R.I.P. Dave Brubeck: Pioneering Jazz Legend Dies At 91

R.I.P. Dave Brubeck: Pioneering Jazz Legend Dies At 91
from stereogum.com: The great jazz pianist >Dave Brubeck died [Wednesday, December 5th] of heart failure in Norwalk, Connecticut. He would’ve been 92 [the next day]. Brubeck grew up on a cattle ranch in California, and he studied zoology in college before switching over to music. While serving in Patton’s Third Army during World War II, he formed one of the Army’s first racially integrated bands. During the war, he also studied experimental music under Arnold Schoenberg. And when Brubeck rose to fame with his Dave Brubeck Quartet in the ’50s, he applied new tonalities and unconventional time signatures to his music, while still keeping it breezy and accessible. He sold millions and ended up on the cover of Time magazine and he did it without losing the exploratory side of his music.

Famed Feminist Says Hollyweird Is Ruining Women

Camille Paglia: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Hollywood Are Ruining Women*
Famed Feminist Says Hollyweird Is Ruining Women
from hollywoodreporter.com: It’s staggering that 22-year-old Taylor Swift earned $57 million and Katy Perry $45 million. How is it possible that such monumental fortunes could be accumulated by performers whose songs have barely escaped the hackneyed teenybopper genre? But more important, what do the rise and triumph of Swift and Perry tell us about the current image of women in entertainment?

Despite the passage of time since second-wave feminism erupted in the late 1960s, we’ve somehow been thrown back to the demure girly-girl days of the white-bread 1950s. It feels positively nightmarish to survivors like me of that rigidly conformist and man-pleasing era, when girls had to be simple, peppy, cheerful and modest. Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds and Sandra Dee formed the national template -- that trinity of blond oppressors!

As if flashed forward by some terrifying time machine, there’s Taylor Swift, America’s latest sweetheart, beaming beatifically in all her winsome 1950s glory from the cover of Parade magazine in the Thanksgiving weekend newspapers. In TV interviews, Swift affects a “golly, gee whiz” persona of cultivated blandness and self-deprecation, which is completely at odds with her shrewd glam dress sense. Indeed, without her mannequin posturing at industry events, it’s doubtful that Swift could have attained her high profile.

Pop Music Became More Moody in Past 50 Years

Pop Music Study Shows Shift Toward Minor Key Melodies Since 1960*
Pop Music Became More Moody in Past 50 Years
from scientificamerican.com: We blast the upbeat tunes for parties and workouts at the gym, and we save the low-key ballads for romantic or pensive moments. It’s hardly a new idea that music is intertwined with our emotions. But how have our favorites changed over the decades, and what do these changes say about America’s shifting emotional landscape?

Music is a form of naturalistic data that, much like popular television, literature, and sales of consumer goods, scientists can sample for insight into our minds and values. Researchers E. Glenn Schellenberg and Christian von Scheve set out to examine songs popular in America during the last five decades, using a selection culled from Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 charts. Schellenberg and von Scheve wanted to learn how emotional cues in music, such as tempo (slow to fast) and mode (major or minor key), have changed since 1960.

Obamessiah Gets Four More Years of Fronting for the Empire

Obama Wins New Term as Electoral Advantage Holds*
Obamessiah Gets Four More Years of Fronting for the Empire
from nytimes.com: Barack Hussein Obama was re-elected president of the United States on Tuesday, overcoming powerful economic headwinds, a lock-step resistance to his agenda by Republicans in Congress and an unprecedented torrent of advertising as a divided nation voted to give him more time. In defeating Mitt Romney, the president carried Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin, a near sweep of the battleground states, and was holding a narrow advantage in Florida. The path to victory for Mr. Romney narrowed as the night wore along, with Mr. Obama winning at least 303 electoral votes.

Another Major Storm May Hit Northeast on Election Day

Will Election Day be a 'perfect storm?':
Four nightmare scenarios for what could go wrong

Another Major Storm May Hit Northeast on Election Day
from salon.com: Just what New York and New Jersey need after the devastation of Superstorm Sandy: more high winds. The National Weather Service predicted Sunday that a Nor’easter that could include gusts of up to 55 mph is likely to reach the area by Wednesday and could compound the havoc brought by last week’s violent weather. “Prepare for more outages,” advised weather service meteorologist Joe Pollina. “Stay indoors.

Corbett Report: Episode249 - How to Manufacture (or Suppress) Outrage

Listen to @CorbettReport Radio on @RBNlive Weeknights at 7 Eastern Time
Corbett Report: Episode249 - How to Manufacture (or Suppress) Outragefrom corbett report: Sandra Fluke. Justice for Trayvon. Kony 2012. The 24/7 news cycle is dominated by incessant coverage of topics of little significance. Reported in a completely decontextualized manner, the public flits from story of the week to story of the week so that nothing is left in their wake but catchphrases and fleeting pop culture references. This is a method of control, and it can be used both to concentrate the public on boogeymen and distract us from the real dangers. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we examine how the would-be social engineers manufacture (and suppress) outrage.
