  • Midnight Special Songlist
    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

  • Spring 2015: View Our
    This zine is a product of Feminist Studies 150H Spring 2015 Too young to know Kasey Reinbold my baby brother smiles and coos at the woman making faces laughing hovering above him. “what a ladies man!” they all proclaim. my baby brother turns fifteen and tells us he does not feel sexual attraction: A­S­E­X­U­A­L. my mother’s tongue rejects the word. “you’re too young to know for sure.” the parade in the summer boasts rainbows and glitter and corporate sponsorships. it sings, “we were born this way!” and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. i think the hateful folks may be onto something. maybe our passions and our lusts are a choice. but that choice sure as hell isn’t ours. This is a love letter Jill Pember wrote to her boyfriend. She plans to give it to him before she leaves Santa Barbara for the summer Monika Terry Mass Media: Where No Means Try Harder By Josephine Bergill­Gentile I was recently watching TV and came across a scene from the movie The Devil Wears ​ Prada. The scene is portrayed ​ as highly romantic where the main character, a female, is walking through the streets of Paris at night accompanied by a man. The man kisses her, something she responds to with hesitation stating that she and her long­term boyfriend had just broken up. He proceeds to kiss her as she lists reasons such as, “I’ve had too much to drink and my judgment is impaired,” and ”I barely know you and I’m in a strange city.” Eventually she claims to be out of excuses and she winds up in his hotel room.

  • ENG 350 Summer12
    ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Monday - Thursday, 6:30-8:30, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our two required textbook are Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) and Neal and Forman’s That's the Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader are both available at the RIC campus store. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will is also a course blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources at http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ WRITTEN WORK: An informal response to our readings and listenings is due each week on the blog.

  • Paul Dilks, Radio Personality, and Former Congressional Candidate, Is
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Paul Dilks – 609-685-3736, [email protected] Paul Dilks, radio personality, and former congressional candidate, is honoring a “Veteran of the Day” at 4:00 on his radio program and is looking for candidates from his audience. Cherry Hill, NJ (February 11, 2019) – Paul Dilks, former Congressional Candidate for the First Congressional District in New Jersey after making his return to local radio on February 4th on WNJC 1360 Monday – Friday afternoons from 3:00 – 6:00, decided to incorporate into his program a “Veteran of the Day” during the 4:00 hour. Paul has been involved in Veteran causes since his time on the radio a few years ago. “We owe our veterans so much as they may be asked to put their lives in harm’s way at any time to protect the freedoms we have as Americans. “ Paul explained. “I have become friends with many of the members of the Glassboro VFW and honoring them and other veterans just seemed like the right thing to do.” Also within the segment Paul will be honoring one Purple Heart recipient each week. He will be asking each honoree for a few songs from Paul’s play list that may have got them through their time of service or favorite songs of their youth. Paul is asking for nominees of veterans from his listening audience. Honoring a veteran each day allows us to honor well over 200 per year and Paul would like to have input from his audience. If you know a veteran you would like to honor, email Paul at [email protected] .
