Labor folklorist Archie Green 91 dies
San Jose Mercury News
Green who was 91 when he died of renal and heart failure March 22 at his San Francisco home was a pioneering folklorist who studied the language music art and customs of working men and women. It was a unique pursuit that required a name which he coined: He called it “laborlore. ” In his hands laborlore meant scholarly explorations of hillbilly music the etymology of the shipyard term “Dutchman”and the origins of the metal figures tinsmiths fashioned for their shop signs. He so strongly believed that these were important cultural expressions — as worthy of preservation as a symphony by Hector Berlioz or a landscape by Winslow Homer — that he spent seven years lobbying Congress to create the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Established in 1976 it houses more than 4000 collections documenting the lives of ordinary Americans. “Archie said ‘Working men aren’t dummies. ‘ I heard him say that many times” recalled Robert Cantwell a University of North Carolina folklorist who knew Green for 40 years.
Heavy ‘Metal’
Wall Street Journal
That’s what having a single multi-purpose device is about. We can integrate games with other features or applications. For example maybe the content of the game would change depending on the music you’re listening to. Is it still true that you won’t make any more Metal Gear Solid games?Yes but that just means that I personally won’t design another Metal Gear Solid game because that leaves me with no time to make other games. I still plan to produce Metal Gear Solid games but will leave the creation to the younger members of our team. I don’t own the Metal Gear Solid series and I think games should be made for it as long as there are fans who want it kind of like James Bond movies. What kind of game do you want to make? I want to make games for gamers who like games so much they’re willing to sacrifice other things to play.

SUNDS: Adrenaline Rush
Las Vegas Review – Journal
There are still some virulently misogynistic strains of the genre although they tend to exist in the deep deep underground. And the scene’s all-time top-selling act Cannibal Corpse gained notoriety early on in their career with songs that revelled in violence toward women though they no longer explore those themes in their tunes. But when it comes to a band like Suicide Silence whose lyrics tend to revolve around matters of religion betrayal and revenge they’re more about a kind of confessional open-ended aggression that’s largely attributable to Lucker’s roots in nü metal music which largely revolves around personal feelings of rage and alienation rather than more fantastical tales of gore and bloodshed. Lucker’s dad who played guitar and gave impromptu lessons to kids in the neighborhood first got him into heavy music when he was still in grade school by buying him Korn Deftones and Sepultura cassettes. Soon Lucker was jamming with his brother’s band in the family garage singing Hatebreed tunes through a small 12-inch guitar amp and a cheap Radio Shack mic. Nowadays Lucker’s ascended to a different realm entirely. He just completed his band’s much-anticipated sophomore record and is going to hit the road with heavyweights such as Disturbed and Slayer on separate tours later in the year.
