  • MARILYN MANSON Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) (Metal)
    MARILYN MANSON Holy wood (in the shadow of the valley of death) (Metal) Année de sortie : 2000 Nombre de pistes : 19 Durée : 68' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! En avril 1999, l’Amérique est profondément bouleversée par la fusillade de Columbine. Deux élèves du lycée de la ville, lourdement armés, y massacrent douze adolescents et un enseignant avant de se donner la mort. Une tragédie d’autant plus effroyable qu’elle ne résulte pas d’un accès de folie : les meurtriers avaient élaboré un plan relaté en détail dans leur journal. La violence inouïe de cet acte conduira les enquêteurs à se pencher sur leur personnalité et leur prétendue appartenance à un cercle gothique. Marilyn MANSON est alors fortement controversé : les déséquilibrés sont considérés comme des admirateurs de celui-ci, qui les aurait induit à commettre ces atrocités. Il est vrai que le personnage se distingue volontiers dans la provocation, à commencer par un nom d’artiste qui juxtapose le prénom d’une icône du cinéma et le nom du tueur Charles Manson, qui a commandité l’assassinat de l’actrice Sharon Tate, alors enceinte. Cependant il apparaîtra que les psychopathes n’étaient pas fans de MANSON.

  • On Marilyn Manson's Album Born Villain Morag Keil Quotes Model
    In her text “Eye Contact” on Marilyn Manson’s album Born Villain Morag Keil quotes model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: “At some point you have to start looking at yourself as a product. You have to do business with yourself. I look at Gisele – she has the character that everyone wants. She has made herself into a brand.” It happens to all of us, maybe even the best of us. This is where this exhibition got its starting point: in the embarrassing moment when we realize that everything we thought was authentic and that we could be proud of also functions by itself as an image – autonomous and elusive, efficient, deceitful. Art, life, work, occupation becoming their own representations in the form of positions, fantasies and identities. Caught up in ambivalent desires or ambitions, this pattern of self-definition and self- awareness can be part of an empowerment process, but also unfold as a marketing strategy, filling in specific demands in terms of social exposure and personal/professional expectations. The practice of an artist is routinely seen as a definition by itself: the embodiment of a lifestyle – the essential post-romantic surplus value. Trouble, annoyance and paradoxes appear here when the conventions of ironic heroization, spleenful projection, or transgression get exhausted. Which is, after all, fine. It’s not the forms and the signs that can stand for an attitude. More so the way they are used, put together and exchanged; activating their potential for meaning and feeling. Do these problems sound too general, or too familiar? Such looming questions seem not to belong to anyone anymore.

    CURREN$Y Verde Terrace 8.23.11 JetLife Recordings / Warner Bros. Records Hip-hop artists who need help figuring out their live show, talk to Spitta. Philadelphia Weekly New Orleans weed-rapper Curren$y has built a large following over the past few years for his mellowed-out rhymes and spacey instrumentals, releasing a string of solid albums and mixtapes at a nearly inhuman rate. Riverfront Times "You also can't argue against the fact that Curren$y's both prolific and consistent, a rare quality if there ever was one." PrefixMag.com "There is not a week that goes by, where his name isn’t either buzzing or trending online, something new drops on the radio, or there is new material available on iTunes." stupidDOPE.com Verde Terrace doesn't break any new territory for Curren$y, but "new territory" isn't really part of his M.O.-- he is digging a groove, one into which he settles more comfortably each year…Curren$y is refining the contours of his tiny universe so that it resembles no one else's. Pitchfork.com, Verde Terrace review (7.3 of 10) Curren$y understands the formula to creating a cult following: consistent, high quality music delivered frequently…Spitta offers an album full of his standard weed, women and clothes that made him the cult icon and fan favorite he is now.

It's Saturday, November 2, 2019, and with me here at the Mansfield Library on the University of Montana campus is John Fleming. John is the proprietor of Ear Candy Music, which opened September 21, 1997, and is now located at 624 South Higgins Avenue here in Missoula. John, thanks so much for being here. JF: You're welcome. BM: Please introduce yourself and share a little bit about your background. JF: Well, my name is John Fleming. I moved to Missoula in 1991 to attend grad school, and I got my ABT degree, all but the thesis, so didn't quite get there. Then kicked around for a bit, got a job at Rockin’ Rudy’s, and then a friend approached me about opening our own store. Figured if I didn't take the chance, then it would never happen. So, I sold my 1958 Chrysler Windsor and used that money to purchase some product and liquidated my personal record collection—well, not entirely, but a lot of them—and that was my initial inventory.
