    Friday 21 Friday, September 21, 2018 Lifestyle | Music & Movies Millennium fortune: Morocco radio ban urged for singer Han Solo jacket up accused of rape for auction in London social media campaign has been launched to ban the songs of Moroccan pop star Saad Lamjarred on the country’s Aradio stations after he was charged in France in a third case involving rape charges. The 33-year-old singer, whose hit “Lmaallem” has been viewed more than 660 million times on YouTube, was detained on Tuesday over an alleged incident in a Saint-Tropez hotel. Lamjarred, who denies the allegations, had al- ready faced rape accusations in October 2016 and April 2017. So- cial media activists have started campaigning to silence Lamjarred under the hashtags #masaktach (“we will not be silenced”) and #LamjarredOut. Arabic-language website Hesspress on Wednesday posted a caricature of the singer in vanishing black ink against a Parisian backdrop next to the slogan “Salina, salina,” (it’s over, it’s over), the title of one of his love songs. The station Radio 2M said on Twitter that it had stopped promoting Lamjarred’s songs over the latest rape charge, while Hit Radio said it would poll its listeners Saad Lamjarred to decide on whether to keep his music off the air. — AFP In this file photo the jacket worn by Harrison Ford’s character Newcomer Shah battles with Han Solo in the ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’ film is on Thai fans nabbed for show at the Imax in central London and will be auctioned. — AFP rock big guns Arctic Monkeys he jacket worn by loveable Star Wars scoundrel Han sneaking into airport to Solo in “The Empire Strikes Back” as well as Indiana TJones’s signature fedora are among rare movie mem- for Mercury Prize orabilia going under the hammer in London yesterday.

  • Zurück Zur Wut
    # 2017/35 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2017/35/zurueck-zur-wut Die Wut der Nadine Shah tut der abgebrühten Indie-Szene gut Zurück zur Wut Von Steffen Greiner Die britische Songwriterin Nadine Shah leistet auf ihrem neuen Album »Holiday Destination« antirassistische Basisarbeit. Ausgerechnet Stevie Wonder! Ein Musiker, den die junge Generation eigentlich nur als sein eigenes Klischee kennt, den blinden, ewig gutgelaunten Soul-Typen am Klavier, »I Just Called to Say I Love You« singend. Dieser Stevie Wonder inspirierte die britische Songwriterin Nadine Shah zu einem der wütendsten Alben, das die Indie-Szene in den vergangenen Jahren kennengelernt hat. Wut und Indie, das ging lange nicht mehr gut zusammen. Vielleicht ja auch noch nie. Wut, das war früher Punk und Hardcore und Hip­Hop, mittlerweile ist es überwiegend die black music, die sich nicht mit dem Schulterzucken über Missstände begnügt. Während Kendrick Lamar und Beyoncé in ihrer Musik gegen Hass politisch werden, macht die gewöhnliche Indie-Band noch immer Songs über den Sommer. Ist ja auch okay, ist halt nur nicht mehr so angemessen. Die Musikzeitschrift Spex widmete der Wut vor einigen Wochen vielleicht auch darum eine ganze Ausgabe – weil da was im Argen liegt, aber auch ein Wandel in der Luft. Nadine Shah könnte eine Pionierin sein für die nächste Ära politischer Songwriter. Und die wird ganz anders klingen als die vorherigen, als die Liedermacher der Sechziger, auch als deren Epigonen, Kevin Morby oder die Fleet Foxes, die ihrerseits in diesem Sommer Alben veröffentlichten haben, auf denen sie versuchen, gesellschaftliche Irritationen zu verarbeiten. »Meine Texte waren so dunkel, darum sollte die Musik gerade nicht niedergeschlagen sein«, sagt Shah nun im Interview.

I wasn’t a genius at all, just bereft of ideas.” Numan’s status as one of pop’s most inventive synth-botherers is itself the result of a happy accident. In the late 70s, he had been signed to Beggars Banquet as a punk artist and released the Tubeway Army album in 1978.

    Nadine Shah Live from the Barbican Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 60 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change. This performance is subject to government guidelines Nadine Shah Talks to Arwa Haider as she prepares to perform her latest album, Kitchen Sink, live for the first time. ‘It’s so long since I wrote this bloody thing, and I haven’t played it live, ever,’ exclaims Nadine Shah, with a generous guffaw. The north-eastern singer-songwriter/musician is referring to her fourth album, Kitchen Sink (the follow-up to 2017’s Mercury Prize-nominated Holiday Destination), which was released in June 2020, when the pandemic had indefinitely paused the gig scene. Kitchen Sink’s splendid, scathing, richly emotive material rightly won widespread acclaim; tonight’s long-awaited performance finally brings it to a live audience – both on site, and via a livestream. ‘I’m so excited that it’s going to be at the Barbican, because if we’re going to play it in one place from start to finish, it had better be somewhere fancy – it has to have a lovely home!’ grins Shah. ‘It’s a real luxury having this much time to plan a gig; you never normally get that. So we’re going to get it sounding great. We’re going to go all out and make it look like a real spectacle, including costume and visuals.’ Certain aspects of Kitchen Sink evoke past decades, including its title, and the hyper-saturated artwork (inspired by Shah’s keen appetite for the Twitter account 70s Dinner Party).

  • Can Music Make You Sick?: Measuring the Price of Musical
    “Musicians often pay a high price for sharing their art with us. Underneath the glow of success can often lie loneliness and exhaustion, not to mention the basic struggles of paying the rent or buying CAN food. Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave raise important questions – and we need to listen to what the musicians have to tell us about their working conditions and their mental health.” Emma Warren (Music Journalist and Author) MUSIC “Singing is crying for grown-ups. To create great songs or play them with meaning its creators reach far into emotion and fragility seeking the communion we demand of music. The world loves music for bridging those lines. However, music’s toll on musicians can leave deep scars. In this important book, Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave investigate the relationship between the wellbeing music brings to society and the wellbeing of those who create. It’s a much SICK? YOU MAKE needed reality check, deglamourising the romantic image of the tortured artist.” Crispin Hunt (Multi-Platinum Songwriter/Record Producer, Chair of the Ivors Academy) It is often assumed that creative people are prone to psychological instability, and that this explains apparent associations between cultural production and mental health problems. In their detailed study of recording and performing artists in the British music industry, Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave turn this view on its head. By listening to how musicians understand and experience their working lives, this book proposes that whilst making music is therapeutic, making a career from music can be traumatic. The authors show how careers based on an all-consuming passion have become more insecure and devalued.
