A: They’ve both had a dramatic face-lift. Southampton University Students’ Union (SUSU) is putting the finish- ing touches to a £5.6 million makeover that will offer three new bars, a cinema, upgraded food serv- ices and a bigger, shinier concourse. The feather in the cap of the devel- opment is a new nightclub - ‘The CUBE’. The plan to upgrade the facilities at SUSU has been in the pipeline for some years as the original building was built in 1965. Recent activity follows a memo circulated in late 2000 noting “...this building, partic- ularly the services, are long past their sell-by date...”. Numerous funding meetings and project pro- posals later, the University agreed to invest £4.3m with the Union pay- ing the remaining £1.3m. The com- prehensive redevelopment will increase the size of the concourse, which will open onto a new glass staircase providing access to all floors. There will be a larger recep- tion area and an Internet café enabling students to keep in touch while in the Union. What was the ballroom has been transformed into a pub-style bar - ‘The Bridge’, which will feature bar food and comfy chairs to create a relaxed, Brian Stevens pipe-smoking atmosphere. www.wessexscene.co.uk 1872 - WESSEX-freshers 2002 23/9/02 6:00 pm Page 2 PAGE 2 WESSEX WESSEX Wessexscene.co.uk SCENE SCENE Wessexscene.co.uk PAGE 3 The Wessex Scene is the Student’s Union’s in-house publication, writ- The Latest Freshers Week ten and edited entirely by you, the What is the students.

  • Recording the Vines Issue 47
    FEATURE To say that The Vines have been riding an emotional rock ’n’ roll rollercoaster in recent years is an understatement of Amanda Vanstone- like proportions. Since 2002 The Vines have gone from nowhere to superstardom – and back – in record time. When Craig Nicholls made his now famous – and then all-too-familiar – spectacle of himself at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney a couple of years ago, the end of the band seemed as certain as it was tragic. Punters who walked away down Parramatta Rd after the show that night must have figured they’d never see (or perhaps want to see) the band ever again. That was two years ago… and yet now, by some miracle, the band is back… in black… or so it would seem. The new Vines album, Vision Valley, comes in one colour – black. The Got ‘em in black... got any blacker? cover artwork’s ‘vision’ seems to almost cast a pall over the band’s Lazarus-like return, a choice that could easily be construed (by fine arts graduates, perhaps) as a deeply melancholic statement of regret and remorse (along the lines of Joy division’s Closer)… or maybe they simply had no money for the artwork, who knows. But whatever the reason, this sombre exterior belies a vastly more colourful musical landscape that RECORDING can be attributed in no small part to Wayne Connolly’s production values. In many ways Vision Valley is a celebration of life itself; a simple yet subtle return to form for a band that had nowhere to go except, well… nowhere.

  • Instructor Manual for Joe Stuessy & Scott Lipscomb's Rock and Roll
    Instructor Manual for Joe Stuessy & Scott Lipscomb’s Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development (edited for use with the 7th edition text) Jay Dorfman Boston University Natalie Zelensky Colby College Scott D. Lipscomb University of Minnesota Dorfman, Zelensky, & Lipscomb Instructor Manual Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development Stuessy & Lipscomb © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. p. ii Dorfman, Zelensky, & Lipscomb Instructor Manual Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development Stuessy & Lipscomb Preface The purpose of this Instructor Manual is to facilitate the process of designing and teaching a rock history course using the text Rock music: Its history and stylistic development (7th edition, Prentice-Hall). In addition, the following pages provide significant food for thought, both for beginning instructors and for those who are quite experienced in teaching such a course. The following pages provide much more than a simple synopsis of the textbook content, though that forms an important component of the material. Rather, the Instructor Manual contains many innovative ideas to stimulate students – both inside and outside the classroom – and to help them develop an intimate understanding of the genre of music that, arguably, has had the greatest musical, cultural, and sociological impact during the twentieth and twenty- first century. With the exception of the Introduction, which provides a general set of teaching tips and suggests a means of structuring the course content, each chapter of the present text is subdivided into a consistent set of sections. The chapter overview provides a detailed outline of the content of each chapter, highlighting some of the most significant points addressed and, at times, providing supplemental information that will be of interest to students and instructors.
