The Fantasticks BY: Rory Kliewer and Jackson Grant This week, two of us from the Rhino Report took up a mission to check out the nearly completed (or, by the time this is published, finished) autumnal musical theatre production of our neighbors across the field, Washburn High School. The Fantasticks, made up of a relatively small but brilliant cast and taken over by spectacular student managers and directors, will be, from what we saw, a truly fantastic show. The actors, which we witnessed at a tech rehearsal, portrayed characters beautifully, and even just testing mics had a definite air of both fun and professionalism. And again, from what we witnessed, the production will be an outstanding success. (Story and interviews continued on Page 3) Rumors of Feminist Student Bullying: It’s WRONG!

  • Embodiment, Phenomenology and Listener Receptivity of Nirvana’S in Utero
    ‘WE FEED OFF EACH OTHER’: EMBODIMENT, PHENOMENOLOGY AND LISTENER RECEPTIVITY OF NIRVANA’S IN UTERO Christopher Martin A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Jeremy Wallach Becca Cragin Angela Nelson ii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Despite the fact that listening to recorded music is a predominant form of human interaction with music in general, music scholarship often continues to classify listening as a passive form of reception in comparison to the “activity” of actual music performance. This thesis presents the idea that music listening is actually an embodied and agentive form of reception that varies according to different listeners, their listening strategies, and other surrounding contexts. In order to provide detailed analysis of this assertion, Nirvana’s 1993 album In Utero is the primary recording that this thesis examines, arguing that the album contains specific embodied properties that ultimately allow for embodied forms of listening and responses within the musical experience. Phenomenological reasoning and scholarship from popular music studies, history, cultural studies, and other humanities fields contribute to the central argument. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe an oversized thank you to the following friends and family for their support: Pat and Priscilla Martin, Veronica Martin, Linda Coleson, and my colleagues in the Popular Culture department. Aaron Weinacht and Patrick Blythe earn special thanks for their continuing willingness to participate in arguments and theories that, as always, range from prescient to ridiculous. Kandace Virgin also deserves my thanks and love for patiently tolerating my stubbornness and need to constantly work ahead, as well as my other idiosyncrasies.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 02.11.2018 Escape The Fate im Februar erneut auf Tour Auf ihrem neuen Album „I Am Human“ setzen Escape The Fate immer wieder neue Akzente. Die Fachleute von metal.de verglichen es in ihrer Rezension mit einer Pralinenschachtel: Wer auf Schokolade scharf sei, der freue sich über jede Art von Füllung und habe mit dieser Platte sehr viel Spaß. Ein Urteil, dem man sich uneingeschränkt anschließen kann. Egal, ob hier Metalcore-Bretter rausgehauen oder Hardrock-Anleihen gesucht werden, ob akustisch ein Gang zurückgeschaltet oder doch das heftige Riff gespielt wird – mit ihrer stilistischen Vielfalt treffen die Metal-Legenden aus Nevada stets den richtigen Sound. Aber das ist man von den Jungs schon lange gewohnt. Keine Platte von Escape The Fate klang bislang wie der Vorgänger. Das lag keinesfalls nur am wechselhaften Lineup, das inzwischen sowieso erfreulich stabil ist. Nein, die Band lebt genau davon, sich auf keine Spielart des kreativen Hart-Schnell-Laut festlegen zu lassen und neugierig auf alles Neue zu sein. Dieses Mal seien sie aber über alle Grenzen hinausgegangen, erklärte Sänger Craig Mabbitt. Escape The Fate sind eben ein wenig wie ihre Heimatstadt Las Vegas: Überbordend, exzessiv, fordernd, leuchtend und hinter jeder Ecke lauert die nächste Überraschung. Die Jungs versprechen jedem das Glück und machen auf alle Fälle Spaß. Das konnte man bereits Anfang des Jahres feststellen, als die Band zum zehnjährigen Jubiläum ihres Durchbruchsalbums „This War Is Ours“ bei uns auf Tour war und nebenbei ein paar der neuen Songs live präsentierte.
