	CBC Arts: Small B.C. communities, children focus of National Arts Centre Orchestra tour
		TORONTO - The National Arts Centre Orchestra is hitting the road for major concerts in British Columbia next month, staging concerts and breaking into smaller ensembles to blitz smaller B.C. schools and communities with the sounds of Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
		One of the tour's major educational initiatives is to put a recorder into the hands of as many school children as possible, often cited as a dream of Pinchas Zukerman, the orchestra's musical director and an accomplished violinist who began his celebrated musical career on the modest wind instrument.
		Pinchas Zukerman, musical director of the National Arts Centre Orchestra, directs a student at a master class in 2003.

	Guardian Lionel Bart's Oliver!, June 1960
		Bart spent some of the proceeds on a nose job and got on with writing his next musical, a take on more recent British history called Blitz!.
		For Hope-Wallace, the whole musical was imbued with "the atmosphere of the London Christmas matinee", and, while he allowed it "a certain gutter-sparrow charm", he felt overall that it was "a starveling musical from the workhouse".
		They not only buttonhole you; they practically slug you." The Daily Mail's critic thought the music had "the vivacity of a cockney Offenbach, the grace and simplicity of early Rodgers".

	Pitchfork: Daily Music News
		The Blitz is a grassroots tour encompassing a wide variety of musical styles; not just punk but pop, metal, and even classic rock as well.
		Aside from lending a rabidly tenacious musical voice to the homosexual community, Queercore groups sport some of the best monikers in all of rock, with Pansy Division, Limp Wrist, and God Is My Co-Pilot among them.

	Lionel Bart
		Bart's later musicals, including ''Blitz!'' (1962) and ''Twang!'' (1965), never lived up to his early promise.
		Lionel Bart (1930-1999) was a British composer of musicals, best known for ''Oliver!''
		He first made his name (which he changed to Bart after St Bartholomew's Hospital) with the 1959 musical, ''Lock up your Daughters'', based on an 18th century play by Henry Fielding.

		Bart was recognized for 'Outstanding Personal Services to British Popular Music'.
		After art school and RAF service he formed pop group the Cavemen '56 with Mike Pratt and Tommy Steele, providing Steele with his first chart entry 'Rock With The Cavemen': Bart and Steele turned to the musical stage.

		The scary musical growl of the opening track ("The Blitz, 1940") is good, underscoring WWII's darkest manifestations.
		Young children will enjoy reliving the movie through the The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe soundtrack (Disney Records), however, those of us at Edmund's age and older may not be so enchanted (and might even throw a fit) over much of the bland and somewhat misplaced musical elements.
		The handful of obligatory pop songs tacked onto the end of the movie and album interpret various Narnia perspectives on their own terms, succeeding in the ears that behold them.

	Immolation
		The new songs, though very complex and intricate, were quite memorable and found the band expanding their musical abilities, forging uneasy time signatures and untypical structures into a controlled musical blitz.
		Although the band toured and even reached new areas untouched by this style of music at the time, they found themselves amidst an explosion of a scene saturated with hundreds of clones and countless albums of poor music, causing new interest in death metal to subside.
		The band now not only proved that death/black metal was able to survive the long haul, but that it can also be fresh and multi dimensional as well.

	Memorable Dance Scenes in Movies (Mondo Thingo: Mondo Movies, episode 33)
		Of course, the movie musical is the natural home of the dance number, but even Fred Astaire would have to admit that like a present or a kiss, the best dance is often the one you don't see coming.
		The infamous 'ear scene' was originally set to the Sweet's 'Ballroom Blitz'.
		Of course, there's no surprise if it's a musical, but some of the most memorable dance sequences have happened in dramas, comedies, even action flicks.

	IGN: Underworld: Music From The Motion Picture Review
		Perhaps it's the dark nature of the music that attracts filmmakers working within the genre field, but films like The Crow and its subsequent sequels and Queen of the Damned, from a musical standpoint at least, seem to thrive at the intersection of supernatural superiority and nu metal-cum-industrio blitz.
		The stripped down musical backdrop of nothing more than foot stomp rhythms, piano, and violin create a suitably gothic tension.
		In fact Lohner is all over the album, either as a performer (the aforementioned Damning Well and Puscifer, as well as Renholder), producer, and remixer.

	eye - Austrian powers - 07.05.01
		With Kruder and Dorfmeister's collaborative musical output limited to the aforementioned EP and a handful of contributions to various compilations, the question of a debut KandD album has hung heavily for years.
		They were not granting interviews for their two current Canadian dates, preferring to leave the media blitz for when they next have a release, but I have conversed at length with each on separate occasions, finding both men sweet and open.
		Best of all, herrs Kruder and Dorfmeister have developed a distinct musical language and nurtured a similarly minded community of artists while remaining independent, releasing music through their own G-Stone label and via Germany's Studio K7!

		With the musical language and themes established, Fernanda was to develop them even further in her next two albums: Raio X and Entidade Urbana, always including new Brazilian musical languages and updating her discourses.
		During the three years between Blitz's break-up and her first solo album, Fernanda built up a new career, with a new vision of music and a new repertoire.
		The alchemist of this blend is Fernanda Abreu, the tireless translator of the sounds and styles of the city she loves so much.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Lars Frederiksen And The Basta
		Obviously, being in Rancid, Lars' song-writing ability is going to resemble their style big time, but he adds enough personal touches, and takes enough inspiration from his musical influences growing up, that this album is, dare I say it, better than Rancid at times.
		Traces of Blitz, Skrewdriver, The Business, Motorhead, and even Bruce Springstein (Lars admitted the idea of an album based on his life was very similar to what "the Boss" did with his own life in the 70s).
		Singer/guitarist Lars Frederiksen sat down with his Rancid bandmate Tim Armstrong and wrote a batch of songs mostly about his youthful experiences in his hometown Campbell, CA.

	Blitz Kids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the demise of the Blitz and Taboo, a new night called Kinky Gerlinky started in Central London in the late 1980s, retaining much of the same style and attitude, and became a very popular Drag_(clothing) and Transvestite haunt, with a door policy that meant only the more outrageous would often be allowed in.
		Boy George celebrated the Blitz Kids scene in his recent musical Taboo, in which he played the part of Leigh Bowery.
		The Blitz Kids were a group of famous people that frequented the Blitz nightclub in the early 1980s.

		Buxton's gravestone features an adaptation of the album artwork for Cooper's School's Out album, as well as a musical transcription of his world famous guitar riff for the album's aforementioned title track.

	Final Fantasy VII Review for PlayStation at GameSpot
		However, Final Fantasy VII, for all its astonishing features, is not a game with the sort of mass appeal that its massive marketing blitz may lead you to believe.
		If you were to strip away the story, scenery, and musical score, Final Fantasy VII would otherwise be very much like any other Japanese RPG you've ever played.
		Final Fantasy VII's moving plot is influenced by some of the greatest works of science fiction film and literature, including Frank Herbert's Dune, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and even Godzilla.

		Crass was born in late 1976 nearby Essex, England as he brittlest and most hard-line radical of the first wave of British punk bands, Crass issued a blitz of records that were ruthless in both their unrelenting sociopolitical screeds and their amelodic crash of noise.
		posed to Crass' very broad social concerns, and their musical inflexibility guaranteed that the band would be preaching to the converted almost exclusively.
		Crass always intended to disband in 1984, and true to their ideals as always, they did exactly that when that year came around.

	Queer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the summers of 2002 and 2006, a festival was held in Olympia, Washington called Homo-a-go-go, which featured queer films, zines, performance and musical groups during the week-long event; another one is planned for 2006.
		A group of queercore bands toured throughout the U.S.; the tour was called Queercore Blitz and was yet another way to connect the like-minded.
		This is the meaning of 'queer' most closely associated with the academic field known as queer theory, a field that looks to margins of the sexual spectrum to explore and deconstruct societal understandings of fixed sexual identities, and of identities and categories in general.

		CLEVELAND'S DEAD BOYS broke up in 1979 following two albums still revered by punk rockers, and singer Stiv Bators went on to reinvent himself as a media celebrity in a series of musical projects.
		On Saturday, Chrome, guitarist Jimmy Zero, bassist Jeff Magnum and drummer Johnny Blitz will participate in a question-and-answer session at the Rock Hall in the afternoon and play together later that night at the Beachland, for the first time in more than 14 years, in a tribute to Bators.

		But after the Dead Boys, Bators embarked on a musical journey that saw him touch upon new wave (the Wanderers), goth rock (the Lords of the New Church), and power pop (during a brief solo career), as well as a fling with movie acting.
		Sensing that there was little chance of launching a successful music career in Ohio, Bators convinced a handful of fellow local musicians (Chrome, guitarist Jimmy Zero, and drummer Johnny Blitz) to relocate to New York City in 1976, resulting in the formation of the Dead Boys.
		With punk fans still scratching their heads as to the career path Bators had embarked on since his Dead Boys days, the singer decided to give acting at try, with a bit part in the hilarious 1981 John Waters-directed movie, Polyester.
