  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • Metaphors Found in Beach House's Selected Song Lyrics in Depression
    PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRACT Santoso, Lukas Kurniawan. (2020). Metaphors found in Beach House’s Selected Song Lyrics in Depression Cherry Album. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Art Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University. This research was conducted to analyze the selected song lyrics of Beach House’s album entitled Depression Cherry. There are five selected songs which are Space Song, Sparks, PPP, Wildflower, and Levitation. The songs were selected based on the content of metaphor in the lyrics. There are two research questions which have been formulated. Those are (1) “What types of metaphors are found in Beach House’s selected song lyrics?” and (2) “What are the meaning of those metaphors?” There are two sources that are used in this research. The first is the primary subject and the second is secondary subject. The primary subject is the five selected Beach House’s song lyrics. While the secondary subjects are the theories about song lyrics, metaphors, meanings, and formalist approach. The researcher used the theory of metaphor and formalist approach in answering the first research question, while the theory of meanings is used to answer the second research question. To support the research, the researcher applies the theory of song lyrics The results of this research show that there are 17 metaphors found on the five selected song lyrics of Beach House’s Depression Cherry album. There are four metaphors in Space Song, three metaphors in Sparks, four metaphors in PPP, three metaphors in Wildflower, and three metaphors in Levitation.

  • Alt-Nation: Handsome Pete, Beach House and Lincoln Tunnel
    Alt-Nation: Handsome Pete, Beach House and Lincoln Tunnel Handsome Pete’s Birthday Shitshow – The Funcrushers – Self-Titled CD Release (75orLessRecords) Longtime local music fixture Handsome Pete Lima’s annual birthday never fails to live up to its billing. This year will be no exception as it includes a self titled CD Release for Lima’s surf rock band, The Funcrushers, who no longer exist. His new surf rock band, The Anchorites, will play instead. That’s a little confusing so I contacted Handsome Pete to get the lowdown. As far as The Funcrushers CD, I’ve heard bits of the album over the years, but it was always around 4am in a practice space in Olneyville so those memories are sketchy. I feared the record was lost forever in a warehouse next to Dr. Dre’s Detox album. Happily, the lost Funcrushers record has resurfaced and is even better than I remembered. The all instrumental record is very much in the style of Man or Astro-Man? as far as spacey surf punk. Highlight tracks include the sprawling “Rampart,” “Seamantics” and the soothing “Fond Farewell.” The whole album is something one can listen to on repeat because it just has a great chill atmosphere for sunny days. Marc Clarkin: There are a lot urban legends surrounding The Funcrushers. Who is in the band and how long have they been together? Handsome Pete Lima: The Funcrushers are myself and Jesse Roy, who I’ve known since the 5th grade. We recorded the record in November 2008, and we only played together for maybe 6 months before that.

  • Beach House on Creating Your Own World
    July 17, 2017 - Beach House is a Baltimore-based band comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally. Since forming in 2004 the band have released six full-length albums. This summer the duo released the self-explanatory B-Sides and Rarities. When asked to explain the deeply intimate nature of the band’s creative process, Legrand offers the following: “It's very strange, sometimes. It feels like one mind, two bodies, four hands.” As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2352 words. Tags: Music, Focus, Inspiration, Process, Collaboration, Success. Beach House on creating your own world Your band is off the road and in-between albums. Does that mean you’re working on new music or are you taking a break? Victoria: It’s not super busy, but we’re always working on stuff. I think it’s just normal. We’re not really off right now. We’re not on vacation or anything. Something I’ve realized about us is that when we say we’re taking time off, it’s not ever as long as we think it’s going to be. Alex: There’s something about getting a little bit older where it starts to feel like once you stop, you die. Victoria: That’s what John Waters said to us. He said, “Don’t blink.” Alex: When we were younger, we would get back from tour, and be like, “That was so exhausting. I’m not going to do anything for like a month.” Now the idea of a month without doing anything is this horror of wasted time that you’ll never get back.

  • Beach House Vender Tilbage Til VEGA
    2015-05-26 16:30 CEST Beach House vender tilbage til VEGA VEGA og Livenation præsenterer BEACH HOUSE VENDER TILBAGE TIL VEGA Beach House udgav deres kritikerroste selvbetitlede debutalbum i 2006, der gav bandet nogle prominente indie-fans, inklusiv Grizzly Bear, som inviterede dem med på tour. I 2008 udkom albummet Devotion, og de brød for alvor gennem indie-muren med deres spektakulære Teen Dream fra 2010. I 2012 fulgte de op med Bloom, og den 25. august kan fans så glæde sig til bandets femte fuldlængde album, der har fået titlen ”Depression Cherry”. Bandet fortæller følgende om albummet: “In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom, the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove us towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from our natural tendencies. Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist. For us, Depression Cherry is a color, a place, a feeling, an energy… that describes the place you arrive as you move through the endlessly varied trips of existence.” Et glædeligt og længe ventet genhør Baltimores Beach House er måske den mest usandsynlige indie-succeshistorie gennem de seneste år. De spiller spillet efter deres egne regler, siger nej tak til store højtprofilerede turnéer, og de spiller ofte på mindre spillesteder, som ikke matcher deres store popularitet. Se video på YouTube her Bandet, der foretrækker ikke at blive kaldt en duo, blev dannet i 2004, og består af sangerinde og keyboardspiller Victoria Legrand og multi- instrumentalist Alex Scally, og de har trommeslageren Dan Franz med, når de turnerer.

  • Beach House Til Forum Black Box 9. Oktober Med Nyt Album "7" I Bagagen
    Beach House 2018-03-07 16:00 CET Beach House til Forum Black Box 9. oktober med nyt album "7" i bagagen BEACH HOUSE / FORUM BLACK BOX / 9. OKTOBER Efter en stuvende fuld og udsolgt koncert i Store VEGA i 2015, glæder vi os til at byde Baltimores dream-pop indie duo velkommen tilbage med deres syvende album, på deres sjette date med det danske publikum, denne gang i Forum Black Box’ nye koncert koncept. Beach House blev dannet i 2004, og består af sangerinde og keyboardspiller Victoria Legrand og multi-instrumentalist Alex Scally, og når de turnerer har de siden 2016 haft trommeslageren James Barone med. De udgav deres kritikerroste selvbetitlede debutalbum i 2006, der gav bandet nogle prominente indie-fans, inklusiv Grizzly Bear, som inviterede dem med på tour. I 2008 udkom ”Devotion”, og de brød for alvor gennem indie-muren med deres spektakulære “Teen Dream” fra 2010. I 2012 fulgte de op med ”Bloom” og i august 2015 udkom bandets femte fuldlængde album,”Depression Cherry”. Sidste år udsendte de albummet ”B-Sides and Rarities”, der hjalp dem med at få ryddet op i det kreative skab, lægge fortiden på hylden og starte på ny. Når ”7” udkommer den 11. maj i år, vil det således være deres syvende fuldlængde album, og Victoria og Alex har til den tid været band i mere end 13 år, og sammen skrevet og udgivet i alt 77 sange. Titlen “7” repræsenterer blot det faktum at det er Beach House’s syvende album. Men samtidig har tallet 7 nogle spændende sammenhænge i numerologiens verden, bandet beskriver: “1 and 7 have always shared a common look, so

  • Alt-Nation: Handsome Pete, Beach House and Lincoln Tunnel,Roots Report: Comedy Series, Folk Fest and Other Shows to Close the Su
    Suits and Boots: A Guide to Ska Style With New England summer winding down and cooler weather approaching, it’ll be time for all the rude boys to get their suits out of the closet and get set to look sharp at a show. Wait. What’s that you say? Rude boys? No, no. I don’t mind. I always relish the chance to nerd out about ska. In the 1960s, rude boys were either glorified or vilified in the poorer sections of Kingston, Jamaica. They were discontented youth, violent and prone to crime, and many ska and rocksteady artists of the time had songs about them. Tunes such as Dandy Livingstone’s “A Message to You, Rudi,” Alton Ellis’s “Dance Crasher,” and many more featured rude boy culture. Rude boys favored sharp suits, skinny ties and pork pie or Trilby hats. Think Dan Akroyd and John Belushi as The Blues Brothers, and you won’t be far off. In the late ’70s, the style was revived along with ska music by the 2 Tone Label and its associated bands: The Specials, Madness and The Selecter. The 2 Tone logo featured a cartoon drawing of a cool looking dude in a sharp suit and skinny tie nicknamed “Walt Jabsco.” The artist based the drawing off a slick looking Peter Tosh from one of the earlier Wailers records and thus the rude boy was reborn, not as a violent gangster, but as a fashion archetype and a label to describe fans of ska music. This era also saw the birth of the skinhead and the working class style of flight jackets, Fred Perry polo shirts and jeans held up by braces, rolled up to show off a neat pair of Doc Martens boots.

  • Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 8: Tossups
    Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 8: Tossups 1. The Genius page for this song mocks “other popular lyric sites” for representing the line “yes, I’m macabre” as “yes, I’m a cob.” The music video for this song features a loose recreation of the JFK assassination and a scene in which its primary vocalist receives a phone call from Mikhail Gorbachev while in “the Black House.” This song’s vocalist claims to have “rhymes in my mind embedded like an embryo” after noting, “You ain’t swift, moving like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis,” and earlier declares, “Some (*) drop science; well, I’m dropping English.” In its second verse, the vocalist declares, “It’s crazy to see people be what society wants them to be, but not me,” and mocks musicians who “cuss at home” but are “scared to use profanity when up on the microphone.” For 10 points, name this third single from Straight Outta Compton, in which Dr. Dre praises the value of speaking one’s mind. ANSWER: “Express Yourself” <Carson> 2. Musings on this film by the poet June Jordan begin on a 45-degree-below-zero night in St. Paul, Minnesota, which Jordan thinks of as the negation of this film’s source material. Roger Ebert’s review of this film was framed around Francois Truffaut’s quote “I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema.” Pauline Kael’s essay “Why Are Movies So Bad?” concludes that “people have expected less of movies and have been willing to settle for less” in the wake of this film, which Kael claims was an attempt at a “visionary, climactic, summing-up movie” but was “tied up in a big knot” of (*) “self-hatred and guilt.” Its director claims, “There were too many of us.
