Joco Cruise 2017 2017 Saturday, March 4 to Saturday, March 11, 2017 on Holland America’s Westerdam WELCOME Hello and welcome to the JoCo Cruise! As we get underway, I invite you to take a moment to think about what’s happening in the place you usually live when you are not living on a cruise ship. Is it cold and snowy there? Is there a deplorable lack of fruity drinks, hot tubs, and karaoke? Are your co-workers ruefully reading your out-of-office replies and feeling intensely jealous? Probably. Who cares! None of these things are your problem anymore, because you’re here with us. I won’t lie: it’s no small amount of pressure to feel responsible for your good time this week. Admittedly, the odds are in our favor: we have this giant cruise ship all to ourselves, and an amazing lineup of performers and guests. But the thing that always gives me comfort, when I wake up at 3 a.m. from an anxiety dream involving some rather obvious water imagery, is that the Sea Monkeys are an inspiring community of warm and wonderful people. We work hard all year to put together a cruise that we hope will live up to your energy and enthusiasm. Every year, YOU amaze US. We will do our best to return the favor. Thank you for being here. — JONATHAN COULTON 2 JOCO CRUISE CODE OF CONDUCT Be excellent to each other. We expect that every- Don’t steal things.

    Welcome back listeners: locating nostalgia, domesticity and shared listening practices in Contemporary horror podcasting.

The origin of this thesis is, like many others before it, born from a sense of disjuncture between what I heard about something, and what I experienced of it. The ‘something’ in question is what is increasingly, and I believe somewhat erroneously, termed as ‘new audio culture’. By this I refer to all scholarly and popular talk and activity concerning iPods, MP3s, headphones, and podcasts: everything which we may understand as being tethered to an older history of audio-media, yet which is more often defined almost exclusively by its digital parameters.

In 1983, she co-founded ‘Til Tuesday, a new-wave band that found success with its first album, Voices Carry. The title track became an MTV favorite, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, propelling Mann and the band into the spotlight. After releasing three albums with the group, she broke up the band and embarked on a solo career. Her first solo album, Whatever, was a more introspective, folk-tinged effort than ‘Til Tuesday’s albums, and received uniformly positive reviews upon its release in the summer of 1993. Mann’s song “Save Me” from the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia was nominated for an Academy® Award and a Grammy®.

  • From Voodoo to Viruses: the Evolution of the Zombie in Twentieth Century Popular Culture
    From Voodoo to Viruses: The Evolution of the Zombie in Twentieth Century Popular Culture By Margaret Twohy Adviser: Dr. Bernice Murphy A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Degree of Master’s of Philosophy in Popular Literature Trinity College Dublin Dublin, Ireland October 2008 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore the evolutionary path the zombie has followed in 20th Century popular culture. Additionally, this thesis will examine the defining characteristics of the zombie as they have changed through its history. Over the course of the last century and edging into the 21st Century, the zombie has grown in popularity in film, videogames, and more recently in novels. The zombie genre has become a self-inspiring force in pop culture media today. Films inspired a number of videogames, which in turn, supplied the film industry with a resurgence of inspirations and ideas. Combined, these media have brought the zombie to a position of greater prominence in popular literature. Additionally, within the growing zombie culture today there is an over-arcing viral theme associated with the zombie. In many films, games, and novels there is a viral cause for a zombie outbreak. Meanwhile, the growing popularity of zombies and its widening reach throughout popular culture makes the genre somewhat viral-like as well. Filmmakers, authors and game designers are all gathering ideas from one another causing the some amount of self- cannibalisation within the genre. 3 Table of Contents Introduction 4 Chapter One 7 Evolution of the Dead Chapter Two 21 Contaminants, Viruses, and Possessions—Oh my!
