At the Disco Panic!
MARCH/APRIL 2011 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM Panic! At the Disco released the long- awaited Vices & Virtues, the band’s third album and its fi rst written entirely by Urie and Smith. “It defi nitely took some time to fi gure out exactly what we wanted to do,” Smith acknowledges. “Even though it was still Panic, it felt like a new band.” Working with producers John Feldmann and Butch Walker, Urie and Smith struggled to fi nd their sound—but they did know they wanted to recapture the spirit of their debut, 2005’s multiplatinum A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Smith recalls that in the group’s early days, the members felt a sense of musical freedom. They paired punk guitars and pop melodies with synthesizer licks and dance beats, never thinking their hyperactive, hyper-emotional sound would help defi ne alternative rock for the MySpace era. “On our fi rst record, that was the mentality: Anything was allowed,” Smith says. “There was no pressure. Any musical style was possible.” On its follow-up, the band opted for what Smith calls a more “confi ned” Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith Jennifer Tzar approach, allowing their budding enthusiasm for ’60s psychedelic rock to lead them down the rabbit hole of Pretty. OOdddd., a Sgt. Pepper-style concept record. PANIC!PANIC! ATAT THE DISCODISCO VicesVices & VirtuesVirtues retains some of those No need for alarm—the synth-popsters have retro elements, but Urie and Smith mostly dust off the synths and deliver gigantic returned to the dance fl oor arena-emo choruses like the one heard on the lead single “The Ballad of Mona Lisa.” WHEN PANIC! AT THE DISCO Ross had just quit, leaving singer-guitarist “One album got it out of our system,” Smith announced in July 2009 that it was reinserting Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith says.

Witamy W Kolejnym, Tym Razem Li Jak Co Roku W Listopadzie Obchod Roku
Witamy w kolejnym, tym razem listopadowym wydaniu gazetki “Sqler2”. Jak co roku w listopadzie obchodziliśmy Dzień Niepodległości. W tym roku był on tak ważny, ponieważ to już setna rocznica! Oczywiście nie mogło się obejść bez artykułu na ten temat. W dziale muzycznym zespoły zagraniczne. Trochę o nowej płycie Imagine Dragons, oraz o zespole Panic! At the disco. Jeżeli wciąż myślicie o Halloween, zapraszamy was do artykułu o filmach z dreszczykiem po których na pewno poczujecie się jak w noc Halloweenową. Dalej nie poczuliście tego dreszczyku emocji? W dziale rozrywkowym znajdziecie kilka informacji na temat “Oddziału psychiatrycznego” w znanym Gdyńskim escape roomie “Walkout”. Nie mogło zabraknąć również artykułu o ważnym dniu dla naszej szkoły, a mianowicie o dniu patrona. Mamy nadzieję, że każdy z was znajdzie w tym artykule coś dla siebie. Redakcja “Sqler2” Spis treści: ● Kilka słów od redakcji ● Panic! At the disco ● Nowy album Imagine Dragons! ● 5 filmów na noc Halloweenową ● Escape room ● 100-lecie Niepodległości ● Dzień patrona ● Przepisy na jesienny humor ● Zakończenie M U Z Y K A Panic! At The Disco Zespół grający pop punk, pochodzący z Las Vegas w Nevadzie. Jak prawie każdy zespół mieli swoje wzloty i upadki, a dziś trochę o nich i o historii tej grupy. Zaczęło się od 4 kumpli z liceum: Ryan Ross (gitara), Brent Wilson (bas), Spencer Smith (perkusja) oraz Brendon Urie, którzy postanowili założyć zespół. Ich pierwszym miejscem prób i nagrywania coverów był salon babci Spencera. Na szczęście niedługo później przenieśli się do profesjonalnej sali prób, gdzie ćwiczyli wraz z innymi zespołami, którymi się bardzo inspirowali. Jako że nadal się uczyli w liceum i ich życie głównie zależało od rodziców, nie mieli lekko.

From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics Into the 21St Century
FROM PRINTED PAGE TO LIVE HIP HOP: AMERICAN POETRY AND POLITICS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Michael Dowdy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Linda Wagner-Martin Reader: Maria DeGuzmán Reader: Nick Halpern Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: John McGowan © 2005 Michael Dowdy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL DOWDY: From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics into the 21st Century (Under the direction of Linda Wagner-Martin) This project identifies and explains the major rhetorical strategies American poets from Vietnam to the present use to create political poems. It argues that there are many different, though overlapping, approaches to making sociopolitically engaged poetry. Understanding political poetry as a collection of multiple rhetorical strategies moves away from identity- based and subject-based criticism. This project thus considers a number of representative poems from each strategy in order to illuminate each strategy’s intricacies. Further, the contention that hip hop has the most political potential of contemporary poetries suggests convergences with strategies for making printed poetry political. The framework for understanding both hip hop and printed poetry is derived from theories of agency that negotiate the individual’s ability to act according to her purposes in relation to the determining economic, political, and social forces that constrain action. The strategies considered thus emerge from various types of poetic agency: embodied agency, including both experiential and authoritative agency; equivocal agency, including comprehensive and particular varieties; migratory agency; and contestatory urban agency, which includes strategies indigenous to hip hop.
