On this day in 1770, Ludwig van Beethoven was born. This German maestro didn't just compose music; he orchestrated a revolution in sound that still influences artists like The Beatles and The Who. Cheers to a legacy that rocks on! 🎶 #history #cronologia #Beethoven #classicalmusic

Where Television Shatters Chronology and Logic, Rap Shows Us How to Dance on Shards

Sampling is the Auditory Form of Hacking through a Database

By Rickey Vincent
#Mondo2000 #Cyberpunk
Musically the 1980's will not go down in history as a decade of new ideas. The 1980's will be remembered for its fetish for nostalgia and rampant consumerism, with rebel artists struggling to provide marginal social commentary under the paternalistic guidance of record executives and Congressional decrees. The hyper-escapism and insularity of popular culture is merely a symptom of America's fear of the future, fear of technology, and in many cases, fear of reality. Yet out of the digitally recorded rubble of today's American culture, one indigenous post-modern movement is thriving completely on its own terms. The musical culture of rap music, known as Hip-Hop, has proliferated to the point where American tradition is forced to define itself in terms of this inner city phenomenon. Musically, a technological revolution in sound production has occurred, and the most prolific example of its possibilities is in the production of rap music. The surgical sound-grafting of sampling, the symmetric sound distortion of "scratching", the audio strobe effect known as "transforming" and a number of other recording and production techniques have opened an entirely new and vital medium which serves as everything from news broadcast to pop art. Hip-Hop finds the rhythm in the dissonance of the electronic media, makes sense of it, channels it and spits it back out of your speakers in the form of stories, boasts and lessons. Hip-Hop is the deliberate manipulation of beats and recorded sound inputs from any source into a musical experience with its own authentic rhythm and consciousness. Jon Pareles of the New York Times said of rap: "In its structure and content, rap is the music of the television age, and the first truly popular music to adopt the fast, fractured rhythms, the bizarre juxtapositions and the ceaseless self-promotion that are as much a part of television as logos and laugh tracks. Where television shatters chronology and logic, rap shows us how to dance on shards" Most Americans are cursed to suffer in submission to the technology of their environment, but the Hip-Hoppers control many of the tools of the technological revolution, they are making millions of dollars, and dragging American culture kicking and screaming into the 21st century This relentless technical revolution began in New York dance clubs in the 1970s, when disc jockeys began to gain fame manipulating records on a pair of turntables, adjusting their speed and mixing two songs "on beat" to create a new sound sensation all its own. They would then interject sound bits or lyrics from one disc onto another by rotating one record manually back and forth. This activity caused a "scratching" sound, and mutated the once sacred recorded song into a twisted snippet of percussion, signifying whatever message the deejay decides to leave in your helpless, dancing soul. These musical medleys provided the backdrop for the rhyming, hyped microphone styles of the club MCs and soon-to-be-professional rappers Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson concedes: "Hip-Hop may very well be the most radical expansion of our culture since jazz." Africa, one of the members of the Jungle Brothers explains, "rap is a positive disease, and it's going to get beneath the skin of everybody." Sampling is the auditory form of hacking through a database. A certain functional anarchy is involved which one might argue is good for the soul. But what's good for the soul has not always been good for capitalism. Sampling is a multi-million dollar business with far-reaching implications for the way we view art and the world around us William Gibson's famous cyberpunk statement that the street finds its own use for things is surely true. And armed with an African tradition of rhythm and vitality, black youth are obligated to become masters of these postmodern noise makers. Nevertheless, the only claim they make is that they can "rock the house." Who will pay attention to these "masters" of post-modernism?

A translation of the first verse makes Wertmüller's association a bit less surprising:

“History teaches us
That a hungry people
will start a revolution
That’s why hunger needs to be fought against
So ‘good appetite’
Let’s have breakfast
Long live pappa col [with] pomodoro."

Call for papers for our new special issue on 'Nocturnal London', edited by Maurizio Cinquegrani, Yihong Zhu, and @mcmccluskey.bsky.social. Abstracts due in by 31 March 2026.

All submissions and reposts much appreciated.
Nocturnal London: From Torches to Neon Signs in a City After Dark Edited by Maurizio Cinquegrani, Yihong Zhu and Michael McCluskey The editors of this special issue, Maurizio Cinquegrani, Yihong Zhu and Michael McCluskey invite submissions on the theme of London nights. This volume of the London Journal will examine the histories of the city after dark, from its origins in Roman London to the present. Often overlooked, night has long been an essential dimension of urban life: as the city’s appearance change in the lightening of torches, oil lamps, gaslight, incendiary bombs and neon signs, nocturnal imagery, sounds, smells and professions – legal and not legal – emerge from the darkness. For Londoners, the night was never simply the absence of day; it was a time of danger, sociability, and creativity; a theatre of crime and vice, but also of performance, work, and pleasure. The special issue will place particular emphasis on moments when the character of London’s nights was especially contested, including – but not limited to – the Elizabethan, the eighteenth century, the Victorian, the wartime and the postwar city. The Elizabethan period witnessed the emergence of the city’s playhouses, taverns, and nocturnal entertainments, alongside concerns about disorder and moral decline. Eighteenth-century coffee-houses and club meetings reflected the nocturnal city’s uneasy mix of polite sociability and transgressive undercurrents, while pleasure gardens flourished as spaces of spectacle, employment, cross-class mingling, and erotic charge under cover of darkness. In the Victorian era, the introduction of gaslight transformed both the material and imaginative experience of the night, making the city’s streets newly navigable while also exposing poverty, vice, and vulnerability to the gaze of reformers, police, photographers, and journalists. Wartime London, by contrast, was marked by darkness and silence imposed from above: the blackout and the Blitz remade the urban night as a zone of danger, solidarity, and belonging. The postwar decades, and especially the 1960s, brought the era of Swinging London, in which nightlife became emblematic of youth, fashion, music, and cultural revolution. Equally important are the particular districts that have defined London’s reputation after dark, including – but again not limited to – the West End and the East End. The East End has been imagined as a zone of poverty, danger, and cultural resilience, alive with street-level economies that flourished under cover of night. The West End has long been associated with theatres, clubs, and the rituals of fashionable display. Soho, especially in the twentieth century, became a microcosm of cosmopolitanism, transgression, and reinvention, providing a home for migrants, artists, musicians, and London’s gay community, who together redefined the possibilities of nocturnal sociability. Beyond districts and periods, we also invite reflections on the people who navigated, transformed, and reimagined the nocturnal city. The editors are especially keen to foreground questions of diversity and difference. How have London’s nights been inhabited, shaped, and contested by women, by queer citizens, by migrants and racialised communities, and by those whose working lives were tied to the hours of darkness? How was night both policed and celebrated? How did nocturnal spaces serve as arenas of negotiation between surveillance and resistance, authority and anonymity, privilege and precarity? How have representations in literature, theatre, music, art, and film contributed to the cultural meanings of the nocturnal city? We welcome submissions from across the disciplines, including history, literary and cultural studies, art history, archaeology, urban geography, sociology, performance and media studies, as well as ecology, environmental humanities, and architecture and urbanism. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, as are contributions that combine archival research with theoretical or methodological innovation. Abstracts of 300–400 words, accompanied by a short biographical statement, should be submitted by 31 March 2026. Full-length articles will be in the range of 6,000–8,000 words and are due by 31 March 2027. Please send proposals and queries to Maurizio Cinquegrani, Yihong Zhu, and Michael McCluskey (m.cinquegrani@kent.ac.uk, scarlett.zhu24@gmail.com, and m.mccluskey@northeastern.edu) with the subject line Nocturnal London Special Issue.

Guter mehrteiliger Podcast über Fela Kuti.
pca.st/lvpj5269
Fela Kuti: Fear No Man In a world that’s on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed? In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world’s biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela’s Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela’s life, music, and legacy. Drawing from over 200 interviews with Fela Kuti’s family, friends, as well as scholars, activists, and luminaries like Burna Boy, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Santigold, and former President Barack Obama (just to name a few), Fela Kuti: Fear No Man journeys deep into the soul of Afrobeat to explore the transformative power of art and the role artists can play in this current moment of global unrest.

Not a record, but I love my books too! Just picked up “IN THE GROOVE Vinyl Record and The Turntable Revolution”. I cannot wait to sit down and start reading. That is where I am headed now. Night all!
#books #booksky #nowspinning #lp #vinyl #records #turntables #vinylcommunity #music #vinylrecords
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first commercial LP with this authoritative, highly illustrated, and multi-faceted look at the history and culture of vinyl record collecting and turntables. Vinyl records continue to be hot commodities among everyone from obsessive audiophiles to newbie collectors getting their toes wet. In the Groove: The Vinyl Record and Turntable Revolution is the book for both—and everyone in between. Published to mark the 75th year since the introduction of the commercial LP, In the Groove is written by a roster of well-known music journalists, vinyl junkies, and stereophiles teaming up to present a gorgeous tribute to the vinyl LP and the culture it has spawned: Richie Unterberger explores the history of the 33 1/3 LP, including its predecessor, the 78rpm record, the first commercial LPs, the pressing process, stereo vs. mono, and formats like the 7-inch/45rpm record. Gillian Gaar tackles those temples to the turntable: record stores. Inside, she examines the history of LP merchandising everywhere from department stores to headshops, Record Store Day, the artist in-store appearance, and swap meets and record shows. Martin Popoff pens a paean to the physical object itself, discussing the advent of the sleeve, the great LP covers, famous sleeve designers, liner notes and packaging, colored vinyl, and more. Matt Anniss looks at the collecting hobby and topics like obsessive collectors, what makes a great listening space, playing and caring for vinyl, collecting and vinyl in DJ and hip-hop cultures, and the mixtape phenomenon. Ken Micallef, a top hifi journalist, has the gearheads covered with explanations of turntables from portables to audiophile-quality units, the workings and parts of a turntable from motors and tonearms to plinths and cartridges, and the components of a system. In the Groove is illustrated throughout with images of gear, listening spaces, record stores, sleeve art, and celebrities and musicians enjoying the vinyl hobby through the decades. Brief, entertaining sidebars cover topics like famous labels from Stax to Sub Pop, famous EPs, well-known record stores, milestone LP covers, a beginner’s guide to grading, and formats that have challenged the supremacy of the LP, including 8-track, reel-to-reel, and cassette. Feel the groove with this effervescent ode to vinyl. "...a fascinating read, and the accompanying photos are excellent in illustrating the story and are essential to this book...a brilliant book and would be the perfect Christmas gift for the collectors on your holiday shopping list. The book is full of detailed asides, which make it so fascinating to read. It is those little touches that add so much to the overall book and make it such a necessary addition to your library.―Spill Magazine "Jam-packed with amazing photography, this fascinating book is the perfect gift for anyone who cherishes their stereo and vinyl collection but offers info and inspiration for others who are just starting theirs."―Addicted Magazine Gillian G. Gaar has written for numerous publications, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, and Goldmine. Previous books include She’s a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll; Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana; Return of the King: Elvis Presley’s Great Comeback; Elton John at 75; and Bruce Springsteen at 75. She lives in Seattle. Working out of Toronto, Canada, Martin Popoff (martinpopoff.com) has penned more than 100 books on hard rock, heavy metal, classic rock, and record collecting, including Rush: The Illustrated History, The Clash: All the Albums, All the Songs, Led Zeppelin: All the Albums, All the Songs, Pink Floyd: Album by Album, Bowie at 75, AC/DC at 50, and Kiss at 50. In addition, he has appeared in Revolver, Guitar World, Goldmine, RecordCollector, bravewords.com, lollipop.com, and hardradio.com.Films. Richie Unterberger is the author of numerous rock history books, including The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film, which won a 2007 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research in the “Best Discography” division of the “Best Research in Recorded Rock Music” category. His other books include Fleetwood Mac: The Ultimate Illustrated History and Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Ultimate Illustrated History.. Matt Anniss is an author, journalist, speaker, DJ, and content creator with over 20 years experience. Anniss rose to prominence following the publication of his critically acclaimed exploration of bleep techno and the foundations of the “UK bass” sound, Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music (2019). He is also the co-author of the best-selling The Vinyl Manual, and his work has appeared in International DJ Magazine (IDJ), DJ magazine, Mixmag, and elsewhere. Ken Micallef is a New York-based freelance journalist, contributing to Stereophile Magazine, AnalogPlanet.com, and Downbeat.

It's a story of apocalyptic failure and supernatural revolution. We explore how a powerful animated music video could tell the secret history of the angels from the Defiant RPG. Read the theory and share your take.
Is this animated music video a secret prequel to the Defiant RPG?
This stunning music video tells a story of fallen angels and a world lost to apocalypse. We argue it's the perfect, unofficial origin story for the popular tabletop RPG, Defiant.
