    SILICA Releases New Video RI-based SILICA has finally released their long-awaited visual to the hit song “Wind-Up Doll” and it lived up to fans’ expectations. SILICA is known for their unique and creative approach to pop rock music, which has always helped them stand out as a band. The lead singer, Lauren Cloutier, has a deep role in band’s creative process as the main writer and director for SILICA’S pieces. “Wind-Up Doll” is very easy to listen to, and has a soft vibe that makes it the perfect tune to listen to during long rides or nights where time feels like it has stopped. The lyrics will certainly touch home for many listeners; it describes being vulnerable to others’ mental abuse, which many of us can relate to. The visual is well put together and certainly helps show the true talent Cloutier has as an artist and how well SILICA works together as a unit. For information: thisissilica.com. Check out the video for “Wind-Up Doll” here: youtube.com/watch?v=dLbSkRGJ5fo&feature=youtu.be Get Excited, Mallrats!: Strip Mall is working on an album Despite the quarantine, local musicians are still working to put out new music.

Strip Mall is a newer PVD-based emo band out of Warwick, Rhode Island. The band consists of three members: Vinnie Ortez, Jack Anderson and Nick English.

  • Joy Comes from Within Preacher: Rev
    Joy Comes From Within Preacher: Rev. Lauren Lorincz Date: December 13, 2015 11:31 “Joy Comes From Within” Pilgrim Church UCC, December 13, 2015, (Luke 3:7-18) Third Sunday of Advent It’s commonly accepted that people only have six emotions we’re capable of feeling. Take a moment to consider how you feel right here, right now. Tired is not an emotion just in case that’s your first thought. Psychologists would say that we can feel: happy, sad, surprised, afraid, disgusted, or angry. Hopefully not many of us are angry or disgusted at the moment, but it’s fascinating that our range of emotions isn’t as expansive as we may assume. When I was doing Clinical Pastoral Education, we had to identify our feelings using only four emotions: glad, sad, bad, or mad. Those were our only choices—and we were expected as chaplains to identify how we felt before and after every interaction with patients. Glad, sad, bad, or mad and ask ourselves why did we feel that way. If we had to identify John the Baptist’s emotional state as we just heard in the Gospel of Luke it would be mad. I don’t know about you, but I don’t typically call folks “broods of vipers” when I’m feeling glad. John was legitimately mad—people were being terrible to each other and life was difficult enough without people making each other’s lives even worse. He’s out there in the wilderness telling people to take better care of one other, what’s wrong with you people?! If you have two coats, share with someone who doesn’t have a coat at all.

Abstract Using Antoine Hennion’s “anti-musicology”, this research project proposes a methodology for studying music production that empowers production choices as the primary analytical tool. It employs this methodology to analyze Kesha’s Rainbow, Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer, and St. Vincent’s Masseduction according to four, encompassing groups of production elements: musical elements, lyrical elements, personal elements, and narrative elements. All three albums were critical and commercial successes, and analyzing their respective choices offers valuable insight into the practice of successful producers that could not necessarily be captured by methodologies traditionally used for studying production, such as the interview.

  • The National and Queens of the Stone Age Are Confirmed for Northside
    2013-11-26 13:15 CET THE NATIONAL AND QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ARE CONFIRMED FOR NORTHSIDE THE POPULAR AMERICANS ARE ADDED TO THE LINE-UP FOR THE DANISH FESTIVAL ALONG WITH FRANZ FERDINAND, LUCY LOVE, AND TURBOWEEKEND The National are an exceptional band in every way. Composed of two sets of brothers in the shape of Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Bryan and Scott Devendorf as well as front man Matt Berninger, the band have released albums on their own terms since 2001, which slowly but surely have transferred them from critics’ favourites to superstars. With “Boxer”, The National found their own audience, which has grown in pace with the following releases “High Violet” and most recently “Trouble Will Find Me”. In Denmark, their popularity has risen not least due to their concerts, in which The National walk the tightrope between the dark and introverted and the aggressive and forward with an elegance, which is worthy of a tightrope walker. The National was one of the most popular band wishes for NorthSide 2014 and we are really looking forward to meet them in Ådalen. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age is always working on at least five different projects, so when he’s not playing with Eagles of Death Metal or Them Crooked Vultures, he’s off producing records for Arctic Monkeys or working with UNKLE, Biffy Clyro, or The Strokes. But he is never better than when he is in front of his own band, who can be experienced for the first time at NorthSide this summer.

    Nick Oliveri - interview - Music | thevine.com.au http://www.thevine.com.au/music/articles/nick-oliveri-_-interview.aspx Nick Oliveri - interview Posted in MUSIC (http://www.thevine.com.au/music/) by Andrew (http://www.thevine.com.au/member/andrew/) on Oct 07, 06:00AM (#) Rock wildman Nick Oliveri is known as the (once) more openly maniacal half of Queens Of The Stone Age. Anyone who has followed his career more closely knows that the 2004 dethroning could n’t stop him. Not only did he play for desert rock icons Kyuss before joining Josh Homme in QOTSA, but since then he’s been involved in some searing punk acts (Moistboyz, The Knives, The Dwarves, The Uncontrollable), as well as dropping in on the Desert Sessions and Eagles Of Death Metal albums. And let’s not forget his psychotic primary project Mondo Generator. Earlier this year, he visited alone – guitar in hand – ready to wreck Australian stages in an acoustic setting. Yes, Nick Oliveri has unplugged. No one really expected dreamy finger-picking and soothing melodies, but he made certain that they didn’t leave without seeing the whites of his eyes – playing screaming covers of brawny tunes from his own projects and some punk classics. Then he released an album of them, the raw, ragged Death Acoustic . He’s already back, so big is the love. It’s no coincidence that his acoustic tour crosses paths with long-time partners-in-crime The Dwarves but he’s achieved a feat in getting Blackie from cult heroes The Hard-Ons to try his hand at bare strumming as well.

  • The Attacks on Paris: Lessons Learned
    White Paper THE ATTACKS ON PARIS: LESSONS LEARNED A Presentation of Findings Courtesy of HSAC and the Paris Public Safety Delegation June 2016 Prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC 2 Preface The purpose of this white paper is to document the findings of the Los Angeles delegation that traveled to Paris in April 2016, to meet with key members of the Parisian law enforcement and intelligence communities, as they shared their lessons learned from the attacks on Paris in November 2015. The November 13 attacks were the deadliest on French soil since WWII. The terrorists targeted the Stade de France, restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements and the Bataclan concert hall. In a little over three hours, the nine attackers killed 130 and wounded 368. The Paris law enforcement community did a commendable job responding to coordinated, simultaneous attacks. The death toll likely would have been much higher if not for several key decisions made immediately after the attacks began. The Los Angeles delegation returned with a deeper understanding of the Parisian response and how these lessons learned can be best applied in the Southern California region. These findings are summarized in this "unclassified” white paper and presented to local public safety agencies in the Los Angeles area. This white paper was prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC in coordination with the Los Angeles delegation at the request of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). 3 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................................
