The researchers looked at the different characteristics of music, including harmony, chords changes and timbres (the tonal quality of the music), and then analysed how they changed over time. Dr Mauch said: "A lot of hair metal and stadium rock, like Bon Jovi and Bruce Spingsteen, came into the charts, and they had a bigger share of the overall charts.]]></description>

For example, Soz made fun of Kozzie for driving a Smart car: “I was like, ‘Wagwarn with your Smart car?/ That’s slow/ Would have been better if you got a Volvo.’” In general, clashes for some people are an outlet to either be funny or to express anger without being angry in the physical – Kozzie uses his presence to make that point, and I think it works.]]></description>

Whereas hope and fear are superstitious (although they may have some hyperstitional effects), confidence is essentially hyperstitional: it immediately increases the capacity to act, the capacity to act increases confidence, and so on – a self-fulfilling prophecy, a virtuous spiral. It can give us the resources to behave, think and act differently at work (if it makes any sense to talk about being ‘at’ work any more), where capitalist realism has become second nature.]]></description>

Our current Internet hangover had been encroaching for a while, but for me, the moment that felt most like the official end of an era was in January, when Hipster Runoff was sold by its elusive mastermind, at that point known only as "Carles."

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“I always get, like, my parents or an adult saying, ‘This is great, you have a message, you have themes, you have different genres of music.’ But to get a kid actually telling me this, it’s a different type of feeling, ’cause it lets me know that their thought process is just as advanced as mine, even if I’m 10, 15 years older.”
Lamar’s day began in Mooney’s classroom, where the teacher’s poetry club and English class met their guest and displayed some of their work. Poetry club member Aaleah Oliver brought her peers to their feet with her poem “Out of Many, One.” From there, a panel — Lamar; education activist Jamila Lyiscott; hip-hop education advocate and Teachers College, Columbia University professor Christopher Emdin; the school’s assistant principal Allyson Krone; and a recent High ]]></description>

If you had attended the Audio Engineering Society’s Paris trade fair in February 1995, you would have encountered debates on architectural acoustics, audio signal processing and psychoacoustics. Stephen Witt’s How Music Got Free details decades of foolishness in the industry and its decline in the 21st century by focusing on three simultaneous developments: the construction and massive growth of the Universal label, Brandenburg’s efforts to get the MP3 taken seriously and the contemporaneous development of the internet, on which a tiny group of hip-hop fans and computer geeks slowly dismantled a multimillion-pound industry.]]></description>

The Phantom box is decorated with four artsy photos: a bare-chested male model with yakuza tats (because Devialet is cool), a bare-chested female model showing major side boob (because Devialet is sexy), four Roman Corinthian columns (because ancient architecture is classy, and so is Devialet), and a cresting ocean wave framed by an ominous gray sky, an obvious reference to the Albert Camus quote: “There is no end to the sky and waters. How well they accompany sadness!” (Because Devialet is French and if they don’t reference Camus, who will?)
Remove the slip cover, flip open the hinged box, and there, nestled inside—protected by a plastic shell, and plenty of high-density, form-fitting Styrofoam—is the object of our lustful desire: the Phantom.]]></description>

So if you want to know what this interesting time of experimentation with media distribution and technology looked like, make it as specific as you can to that time because then it has potential to be a more definitive document of that time.]]></description>

That contrast between the severity of his father’s addiction and Staples’ still-innocent view gives the song its tragic levity.

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[According to a report by The Tennessean, Kadish didn’t clarify to the roundtable’s five members of the House of Representatives exactly how the songwriting proceeds were split between himself and Trainor (who shared songwriting credits on “Bass”), but he did allege that the average streaming-service payout for a song’s songwriting team is roughly $90 per million streams. How do you feed your family?”
The reason Kadish and other songwriters were complaining to members of Congress, as opposed to representatives from either music labels or streaming services, is because American songwriters are paid per play through what’s known as a “mechanical license”—a term derived from all the way back in 1911, when songwriters’ works were distributed in the United States via piano rolls.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Last year, Friedberg was diagnosed with a very rare form of leukemia, and while he says it is “manageable,” he describes the diagnosis as “not the kind of shit that makes you want to go to the club.” Rather than being designed with the club in mind, much of Iron Cages is “hazy and angry memories of the club.” For example, he began work on ‘Black Jacobins’ in the hospital: “It’s a very primal scream.”
‘Black Jacobins’ is named after a book about the Haitian Revolution by influential Caribbean Marxist writer C.L.R. “Confronting the nature of evil in the middle of outer space is my thing.”
By taking elements from various threads of club music and translating them to tell personal stories, Rizzla is similar to contemporaries like Rabit and M.E.S.H, artists whose music sounds great on a club system, even if it isn’t built with the club in mind.]]></description>

After that record, vocalist Buttery left the group because, in Whalley’s words, “our ideas just didn’t come together like they did on the previous record.” Darkstar’s founding duo set about returning to “that mix between human and electronic we were pulling on when we first starting making music on Hyperdub.” Buttery’s voice has now been replaced by Whalley’s, whose tone sits high in his register and close in your ear; but more fundamental than their stylistic shift is the change in what they want to say. “I’ve found [election coverage] was a phase of certain publications’ shelf life, and I think it’s such an important and impactful decision that [the country has] made and it’s just been forgotten.” More broadly, what drove Darkstar to make this record was seeing “the north not being documented in an accurate way”—Young relates his frustration with the mass media’s]]></description>
