These Matrices Display the Savings on Boxed Sets from Yourmusic.Com These matrices display the savings on boxed sets from YourMusic.Com. I checked several online vendors for pricing, including BestBuy.Com, DeepDiscountCD.Com, and CDConnection.Com, and found that almost universally, the best online prices came from Amazon.Com, if you signed up for their CD Club, so rather than expend extra effort for higher-priced vendors, I opted to use Amazon as a "best case" comparison. Even then, YourMusic.Com beat Amazon by a large margin on the vast majority of titles. The pricing I've provided from Amazon for comparison is current as of February 5, 2005. I only used pricing from Amazon itself (or its CD Club where cheaper). I did not use pricing from the "used and new from $x.xx" affiliated sellers. Yes, you may be able to get this merchandise cheaper by buying used merchandise on Ebay, Half.Com, or Amazon, but that's not really a fair comparison. I wanted to compare new merchandise from an established vendor only. The number in parentheses behind the title is the number of discs in the boxed set (or at least the number that YourMusic.Com uses to calculate their price). The leftmost column of prices is from Amazon.Com; the second column is YourMusic.Com's price; the third column is the raw dollar savings; and the last column lists the YourMusic.Com price as a percentage of Amazon's price (lower means greater savings). NOTE: The YourMusic.Com prices assume you got in at the special $4.99 rate, not the $5.99 rate. If you missed out on that deal, you will still see extensive savings, just not as much. Add $1 per disc to the YourMusic.Com total. The YourMusic.Com prices include shipping, but not sales tax (where applicable). With Amazon, usually if your order is $50 or more, shipping is free, so the overall price comparison is valid. The first listing lists all of the box sets in semi-alphabetical order. The second listing is sorted by raw dollar savings, highest first. The last listing is sorted by percentage, lowest first (greatest savings). I hope you find this useful!

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.

  • ​Judas Priest Till Rättvik Och Linköping
    Judas Priest 2019-10-23 10:00 CEST JUDAS PRIEST TILL RÄTTVIK OCH LINKÖPING Det finns få heavy metal-band som har lyckats nå samma höjder som Judas Priest under deras 50-åriga karriär. Deras närvaro och inflytande är mer aktuell än någonsin, vilket tydligt framgår i albumet ”Firepower” från 2018, som gick direkt in på #5 på albumtopplistan! Den 13 juni spelar de på Dalhalla i Rättvik och dagen därpå, den 14 juni, spelar de på Saab Arena i Linköping! Biljetter släpps tisdag den 29 oktober kl 10.00 via LiveNation.se Judas Priest bildades ursprungligen 1969 i Birmingham, England, ett område som många anser är födelseorten för heavy metal. Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing och Ian Hill kom att bli bandets kärna (tillsammans med flera olika trummisar under åren) och de kom tillsammans att ändra synen på heavy metal. Man kan säga att Judas Priest helt enkelt ägde 80-talet då de var i en klass för sig när det kom till ren metal och släppte tidlösa, klassiska album som ”British Steel”, ”Point of Entry”, ”Screaming for Vengeance"och "Defenders of the Faith". Dessa låtar blev inspirationen till otaliga heavy metal-hitar inklusive "Breaking the Law", "Living After Midnight", "Heading Out to the Highway" och "You've Got Another Thing Coming". 2010 tilldelades bandet en Grammy Award för ”Best Metal Performance” och under 2017 blev de nominerade till Rock and Roll Hall of Fame och gjorde sig redo att släppa ett nytt studioalbum, ”Firepower” (producerat av Andy Sneap och Tom Allom). Albumet blev en global succé och kritikerrosad och bandet åkte på den utsålda världsturnén ”JUDAS PRIEST - FIREPOWER 2018 World Tour”.
