  • ISBN : 1625854137
  • Pages : 176 pages

Download or read book South St Paul written by Lois A. Glewwe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community.

Book Everything is an Afterthought

Download or read book Everything is an Afterthought written by Kevin Avery and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to Paul Nelson? In the '60s, he pioneered rock & roll criticism with a first-person style of writing that would later be popularized by the likes of Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer as “New Journalism.” As co-founding editor of The Little Sandy Review and managing editor of Sing Out!, he’d already established himself, to use his friend Bob Dylan’s words, as “a folk-music scholar”; but when Dylan went electric in 1965, Nelson went with him. During a five-year detour at Mercury Records in the early 1970s, Nelson signed the New York Dolls to their first recording contract, then settled back down to writing criticism at Rolling Stone as the last in a great tradition of record-review editors that included Jon Landau, Dave Marsh, and Greil Marcus. Famously championing the early careers of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, and Warren Zevon, Nelson not only wrote about them but often befriended them. Never one to be pigeonholed, he was also one of punk rock’s first stateside mainstream proponents, embracing the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. But in 1982, he walked away from it all — Rolling Stone, his friends, and rock & roll. By the time he died in his New York City apartment in 2006 at the age of seventy — a week passing before anybody discovered his body — almost everything he’d written had been relegated to back issues of old music magazines. How could a man whose writing had been so highly regarded have fallen so quickly from our collective memory? With Paul Nelson’s posthumous blessing, Kevin Avery spent four years researching and writing Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writing of Paul Nelson. This unique anthology-biography compiles Nelson’s best works (some of it previously unpublished) while also providing a vivid account of his private and public lives. Avery interviewed almost 100 of Paul Nelson’s friends, family, and colleagues, including several of the artists about whom he’d written.

  • Author : Nicole Starosielski
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2015-03-02
  • ISBN : 0822376229
  • Pages : 469 pages

Download or read book The Undersea Network written by Nicole Starosielski and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our "wireless" world it is easy to take the importance of the undersea cable systems for granted, but the stakes of their successful operation are huge, as they are responsible for carrying almost all transoceanic Internet traffic. In The Undersea Network Nicole Starosielski follows these cables from the ocean depths to their landing zones on the sandy beaches of the South Pacific, bringing them to the surface of media scholarship and making visible the materiality of the wired network. In doing so, she charts the cable network's cultural, historical, geographic and environmental dimensions. Starosielski argues that the environments the cables occupy are historical and political realms, where the network and the connections it enables are made possible by the deliberate negotiation and manipulation of technology, culture, politics and geography. Accompanying the book is an interactive digital mapping project, where readers can trace cable routes, view photographs and archival materials, and read stories about the island cable hubs.

Book The Deejays the First Fifty Years

Download or read book The Deejays the First Fifty Years written by Arnold Passman and published by . This book was released on 2021-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An electronic extension of the count­less traveling salesmen and medicine men who crisscrossed America during its expansion, the 'faceless' deejay ... the pop propagandist who is the Amer­ican Dream - or a nightmare of a Knight Mercantile."The Deejays is the first fut story of the tribal chieftains who manipulate-pos­sibly create -popula taste with every spin of their timetable. It is also the history of the countrywide radio stations and the re­cording companies and their role in the extravaganza. The immense growth of radio in the United States since the Depression can be traced directly through the evolution of the deeiay who played records, interspersed with announcements of time, weather, and news, and most importantly peddled merchandise. In the beginning, they often spieled for dubious patent medicines or cut-rate clothing and furniture stores. Later, as national advertisers saw the possibilities for big profits from a small in­vestment in air time, they began buying into the recorded music programs on the air nearly twenty-four hours a day from radio stations across country. At first, stations were reluctant to shell out cash just to play records. Recording firms, band leaders, and top singers feared an adverse effect on sales. The opposite happened, with every promoter eventually battling to get his discs released first on top shows, paving the way for huge incomes for major deejays, and the payola scandals that rocked the country late in 1959 when adoring fans saw many of their idols toppled in disgrace. The individual stories of the deejays are fascinating. Many of the diskers are quoted directly, talking frankly and irreverently about their jobs and bosses, tunes and trends, frustrations and triumph. Just how powerful they were, especially in their influence on younger listeners, is a question Arnold Passman explores in depth. Look­ing to the future, he concludes that the day of the mass audience is over and that, increasingly, broadcasters will follow the read of such listener-supportecl stations as KPFK, Los Angeles; KPFA, Berkeley; and WBAI, New York, in appealing to a selective audience through true community service programming.
