Craig David: The Time Is Now review – a glossily one-note album. I t feels like Craig David’s third act (resurrection, mixed with redemption) depends heavily on his audience’s ability to ironise its enjoyment. It’s that pleasurable ripple of cognitive dissonance in knowing that David isn’t really convincing as a super-cool gym rat horndog, alongside celebrating the fact that he sort of is. Yes, his definitive 7 Days was about spending half the week humping; but it’s also a hymn to fidelity and not putting out on the first date. Unfortunately, The Time Is Now doesn’t even bother with the ersatz lived experience of those early hits. What’s left is inspirational memes slathered over playlist-ready tropical R&B-pop – varyingly successful attempts to rewrite Justin Bieber’s Sorry, without any of Bieb’s sour-faced entitlement. Which, of course, is at least half of Justin’s appeal, and without that underlying passive-aggressiveness, David is just blandly competent, despite all his undeniable talents. The first three songs are superb, especially the blissfully silly acrostic Magic (“G for the girl that got me good/ I C the world the way I should”), but it’s a glossily one-note album, an uncomplicated toast to desire sated, friendship reciprocated and love requited. Album reviews: Craig David – The Time Is Now, Mary Gauthier – Rifles & Rosary Beads, Buffy Sainte-Marie – Medicine Songs, and more. Mary Gauthier’s reputation as one of today’s greatest songwriters, admired by peers such as Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, is rooted in her relentless commitment to honesty and accuracy – most notably in the autobiographical song-cycle The Foundling , which dealt with her abandonment as a baby, becoming a teenage runaway, and drug and alcohol addiction. Her work may not always be easy listening, but the bell-like ring of truth resonates throughout. With Rifles & Rosary Beads , she’s created her most impressive and affecting work yet. It grew out of the Songwriting With Soldiers project, which brings war veterans together with songwriters tasked to tell their stories. It’s a noble project: on average, more than 30 American veterans take their own lives every day, a huge toll partly caused by the wider world’s sheer incomprehension of their experiences. Many participants in the programme have confirmed its healing, even life-saving, effect, in encouraging “post-traumatic growth”. Few of the 400 songs it’s so far produced, though, can be as searingly effective as Gauthier’s 11 epistles from the emotional frontline, which reveal the hidden toll of army life, the issues often smothered by codes of courage and fellowship. Set to galumphing folk-rock arrangements of guitar, piano, mandolin, fiddle and drums, which evocatively capture the feel of trudging through the Big Muddy with a backpack and an M-16, they convey a complex mixture of pride, guilt and despair, related by Gauthier with a blue-collar grace that recalls a less gravelly Lucinda Williams. “Soldiering On” opens proceedings with a firm statement of duty, to which is appended a caveat that casts a shadow across the rest of the album: “I was bound to something bigger, more important than a human life,” it asserts, “but what saves you in the battle can kill you at home.” This lingering trauma is examined in “The War After The War”, which presents the quandary faced by service spouses unable to unlock the partners they once knew, their plight all but invisible to the outside world. “Who’s gonna care for the ones who care for the ones who went to war?/ There’s landmines in the living room, and eggshells on the floor”, it asks. The situation is further complicated in the heartbreaking “It’s Her Love”, where, over brooding harmonium drone and violin, Gauthier voices a Veteran’s gratitude for the sanctuary provided by his wife from flashback nightmares, the frail thread sustaining his sanity. Elsewhere, the additional burden of sexual harassment faced by female soldiers, and their struggle to be regarded as equals, is outlined in “Brothers” and “Iraq”; while the Veterans’ Day Parade depicted in “Bullet Holes In The Sky” masks bitter misgivings: “They thank me for my service and wave their little flags, they genuflect on Sundays – and yet they’d send us back.” A large part of the problem, it seems, is the lingering guilt felt for fallen comrades – something ignored by distant politicians insulated from the effects of their decisions, but which hangs huge and heavy on the shoulders of those at the sharp end. As a dull drumbeat pulses like helicopter blades through “Morphine 1-2”, the crippling regret oozes from the tearful claim, “Even now, I’d take their place”. It’s just one of a tranche of recollections and regrets that cut to the very quick on Rifles & Rosary Beads . If you know someone in service, or their partner, treat them to this album: it may help them to know they’re not alone.

Download: No No Keshagesh; Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee; You Got To Run; Little Wheel Spin And Spin; Universal Soldier; Starwalker. Buffy Sainte-Marie manages to shrink the gulf between past and future, employing a keen awareness of cutting-edge technology in the service of ancient wisdom. This retrospective set combines newer material with re-recorded versions of early Sixties protest classics such as “Soldier Blue” and “Universal Soldier”, in which she tackled issues of eco-consciousness and personal responsibility long before they became common discourse. Since then, her protests have been articulate and specific: the systematic oppression of Native American culture (including the forced re-education of children) in Canada; the black-ops-backed mining of uranium on Native territory; the profit principle underlying “The War Racket”. Against these dark forces she posits the power of indigenous healers and wisdom keepers, underscoring her arguments with arrangements which combine rousing powwow chants in hypnotic collusion with cyclical guitar figures, mouth-bow drones and pulsing grooves. The result, in tracks like “You Got To Run” and “No No Keshagesh”, is uniquely uplifting, a powerful affirmation of steely spirituality. Craig David, The Time Is Now. Download: I Know You. In a week featuring inspirational releases by strong, articulate women, it’s embarrassing that the most prominent new male offering should be as unambitious as The Time Is Now , Craig David’s attempt to refloat his becalmed career on the flimsiest of generic grooves and autotuning tropes. It’s wearily repetitive and almost aggressively underwhelming, with David’s bland romantic entreaties carried by frisky shuffles and the sparest of keyboard hints supplied by producers like his guitarist-turned-hitmaker Fraser T Smith and Steve Mac, who on “Brand New” recycles the kalimba keyboard sound he employed on Ed Sheeran’s “The Shape Of You”, minus the allure. The late-night alliance depicted in the single “I Know You” is the best song here, but elsewhere things are far less evocative, reaching a nadir when David’s reduced to singing “blah blah blah, yah yah yah” in “For The Gram” – though, since the alternative is his encouragement to “speak in emoji, wink wink smiley”, perhaps we should be thankful he’s actually using what might pass as words. Recommended. ​ Dirtmusic​, Bu Bir Ruya. Download: Bi De Sen Soyle; The Border Crossing; Go The Distance. Australian/American duo Dirtmusic’s globe-trotting collaborative spirit is further extended on Bu Bir Ruya , though their locus has shifted from the Malian associations of albums like BKO to Turkey, where they’ve been working with saz player Murat Ertel. The style and spirit remain much the same, however: pan-cultural shuffles like “Bi De Sen Soyle” and “Go The Distance” sprout whirling tendrils of guitar and saz over steadily pulsing grooves steeped in dubwise depth, while Ertel, Chris Eckmann and Hugo Race extemporise lyrics about hapless refugees and “despots making deals to cover up their crimes”. It’s engagingly infectious for a while – “The Border Crossing” is like an Arabic Bo Diddley groove, itchily evoking the refugee’s desire to move on – but slips into an amorphous miasma in places; and the sententious political declamations fail to excite in the manner of, say, Buffy Sainte-Marie. But there’s much to admire here, particularly their determination to “take the wrong road”.

  • Getting to Know the Score a Heuristic Study Of
    Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp MSc Counselling Psychology Keele University 2018 Timothy M Crisp / 15019739 Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp Abstract Relatively little is known about the experience of problem gambling, but the issue of betting addiction impacts upon a worrying number of people. More than two million people in the United Kingdom are classified as being either problem gamblers, or at risk of developing a betting addiction (Gambling Commission, 2018, p.24). Yet, the British Psychological Society (2011) and the American Psychological Association (2013) identify a disturbing lack of study into the phenomenological experience of problem gambling. Using heuristics (Moustakas, 1990), I conducted a self-study into my experience of problem gambling. I adopted such a qualitative approach, as I wanted to realise the unique nature, essence and meanings of my addiction. My data was gathered in a journal, at the time I was experiencing my betting problem, and in retrospect. The tacit knowledge and understanding that emerged was collated into three themes. The first theme determined that my problem gambling was only concerned with in-play betting, and not online or high-street activity, due to the relative intensity of the encounter. The causes of my addiction were found to occur in succession; originally escape, then a confidence in the structured approach of a strategy. My previous experience of a sizeable win proved a continued and strong influence. The additional themes occurred sequentially. Initially, where the beneficial aspects of control, escape and reality were discovered to be illusory, and finally, where I encountered the shock of a spontaneous self-combustion.

Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Intuition by Shakti Gawain
    Art of Following Intuition By Shakti Gawain Listening to, trusting, and acting on your intuitive inner guidance is an art. Like any other art or discipline, it requires a certain commitment. It is an ongoing process in which we are always being challenged to move to a deeper level of self-trust. For most of us, the practice of allowing our intuition to guide us is really a new way of life, very different from what we have been taught in the past. At times it may feel uncomfortable or even a bit frightening. If we have been conditioned to try to approach life entirely rationally, to follow certain rules (or to automatically rebel against them), or to do what we think other people want us to do, then beginning to follow our own inner sense of truth is a major shift. It's natural for it to take some time and it may be a little difficult and confusing at certain moments. It's important to be very compassionate with ourselves in this process. At times we may be very aware of the conflicting voices inside of us. One part of us may be excited about making changes while another part of us is terrified about it. If we can acknowledge and honour all our different inner voices and their feelings, our intuition will show us an appropriate step to take -- one that moves us in the right direction without being too frightening for our vulnerable selves or too radical for our conservative parts. Opening New Doors The more we practice following our intuition, the more faith we get, because we see that it really does work.

    INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF INCORPORATING CULTURAL ELEMENTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING TO ENHANCE JAPANESE COLLEGE STUDENTS’ L2 VISION AS INTERCULTURAL SPEAKERS by HARUMI OGAWA (B.A., M.A.) A Thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Education The University of Birmingham September 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis concerns an exploratory practice (EP) project conducted at a two-year college in north east Japan, which was severely affected by the earthquake of March 2011. The focus of research is a 13-week EFL course for 25 first-year college students, specifically designed to enhance their future visions of themselves as L2 users (Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014). This study examined opportunities that the course created for the students’ vision development in the classroom and the factors that may have contributed to these opportunities. The data came from 1) students’ written narratives, 2) semi-structured interviews, 3) teacher/researcher reflections, field notes and audio- and video- recordings of the classes, and 4) course evaluation questionnaires.
