Art Punk
Art punk is a subgenre of punk rock in which artists go beyond the genre's rudimentary garage rock and are considered more sophisticated than their peers. These groups still generated punk's aesthetic of being simple, offensive, and free-spirited, but essentially attracted audiences other than the angry, working-class ones that surrounded pub rock. History In the rock music of the 1970s, the "art" descriptor was generally understood to mean either "aggressively avant-garde" or "pretentiously progressive". Musicologists Simon Frith and Howard Horne described the band managers of the 1970s punk bands as "the most articulate theorists of the art punk movement", with Bob Last of Fast Product identified as one of the first to apply art theory to marketing, and Tony Wilson's Factory Records described as "applying the Bauhaus principle of the same 'look' for all the company's goods".Frith, Simon & Horne, Howard (1987) ''Art into Pop'', Methuen, , p. 129-130 Wire's Colin Newman describ ...

Matador Records
Matador Records is an independent record label, with a roster of mainly indie rock, but also punk rock, experimental rock, alternative rock, and electronic acts. History Matador was created in 1989 by Chris Lombardi in his New York City apartment. Lombardi had brought the Austrian duo H.P. Zinker into Wharton Tiers’ Fun City studio to record Matador's first release, "...and there was light".

Hologram Jams
''Hologram Jams'' is the second full-length studio album by Jaguar Love. It is the first release not to feature former drummer J. Clark. In May 2010, Jaguar Love and the website Tracks and Fields ran a remix competition for producers to remix the song "Polaroids and Red Wine," with the winner having their remix included on the single release. Critical reception ''Hologram Jams'' was poorly-received by professional journalists, with most of the criticisms pointed at the group's stylistic changes towards what some journalists found to be a cheap electronic sound, an overly-sugary pop flavor, and a "target marketed" attempt to try to appeal to teenagers with its lyrics. ''The Line of Best Fit'' went as so far to compare ''Hologram Jams'' to 3OH!3, while reviewers from ''Pitchfork'', ''Spectrum Culture'', and '' The Skinny'' reported feeling exhausted from the album's overwhelming amount of noise and upbeat energy. Whitney's vocal performance on ''Hologram Jams'' garnered a mixed r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
