14-05-2011 17:59 CEST Hellbillies og Darius Rucker Brad Paisleys spesielle gjester er virkelig spesielle! Hellbillies og Darius Rucker Fredag 26. august går årets definitive countrygalla av stabelen i Oslo Spektrum. USAs ledende countrystjerne, Brad Paisley, fosser inn i Spektrum med sin spektakulære H20 II World Tour.Konserten kommer bare tre måneder etter at Brad Paisley slipper sitt nye album, This is Country Music, ute 20.mai, der sangeren/ mestergitaristen får hjelp av legender som Eagles Don Henley og Clint Eastwood. I Oslo Spektrum byr Brad Paisley på to oppsiktsvekkende gjesteartister; norske Hellbillies og amerikanske Darius Rucker. Nordmenn trenger ingen annen introduksjon til heltene fra Hallingdal enn å minnes på at Hellbillies siste utgivelse, Leite Etter Lykka, er blant Norges mest solgte album det siste året og at bandets gitarist, Lars Håvard Haugen, i våres ytterligere har demonstrert sine overlegne gitarferdigheter med sin instrumentale solodebut, Six Strings and the Truth. Hellbillies deltagelse på Brad Paisleys konsert i Oslo Spektrum innebærer altså at to av samtidas ledende countrygitarister befinner seg under samme tak, samme kveld. Amerikanske Darius Rucker er først og fremst kjent i Skandinavia som sanger i bandet Hootie & the Blowfish. Men de siste tre årene har Darius Rucker opplevd en karriererenessanse som hører med blant de virkelig sjeldne. I 2008 slapp Rucker sitt første album for Capitol Nashville, og plasserte tre av singlene fra Learn To Live på toppen av Billboardlista Hot Country Songs. Da førstesingelen, ”Don´t think I think about it”, nådde førsteplassen, var Darius Rucker den første afro-amerikaneren som klatret helt opp siden Charley Pride lå øverst for et kvart århundre siden. I 2009 oppnådde Rucker å bli den første afro-amerikaneren som mottok New Artist Award fra Country Music Association noen sinne. I 2010 fulgte Rucker opp med sitt andre countryalbum, Charleston, SC 1966. De to første singlene fra albumet har også toppet Hot Country Songs. www.mepmusic.com Kontaktpersoner Ida Torgeby Pressekontakt Projektkoordinator Pressansvarig [email protected] +46 706-886377.

02257 Passage Title: Music: the Ancient Basis of Education
Passage Information Passage Code: 02257 Passage Title: Music: The Ancient Basis of Education Music: The Ancient Basis of Education 1 Music has been part of education for thousands of years. The history of education overlaps with music and science. Why should this be? We will better understand this relationship when we consider the beliefs of great thinkers from the past. 2 Philosophers believed that students should learn music. They saw patterns in music that appeared in other parts of the natural world. Music reflected the beauty found in nature. The ancient Greeks used a word similar to “harmony” to describe the most perfect beauty. This kind of beauty had form and balance. There was harmony in ethics, mathematics, and art. The notes of a harmonious chord follow a pattern. A painting shows harmony when the colors and lines do not conflict. The ancient Greeks’ idea of harmony could apply to almost any field of study. The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras was famous for his views on music. He believed that the entire universe follows the same elegant structure as a piece of music. In his opinion, studying music and studying astronomy were equally important. To him, the movement of the planets was as graceful as a symphony. 3 Plato, another Greek philosopher, said that music should be the first form of learning. He compared the educated mind to a tuned instrument. Children who studied music tuned their minds to think beautiful thoughts. In ancient India, thinkers also connected music to learning. These thinkers used a term similar to “song” for music.

“Boys 'Round Here”: Masculine Life-Course Narratives in Contemporary Country Music
social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article “Boys ‘Round Here”: Masculine Life-Course Narratives in Contemporary Country Music Cenate Pruitt Department of Sociology & Human Services, University of North Georgia, Gainesville, GA 30566, USA; [email protected] Received: 6 May 2019; Accepted: 4 June 2019; Published: 7 June 2019 Abstract: Country music remains one of the most popular genres in U.S. American society but is historically under-researched compared to rock, rap and other styles. This article extends the social science literature on the genre by examining themes of masculine identity in popular country hits of the current century. A content analysis of 35 top country hits from the last 15 years of the Billboard charts reveals three key masculine archetypes: the lover, the family man and particularly the country boy, which is the dominant masculine image within the last few years of the genre. Together, the three create a life-course narrative where the rambunctious country boy will eventually settle into monogamous heterosexual romance, with marriage and fatherhood presented as the ultimate achievement of successful manhood. A fourth, lesser, archetype, the roughneck, presents an “arrested development” version of the country boy, fully-grown but rejecting the social and familial responsibilities of the other archetypes. These narratives simultaneously challenge some aspects of hegemonic masculinity (urbanity, white-collar labor) while reinforcing others (whiteness, heterosexuality). Keywords: country music; gender; masculinity; life course; fatherhood; identity 1. Introduction Country music, the fourth-most popular radio format in the U.S., comprises 10% of all music consumed in the U.S., whether digital streaming or physical purchases (The Nielsen Company 2017).
