    Drive-Thru Records From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (March 2013) Drive-Thru Records Founded 1996 Founder Richard Reines Stefanie Reines Distributor(s) INgrooves Genre Pop punk Alternative rock Indie rock Post-hardcore Country of origin USA Location Sherman Oaks, California Official website http://www.myspace.com/drivethrurecords Drive-Thru Records logo used on You Can't Do that on Vinyl Drive-Thru Records, established in 1996, was a California-based record label owned by siblings Richard and Stefanie Reines. The label was responsible for popularizing the pop-punk/emo sound of the early to mid-2000s. After facing financial obstacles in getting their bands' music into stores, Drive-Thru entered into a distribution deal with MCA/Universal. MCA was dissolved and changed into Geffen Records. One of the clauses of that agreement was MCA/Geffen being able to sign any band of their choosing from Drive-Thru's roster. Once the Universal deal ended, they signed a contract with independent label Sanctuary Records. Starting with a new roster, the label garnered a top 10 platinum hit with "Here In Your Arms" by the Hellogoodbye. However, Sanctuary was on the verge of bankruptcy, and sold their assets to Universal Music. Drive-Thru Records got trapped in that deal, and were stuck with UMD, the catalog division of Universal. The label's last release was in 2008, when Richard and Stefanie Reines decided to concentrate on artist management and put Drive-Thru Records on indefinite hiatus.

As Oxfordshire suffered its heaviest rainfall in 40 years on Friday 20th July the festival site ended up under a metre of water. Organisers were forced to postpone the event after the nearby brook burst its banks. Festival founder Robin Bennett suffered a double blow after his family home in Steventon was also flooded. Robin and fellow Truck organisers moved quickly to re-arrange the festival for the weekend of 22nd / 23rd September. All tickets remain valid or refunds are available. With the whole Truck label and Truck foundation, which last year raised over £50,000 for charity, dependent on ticket money from the festival, it’s hoped people will hold on to their tickets and attend the new dates. In a heroic piece of emergency organisation, many of the festivals bands, including The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Garth and Maud Hudson, as SUPERGRASS will become the first Oxford band to headline the new Oxford well as Truck’s own Goldrush, played at Brookes University Union over two Academy when it opens in September.

  • A Guide to Reggae Worksheet
    ORIGINS & INFLUENCES The term ‘Reggae’ is really only supposed to cover the period in Jamaican music from 1969 to about 1979. There are several other very important genres of Jamaican music (or at least, genres that originated from Jamaica) that appeared prior to the style we call ‘Reggae’ today. Once again, blues and R&B are very important influences, not just musically but also socially: both reggae and blues originated as musical expressions of hardship. It only took until the 1940s for Jamaicans to become familiar with the sound of dance hall R&B, both in terms of the jazzy rhythms and the instrumentation. Exposure to this style came through radio and home made ‘sound systems’. The traditional calypso Jamaican folk music – mento – ‘cross pollinated’ with these R&B forms giving birth to Ska, the precursor to Rocksteady and Reggae. Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggae musicians in the 1970s and 1980s. Very generally, the subject matter of reggae songs deals with many subjects other than Rastafari, with love songs, sexual themes and broad social commentary being common. SKA ORIGINS & influences Ska is the first major local Jamaican genre, flourishing from 1961 or 62 to around 1966. The genre gave birth to Rocksteady and then Reggae in around 1968. Ska can be divided into three waves. Ska's popularity has gone up and down since its original creation, and has had revivals of note in England in the 1980s and another wave of popularity in the 1990s. First Wave When New Orleans-style R&B fell out of favor by 1960, Jamaican artists began recording their own version of it, and this became Ska.

As part of its rebranding effort, the TUAA reached out to alumni this summer with an extensive questionnaire, inviting around 10 percent of living graduates to offer feedback on their involvement with the university and their opinions on how the association conducts business. “The purpose of [the survey] was to take a look at the alumni organization’s identity, its messaging and its visual appearance to the outside,” Director of Alumni Relations Tim Brooks said. “We have a desire to keep Tufts alumni together but have never taken a market- JO DUARA/TUFTS DAILY ing or branded study to reach our con- stituents and communicate with them.” Send Word Now test run ‘a success’ Since 2005, the TUAA has conducted Students on Tufts’ three campuses emergency alert system, was introduced ent times than others,” Bartlett said. “In upwards of half a dozen alumni surveys received phone calls and e-mails yes- last school year. “[It] is one of many an actual crisis situation, some modalities in various formats, Brooks said.
