  • Asheville, Tenth Month 2009
    Southern Appalachian Young Friends Epistle Asheville October, 2009 This weekend was amazing. Everything from the maze to the tacos and the dancing was great. I hadn’t really heard of the Jerk until now but its really fun, even though I can barely do it yet. I got more sleep this retreat than most which is good and I wish we could all just stay here and not go back to school. I missed the last one so this time I got to see a lot of 2bies who had come to the last one. Jacob and Xavier’s dancing was great lo,=) I had fun talking with Heather and Chantal is really awesome. Anyway, I hope the November one is just as good and everyone and more comes. ~ Emanuel Huber Feely SAYF was fun this weekend. For me it was a relaxing weekend compared to my first retreat. This is my second and I feel like you all are like family to me. Although I was betrayed four times by a certain someone and once by another certain someone I forgive them. But watch your backs next time I come here. I will have revenge! I love you guys. You take me away from the real world and put me in a world where everyone’s happy and always having fun. To Chrissy I love you and thanks for allowing me to tag along again. To Santha thanks for my neck-a-lace. To Katie thanks for hugs. And to everyone else thanks for accepting me. I still cannot write passive aggressive haikus but I wrote a pretty beasty poem.

  • Rhythms of Relation: Black Popular Music and Mobile Technologies
    Rhythms of Relation: Black Popular Music and Mobile Technologies Alexander G. Weheliye In this essay I focus on the singular performances of the interface between (black) subjectivity and informational technologies in popular music, ask- ing how these performances impact current definitions of the technologi- cal. After a brief examination of those aspects of mobile technologies that gesture beyond disembodied communication, I turn to the multifarious manifestations of techno-informational gadgets (especially cellular/mobile telephones) in contemporary R&B, a genre that is acutely concerned, both in content and form, with the conjuring of interiority, emotion, and affect. The genre’s emphasis on these aspects provides an occasion to analyze how technology thoroughly permeates spheres that are thought to represent the hallmarks of humanist hallucinations of humanity. I outline the extensive and intensive interdependence of contemporary (black) popular music and mobile technologies in order to ascertain how these sonic formations refract communication and embodiment and ask how this impacts rul- ing definitions of the technological. The first group of musical examples surveyed consists of recordings released between 1999 and 2001; the sec- ond set are recordings from years 2009–2010. Since ten years is almost an eternity in the constantly changing universes of popular music and mobile technologies, analyzing the sonic archives from two different historical moments allows me to stress the general co-dependence of mobiles and music without silencing the breaks that separate these “epochs.” Finally, I gloss a visual example that stages overlooked dimensions of mobile tech- nologies so as to amplify the rhythmic flow between the scopic and the sonic.

  • A Framework for Researching Media Influence in Language Change
    Journal of Sociolinguistics 18/2, 2014: 185–212 FOCUS ARTICLE The mediated innovation model: A framework for researching media influence in language change1 Dave Sayers Sheffield Hallam University and Swansea University, United Kingdom Linguistic innovations that arise contemporaneously in highly distant locations, such as quotative be like, have been termed ‘global linguistic variants’. This is not necessarily to suggest fully global usage, but to invoke more general themes of globalisation vis-a-vis space and time. This research area has grown steadily in the last twenty years, and by asserting a role for mass media, researchers have departed intrepidly from sociolinguistic convention. Yet they have largely relied on quite conventional socio- linguistic methodologies, only inferring media influence post hoc. This methodological conservatism has been overcome recently, but uncertainty remains about the overall shape of the new epistemological landscape. In this paper, I review existing research on global variants, and propose an epistemological model for researching media influence in language change: the mediated innovation model. I also analyse the way arguments are constructed in existing research, including the use of rhetorical devices to plug empirical gaps – a worthy sociolinguistic topic in its own right. Les innovations linguistiques qui emergent simultanement dans differentes regions du monde, telles que les verbes introducteurs be like par exemple, ont eterecemment appelees des ‘variantes linguistiques universelles’. Ceci ne suggere pas necessairement l’existence d’un usage mondial a part entiere, mais plutot^ l’invocation de themes plus larges sur la mondialisation en matiere d’espace et de temps. Ce domaine de recherche a connu un developpement regulier au cours de ces vingt dernieres annees, et en revendiquant le role^ que peuvent jouer les medias de masse, les sociolinguistes se sont eloignes avec une certaine intrepidite des conventions caracteristiques de leur domaine.

  • Mtc Presents Trey Songz Live in Concert
    MTC PRESENTS TREY SONGZ LIVE IN CONCERT Start// Windhoek 23 March 2015 - In what will be recorded in history as Namibia’s best international show to date, MTC will present Trey Songz live in concert in Windhoek on the 30th May at the Independence Stadium. Trey Songz Biography: Over the past ten years, no one has better blended the sounds of hip-hop and R&B and pop better than the Grammy-nominated international superstar TREY SONGZ. And now for 2014, after dozens of hits, and more than 20 million albums & singles sold, his next album has arrived…TRIGGA, Put your hands in the air if you’re loving tonight…. With TRIGGA, Trey Songz has found the true meaning behind his music and prepared his most intimate album yet. The album is an honest and courageous set of songs that will solidify his bond with an adoring fan base who have been open ever since he exclaimed “I gotta make it!” TRIGGA extends the legacy of I GOTTA MAKE IT (2004), TREY DAY (2007), READY (2009), PASSION, PAIN & PLEASURE (2010) and the triumphant #1 RIAA Gold-Certified album CHAPTER V (2012). The album will add to the hit parade of jams like “I Need A Girl,” “LOL Smiley Face,” “2 Reasons” & “Heart Attack.” And let us not forget the classic change-the-game-sounds of “Successful,” with partner Drake, the permanent go-to-bed-cocky records like “Neighbors Know My Name” & “I Invented Sex,” the club banger “Bottoms Up” or “Say Aah,” the best, most literal, did-he-just-say-that? club anthem ever made that brought all that heat, sex appeal, and provocation to longing ladies everywhere who thought they were safe at the bar.
