  • Ronan “Dilf!” Keating
    DNA SAMPLES band’s most bizarre moments? [Laughs.] Yes. It still seems crazy that Bono RONAN asked us to be part of it, but it’s certainly a cool thing to look back on. In 2007 Boyzone made The Guinness Book “DILF!” Of Records, beating Elvis as the only artist to have 30 consecutive top 10 singles in the UK charts. That must feel special. Yes, but it’s not something I dwell on. I’m just KEATING very grateful that I’m still here after 25 years doing what I love. The All Together Now team Who has been the biggest influence on leader talks George Michael, your career? Whitney, Stephen Gately, I grew up listening to George Michael. He’s the reason I’m a singer today. I sang Elton John, U2 and… Elvis! along to Faith in my room and dreamed And his new and final that one day I could be like him. He’s Boyzone album, with Stephen always been a hero of mine and it’s still Gately. By Matthew Myers. DNA: The format of All Together Now is quite unique for a talent show. Discuss! Ronan Keating: It’s family entertainment packed full of great live music but it also has a hundred people singing and dancing along. It sounded so epic I wanted to be part of it. Who is Ronan Keating’s diva? Whitney Houston! She was probably the greatest singer the world has seen and she’ll be remembered for that one track, I Will Always Love You. What’s news on the Boyzone front? We have a new and final album coming out, plus a huge farewell tour.

  • 1 "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music S
    "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music Studies, 20, 3, 2008, 276-329 This story begins with a skinny white DJ mixing between the breaks of obscure Motown records with the ambidextrous intensity of an octopus on speed. It closes with the same man, debilitated and virtually blind, fumbling for gospel records as he spins up eternal hope in a fading dusk. In between Walter Gibbons worked as a cutting-edge discotheque DJ and remixer who, thanks to his pioneering reel-to-reel edits and contribution to the development of the twelve-inch single, revealed the immanent synergy that ran between the dance floor, the DJ booth and the recording studio. Gibbons started to mix between the breaks of disco and funk records around the same time DJ Kool Herc began to test the technique in the Bronx, and the disco spinner was as technically precise as Grandmaster Flash, even if the spinners directed their deft handiwork to differing ends. It would make sense, then, for Gibbons to be considered alongside these and other towering figures in the pantheon of turntablism, but he died in virtual anonymity in 1994, and his groundbreaking contribution to the intersecting arts of DJing and remixology has yet to register beyond disco aficionados.1 There is nothing mysterious about Gibbons's low profile. First, he operated in a culture that has been ridiculed and reviled since the "disco sucks" backlash peaked with the symbolic detonation of 40,000 disco records in the summer of 1979.

  • 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.
