Tune in weekdays at 6PM to hear a song hand picked by our local music guru, dXn, then listen each Sunday night at 10PM for a full two hours of local music on Locals Only.
The show has helped give early exposure and a career boost to Southern California-based artists such as indie rock group Young the Giant, rock band Cold War Kids, ska-punk quartet The Interrupters, rising punk rock group The Regrettes and even the now insanely popular and seemingly untouchable Billie Eilish. Though it is a local, specialized radio program, not just anyone that submits a song will be played. Corbett has a strict vetting process to ensure that only the best of the best make it through and going with her gut has proved to be validating based on the success of the artists that have appeared on the program.
This five-piece alt-rock band from Buffalo, NY are a very smooth sounding band with groovy drums that make you want to get on your feet and dance. The vocals are very enticing and distinct. The dynamic guitar and bass keep each song fresh and interesting to listen to.
In fusing jazz, rock, and emo this California band is sure to make your ears happy. Every single song is a full energy piece that WILL get you up and moving. I guarantee you will be appreciative for all the kids who did band in high school after you hear the trumpets and trombone in their music. I mean WOW.
Simmering close to the surface and often times influencing more popular musical happenings however, are scenes such as the Long Beach music movement of the late 80s and early 90s, while perhaps known within the local legend sphere are still alien to a larger public. It's these small movements however that speak to more than just a local story, but instead illustrate their part in a growing global village of internet and changing technologies. Physical musical community is not only what's at stake in today's audio climate. As the description for the April 19th panel at USC, "Revisiting Long Beach Music Scene," points out:
Music is more than just background noise, it's a memory in a moment, one that can be brought back in a glorious bright instance: A sunset on the Long Beach pier, a cold walk home the sunrise on your back, the sound of mariachis rising to the early songs of morning, the hills of East L.A., smoggy in the distance.
Critical Karaoke 3.0: 4:00pm-6:00pm
Critical Karoake is the brain child of Joshua Clover who introduced the idea at a past EMP conference: each speaker gets to talk about a song, for the length of the song, as the song plays behind them. The approach can be as personal or experimental as the speaker wants. Consider it a jukebox of eclectic tastes, knowledge and styles.
Although pop-punk is their main genre, Pine Creek Academy prides themselves on putting their own spin on each song. The band uses distinct synths and other sounds to give each track its own "PCA brand." Some songs are more on the pop side, while others lean more towards rock.
"This song expresses how karma always finds its way around. It focuses on the saying what you give is what you get. No matter how much you run from it, eventually we all get what we deserve. Whether that be good or bad, karma will always find its way to you," explained Gensure of the new single.
"The thing I like most about performing live is seeing people dance around to something we've created," said Gensure. "I love it when people come to us and talk about how this song affected them personally. The fact of knowing you can change someone's life with a simple song is mind blowing."
Based on the tight-binding model and dual-probe scanning tunneling microscopy technology, we theoretically investigate the electronic structure and local property in the passivated AA-stacked bilayer armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons (AABLAGNRs). We show that they are highly sensitive to the size of the ribbons, which is evidently different from the single-layer armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons. The '3p' rule only applies to the narrow AABLGNRs. Namely, in the passivated 3p- and (3p + 1)-AABLGNRs, the narrow ribbons are semiconducting while the medium and wide ribbons are metallic. Although the passivated (3p + 2)-AABLGNRs are metallic, the '3j' rule only applies to the narrow and medium ribbons. Namely, electrons are in the semiconducting states at sites of line 3j while they are in the metallic states at other sites. This induces a series of parallel and discrete metallic channels, consisting of lines 3j - 1 and 3j - 2, for the low-energy electronic transports. In the passivated wide (3p + 2)-AABLGNRs, all electrons are in the metallic states. Additionally, the '3p' and '3j' rules are controllable to disappear and reappear by applying an external perpendicular electric field. Resultantly, an electric filed-driven current switch can be realized in the passivated narrow and medium (3p + 2)-AABLGNRs.
The song is also being embraced by political figures, such as U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Fla., Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and former attorney general of Virginia Ken Cuccinelli. The song is also receiving an audience with national right-wing social media figures, including John Rich, Joe Rogan and Matt Walsh.
GRANT BLANKENSHIP, BYLINE: There's always chainsaws once a storm like Idalia moves out. But once the city of Valdosta clears the roads, it gets quiet. That's because local governments are only responsible for public property. What's in your yard - or, in the case of Valdosta resident James LaPlant, what's stuck in your roof - is your problem. But LaPlant says he's had no shortage of people willing to help him out for a price.
BLANKENSHIP: LaPlant is waiting on a local business he's used before, but Idalia just left too much timber on the ground in South Georgia for locals only. It's a literal windfall for tree service companies from around the region. Doug Shramplin traveled up from Florida to look for tree removal work. He's cruising, going door to door. He has a pitch.
In addition to studying language and history through the lens of a regional collection of tales, students developed a working knowledge of the richly collaborative process through which musical theater is created, as well as a firsthand understanding of the role that directors, performers, and others play in interpreting work and giving feedback to the creative development process. By working closely with professionals, the students gained experience and insights into the craft of musical theater writing, learning basic principles of the form, as well as how to shape songs and musicalized scenes for maximum storytelling clarity and effectiveness.
While promising, making good choices for each of the algorithmic steps remains difficult. Machine learning approaches have been used to dynamically decide which approach to take for generating samples and connecting them together. These approaches generally learn globally and can perform well in homogeneous spaces or partitioned spaces where each partition is homogeneous [12]. Preliminary work applied connection learning to protein folding simulations [13], but with no way to ensure a good partitioning of the landscape, the results were only comparable to methods with no learning involved.
We use the performance history of only those connection attempts within this neighborhood to bias learning. Thus, our method adapts both spatially and temporarily, and no prior knowledge about the connection method involved is needed. This approach has been introduced for robotic motion planning [14], and here we adapt it to simulate the folding process.
ANC-local performs better than the other connection methods across the entire protein set in terms of quality and second best in terms of time. lRMSD, as expected, is the slowest. While ANC-local is not the fastest overall (Euclidean is), it does produce the best quality. ANC-local is the only method that is able to adapt locally to varying energy landscapes and thus yields higher quality roadmaps. ANC-global is the second best in terms of quality but third in terms of time. ANC-local outperforms ANC-global.
The daughter of a Baptist preacher, Patrinell Staten had music deep in her soul. She relocated to Seattle from Texas in 1964, worked as a bank teller, and married Benny Wright (b. 1943) in 1965. After she was "discovered" by a music-loving Louisiana transplant named LaVera Clark while singing in church one day, the two began composing songs together and making test recordings in Clark's home studio (2407 E Boston Avenue). Then Clark paired her with a Central Area-based African American group called the Blenders, composed of Charles Gaither, James Beaver, James Hardin, and Tommy Dew. Wright recorded and performed under her birth name, Patrinell Staten.
Rehearsals were held on Monday nights at a nearby Jewish school, and before long the group reemerged as Patrinell and the Casanovas, a moniker derived from a Yesler Way building, the Casanova Apartments. Clark encouraged them to write some original songs and even handed over a lyric-sheet to something called "I Let a Good Man Go," for which Wright composed music. The two women co-wrote another tune called "Little Love Affair."
Before long, Clark set up a new organization -- the Sepia Foundation -- with a goal, The Seattle Daily Times reported, to seek "out talent in the Puget Sound area and help these fledgling entertainers on their road to success" (Gressel, "New Local ... "). That road began with a drive up to Vancouver, B.C., where the group entered a small studio and cut two songs for a single release by Clark's new Sepia Records company.
The record -- "I Let a Good Man Go"/"Little Love Affair" (Sepia Records No. 8201) -- was pressed, but only in a quantity of 250 copies. The band began a two-week gig at Seattle's The Club Elegant (12th Avenue and Pine Street) and played other gigs into 1973, including a brief tour to Portland, Oregon. While most copies were sold out of a car trunk at gigs, one of the discs was rushed over to Seattle's black-oriented radio station, KYAC, which actively aired R&B, jazz, and gospel music from 1964 to 1981. In September 1969 KYAC picked up on the Casanovas "I Let a Good Man Go," and it began climbing the station's "Live 55" airplay charts -- edging past other gems, including hot new singles by Motown Records' the Supremes and the Temptations, and Stax Records' Booker T and the MGs. Clark was a true believer who told the band -- and The Seattle Daily Times -- that she had personal connections with Motown and would be sending them the record with high hopes. "Oh yes," the singer recently exclaimed: "She had us all hyped up [laughter]! Of course, she meant every word of it -- LaVera, I can't say anything bad about her at all" (Blecha interview).
