  • The Good Life Rich Nathan February 13 & 14, 2016 the Good Life John 10:1-10
    The Good Life Rich Nathan February 13 & 14, 2016 The Good Life John 10:1-10 This week, our entire church, from preschoolers through adults, will begin to focus our attention for the next six weeks on The Good Life. What it is and how we can live it. All of my messages are followed up by a video teaching that all of our small groups will be watching in their small group meeting. We prayed to start up 350 new groups during this campaign. As of this weekend, 390 of you have signed up to host a group. I just want to say “thank you”! This is the very last weekend to sign up to host a group. Following the service, head out to the lobby at your campus to sign up to host a small group. Every attendee will receive a copy of the daily devotions that have been prepared for the six weeks of this Good Life series. We’ve already given out thousands of copies of the devotional. You don’t want to miss this, if you are not in small group, again head out to the lobby following the service to join a group or simply go online to vineyardcolumbus.org. Everyone will be talking about the Good Life. There’s a periodical out called The Vegan Good Life. Picture of the Magazine It’s advertised as being Packed with the very best in vegan fashion, travel, lifestyle, art and design So vegans have particular destinations for their travel. Would that include avoiding all roads that pass by dairy farms or ice cream stands? Making sure that the vehicle you’re traveling in has no leather seats? Vegan travel.

Most of these approaches, in one form or another, ac- knowledge the impact of synthesisers on musical culture, either by celebrating their role in powering avant-garde eras of sonic experimentation and composition, or by mapping the relationship between manufacturing trends and stylistic divergences in popular mu- sic. The availability of affordable, portable and approachable synthesiser designs has been highlighted as a catalyst for their crossover from academic to popular spheres, while a number of authors have dealt with the transition from analogue to digital tech- nologies and their effect on the stylisation of performance and production approaches3.

  • Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: a Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’S “Mainstream” (1996)
    Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) MITCHELL OHRINER[1] University of Denver ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen the rise of musical corpus studies, primarily detailing harmonic tendencies of tonal music. This article extends this scholarship by addressing a new genre (rap music) and a new parameter of focus (rhythm). More specifically, I use corpus methods to investigate the relation between metric ambivalence in the instrumental parts of a rap track (i.e., the beat) and an emcee’s rap delivery (i.e., the flow). Unlike virtually every other rap track, the instrumental tracks of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) simultaneously afford hearing both a four-beat and a three-beat metric cycle. Because three-beat durations between rhymes, phrase endings, and reiterated rhythmic patterns are rare in rap music, an abundance of them within a verse of “Mainstream” suggests that an emcee highlights the three-beat cycle, especially if that emcee is not prone to such durations more generally. Through the construction of three corpora, one representative of the genre as a whole, and two that are artist specific, I show how the emcee T-Mo Goodie’s expressive practice highlights the rare three-beat affordances of the track. Submitted 2015 July 15; accepted 2015 December 15. KEYWORDS: corpus studies, rap music, flow, T-Mo Goodie, Outkast THIS article uses methods of corpus studies to address questions of creative practice in rap music, specifically how the material of the rapping voice—what emcees, hip-hop heads, and scholars call “the flow”—relates to the material of the previously recorded instrumental tracks collectively known as the beat.

  • Final Corrected Diss4-28
    21ST CENTURY MOJO: THE PRACTICE OF RITUAL AND HIP HOP AMONG BRIGHT, BLACK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AT A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE UNIVERSITY by J. SEAN CALLAHAN (Under the direction of Tarek C. Grantham and Elizabeth A. St. Pierre) ABSTRACT In this qualitative project, I interviewed eight Black male and female students, ages 22-30, to explore how they engage hip hop culture within the social, cultural, political, and historical conditions specific to the southeastern flagship university they attend. By focusing on their everyday lives and the interactions that are possible within the multiple social spaces of the university, my purpose was to better understand how these students use hip hop culture to make sense of their experiences on campus. More specifically, my dissertation locates the ritual practices that these students perform in the process of constructing and negotiating the socio-cultural terrain of the university; addresses the methodological issues that arise when conducting qualitative research that focuses on gifted, Black students; and explores the educative value of practicing hip hop. The significance of this work lies with its attention to the intersection where the processes of cultural production meet giftedness as well as its emphasis on the socio-emotional development of gifted and talented Black university students.
