  • February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America
    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

Basically: it’s shit hot stuff and this album cannot come soon enough”—NOISEY “Pop gave the song a relatively restrained and poignant performance. The single, from his wonderfully titled new album Post Pop Depression,’ continues the bleak, grooving moods from his great David Bowie collaborations, and it's perhaps his catchiest new tune in a generation.”—THE LOS ANGELES TIMES “Glorious… ’Gardenia’ itself feels like a callback to the glory days of new wave, with Iggy’s trademark low voice channeling the spirit of his dearly departed friend David Bowie. Homme provides backing vocals and typically excellent guitar work.”—PASTE Its existence having been revealed to the world via a one-two punch of an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and exclusive profile in The New York Times, it can now be announced that Iggy Pop’s new album Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International) will be supported by a very limited run of one-time-only live performances in specially selected venues.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Music › News Features Reviews Playlists The Bedlam in Goliath If you like your music frantic, frenzied and undeniably proggy, then this could be your most anticipated album of the year By James W. Cousins, Chief Sub-Editor (2008/09) Friday 22 February 2008 Artist: The Mars Volta Album: The Bedlam in Goliath Rating: * * * * Before we begin, a warning: If you like your music calm and unhurried, folky, or indie danceable, The Mars Volta are not for you. If, however, you like your music frantic, frenzied and undeniably proggy, then this could be your most anticipated album of the year. For those of you not yet acquainted with their manic creations, The Mars Volta do not shy away from complicated time signatures, gratuitous guitar indulgences or epic fifteen minute plus songs, choosing instead to make these polarising musical attributes their hallmark. However, in the interim eighteen or so months since the release of their last album Amputechture, The Mars Volta have had to overcome some unexpected hardships, including the loss of awe-inspiring drummer Jon Theodore. With the release of The Bedlam in Goliath the band has bandied about somewhat disturbing stories about destructive contact with the spiritual realm through an ominous Ouija they named The Soothsayer; make what you will of these claims, but this latest album comes from a band regrouping after a distinctly dark period, and the sense of defiance is palpable. The Bedlam in Goliath begins with a bang, immediately launching into a full-on aural assault.

Interview: Rich Mangicaro - Photos: Rob Shanahan 015 Parents have a powerful and positive impact upon the development and health of their children. The relationship between father and son early on in life is crucial—dad is his son’s first role model. He is both consciously and subconsciously observed, and his words and actions are absorbed, even before the child’s first spoken word. With an artistic parent, a child can be influenced even while still in the womb; rhythms and melodies permeate mama’s belly and the child is most definitely affected by this. Some say it’s the beginning of ‘natural talent’ or ‘being born with it.’ Some say the child is an old soul. To have one child that is born with this natural artistic talent is quite something to behold, but to have four?! This is extraordinary. Thus is the case with the Wackerman family. Hailing from Orange County, California, this gifted musical family has inspired thousands of musicians worldwide. All four of Chuck and Barbara Wackerman’s sons are absolute virtuosos on their instrument. Three of their sons, Chad, John and Brooks became drummers like their dad. Equally as talented as his drumming brothers, Bob Wackerman chose the drummer’s right-hand instrument, the bass.

  • Retro Goes Metro: a Track-By-Track Analysis of Villains by Queens Of
    Bennett 1 Lauren Bennett Dr. O’Donnell Advanced Composition 4 December 2017 Retro Goes Metro A Track-by-Track Analysis of Villains by Queens of the Stone Age Today I felt the first coolness of fall. It’s finally October and so far the year 2017 has failed to accomplish any ideas of a futuristic/utopian pleasure-garden. The current earthly climate (besides being unusually warm) is socially dissonant to say the least. Politically—the “leadership” situation is downright absurd. Furthermore, I can’t help but find myself obsessing over change and fretting profusely that things may be changing for the worse. I have found several ways to escape this anxiety, and music is one of the safer ones. And even though I have always been able to rely on finding some sense of mental reconciliation in music, the sounds that have defined my core of auditory enjoyment—my rock-n-roll roots—have now waned. When I stop to assess the contemporary happenings of rock, I am, typically, shocked and horrified to find that a frenzy of electronic influence has seemingly debased everything that I have ever known to be righteous and upstanding in a time- This is the album cover for Villains. It was designed by a graphic artist named Boneface. They also designed for the album …Like Clockwork (2013). Bennett 2 worn genre that, since the 1950s, has been just fine. Hell, I find myself departing, entirely jaded, from the decades of the 20th century in terms of rock-n-roll. I’ve reached the point where I’m just ready to move on to something new.
