Beat generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The adjective "beat" (introduced to the group by Herbert Huncke) had the connotations of "tired" or "down and out", but Kerouac added the paradoxical connotations of "upbeat", "beatific", and the musical association of being "on the beat". The original members or the Beat Generation group — in Allen Ginsberg's phrase, "the libertine circle" — used a number of different drugs. The Beats in general were a large influence on members of the new "counterculture", for example, in the case of Bob Dylan who became a close friend of Allen Ginsberg. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Beat_generation   (4513 words)

LitKicks: The Beat Generation by Levi Asher (brooklyn) Sep 20, 2001 10:36 AM Like the French Impressionist artists of Paris, the Beat writers were a small group of close friends first, and a movement later. The term "Beat Generation" gradually came to represent an entire period in time, but the entire original Beat Generation in literature was small enough to have fit into a couple of cars (at times this nearly happened). The "latter day beats" added some much needed cultural diversity, as well as an infusion of new ideas and talent, to the core of white male friends that were the "classic beats". www.litkicks.com /BeatPages/page.jsp?what=BeatGen   (868 words)

MTV.com - Bronski Beat The new version of Bronski Beat was quite successful as well, notching club hits in the U.K. and abroad; Truthdare Doubledare, the 1986 sophomore album, went Top 20 in the group's home country, and "Hit That Perfect Beat" rivaled "Smalltown Boy" in high chart placements. It was only Bronski Beat's first single, but it became the group's best-known, reaching the top of Billboard's U.S. dance chart while peaking at number three on the U.K. pop chart. Steve Bronski brought a new lineup together in the mid-'90s -- including vocalist Jonathan Hellyner -- and recorded Rainbow Nation for the German ZYX label. www.mtv.com /bands/az/bronski_beat/bio.jhtml   (382 words)

Afro Beat - Recommended Records (Slipcue Music e-zine African Music Guide) A widely-sampled funk band from the disco era, this group was also known as Ice, and though centered in Paris during the African pop boom of the 1970s, they actually hailed from the U.S. Nonetheless, their Kool And The Gang-meets-LA Express instrumental jams are often thought of in terms of the Afro-Beat that influenced them. The "Afro-Beat" sound -- African dance music fused with rock and modern funk -- was pioneered by Nigerian superstar, Fela Kuti, but it soon spread throughout the African continent, with dozens of bands taking up the new style. The best thing about Antibalas is that they are an actual, functioning musical group, not just some haloed band from the hazy past of African popular music. www.slipcue.com /music/international/africa/aa_styles/afrobeat_01.html   (1940 words)

Style Weekly in Richmond, Virginia Free-form world-beat jazz group Hotel X has aged well. This early in the evening, the room is more than half empty and the big beat a bit repetitive, but the group’s joy in unified creativity is completely disarming. Hotel X’s central inspiration is African music, a virtually bottomless well of polyrhythmic sophistication and folk universality. www.styleweekly.com /article.asp?idarticle=10784   (1940 words)

Lyn Paul website: on the net (Male / Female Vocal Harmony Groups) Roy Wood's group The Move was particularly influential as were the more melodic beat groups from earlier in the '60s such as Herman's Hermits, the Hollies and the Searchers. The group blended Caribbean harmonies, catchy tunes and a disco beat to create a hit-making formula that reached its peak in 1978 with the million-selling singles Rivers Of Babylon and Mary's Boy Child. The group's debut single, Song For Whoever, made it to number 2 in the UK singles chart in 1989. www.lynpaulwebsite.org /OnMusic01.htm   (4786 words)

Blondie MP3 Downloads - Blondie Music Downloads - Blondie Music Videos Just as Blondie's second album, Plastic Letters, was a pale imitation of their self-titled debut, Eat to the Beat, their fourth album, was a secondhand version of their breakthrough third album, Parallel Lines: one step forward, half a step back. There was an attempt, on such songs as "The Hardest Part" and "Atomic," to recreate the rock/disco fusion of the group's one major U.S. hit, "Heart of Glass," without similar success, and, elsewhere, the band just tried to cover too many stylistic bases.

VH1.com : Lo Fidelity Allstars : Biography The group's first three singles for Skint were "Kool Roc Bass," "Disco Machine Gun" and "Vision Incision," all of which appeared during 1997 (just at the peak of big-beat frenzy in England thanks to recent releases by Fatboy Slim and Bentley Rhythm Ace). The group was originally formed in mid-1996 by a turntable wizard known as the Albino Priest, a Leeds native who worked at the Tower Records in London's Piccadilly Circus, and vocalist Wrekked Train. The mix album On the Floor at the Boutique followed in 2000, and Lo Fidelity Allstars delivered their second studio record, Don't Be Afraid of Love, in early 2002. www.vh1.com /artists/az/lo_fidelity_allstars/bio.jhtml   (367 words)

The Litter - Facts Although the record was charting in Billboard and the group was touring the U.S. with acts like "The Who", unavailability of their albums due to distribution problems, plagued the group everywhere they appeared.

Beat Culture: A Later Manifestation of Bohemia However, the beat writers also completely changed the face of American poetry and prose, ushering in a new kind of writing and way of seeing the world, so that later they were seen as an important part of American literary history. Like most bohemian residences, the Beat Hotel was the cheapest, lowest-quality place to reside, with "no carpets, hole-in-the-floor toilets, last week's Figaro for toilet paper, [and] a smell of bad feet in the corridors" (Campbell 221). The beat writers went against the ideals of the mainstream culture, both in their lifestyles and literature. www.mtholyoke.edu /courses/rschwart/hist255-s01/boheme/beat.html   (343 words)

Beat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Beat is an album by the 1980s incarnation of progressive rock group King Crimson. Beat is also then the meter, rhythm, riddim, or groove of a piece and may indicate solely the bass and snare drum rhythm parts. In physics and sound, a beat is the oscillation between zero intensity and full intensity that occurs when two frequencies (which are not harmonically related) are added together, caused by alternating constructive and destructive interference of the pressure waves. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Beat   (406 words)

Beat Poetry This quest, one of a search for beauty and truth, that allied itself with mysticism, while explored on many different levels by each individual poet, symbolizes the fellowship and camaraderie of a group of individuals who spawned what is known as the beat generation.

Rising like phoenixes from the ashes of World War II, these writers hit the literary scene with a vengeance, writing of a desparate quest to bring meaning and place out of a chaotic world. www.liglobal.com /beat   (406 words)

Beat Happening An alumnus of the short-lived Cool Rays, Calvin teamed with Heather and assorted friends in the first incarnation of Beat Happening, playing shows whenever and wherever they could as long as the performances were held at all-ages venues; his canyon-deep baritone quickly became as much a group trademark as their sardonic, even juvenile songs. Beat Happening was among the truly seminal and influential American bands of the post-punk era, a paragon of pop minimalism, rebellious innocence, and indie defiance. Beat Happening formed in the early 1980s; Calvin, a longtime fixture of the Olympia scene who also helped establish the original Sub Pop fanzine (the basis for the subsequent label), had already founded K, originally a cassette-only project started to release music no other company would touch. www.findthefun.com /bands/b01/b0010547.htm   (336 words)

Rock (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rock and roll was seen as commercial pop, but subverted the race barriers in the U.S., and with the British invasion the reverence of groups for black Rhythm and blues stars brought these stars a wider public. Rock 'n' Roll' was fading into lightweight pop and schmaltzy ballads, but at clubs and local dances British rock groups were starting to play with an intensity and drive seldom found in white American acts, heavily influenced by Blues-rock pioneers like Alexis Korner. Rock is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars, and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rock_music   (6009 words)

Poetry Previews: Beats The term Beats has been said by scholars and members of the Beatnik group to refer to the word beatific, which suggests happiness and bliss, as well as the word beaten, which suggests beaten down and broken. Straddling these alternate meanings, the Beats embraced the ideals of Walt Whitman, who in the 1800s shaped a style of romantic and celebratory poetry truly unlike anything before, and the jazz movement, which was being recognized for its impromptu bravado and originality.
