The Cave Photograph by Colin Young-Wolff MUMFORD & SONS: LIVE FROM THE ARTISTS DEN The 1920s glamour of the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles provided a stunning setting for a triumphant performance by Mumford & Sons. The band delivered songs from its recent Number One album, Babel, along with such hits as “Little Lion Man” and “I Will Wait.” Mumford & Sons thrilled the invitation-only crowd of 800 throughout its rousing set, closing the evening with a blistering rendition of “The Cave” from the classic, multi-platinum debut Sigh No More. ARTIST BIO Mumford & Sons was formed in 2007 by English vocalist/multi-instrumentalists Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, “Country” Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane. The band’s first recorded material, an EP entitled Love Your Ground, was released in 2009, followed shortly thereafter by its breakout, full- length debut, Sigh No More. The band steadily gained popularity throughout 2010, receiving increased popularity after its electrifying performance with Bob Dylan at the Grammy Awards. The album won the BRIT Award for Best British Album in 2011 and was nominated for six Grammy Awards. Following months of touring, the band reconvened in Nashville to begin work on new material.

    www.elboomeran.com CASCABELES GUITARRAS Sobre cómo MUMFORD & SONS han convertido la & música de raíces en el futuro del rock. Por Brian Hiatt 34 rollingstone.es www.elboomeran.com n las profundi- dades de acero y cristal del es- tadio O2 londi- nense Marcus Mumford en- ciende un palo de incienso. “Palo santo”, dice, con Eun jocoso tono reverencial, inspi- rando profundamente mientras su camerino se llena de humo cí- trico: “¡Madera sagrada, colega!”. Cuando Mumford acaba una fra- se con la palabra “colega”, es habi- tual que a continuación venga una amistosa palmada en la espalda; incluso, cuando no la da, que- da implícita. Es un tipo grande, de cara ancha, con expresión de cierta arrogancia, adornada aho- ra con un bigote a lo Errol Flynn. Pero en sus ojos, que fluctúan entre el marrón y el azul (“Mi madre lo llama color avellana”) hay algo vulnerable y escrutador. Mumford, de 26 años, lleva dos meses sufriendo unas bru- tales migrañas producidas por el estrés, y jura que el palo santo, un tipo de incienso sudame- ricano, es lo único que consigue aliviarlas. “Lo he probado todo, hasta he llegado a hacerme un escáner del cerebro”, explica. Hace poco que el productor T Bone Burnett le introdujo en el uso de este tipo de incienso, algo bastan- te razonable: Burnett eligió las canciones para la banda sonora de la película de los Cohen O brother (2000), recopilación de música de raí- ces e influencia clave en la estética color sepia de Mumford & Sons. “Siempre me siento ligeramente avergon- zado cuando digo que O brother es una gran influencia”, comenta Mumford, quien tenía 13 años cuando se estrenó la película.

  • A Natural Experiment Testing the Effect of Casualties on Local Opinion
    Bringing it Home: A Natural Experiment Testing the Effect of Casualties on Local Opinion DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Teresa Ann Myers, M.A. Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Andrew F. Hayes, Advisor Gerald Kosicki Erik Nisbet Copyright by Teresa Ann Myers 2010 Abstract Of the many costs of war, the number of soldiers‘ lives lost has been argued to be one of the most influential determinants of the public‘s support. In this paper I test the effect of news about a hometown soldier‘s death on opinion about the war, through use of a natural experiment. I test whether the effect of a soldier‘s death on opinion depends upon an individual‘s political ideology. Additionally, through the use of cross-classified multilevel modeling, I test whether the effect of a soldier‘s death on opinion depends on community factors such as political leaning, structural diversity, or population size, along with simultaneously examining how the effect may change over time. Furthermore, I suggest that more structurally diverse communities are likely to publish more dissent about the war than less pluralistic communities, leading to a lower level of support for the war. To assess this effect of deaths on opinion, data were aggregated from 55 nationally representative surveys conducted by the Pew Center for the People and the Press between 2003 and 2009 (including a total of 86,626 respondents), and matched with casualties that had occurred in the respondents DMA in the same time frame the respondent had been surveyed.
