I joined a lot of clubs when I was a freshman. I had an apprenticeship at WHRW, playing hip hop songs under the guidance of two metalheads. I got a bid at a coed frat. I went to a BU Acres meeting and learned the logistics of being a farmhand before I realized I didn’t have any pairs of shoes I was willing to get dirty. I even went to some GIMs just to get the free pizza. But for all the listservs that I’m on, and for all the meetings I showed up for, the Free Press soon became my first priority. What kept me coming back was the freedom: we are the only completely free-formatted, stu- dent-run publication at Binghamton University. Our mission remains to bring our readers a relevant and informative analysis of art and current events, and to foster the growth of our writers and their individual voices. I’m happy to announce that we’ve combined both IMPACT magazine and the Free Press newspaper into one publication to make our October 2015 issue. Mycah brings us a thoughtful and informative news article about a ferocious South African coalition called the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit. Maya shares her experiences navigating the NYC subway. Anonymous gets high, goes to class, and writes about it for us. Deirdre bears all in her glimpse of what it’s like being a woman. Grant gives us a tasty review of the new Deerhunter album, Fading Frontier, and Max muses on Told Slant’s album Still Water. This year we were blessed to have such an enthusiastic, promising swath of fresh e-board members and staff writers. Meeting and working with them has truly been a pleasure. That being said, we hope you enjoy our October 2015 issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.

  • Lonnie Holley a Voice from Another Time
    For Immediate Release 14 November 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Lonnie Holley A voice from another time NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — Artist and musician Lonnie Holley recorded his first album in 2012 at age 62 after making home recordings for more than two decades. Holley’s music, like his art, defies classification — haunting vocals, keyboards, and new renditions of songs with every performance. He has collaborated with musicians such as Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, Bill Callahan, and Bon Iver. Holley’s medium is the moment. On Saturday, December 2, at 8pm, he’s here with a new band, playing new arrangements and new songs: you’ll only hear it once. Currently featured in the exhibition Thumbs Up For the Mothership, Alabama-born artist Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity since 1979. Born in 1950 as the 7th of 27 children, his art and music came out of struggle, hardship, and, perhaps most importantly, furious curiosity and biological necessity. His art has manifested itself in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound. Self-taught, he started carving sculptures from discarded sandstone when he was 29, eventually broadening his material to anything and everything, often collected on long rambling walks. These objects, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, combine into narrative pieces that commemorate places, people, and events, often delving into issues of ecology and social justice. His sculptures exist almost as three-dimensional sketches for ideas and stories, influencing the songs he writes. Similar to the spontaneous nature of his sculptures, Holley’s music is somewhere between — and perhaps beyond — Sun Ra and spoken-word poetry.

  • Barocke Dunkelheit
    # 2019/02 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2019/02/barocke-dunkelheit »Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?« - Das neue Album von Deerhunter Barocke Dunkelheit Von Maik Bierwirth Das achte Album der Indierock-Band Deerhunter klingt nach Baroque Pop aus den sechziger Jahren. Bradford Cox und seiner Band Deerhunter ist mit »Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?« ein kurzweiliges Album gelungen. Auf dem achten Longplayer der Band aus Athens, Georgia, verfeinern Anleihen aus dem Baroque Pop den versponnenen, stets von den Sixties inspirierten Indierock der Gruppe. Bereits bei der Vorabsingle »Death in Midsummer« dominiert nicht die Gitarre, sondern ein markantes Cembalo (gespielt von der walisischen Musikerin und Produzentin Cate Le Bon), das so klingt, als wolle sich die Band in Richtung von The Left Banke verbeugen, deren Popsongs mit Cembalo und Streicherarrangements vor gut 50 Jahren erstmals das Attribut »barock« zugesprochen wurde. Daraus entstand ein ganzes Genre aus mal opulentem, mal subtilerem Orchestereinsatz in der Musik zwischen Mitte der sechziger und Mitte der siebziger Jahre, wie man ihn bei zahlreichen Stücken der Beatles und Beach Boys aus dieser Zeit hören kann, aber ebenso bei psychedelischen Rockbands wie den Zombies und den Kinks. Scott Walker prägte auf seinen Soloalben ab 1967 einen besonderen Kammerpop und reizte die orchestralen Möglichkeiten in der Popmusik wohl am weitesten (und brillantesten) aus. Im Übrigen ist diese Spielart nicht zu verwechseln mit all den grauenvollen Anbiederungsversuchen aus der kommerziellen klassischen Musik in Richtung Populärkultur, Stichwort »Classic meets Rock«. Der Begriff Baroque Pop als retrospektive Stilbezeichnung setzte sich indessen erst Jahrzehnte später durch. Der morbide Titel des Albums liefert das Leitmotiv für alle Texte.

  • De Første Fantastiske Navne Er Klar Til Northside 2018
    2017-09-12 12:30 CEST De første fantastiske navne er klar til NorthSide 2018 Billetsalget til den niende udgave af NorthSide startede i fredags, og allerede nu er nogle af de første hovednavne klar til næste års festival. Det er fem stærke og højaktuelle amerikanske navne, der spænder vidt og samtidig udstikker en spændende retning for næste års program. - Det går rigtig hurtigt lige nu, siger talsmand for NorthSide, John Fogde, og fortsætter: - Efterspørgslen efter Early Bird-billetter var meget højere end i tidligere år, og der har i det hele taget været meget større interesse for NorthSide siden sommerens udsolgte festival, end vi har set før. Derfor er vi også virkelig glade for, at vi allerede nu kan sætte fem fantastiske navne på plakaten. Så selvom 2017 var noget helt særligt, kan jeg allerede nu garantere, at der er masser at glæde sig til i 2018. De fem første navne til NorthSide 2018 er: The National Den højaktuelle amerikanske gruppe har netop udsendt sit syvende album, ”Sleep Well Beast”, der som de foregående plader er blevet rost til skyerne af anmeldere både i udlandet og herhjemme, hvor BT, Soundvenue og GAFFA gav fem stjerner. Det samme var tilfældet, da The National tidligere på året var hovednavn på Haven Festival, hvor GAFFA også tildelte fem stjerner efter koncerten. Festivalen er skabt i samarbejde med Dessner-brødrene fra bandet og viser, at The National har et helt særligt forhold til Danmark. Vi skal dog helt tilbage til 2014, siden de sidst gæstede NorthSide, så derfor er det en kæmpe fornøjelse, at de har sagt ja til at vende tilbage til næste år.

It’s been another fun year at CD Central! Certainly one filled with ups and downs (thinking about the Limestone road project here) but the bottom line is we’ve enjoyed bringing some great music to Lexington, both live and on disc. This booklet is our annual recap of some of the year’s brightest musical highlights. One of the great things we can look back at this year is our participation in Local First Lexington. All of the members of LFL are locally-owned, independent businesses who do great things for our community. These are the businesses that make Lexington a unique place among a sea of national chain stores. Please make it one of your New Year’s resolutions to “Think Local First” when making your buying decisions in the coming year. It feels good to shop local and it makes Lexington a better place.
