  • Delicate Affections
    DDDDeeeelllliiiiccccaaaatttteeee AAffffffffeeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnnssss by Adrian Saldanha Let me take you away, for a moment, to a place far from here. A lush green forest meadow grows with patches of exquisite wildflowers blossoming everywhere — a veritable paradise on earth. In the middle of it all is a tiny, crystal clear pond that reflects the light that falls on it. The pond isn't very deep, and you can see the assortment of pebbles at the bottom of it. From that pond stems a wandering stream that ventures further into the wilderness. The grass beneath your feet is thick and a very healthy shade of green. The trees are tall and mighty, a worthy inspiration with their vast grandeur, and between some of the high branches, great rays of sunlight manage to shine through into the forest and create a nearly holy and spiritual glow. The very sight of it is so beautiful and soothing; it makes you wonder how some divine force in the universe could not exist. In the morning, you and I are together. The songbirds sing their tunes melodically, as the world gently wakes up. Despite its great solace, however, you and I are too restless. We quickly amuse ourselves by trying to climb the trees, toss pebbles into the pond, and chase one another throughout the wilderness. We haven't a care in the world, and I find myself unable to admire the calmness of meadow, for I am too busy admiring your beauty and your grace, as you're basked in that gentle morning light. My heart races and skips because I know I am in love, though I dare not say a word, for I know not how you feel yourself.

  • TONY WHYTON Telling Tales: Witnessing and the Jazz Anecdote
    The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism TONY WHYTON Telling tales: witnessing and the jazz anecdote Language as culture is the collective memory bank of a people’s experience in history. Culture is almost indistinguishable from language that makes possible its genesis, growth, banking, articulation and indeed its transmission from one generation to the next. (Thiong’o,1999:289) He lies like an eye-witness… (Volkov, 1981:1) Understanding anecdote The conventional jazz narrative is dominated by mythologies, chronological ‘packaged’ histories, stereotypical imagery and colourful stories that often oversimplify and romanticise issues surrounding the music. Notably, the role of the jazz anecdote is something that forms a part of any jazz musician’s everyday life and yet seems to be the most uncritical of methods used to discuss the music. Anecdote derives from the Greek meaning ‘unpublished’ but, unlike the more fashionable ‘oral history’, the word normally implies an uncritical and less academic approach. Indeed, the semantic connotations of anecdote have allowed it to slip virtually unnoticed, and without critical appraisal, into the canon of jazz history. The boundaries between anecdote and other forms of narrative, such as oral history and testimony, are often blurred; however, I have deliberately chosen to use the term ‘anecdote’ as a descriptor within this article, and all that the term implies, with the aim of raising the semantic stakes. Anecdotal accounts of jazz are an essential ingredient in musicians' interactions and discussions of music. The deeply social nature of the music, its celebrated oral tradition and the obsession with documentation have established anecdotal stories as a primary means of communicating historical information.

  • THIRD WAVE FEMINISM in POP MUSIC by THAILAN PHAM
    ARTICULATING FEMINISM AND POLITICS: THIRD WAVE FEMINISM IN POP MUSIC by THAILAN PHAM (Under the Direction of Jay Hamilton) ABSTRACT This study examines pop music in context of third wave feminism. The songs selected as material text are: Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman,” Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi,” Christina Aguilera’s “Can’t Hold Us Down,” featuring Lil’ Kim, and Missy Elliott’s “Work It.” The songs and corresponding music videos were analyzed for their responses and solutions to the issue of gender inequality. The songs were also examined for contradiction among songs and in relationship to third wave feminism. Results indicated similarities along ethnic lines and visual displays of sexuality rooted in patriarchal gender construction.

  • New York State Stormwater Managment Design Manual
    New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual Chapter 5: Green Infrastructure Practices Section 5.1 Planning for Green Infrastructure: Preservation of Natural Features and Conservation Design Chapter 5: Green Infrastructure Practices This Chapter presents planning and design of green infrastructure practices acceptable for runoff reduction. Green infrastructure planning includes measures for preservation of natural features of the site and reduction of proposed impervious cover. The green infrastructure techniques include practices that enable reductions in the calculated runoff from contributing areas and the required water quality volume. Section 5.1 Planning for Green Infrastructure: Preservation of Natural Features and Conservation Design The first step in planning for stormwater management using green infrastructure is to avoid or minimize land disturbance by preserving natural areas. Development should be strategically located based on the location of resource areas and physical conditions at a site. Also, in finalizing construction, soils must be restored to the original properties and according to the intended function of the proposed practices. Preservation of natural features includes techniques to foster the identification and preservation of natural areas that can be used in the protection of water, habitat and vegetative resources. Conservation design includes laying out the elements of a development project in such a way that the site design takes advantage of a site’s natural features, preserves the more sensitive areas and identifies any site constraints and opportunities to prevent or reduce negative effects of development. The techniques covered in this section are listed in Table 5.1. Table 5.1 Planning Practices for Preservation of Natural Features and Conservation Design Practice Description Preservation of Undisturbed Delineate and place into permanent conservation undisturbed forests, native Areas vegetated areas, riparian corridors, wetlands, and natural terrain.

  • The Quietus | Features | Quietus Charts | Quietus Albums of The
    Quietus Albums Of The Year 2018, In Association With Norman Records Luke Turner , December 5th, 2018 15:19 ‘Best In Show!’ by Lisa Cradduck 2018, in case you missed the memo, marks a decade since The Quietus launched as a digital websheet. As ever, back in January, we probably thought 'what if this is the year that music goes crap?' Thankfully, against a wider climate that just gets ever bleaker, music has rewarded us with the best birthday present it could, for this year's top 100 albums of the year curiously feels like the 'most Quietus' we've ever done. What, exactly, this site is all about remains something of a mystery, even to us after a decade producing it, but that's sort of the point. We're not really fussed by hype and trends or a desperate desire to be focusing on the next hot thing - that sort of thinking is what has got the music media and industry alike into bother again and again. Instead, we focus on the marginal and ignored, the New Weird scenes of the world in a list compiled by the Quietus HQ crew Anna Wood, Christian Eede, Patrick Clarke, John Doran and myself, with help from our various genre columnists. Indeed, it's fair to say that this list is a counterblast to the algorithmic systems of music discovery that increasingly shape our culture, largely to negative effect. When we started The Quietus way back in 2008, that technology was in its infancy and the threat to the leftfield was arguably a conservative media landscape.
