  • The Smart Studios Story Screens at the Greenwich Odeum on November 11
    The Smart Studios Story Screens at The Greenwich Odeum on November 11 When you delve into music history, you’ll find that a majority of the most important and influential music ever created was only recorded at a few places. Places like Sun Studio in Memphis, Electrical Audio in Chicago, Electric Lady Studios in New York City and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, are sacred ground. It’s where landmark albums came to be, legendary musicians stepped foot and brilliance shined. Another place was Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, owned by acclaimed producers Butch Vig and Steve Marker who are also part of the alternative rock act Garbage. At the Greenwich Odeum in East Greenwich on Friday, November 11, there will be a screening of the documentary on the recording studio titled The Smart Studios Story. Parts of Nirvana’s masterpiece Nevermind, The Smashing Pumpkins’ debut Gish, The Con by Teagan and Sara, L7’s Bricks Are Heavy and a plethora of spectacular albums were recorded and produced at Smart Studios. It was a place for independent and underground rock acts to get recordings made from the studio’s infancy in the ‘80s right up to its closing in 2010. The documentary, directed by Wendy Schneider, examines the studio’s existence and origin. The film also features interviews with Vig, Marker, Laura Jane Grace from Against Me!, Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson, Jimmy Chamberlin and Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins and many others. It promises to provide an in-depth look at an historic space located within a building mistaken for being a crack house in the place known as Mad City.

  • Anglophone Music As Poetry
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Croatian Digital Thesis Repository University of Rijeka Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka Department of English Matea Lacmanović: Anglophone Music as Poetry Mentor: Lovorka Gruić Grmuša, PhD Rijeka, July 2015 1 Abstract Literature as a whole is usually divided into poetry, prose and drama (Solar 2006: 154) with fairly clear boundaries between them. When it comes to their subdivision and definition of specific literature and art type, the boundaries become unclear and many questions arise. One of the most difficult questions to answer is what poetry is and which criteria must be met in order for some work to be classified as poetry. It is known that authors such as Shakespeare, Byron, Cummings or Angelou are poets and their work is interpreted as poetry. However, can the circle of poetry and art be expanded to similar forms such as contemporary music? That is the topic of this thesis – analysis, explanation and specific examples of modern song lyrics which can be viewed as poetry and something more valuable in the art context than it actually is due to the commercialization of music. With songs performed by Tupac, Garbage, Leonard Cohen, Bill Withers and various artists who belong to different music genres and eras, poetry is broadened and upgraded to the 21st century level. Key words: Anglophone music, music, poetry, lyrics, analysis, literature, art, contemporary, modern, intermediation, authorship 2 Table of Contents Abstract

  • WHY MADONNA HATED ME by Bill Lanphier I Used to Obsess Over
    WHY MADONNA HATED ME By Bill Lanphier I used to obsess over whether Madonna liked me. Long after the Virgin Tour ended I'd have a recurring dream. I'd answer the telephone and it would be her. "Mousse?" (My nickname on the tour.) "Yes?" "It's Daisy Miller!" (The alias under which Madonna registered in hotels during the Virgin Tour). "Sorry for all that shit I put you through back then. Let's do another tour together. Make things right." I don't have that dream anymore. But now, 21 years after the Virgin Tour, this woman is still in the news. Several times a year I'm asked, "What was she like? Did you ever hang out with her? Did you guys get along?" Sometimes I think she might have liked me. Other times I think not." She liked me. At the group audition at Leeds rehearsal studios in North Hollywood, Madonna sang a few songs with the prospective band, including myself, that musical director Pat Leonard had assembled. With the exception of an excellent, balding guitarist, Madonna liked us. My hair's okay! I'm going on tour with Madonna! She hated me. On the first full day of rehearsals, in a misguided effort to connect with Madonna, with whom I had almost nothing in common, I asked her, "How's your buddy?" referring to Rosanna Arquette, star of the movie they'd just completed, "Desperately Seeking Susan," and who had accompanied Madonna to the audition. Madonna's incredulous, "WHAT?" made it clear I had made the monumental mistake of overstepping my boundaries.

    The MJCast - Episode 061: Jonathan ‘Sugarfoot’ Moffett Special If using any of the below text, please reference The MJCast and display the following podcast URL. Thank-you. http://www.themjcast.com/episode-061-jonathan-sugarfoot-moffett-special/ The MJCast (Q): Hello, and welcome to the MJCast! I am Q, one of your hosts for today, and today we're interviewing one of Michael's most long-standing collaborators—potentially his most long-standing. The MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett worked with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons as their tour drummer starting in 1979 with the "Destiny Tour", and continued to work with them later for the "Triumph Tour", the "Victory Tour", Michael's 1988 Grammy Awards performance, the "HIStory World Tour", his "30th Anniversary" shows, and, eventually, "This is It". MJCast (Q): Not only did Jonathan Sugarfoot have the honor of collaborating closely with the Jacksons, but he has also toured with artists such as Madonna, George Michael, Prince, Elton John, and Lionel Richie. MJCast (Jamon): Jonathan, it's an honor to have you here on the MJCast how're you going? Jonathan Moffett: I'm doing pretty good—I've been doing pretty good. A little mistake in there—I'd never toured with Prince. I've worked in a studio [where] Madonna and Prince [were] on the same song "Keep it Together", so I've never toured. I don't want misinformation to get out there, so I've never toured with Prince, although he has asked me about touring with him, which never just came about because he was at a lot of the after parties at the Jackson shows, Elton shows, and cameo shows, and he'd speak to me and give me a combination of performance and he asked me about playing with him, but it just never happened.

  • Garbage, Die Band Um Die Schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker Und Butch Vig, Kommt Zurück Nach Deutschland!
    Garbage, die Band um die schottische Sängerin Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker und Butch Vig, kommt zurück nach Deutschland! Nachdem sich die Band in Madison im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin formiert hatte, ist 1995 ihr selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum erschienen. Die Platte mit Hits wie “Stupid Girl”, “Only Happy When It Rains”, “Queer” und Anderen verkaufte sich mehr als vier Millionen Mal und machte die Band um den erfolgreichen Produzenten Butch Vig - der unter anderem für Nirvanas “Nevermind” verantwortlich war - zu einer der einflussreichsten Alternative-Rock-Bands der USA. Ihr einzigartiger Sound und die provokante visuelle Ästhetik sorgten für weltweite Aufmerksamkeit und Erfolg. Das folgende Album “Version 2.0” überstieg den Erfolg des Debüts noch einmal, erreichte 1998 in vielen Ländern die Charts und wurde gleich in mehreren Kategorien – inklusive “Album des Jahres” - für einen Grammy nominiert. “Version 2.0” bleibt bis heute Garbages kommerziell erfolgreichstes Album. Mit “Beautiful Garbage” (2001) und “Bleed Like Me” (2005) folgten zwei weitere erfolgreiche Platten des Quartetts. Nach einer siebenjährigen Auszeit veröffentlichten Garbage 2012 das Album “Not Your Kind Of People” auf dem bandeigenen Indie-Label Stunvolume. Das Werk wurde damals unter den 50 besten Platten des Jahres im Rolling Stone geführt und von Pichtfork als “the alternative to everything” bejubelt. 2016 folgte „Strange Little Birds“, das ebenfalls von Fans und Kritikern hochgeschätzt ist. Garbage haben bis dato weltweit mehr als 15 Millionen Alben verkauft und sind in 45 Ländern aufgetreten – Deutschland war dabei jedoch immer eine ihrer wichtigsten Anlaufstellen. Die erste Jahreshälfte von 2019 verbringt die amerikanische Band größtenteils im Studio, um an ihrem siebten Album zu arbeiten.
