Download or read book Hungry Beat written by Douglas MacIntyre and published by White Rabbit. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Hungry Beat is the story of an all-too-brief era where the short-circuiting of that industry seemed viable. But hell, the times were luminous as was the music these artists made. The songs and many of the players remain, and here they tell their story and lick their wounds' Ian Rankin The immense cultural contribution made by two maverick Scottish independent music labels, Fast Product and Postcard, cannot be underestimated. Bob Last and Hilary Morrison in Edinburgh, followed by Alan Horne and Edwyn Collins in Glasgow helped to create a confidence in being Scottish that hitherto had not existed in pop music (or the arts in general in Scotland). Their fierce independent spirit stamped a mark of quality and intelligence on everything they achieved, as did their role in the emergence of regional independent labels and cultural agitators, such as Rough Trade, Factory and Zoo. Hungry Beat is a definitive oral history of these labels and the Scottish post-punk period. Covering the period 1977-1984, the book begins with the Subway Sect and the Slits performance on the White Riot tour in Edinburgh and takes us through to Bob Last shepherding the Human League from experimental electronic artists on Fast Product to their triumphant number one single in the UK and USA, Don't You Want Me. Largely built on interviews for Grant McPhee's Big Gold Dream film with Last, Hilary Morrison, Paul Morley and members of The Human League, Scars, The Mekons, Fire Engines, Josef K, Aztec Camera, The Go-Betweens and The Bluebells, Hungry Beat offers a comprehensive overview of one of the most important periods of Scottish cultural output and the two labels that changed the landscape of British music.

Book Cherokee Language Lessons

Download or read book Cherokee Language Lessons written by Michael Joyner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the keys to acquiring a new language is to learn the patterns that make up the language. Simply learning phrases so you can speak "pidgin" Cherokee is not learning Cherokee. You need to learn the fundamentals of the language on how words are put together to be able to understand and communicate in the language. There are many degrees of meaning that different word parts provide and if you don't learn these shades of meaning up front and how they are expressed you will never progress beyond simple memorized phrases and never obtain satisfaction with the language. While each person's skill will differ, one should strive to gain enough understanding of the mechanics of language to be able to comprehend and communicate effectively. The goal of this material is to provide you a solid structural foundation on how Cherokee works. You will learn how words are put together in basic sentences and how to form new words for ideas not listed in the dictionary.

Book Litpop  Writing and Popular Music

Download or read book Litpop Writing and Popular Music written by Rachel Carroll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together exciting new interdisciplinary work from emerging and established scholars in the UK and beyond, Litpop addresses the question: how has writing past and present been influenced by popular music, and vice versa? Contributions explore how various forms of writing have had a crucial role to play in making popular music what it is, and how popular music informs ’literary’ writing in diverse ways. The collection features musicologists, literary critics, experts in cultural studies, and creative writers, organised in three themed sections. ’Making Litpop’ explores how hybrids of writing and popular music have been created by musicians and authors. ’Thinking Litpop’ considers what critical or intellectual frameworks help us to understand these hybrid cultural forms. Finally, ’Consuming Litpop’ examines how writers deal with music’s influence, how musicians engage with literary texts, and how audiences of music and writing understand their own role in making ’Litpop’ happen. Discussing a range of genres and periods of writing and popular music, this unique collection identifies, theorizes, and problematises connections between different forms of expression, making a vital contribution to popular musicology, and literary and cultural studies.

Book Feeding the Hungry

Download or read book Feeding the Hungry written by Michelle Jurkovich and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity poses one of the most pressing development and human security challenges in the world. In Feeding the Hungry, Michelle Jurkovich examines the social and normative environments in which international anti-hunger organizations are working and argues that despite international law ascribing responsibility to national governments to ensure the right to food of their citizens, there is no shared social consensus on who ought to do what to solve the hunger problem. Drawing on interviews with staff at top international anti-hunger organizations as well as archival research at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the UK National Archives, and the U.S. National Archives, Jurkovich provides a new analytic model of transnational advocacy. In investigating advocacy around a critical economic and social right—the right to food—Jurkovich challenges existing understandings of the relationships among human rights, norms, and laws. Most important, Feeding the Hungry provides an expanded conceptual tool kit with which we can examine and understand the social and moral forces at play in rights advocacy.

Book Hungry

  • Author : Dr. Robin L. Smith
  • Publisher : Hay House, Inc
  • Release : 2014-02-22
  • ISBN : 140194003X
  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Hungry written by Dr. Robin L. Smith and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even though I looked alive and vital, the hourglass measuring the aliveness of my soul was swiftly draining to the bottom. I was losing my battle to be myself. I was in my prime. My career was taking off; I was surrounded by loving friends and family. Yet it felt like time was running out." Dr. Robin L. Smith, noted psychologist, ordained minister, motivational speaker, and best-selling author of Lies at the Altar, seemed to have the perfect life, but underneath it all, she felt empty. In this powerful new work, Dr. Robin painstakingly chronicles a time when she felt at the end of her rope, unable to truly see herself or escape the unrelenting craving in her heart. Throughout her life, she had always focused on living up to everyone else’s expectations, doing everything they asked—everything they recommended—in the hopes that by pleasing others she would find fulfillment and success. Instead she found herself spiritually and emotionally starved with a hungry soul begging for change. Through vivid descriptions of the symptoms of her hunger, the gnawing emptiness in her soul, and her courageous journey to discovering herself, Dr. Robin opens a window into her own experiences in order to provide insight into yours. With clarity and empathy she starts you on a path to uncovering the real you—the you that lays beneath all the doubt, superficiality, and life crises. Dr. Robin honestly bares her soul and shares her story—plus stories of other hungry souls including her friends, clients from her psychology practice, family, and celebrities—and in the process, teaches you to recognize, survive, embrace, and conquer your own hunger. She teaches you to step into your own story so you can listen to and learn from the wisdom within.

Download or read book Box Wine Sailors written by Amy McCullough and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a young couple who quit their jobs and set sail for a year on the ocean with no boating experienceAmy and Jimmie were not sailors and their experience on the seas included reading a few books, watching a couple of instructional videos, and boating once a week each year. They were middle-class land-lubbers, audacious and in love, and all they wanted was to be together and do something extraordinary. The Box Wine Sailors tells the true story of a couple's ramshackle trip down the coast with all the exulting highs and terrifying lows of sailing a small boat on the Pacific. From sailing on Thanksgiving morning under spectacular bright blue Californian skies just off the Channel Islands as dolphins raced alongside their boat to the terrifying experience of rounding Punta Gorda and hanging on to the mast for dear life. It also tells the story of two very normal people doing what most people only dream of and settling the argument that if you want something bad enough you can make it happen.

Download or read book I d Rather Be Sorry written by Dottie Lou Bolme and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many changes occur as Dottie, after six years single, tries to adjust to sharing a life with an over-achieving, not so faithful spouse. Except for a Minneapolis 8-track recording endeavor and a weekly guest shot on a local TV show, (Arrowhead Country), it seems Dottie's career is in a slump, placed on a back burner. The new marriage pressures many new demands flooding the scenario. Precious time is diverted to family, taking the spotlight away from music. Teen-age undisciplined upheavals arise, as do snowmobiling excursions, camping trysts, race-track diversions, putting stress on limited time slots. A Paris, France adventure, with a brief appearance in a French Band revitalized Dottie's passion for her career and she returns with renewed passion for life, but less for marriage. Priorly, in her adamant testimony of her moralizing, self-righteous virtues, Dottie is now forced to EAT CROW as she joins the coterie of the "Angels Flying too Close to the Ground" at the Gopher 'Peyton Place! The Result?? An intriguing blurr on a downhill glide, in a new direction to infidility, Fervent, impetuous Passion and Euphoric Ecstasy!
