They've got this throbbing synth-pop/dance-rock sound with a badass Asian twist. Their vibe recalls bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division (all that stuff it was fashionable for Asians to listen to back in the day—at least, in my youth), and more recently, The Killers. The Slants' lyrics also don't shy away from controversial themes, grappling with issues of intolerance, racism, prejudice and ethnic pride in between the riffs and beats. This band knows what it's doing. To learn more about The Slants, visit the website and their MySpace profile. The album is available at all the usual online outlets, like Amazon and iTunes.

There’s a good reason for that. This past Friday, for exam- ple, whatzup.com tallied 3,596 individual visitors, and we’re averaging Ybetter than 2,200 unique visitors per day, up about 50 percent from this time last year. We cannot, at this point, calculate how many people visit the site in a week, but we’re quite certain that it’s substantially more than the number of people who pick up the print version each week. Not that we want to discourage those of you who pick up the print version of whatzup from doing so, but you should check out the website as well. Why? Because we can do stuff on whatzup.com that we cannot do in print – things like providing a complete karaoke and DJ calendar; publishing a movie page that includes all of today’s, or tomorrow’s, or the next day’s movie times at all the movie theaters in the area; providing videos of performances by area bands; pro- viding up to date listings of all the national concerts in the region, not just what fits onto three, four or five printed pages – and that’s just scratching the surface.

The Supreme Court of the United States, Trade Mark Law, And
School for Scandal: the Supreme Court of the United States, Trade Mark Law, and Freedom of Speech in the Age of Trump Matthew Rimmer The Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Matal v. Tam in 2017 over the Oregon rock group The Slants sets down a landmark precedent in respect of trade mark law, racism, bigotry, disparagement, and freedom of speech.1 The ruling also larger implications and ramifications for the protection of Indigenous intellectual property – both in respect of the contentious Washington Redskins trademark, and more generally. This case note considers the twin trade mark conflicts over the Slants and the Washington Redskins in the United States. It questions the reasoning of the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Matal v. Tam, raising questions about its coherence and its consistency. It contends that the Supreme Court of the United States ruling is an exceptional one, which would not be easily translated to other jurisdictions such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. 1. The Slants The factual scenario of the dispute in Matal v. Tam is an unusual one.2 Alito J observed of the nature of the dispute: This case concerns a dance-rock band’s application for federal trademark registration of the band’s name, “The Slants.” “Slants” is a derogatory term for persons of Asian descent, and members of the 1 Matal v. Tam 137 S. Ct 1744 (2017) 2 Matal v. Tam 137 S. Ct 1744 (2017) 1 band are Asian–Americans. But the band members believe that by taking that slur as the name of their group, they will help to “reclaim” the term and drain its denigrating force.

The convention expects to welcome over two thousand fans of Japanese animation (anime), comics (manga), gaming, and science fiction to downtown Lancaster for the weekend-long event.

Many convention attendees don costumes of their favorite characters to attend the annual convention. Planned convention events include a variety of educational panels and workshops hosted by volunteers and guests; anime and live action screenings; a costume and skit competition (the "Masquerade"); a hall costume contest; performances by musical guests; a live action role play ("LARP") event; video game tournaments and tabletop gaming; a formal ball and informal dances; and an exhibit hall of anime-themed merchandise and handmade creations from artists.

INTRODUCTION Seven applications to register a trademark for the N-word were filed since June 19, 2017.1 Similar applications were filed for the swastika symbol.2 Prior to that date, a provision of the federal statute governing trademark registration (The Lanham Act) expressly made federal registration unavailable for disparaging terms or symbols.3 In the landmark decision in Matal v. Tam, the Supreme Court held that this ban on disparaging trademarks violated the First Amendment as an unconstitutional restriction on free speech.4 Many questions remain following the decision in Tam. Primarily, clear guidance does not exist for whether similar trademark subject prohibitions included in the Lanham Act also violate the First Amendment as an unconstitutional abridgement of speech.

Justin Bieber Gästar Far East Movements Nya Singel
2012-02-27 13:16 CET Justin Bieber gästar Far East Movements nya singel. Av Gustaf Angelin Efter succén med albumet ”Free Wired” och låtarna ”Like A G6” och ”Rocketeer” är Far East Movement tillbaka. Gruppen skruvar nu upp temperaturen inför kommande albumet ”Dirty Bass” med att imorgon släppa förstasingeln ”Live My Life” på iTunes. Electro hop-kvartetten har här fått celebert besök av Justin Bieber vars smäktande stämma hörs i refrängen. “We’re thrilled to have Justin be a part of Dirty Bass, säger Kev Nish. FM has always focused on unexpected collaborations and mashing up musical genres which keeps making music exciting. ‘Live My Life,’ is a song we think both FM and Bieber fans will enjoy together.”– Kev Nish Den Red One-producerade singeln backas även upp av en Party Rock-remix gästad av Redfoo från LMFAO. ”Dirty Bass”, som släpps senare i vår, innehåller utöver detta samarbeten med namn som Bangladesh, Dallas Austin and Cherry Cherry Boom Boom. Arbetet med albumet påbörjades under I Am Music-turnen med Lil Wayne förra sommaren och kommer färdigställas under den pågående Cherrytree Pop Alternative-turnen med ovan nämnda LMFAO. "We've been performing the “Live My Life” Party Rock remix with Redfoo on the Cherrytree Pop Alternative tour and the reaction has been met with hands in the air and hype energy. We’re looking forward to the song at radio and everybody partying wherever they’re listening.”– Prohgress Se gruppens egna ord om nya singeln här: Universal Music är Sveriges och världens ledande musikbolag med representation i hela 71 länder.
