a huge presence. A rhythmic voyage is undertaken when “Static Space Lover” invades the senses, and actress Jena Malone lends her vocal talents. Foster the People will be heading back to the New England area when they play the House of Blues in Boston on Sep 13. It promises to be a wild time so make sure you head to the “Hub” and check out the show. While you’re there, grab a copy of the new album: It will give you a heavy dose of jive and make you feel alive.

Grouplove/51765840/1?Loc=Interstitialskip
December 9, 2011 http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/ontheverge/story/2011-12-06/on-the-verge-with-indie-rock-group-grouplove/51765840/1?loc=interstitialskip Grouplove grew out of friendship By Korina Lopez, USA TODAY Group love, indeed: This Los Angeles-based quintet certainly lives up to its name. "We never planned to be a band. We were friends first and we just love being together," says lead singer Christian Zucconi. "Grouplove grew organically from that love." Their debut album, with the tongue-in-cheek title Never Trust a Happy Song, is quickly spreading the love, too. Their sweet and savory mix of jangly, upbeat melodies, Zucconi's anguished howl and keyboardist Hannah Hooper's coquettish backup vocals have been making the rounds in indie rock circles and on the charts. Joyful, noisy single Colours peaked at No. 12 on USA TODAY's alternative chart. Another track, Tongue Tied, lassoed the new iPod Touch commercial, which ran during the Grammy nominations concert and has continued since Thanksgiving. Add Grouplove's lock as the opening band for Young the Giant's tour in March and April, and it's no wonder they're so lovey-dovey. Happy accidents: Zucconi wasn't always this upbeat. "Before Grouplove, I was in other bands, but the timing never seemed right," he says. "I'd wake up every day depressed, I spent so many years miserable doing music. But it's wonderful now how we overcame everything together. It's funny that Grouplove is such a happy band." The band members met each other in 2008 at an artist commune in Crete.

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Though sodium fluoride is more common, old or expensive toothpastes such asCrest Pro-health combine this element with fluoride. This element is taken from the mineral cassiterite [KASS-ih-tuh-“rite”]. Though this element is usually metallic, its gray allotrope does not behave like a metal. The loss of metallic properties of this element at low temperatures is known as its “pest”. This is the primary element in pewter, and this element’s alloy with copper is bronze. Name this element whose symbol comes from its Latin name, “stannum”. Answer: tin [accept Sn before “stannum” and prompt thereon thereafter] 3.
