Learn more about Cult in the online encyclopedia.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) The term cult has a technical meaning in the sociology of religions, referring to a religious group with novel beliefs and with a high degree of tension with the surrounding society. In their defense, groups labeled as cults often see themselves as persecuted by the anti-cult movement, which (they claim) consists of a number of groups working together to suppress their religious beliefs. The definition of the word "cult" applies to all religions; the usage of the word (since the 1960s) applies to a sub-set of religions and groups - those that engage in abusive or criminal behavior, and/or deny their members civil and human rights. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /c/cu/cult.html   (1593 words)

Cult: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com Unlike legitimate religious movements, cults are characterized by high levels of dependency, exploitation, and compliance with demands of leadership that are unrelated to religion. Cults are groups that often exploit members psychologically and/or financially, typically by making members comply with leadership’s demands through certain types of psychological manipulation, popularly called mind control, and through the inculcation of deep-seated anxious dependency on the group and its leaders [1] Cult: A group or movement exhibiting a great or excessive devotion or dedication to some person, idea, or thing and employing unethically manipulative techniques of persuasion and control. www.encyclopedian.com /cu/Cult.html   (1357 words)

The Cult | Biography | MTV Death Cult released an eponymous EP in the summer of 1983; on the EP, Astbury reverted back to his given name. Where both Southern Death Cult and Death Cult had been overtly influenced by post-punk, the Cult was a heavy hard rock band with slight psychedelic flourishes. For their third album, the Cult shuffled its lineup -- Stewart moved to rhythm guitar, while former Zodiac Mindwarp bassist Kid Chaos joined the lineup -- and hired Rick Rubin as producer and the result, Electric, was their hardest, heaviest record to date. www.mtv.com /music/artist/cult_the/bio.jhtml   (928 words)

Cult radio - TV & Radio - Entertainment - theage.com.au AT ONE of my first ever meetings as a commercial radio employee I was asked how I would deal with the fact that by agreeing to do breakfast radio on Today FM in Sydney (sister station of Melbourne's Fox), I was replacing Wendy Harmer, who had been very successful for many years. They have a genuine love of radio but this love is exploited rather than nurtured, because, of course, if you're not willing to work ridiculous hours and live wherever they want you to, they'll find someone who will, and they might even genuinely like Nickelback. Another problem is that the more successful employees, upon retiring from radio, go on to become consultants, who the network then hires to advise them, which could explain why a lot of their ideas are about as fresh as the underwear Men at Work wore in 1987. www.theage.com.au /news/tv--radio/cult-radio/2006/04/04/1143916529492.html   (1412 words)

Cult versus mainstream - TV & Radio - Entertainment - theage.com.au When you convert a cult hit to a ratings success, the very changes that generate a broader audience seem to inevitably sap the idea of its vitality. But what the cult hits do is prepare the ground for the mainstream stuff. But we need the cult shows too, the shows that people don't get, that confuse them or repulse them, the shows that don't rate, that attract an intense audience rather than a broad one. www.theage.com.au /news/tv--radio/buffy-and-the-clones/2006/02/24/1140670217264.html   (1128 words)

Hear 2.0: Your Station can be a Cult Brand like Harley or Apple It is unfortunate how many quick followers live in radio, and today formats are copied so quickly that the original ideas are not allowed to take form and find their audience. The world of radio is full of sameness and in today's competitive environment radio can't afford to build a station where the listener feels that his or her station has no substitute, no equal, no match.

Rainydawg Radio - Cloud Cult - Aurora Borealis Craig Minowa is the singer and songwriter behind Cloud Cult, a musician and environmentalist whose activism has been covered by National Geographic and made him an advisor to the United Nations. Aurora Borealis is Cloud Cult's fourth album, released on the home-grown label Earthology, which practices environmentally-friendly packaging and printing, and which donates 100% of the profits from Cloud Cult releases to charity. In accordance with its largely homemade origins, which seem even more independent than most of today's indie rock bands, Aurora Borealis is an album which at first seems remarkably uneven and immature, but that eventually reveals beautiful, fully-realized songwriting. www.rainydawg.org /musicreviews.php?reviewID=1   (839 words)
