  • Most Underrated Band of All Time?
    :: View email as a web page :: For the past 15 years, Manchester Orchestra has been one of the most popular emo bands on the planet. The one person who has been there every step of the way is founding singer-songwriter Andy Hull, who started the band when he was in his teens and has charted his own growing-up process with each album. Manchester Orchestra has also matured a lot over the years, evolving from an intense and volatile post-hardcore outt on albums like 2009’s Mean Everything To Nothing to the expansive and philosophical indie rock of their latest, The Million Masks Of God, which drops next week. Along the way, they’ve managed to somehow grow their audience while retaining committed fans who connected with the early records as teenagers, including famous acolytes like Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker. “Even though everything did well at that time, it wasn’t really accepted by critics and ‘cool’ people,” Hull recently mused about his back catalogue, “and that totally worked in our favor, because it still holds up. It sounds, to me, pretty timeless.” Ahead of the release of The Million Masks Of God, Hull reected on every Manchester Orchestra LP, candidly breaking down the myriad fascinating dramas that marked the process of making each record.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • A School for Singing: the Poetics, Politics, and Aesthetics of the CBGB Scene Shaun Michael Cullen Springfield, PA M.A., Humanit
    A School for Singing: The Poetics, Politics, and Aesthetics of the CBGB Scene Shaun Michael Cullen Springfield, PA M.A., Humanities, University of Chicago, 2005 B.F.A., Cinema Studies, New York University, 2002 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Language and Literature University of Virginia December, 2013 © Copyright by Shaun Cullen All Rights Reserved November 2013 ii ABSTRACT On August 16, 1974, exactly one week after Richard Nixon’s resignation, the Ramones made their debut at CBGB. Over the next ten years, the club would become synonymous with the punk aesthetic that the Ramones embodied. By shifting, however temporarily and by no means completely, the focus of punk studies (and by extension, cultural studies, American studies, urban studies, and queer studies) back to an often disavowed origin point, CBGB and New York City, “A School for Singing” rediscovers a utopian imaginary inherent in that scene often taken to be one of the most shambolic and nihilistic in the history of postmodern arts and letters. Punk was not just a musical movement, it was an artistic event that had wider ramifications, felt across the art world, from the dingiest clubs to the most rarefied art galleries, publishing houses, and runways. Just this past year, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its fifth most popular exhibit of all time, “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” which features, among other mementos of the punk era, a faithful recreation of the CBGB bathroom, where “all the action happened,” as Patti Smith once quipped.

  • Teenage Fanclub Holder Vinteren I Skak, Når De Deler Ud Af Deres Varme 90'Er Rock I Lille VEGA
    Teenage Fanclub 2016-10-11 10:00 CEST Teenage Fanclub holder vinteren i skak, når de deler ud af deres varme 90'er rock i Lille VEGA. VEGA og Live Nation præsenterer: Teenage Fanclub holder vinteren i skak, når de deler ud af deres varme 90'er rock i Lille VEGA. Når Teenage Fanclub gæster Lille VEGA fredag den 10. februar 2017, har de deres helt nye album, Here, med. Udgivelsen er den ellevte i rækken fra det anerkendte skotske band, der besøger Danmark for første gang siden 2010. Teenage Fanclub udsprang af den alternative rock scene i Glasgow 1989 og lagde fra kaj med et støjende lydbillede. På de første to albums fra henholdsvis 1990 og 91, var lyden rå og udvisket i en nærved kaotisk sammensmeltning af riffs. På deres tredje album, Bandwagonesque, der også udkom i 1991, viste bandet dog en ny side der fremover skulle komme til at blive deres kendetegn. Albummet blev en stor kommerciel succes og de klare referencer til den klassiske West Coast-pop gav associationer til bands som Beach Boys. Musikken og harmonien intakt i næsten 30 år Den lette og mere harmoniske lyd der siden Bandwagonesque har domineret Teenage Fanclubs musik, er også at finde på den nye plade Here, der udkom 9. september. Der er en varme og sikkerhed at spore på hver af albummets 12 skæringer, hvilket utvivlsomt kan tilskrives bandets lange samarbejde, strækker sig over næsten tre årtier. Selvom Here er Teenage Fanclubs ellevte studiealbum, er der ikke meget tvivl at spore hos anmelderne; bandet leverer stadig alternativ rock af bedste skuffe.
