  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.

  • JK Bloomsday Interview
    A Bloomsday Interview With Joanne Kyger in New York Trevor Carolan “I don’t think it was until I moved to Bolinas in 1969 that I really entered into a close relationship with the land around me in my writing. About the birds who live here, to this day the quail are probably my closest neighbors.” * “Poetry has a lot to do with awakening,” Joanne Kyger has noted. I came to appreciate this while teaching a humanities seminar at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. The readings included a constellation of writers associated with “San Francisco: the Athens of the American West”, a large number of whom were Buddhist-influenced. I noticed how young male students gravitated to work by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, or Kenneth Rexroth; by contrast, women students responded strongly to the poetry and poetics of Joanne Kyger and Diane di Prima. Accordingly, I began paying closer attention to the transpacific inflections that percolate through the work of other women writers like Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Alice Walker, Jane Hirschfield, and bell hooks. In June, 2008, Joanne Kyger was a featured speaker at The Beats In India, an Asia Centre symposium in New York. The event celebrated the journey made in 1962 by Kyger, her then-husband Snyder, and fellow American poets Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky, and addressed ‘what drew the Beats to India and how they inspired successive generations of Americans to turn to the East for spiritual and creative wisdom’. There was a sense of historical importance about the gathering. Two days later on Bloomsday, I spoke with Kyger at the loft home office of Vincent Katz, publisher of Kyger’s poetry collection, Not Veracruz (Libellum Books).

  • Laterooms.Com - Alice in Chains Ready to Rock Turin Submitted By: Laterooms Ltd Tuesday, 4 May 2010
    LateRooms.com - Alice in Chains ready to rock Turin Submitted by: LateRooms Ltd Tuesday, 4 May 2010 Seattle grunge legends Alice in Chains are set to play in Turin this summer, a gig that could provide the perfect opportunity for guests at Turin hotels (http://www.laterooms.com/en/k13666314_turin-hotels.aspx) to dust off their ripped jeans and enjoy an evening of quality alternative music. The band is set to play Colonia Sonora on Wednesday June 9th, with founding member Jerry Cantrell still rocking away alongside William DuVall, who joined the band in 2005 after the death of original vocalist Layne Staley. Fans in the crowd may be pleased to hear that if they are enthusiastic enough they may be treated to an extended set, with the band revealing on their blog that this was the case at a recent gig in St Augustine, Florida. "On a night like tonight, when the crowd is great and the band is a little extra pumped up, they add a song to the encore," they remarked. Attendees can expect to hear songs from the group's back a catalogue of hits, which stretches over more than 25 years and includes hit albums such as their eponymous Alice in Chains record and Jar of Flies. This week, the band confirmed on their official website that they are set to headline Blackdiamondskye in Autumn, with Mastodon and the Deftones providing support. Entrance to the show costs €34.50 (£29.80), with tickets available online. To make the most of the Alice in Chains concert – you should consider booking your hotel Torino (http://www.laterooms.com/it/k13666314_hotel-torino.aspx) to avoid disappointment.
