Chappell Roan has politely but firmly shut down an Australian touring tradition during her Laneway Festival set on the Gold Coast. During her show on Friday (7 February), the 'Pink Pony Club' singer was urged by the crowd to do a "shoey" - an Aussie ritual that involves drinking alcohol from a shoe - before realising what was being asked of her.
The initial visual explorations began with reliefs, working with a static approach which allowed Saad to focus on how visuals could layer and live together later down the line. After they were sculpted and assembled in 3D animation, Saad began pulling out individual vignettes to explore motion, a key goal "was to keep things both sculptural and kinetic - balancing crafted moments of stillness against bursts of movement".
The charming Amersham fairground organ museum, which is usually open a few Sundays per year, has now started offering guided tours. The occasional open days are more a chance to sit and listen to the old fair organs playing their pipes, and have a nice lunch at the same time. However, the guided tours, which will take place on Saturdays, will offer a deeper dive into their collection of organs and the music cards that control them.
Even if you're just a casual jazz fan, you probably recognize "Take the A Train," Duke Ellington's swinging theme song. Or you've heard the melancholy ballad "Lush Life" sung by Nat King Cole, by Linda Ronstadt during her Great American Songbook era, or by Lady Gaga on the album she recorded with Tony Bennett. Both of those - and many other tunes - were written by a gay man, musician, composer, and arranger Billy Strayhorn.
I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of our son, Nathan Smith. His mother [Nicole Smith] and I are devastated, the statement said. Lil Jon described his son as an amazingly talented young man who was a music producer, artist, engineer and New York University graduate. Thank you for all of the prayers and support in trying to locate him over the last several days. Thank you to the entire Milton police department involved, the Snap Yo Fingers rapper added.
What does Comic Sans sound like? What does it feel like? And is it actually kinda good? These were the questions ever-present in the minds of early PC Music acts like Kero Kero Bonito's Gus Bonito, who, to this day, performs DJ sets in front of a strobing projection of his moniker Kane West in the notorious font.
He sings the names of the dead haltingly, as though he is reading them off a screen-which, judging from the recording-studio footage in the song's lyric video, he probably is. The song is about the news, but it is also, perhaps unintentionally, about the moment of lag when we absorb the names and images, when we try to assimilate atrocity into narrative.
