Antony and the Johnsons – I fell in love with a dead boy. The Advocate. Franz Ferdinand - Michael. Franz Ferdinand. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Franz Ferdinand est un groupe de rock écossais, fondé à Glasgow en 2001. Ce patronyme leur est venu en regardant une course de chevaux dont l'un des concurrents portait le nom de l'archiduc François-Ferdinand d'Autriche (Franz Ferdinand en allemand).

Ce nom les a inspirés car il impliquait une notion de changement brutal (dans un contexte politique déjà très tendu, l'assassinat de Franz Ferdinand avait précipité la Première Guerre mondiale). Membres[modifier | modifier le code] Paul Thomson, à la batterie Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] La formation du groupe[modifier | modifier le code] Robert Hardy quitte le Yorkshire et s'installe à Glasgow en 2000 afin d'étudier à la Glasgow School of Art. Franz Ferdinand commence à répéter dans un entrepôt désaffecté du quartier de Gorbals, situé sur la rive sud de la rivière Clyde, qu'ils surnomment ironiquement « le Château » (en français dans le texte).

Concert de Franz Ferdinand à Vienne. Europe 2. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Europe 2 Historique[modifier | modifier le code] En 1986, soucieux d'être un acteur sur le nouveau marché des radios musicales FM, en pleine expansion et ayant accès désormais à la publicité pour se financer - le Groupe Europe 1, codirigé par Jacques Lehn et Frank Ténot, entame la création d'un programme musical (dénommé "La Fréquence Magique"). Jeff Pollack et Tommy Hadges les renommés consultants américains, participent à la mise en place du premier format d'Europe 2 : Adulte Contemporain.

On note dans la première équipe d'animation la présence de Bernard Schu, une célébrité des nuits d'RTL et l'un des piliers de WRTL Fin 1997 le groupe Lagardère décide de créer un pôle FM afin de développer des synergies entre Europe 2 et RFM dont il deviendra l'actionnaire de référence. A la rentrée 2005 pour stopper une érosion des audiences Europe 2 change tout : Nouveau logo nouvelle habillage sonores et nouveau slogan "Ma Musique de 90 à Demain" Christina Aguilera - Beautiful. Beautiful (Christina Aguilera song) Christina Aguilera tops 'empowering' song poll - Music News. Ke$ha and Katy Perry Sing for Gay Rights. But “We R Who We R” has a subtext: It is intended as a response to the recent rash of suicides by gay teenagers and young adults, several of whom were close to Ke$ha’s age.

(She is 23.) “It’s heartbreaking,” said the singer, who has sold upward of 29 million tracks worldwide since her first album, “Animal,” made its debut at No. 1 in January, with lyrics about brushing her teeth with whiskey. She called her latest single an anthem for those “who haven’t felt accepted because of their sexuality,” a torch song for “people being themselves unapologetically.”

In the wake of the continued legal wrangling over the military’s “” policy and ; harassment of gay youth in schools; and anger over the use of a gay joke in the trailer for the film “The Dilemma,” the top of the pop music charts has become a refuge of unambiguous support for gay rights. To get her fans ready to sing the song loud and proud, Ms.

Then there is , arguably the biggest gay idol of the decade. Mr. The Advocate. Christina Aguilera Reclaims The Fame. We sit down with the freakishly gifted singer to discuss her fourth album, Bionic, one of the hottest -- and gayest -- soundtracks of the summer. Christina Aguilera, now 29, lives in Ozzy Osbourne's old house right off the Sunset Strip with her 2-year-old kid, Max Liron, her husband Jordan 'Jordy' Bratman, and a platoon of Latinos who dust, Swiffer, sweep, and generally keep the manor. The house has been thoroughly Aguilerized with zebra- and leopard-print carpets and Shepard Fairey prints that scream Obey from the walls. The doorknobs, at least, are holdovers from the Osbourne era, heavy iron affairs with Gothic crosses on them.

The other holdover is the recording studio, a converted pool house past a courtyard full of teak gazebos, lightly melted Buddha-head candles, and a sad Kermit doll lying face down in the pool like Joe Gillis in Sunset Boulevard. Hanging above the sofa is a creepy painting by British graffiti artist D*Face. Aguilera's pool house is no cabin in the woods. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I see. Suddenly I See. "Suddenly I See" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and is featured on her debut album, Eye to the Telescope. It was released on 29 August 2005 as the third single (second single in United States) from the album, charting at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2005 in British music).

The single was a hit in Australia where it charted at number six on the ARIA Singles Chart. It was also certified gold by ARIA for sales of 35,000 copies. Music and lyrics[edit] The music has been described as featuring a "chugging rhythm" with a "guitar-bass focused beat",[1] as "compelling", and with "urgency", and having a "shiny production".[4] Although the real focus might be on her "clear vocals",[1] "it's in the growls...that Tunstall truly commands attention".[5] Stylistically, it has been described as a "blues-country-pop hybrid".[1] It also has a Blue-eyed soul sound. Media use[edit] The song has also been used in a series of commercials for Walmart, as well as for Best Buy. KT Tunstall: Not Going to 'F--- It Up''

KT Tunstall: I’m proud of my lesbian following. Rock chick KT Tunstall has revealed her gratitude to her gay and lesbian following in an interview with a daily newspaper. The 30-year-old singer told the Daily Mirror she was proud to have a massive lesbian fan base, she said: “There’s always a gay crowd up the front at my gigs. It’s a huge compliment.”

“I think it’s because I’m a singer-songwriter with a personality – balls and some sassiness.” She said her drummer boyfriend, Luke Bullen, couldn’t be more pleased, “No man would be too upset that lots of young, attractive lesbians like his girlfriend.” “He thinks it’s great.” The Scot believes she unintentionally sent out mixed messages about her sexuality when she wore a pair of rainbow-patterned braces on her record cover. Miss Tunstall added: “I was on stage in Dublin when I heard a girl in the crowd shout: ‘KT, you’re a lesbian!’ “I said: ‘You can’t say that!’ “At the end of the gig, a roadie handed me a note from the woman.
