Southern Music/American Music

Southern Music/American Music is the first book to investigate the facets of American music from the South and the many popular forms that emerged from it. In this substantially revised and updated edition, Bill C. Malone and David Stricklin bring this classic work into the twenty-first century, including new material on recent phenomena such as the huge success of the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the renewed popularity of Southern music, as well as important new artists Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, and the Dixie Chicks, among others. Extensive bibliographic notes and a new suggested listening guide complete this essential study.

Dirty South: OutKast, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, and the Southern Rappers Who Reinvented Hip-Hop

Rap music from New York and Los Angeles once ruled the charts, but nowadays the southern sound thoroughly dominates the radio, Billboard, and MTV. Coastal artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Ice-T call southern rap “garbage,” but they’re probably just jealous, as artists like Lil Wayne and T.I. still move millions of copies, and OutKast has the bestselling rap album of all time.In Dirty South, author Ben Westhoff investigates the southern rap phenomenon, watching rappers “make it rain” in a Houston strip club and partying with the 2 Live Crew’s Luke Campbell. Westhoff visits the gritty neighborhoods where T.I. and Lil Wayne grew up, kicks it with Big Boi in Atlanta, and speaks with artists like DJ Smurf and Ms. Peachez, dance-cr

Elvis and Gladys (Southern Icons)

City of Industry: Genealogies of Power in Southern California

City of Industry: Genealogies of Power in Southern California

City of Industry is a stunning exposé on the construction of corporate capitalist spaces. Investigating Industry’s archives, including sealed FBI reports, Valle uncovered a series of scandals from the city’s founder James M. Stafford to present day corporate heir Edward Roski Jr., the nation’s biggest industrial developer. While exposing the corruption and corporate greed spawned from the growth of new technology and engineering, Valle reveals the plight of the property-owning servants, especially Latino working-class communities, who have fallen victim to the effects of this tale of corporate greed.

8/18/2011 — San Diego = strange fume event occuring in southern California

Cross posted from my blog.. download the video directly there, and see the links etc.. : www.dutchsinse.com First a fresh lava field erupts off the coast of Oregon, then mystery plumes erupt from lava fields all the way up the west coast from Pisgah area north to the washington state line… a 6.0 magnitude quake hits Baja California, then a hill side in Santa Barbara (just north of Los Angeles) begins to smoke and steam… now.. due south in San Diego, we hear about the ENTIRE county/city having hundreds of people calling 911 to report the smell of “burning petroleum” . Since the hill side to the north of Los Angeles was reported to be “burning tar” from deep underground.. this leads me to believe we are seeing a very large seismic event take place on the west coast (when you factor in the above events of the past couple months). folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu quake.crowe.co.nz aslwww.cr.usgs.gov www.oe-files.de www.fs.fed.us pasadena.wr.usgs.gov earthquake.usgs.gov aslwww.cr.usgs.gov www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk earthquake.usgs.gov aslwww.cr.usgs.gov download.cnet.com www.volcano.si.edu hawaii.wr.usgs.gov cnt.rm.ingv.it www.emsc-csem.org www.emsc-csem.org www.emsc-csem.org earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca www.goandroam.com earthquake.usgs.gov earthquake.usgs.gov www.showme.net www.nps.gov www.pnsn.org …
