Wood knocked, fingers crossed… (845) 384-6590 www.globalpalaterestaurant.com Just have to say though: for so many reasons, I honestly can’t imagine Carl 0000092949 Paladino governing this state, nor that there are enough people here in New York who actually think he would be a good choice for the job, let alone get him elected. Besides, if going viral on YouTube is any indicator, that bizarre Jimmy “Rent Is Too Damn High” McMillan guy is going to pull a lot of crazy from ol’ Carl. Sure hope so anyway, as Carl needs to shuffle on off to Buffalo, back to collecting rent from the U.S. government and spewing his racy and racist emails to whoever enjoys that sort of thing. Ah, sorry to kick it off like this, I’m just pretty much at political saturation right now, and don’t have a very good outlet for the tension at present, not being in the future with you all yet. And you know, you can only flick the lever in the voting booth with so much force without breaking it. This I actually know. And I’m just not going to dress up in stars and stripes, carry a hate-ee-du-jour-with-Hitler-mustache sign, and find some unemployed folks to yell at. Just not how I play. Nope, I’m going to enjoy the scenery in my backyard, and remind myself what’s real. As the song goes, King Harvest has surely come, and we’ve got some interesting artists to tell you about this month. Shokan-based composer ASIAN . STEAK . LOUNGE George Tsontakis is considered one of the top American contemporary composers, with a full schedule of premieres and performances of his work coming in the next year. He’s also a highly esteemed professor at Bard College, and frequent thespian in local productions. Our kind of artist! Graphic novel and comic book artist Jim Starlin is hardly a public person, NOW OPEN FOR LUNCH even eschewing appearances at the ever-popular conventions. But if you’ve had any interest in comic books growing up, cool stuff like Silver Surfer MONDAY - FRIDAY and Sub-Mariner, you’ve seen his work, all right. And with his spicy new memoir, there is much that can be learned about the dark underbelly of the comic biz. Also, this month marks the 20th anniversary of Time and Space Limited in Hudson, where a hardy group has been providing a format for 319 MAIN ST POUGHKEEPSIE, NY digital cinema and simulcasts (Met Opera, National Theatre) as well as (FREE PARKING OFF MILL ST) art installations and live music performances. An evening at TSL is one of the best deals around in terms of price and quality, and with the new Club 845.337.4848 ∙ BULLANDBUDDHA.COM Helsinki down the street, should be another compelling reason to get to Hudson sometime soon. And though we mention the Queen’s Galley frequently in this magazine, this month Roll talks to its leader and founder Diane Reeder, a person who (in my opinion) should be considered a living saint in any truly civilized culture. Thanks to the ongoing economic slump, Queen’s Galley has been feeding and helping out more than twice the usual amount of people with only half their usual donations. You should try doing that sometime, if you aren’t having to already. But they somehow manage. There is always a need for help and funding though, so please visit the Galley website— www.queensgalley.org—if you feel like helping fight the good fight. So let us wish you a fine post-Election Day Thanksgiving, and we hope you have much to be thankful for. We here at Roll are deeply thankful to you, Dear Reader, as you obviously care about staying informed about important things like art, ecology, and creative living in the Hudson Valley. You—like the good folks featured in this magazine—make this a special place to live! Cheers, Ross Rice, editor 2 | rollmagazine.com It’s Warren Kitchen & Cutlery for the Holidays!

  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd
    Roots radical – Place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepreneurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study. Keywords: entrepreneurship; social construction; punk rock; paradox; marginality; periphery Special thanks are due to all the punks and skins who have engaged with my reading of the Rancid story, and given me so much support and feedback along the way, especially Rancid’s drummer, Branden Steineckert, Jesse from Machete Manufacturing, Kostis, Tassos (Rancid Punx Athens Crew) and Panayiotis.

    1111 2 Global Nomads 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 A uniquely ‘nomadic ethnography,’ Global Nomads is the first in-depth treat- 3111 ment of a counterculture flourishing in the global gulf stream of new electronic 4 and spiritual developments. D’Andrea’s is an insightful study of expressive indi- vidualism manifested in and through key cosmopolitan sites. This book is an 5 invaluable contribution to the anthropology/sociology of contemporary culture, 6 and presents required reading for students and scholars of new spiritualities, 7 techno-dance culture and globalization. 8 Graham St John, Research Fellow, 9 School of American Research, New Mexico 20111 1 D'Andrea breaks new ground in the scholarship on both globalization and the shaping of subjectivities. And he does so spectacularly, both through his focus 2 on neomadic cultures and a novel theorization. This is a deeply erudite book 3 and it is a lot of fun. 4 Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology 5 at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor 6 at the London School of Economics. 7 8 Global Nomads is a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, 9 a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines 30111 the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of counter- 1 cultural practice in paradoxical paradises. 2 Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland to shape an alternative 3 lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seek- 4 ing to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of 35 expressive individualism.

    --" Vm # THE GLEN COLLECTION OF SCOTTISH MUSIC Presented by Lady Dorothea Ruggles- Brise to the National Library of Scotland, in memory of her brother, Major Lord George Stewart Murray, Black Watch, killed in action in France in 1914. 2Uh January 1927. ^vO Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/spiritofnationbaOOppdu DUBLIN: PUBLISHED BY JAMES DUFFY, 23, ANGLE SEA- STREET. X y5^t icjb BALLADS AND SONGS THE WRITERS OF "THE NATION," OKIGINAL AND ANCIENT MUSIC, ARRANGED FOR THE VOICE AND PIANO-FORTE. DUBLIN: PUBLISHED BY JAMES DUFFY, 23, ANGLESEA-STREET. 1845. DUBLIN : PRINTED ISY T. COLDWELL, 50, CAPEL-STREET. PREFACE. It is hardly necessary to tell our Irish readers that the Ballads and Songs, collected here, were originally published, from week to week, in The Nation newspaper, since its establishment in October, 1842. Two-thirds of the verses in this volume have never been reprinted from the newspaper till now ; but a portion of them are re-edited from the original Spirit of the Nation. In March, 1843, we printed a little sixpenny book, containing the poems which had appeared in our paper up to that date. Last autumn a second part appeared. The success of the work was marvellous. It was seized on by Ireland's friends as the first bud of a new season, when manhood, union, and nationality, would replace submission, hatred, and provincialism. It was paraded by our foes as the most alarming sign of the decision and confidence of the national party, and, accordingly, they arraigned it in the press, in the meeting, in parliament, and, finally, put it on its trial with "the conspirators of Ireland." Its circulation was proportionate.

Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

  • Andivius Hedulio Vol.II by Edward Lucas White
    Andivius Hedulio Vol.II By Edward Lucas White ANDIVIUS HEDULIO VOL. II BY EDWARD LUCAS WHITE DISAPPEARANCE CHAPTER X ESCAPE At Tibur I put up at a clean little inn I had known of since boyhood, but which I had never before entered or even seen, so that I felt safe there and reasonably sure to pass as a traveller of no rank whatever. My knowledge of country ways, too, enabled me to behave like a landed proprietor of small means. After a hearty lunch I pushed boldly on up the Valerian Highway and covered the twenty-two miles between Tibur and Carseoli without visibly tiring my mount. He was no more winded nor lathered than any traveller's horse should be at the end of a day on the road. At Carseoli I again knew of a clean, quiet inn, and there I dined and slept. Thence I intended to follow the rough country roads along the Tolenus. Stream-side roads are always bad, so I allowed two days more in which to reach home, and I could hardly have done it quicker. The night after I left Carseoli I camped by a tributary of the Tolenus in a very pretty little grove. From Carseoli on the weather was fine. About the third hour of the day, on the fifth day before the Kalends of September, of a fair, bright morning, I came to my own estate. On the road nearing it I had met no one. I met no one along the woodland tracks leading into my property from that side: on my estate I met no one save just as I was about to enter my villa.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.
