Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Live Review: Foals @ Manchester Arena Foals tentatively re-invent themselves as a staple of the arena-rock circuit By Jack Davies, Deputy Editor (2017) Thursday 25 February 2016 Source: Flickr ★★★☆☆ Oxford rockers Foals are a band that has been well-recognised for their live show prowess in recent years. A shed full of ‘Best Live Act’ wins and nominations have come their way in the past five years from the likes of NME, Q magazine and the Brit Awards for their electric and intensely energetic performances. But the release of the band’s latest (and fourth) studio album, What Went Down, has seen the rock band enter the brand new, potentially intimidating territory of arena-rock. Prior to this, Foals had typically been a band that played only the largest academy venues and music halls across the country. So when I caught the band on a Saturday night at the massive, 21,000-capacity Manchester Arena, it was a case of unchartered waters for the indie outfit. There is no doubting the band’s ability to infuse their sets with energy and vigour. As indifferent as if they were playing to 46 pissed-up teenagers in a student union bar in Hull, they roared into life unperturbed by the massive crowd with new track ‘Snake Oil’, before rattling off two old favourites in ‘Olympic Airways’ and ‘My Number’ (the latter of which prompted 20,000 spectators to dance and jump about ecstatically). Gradually, however, as the set progressed, it started to become apparent that Foals, as adept as they are as musicians, and as big as their sound is, are still finding their feet as an arena-rock outfit. http://nouse.co.uk/2016/02/25/live-review-foals-manchester-arena Archived 11 Dec 2018 11:03:48 Nouse Web Archives Live Review: Foals @ Manchester Arena Page 2 of 4 Source: Press Frontman Yannis Philippakis’ vocals were on-point throughout the evening, but a large chunk of the middle of their set seemed, well, just a bit uncharacteristically flat. Standout single from the new album, ‘Mountain at My Gates’ was met with universal approval by the gig-goers, but as Foals’ performance continued, even some of their more classic tunes that old fans adore, such as the usually high-octane ‘Red Socks Pugie’ and the atmospheric ‘Spanish Sahara’ were met with an uneasy sense of indifference. Perhaps this can only be put down to the inevitably large numbers of new fans the band have attracted in recent years. The theory that this mid-set lull was due to the multitude of new fans the band have attracted since the release of their third album, Holy Fire, was arguably confirmed by the unanimously riotous reaction the band received as they launched into the set-closing ‘Inhaler’, for many the song that first attracted them to Foals in 2013. It seems that this song has special powers; regardless of the venue, its sheer ability to incite people to pogo like a nutjob can make even the largest arena seem like a 150-capacity, underground sweatbox. “[‘Inhaler’] can make even the largest arena seem like an underground sweatbox T”he band concluded their show with an encore that included ‘What Went Down’ (basically the new version of ‘Inhaler’ for their latest album), and ‘Two Steps, Twice’, the latter seemingly the only nod from a largely newcomer audience to the fact that the band released two albums of good material prior to 2013, as it was danced and sung-along to religiously. Clearly, Foals have got potential to establish themselves properly as an arena band in the near future; some might say they already have following a sell-out arena tour. They’re being touted as future festival headliners and it’s understandable why. But it seems that they must hone their sound to suit larger audiences a bit more if they’re to reach the zeniths of live performance they established in smaller venues earlier in their career. http://nouse.co.uk/2016/02/25/live-review-foals-manchester-arena Archived 11 Dec 2018 11:03:48 Nouse Web Archives Live Review: Foals @ Manchester Arena Page 3 of 4 Most Read Discussed 1.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    Archives and Special Collections Mansfield Library, University of Montana Missoula MT 59812-9936 Email: [email protected] Telephone: (406) 243-2053 This transcript represents the nearly verbatim record of an unrehearsed interview. Please bear in mind that you are reading the spoken word rather than the written word. Oral History Number: 473-009 Interviewee: John Fleming Interviewer: Breanna McCabe Date of Interview: November 2, 2019 Project: Missoula Music History Oral History Project Breanna McCabe: John, I’m just gonna have you start by saying and spelling your first and last name. John Fleming: John Fleming, J-o-h-n F-l-e-m-i-n-g. BM: We are rolling. Hello, I’m Breanna McCabe. It's Saturday, November 2, 2019, and with me here at the Mansfield Library on the University of Montana campus is John Fleming. John is the proprietor of Ear Candy Music, which opened September 21, 1997, and is now located at 624 South Higgins Avenue here in Missoula. John, thanks so much for being here. JF: You're welcome. BM: Please introduce yourself and share a little bit about your background. JF: Well, my name is John Fleming. I moved to Missoula in 1991 to attend grad school, and I got my ABT degree, all but the thesis, so didn't quite get there. Then kicked around for a bit, got a job at Rockin’ Rudy’s, and then a friend approached me about opening our own store. Figured if I didn't take the chance, then it would never happen. So, I sold my 1958 Chrysler Windsor and used that money to purchase some product and liquidated my personal record collection—well, not entirely, but a lot of them—and that was my initial inventory.

    DREAM SPINNER By Kristen Ashley Teaser Chapters Prologue Right at Him Hattie It happened on the opening night of the Revue. I knew it when I finished my dance. And I looked for him. They were there, all the guys (and Evie) to cheer us on. To support us. But when my dance was done, I didn’t look to my friend Evie. I didn’t look to Lottie’s man (and my friend) Mo. I didn’t look to Evie’s guy (and also my friend) Mag. I further didn’t look to Ryn’s fella (and yes, my friend too) Boone. Or Auggie, who should be Pepper’s, but he was not. I looked right at him. Right at him. At Axl. And he was looking at me. Of course, I’d just been dancing. But it was more. Because I’d picked that song. And it became even more when my eyes went right to his. I saw how his face changed when I did this, and I didn’t know him all that well, but I still read it. Page 1 Dream Spinner Teaser Chapters ©2021 Kristen Ashley Not to be distrubuted or reproduced without permission I knew exactly what it meant, the way he was looking at me, and the fact, after I’d finished dancing to that song, I’d looked right at him. And what it meant was… I was in trouble. Chapter One Ivan the Terrible Hattie “It went well.” “Tens of thousands of dollars on teachers, leotards, pointe shoes, payin’ for gas to drive you to class, recitals, competitions, and you’re sittin’ here tryin’ to convince me all that was worth it seein’ as you got the big promotion from being a stripper to being a burlesque dancer.” “It’s not burlesque exactly.
