Fashion companies were quick enough to cut expenditures, pare store openings and lean on suppliers to survive the first year of the recession and the start of the credit crisis. But shifting consumer values and brutal economic realities are forcing both the weak and strong to reconsider their reason for being and how they do business. The paradigm in fashion is shifting. Well- established consumer segments are all changing independently and the industry is scrambling to keep up. The proof is everywhere, from First Lady Michelle Obama’s penchant for J.

    Bandologie Interview Daren Taylor, Noah Harmon, Anna Bulbrook, Steven Chen, Mikel Jollett The Airborne Toxic Event 01. Februar 2011, "White Trash", Berlin, 33 Minuten Audio (Original-Interview in Englisch): www.bandologie.de/the_airborne_toxic_event.html Nils Kolonko: Herzlich willkommen bei Bandologie, The Airborne Toxic Event. Ich möchte mich kurz vorstellen; sehr kurz dieses Mal (Anmerkung: wir hatten die Aufnahme aus technischen Gründen ein zweites Mal gestartet) … und auch eure Band, ebenfalls schnell. Ich bin Nils Kolonko und ich habe ein Buch für Musiker geschrieben, das Tipps und Tricks für das Musikbusiness enthält. (Es geht darum), wie man seine Band im Musikbusiness etabliert. Das ist Noah, Bassist von The Airborne Toxic Event; Mikel Jollett (Sänger) von The Airborne Toxic Event. Du (Mikel) hast die Band im Jahr 2006 gegründet und dann ein Team aus Musikern aufgebaut. Euer Debüt-Album wurde im Jahr 2008 veröffentlicht. Nachdem ihr ungefähr 300 Gigs lang getourt seid, habt ihr eine ausverkaufte Show in der Walt Disney Concert Hall gespielt. Auf dem Weg dorthin habt ihr Lollapalooza (eins der größten Festivals der USA) und eine Menge anderer Gigs gespielt. Und es wurde ein Dokumentarfilm über eure Band, direkt nach eurem Debütalbum, gedreht. Bald kommt 1 www.bandologie.de | © 2011 | Interview: „Wie man seine Band im internationalen Musikbusiness etabliert“ euer zweites Album … oh, ich habe noch was vergessen: Ihr habt ungefähr 300.000 Kopien eures Debütalbums verkauft, was „ziemlich gut“ für ein Debüt ist. Also, fangen wir mit der ersten Frage an: Im Sommer 2006 hast du (Mikel) The Airborne Toxic Event gegründet. Du hast ein großartiges, musikalisches Team, sowie Partnerschaften zu eurem Management und eurem Label, aufgebaut.

  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

  • Simple Minds, the Greatest Hits Tour
    MERCOLEDì 19 MARZO 2014 Il carismatico Jim Kerr e la sua band torneranno in italia quest'estate con il loro The Greatest Hits Tour, percorrendo tutta la penisola: saranno infatti a Taormina, Molfetta, Roma, Ferrara, Lignano Sabbiadoro e Torino. Simple Minds, The Greatest Hits Dopo il trionfo a febbraio in un Alcatraz gremito, anche nei mesi estivi i Tour fan italiani potranno ascoltare dal vivo i più grandi successi di uno dei gruppi che - con cinque acclamatissimi album - ha segnato la storia del Quest'estate dal vivo in Italia rock. LA REDAZIONE Nati sul finire degli anni '70 ed esplosi a livello mondiale negli anni '80, gli scozzesi Simple Minds hanno scritto alcune tra le migliori pagine della musica anni '80 diventando, dopo l'uscita del capolavoro New Gold Dream, vero e proprio inno new wave, uno tra i gruppi più popolari dell'epoca. [email protected] SPETTACOLINEWS.IT Scopritori di suoni, innovatori e rivoluzionari, tra avant-garde ed art-rock, pop ed ambient, i Simple Minds hanno raggiunto numerose volte le vette delle album charts con dischi come Life In A Day, Real To Real Cacophony, New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84), Sons And Fascination/Sister Fellings Calling, Empire And Dance. Album considerati pietre miliari della storia del rock, e contenuti in uno speciale box-set pubblicato nel 2012. Questi cinque dischi hanno avuto un impressionante impatto sulla scena musicale dell'epoca, incrociando per primi la new-wave con accenni di elettronica, e continuando ad influenzare negli anni band come Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, The Killers fino ai più recenti The Horrors, a dimostrazione di quanto siano ancora forti gli echi dei primi cinque lavori targati Simple Minds.
