Clicca qui per leggere l’intero articolo sul libroAutore: Ilaria Grimaldi The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums…Ever At the end of any year it’s a great time to look back and so we’ve decided to attempt to come up with a definitive list of the 50 Greatest Jazz Albums of all time. Impossible, you are probably thinking, and it probably is, but rather than just thinking of our favourites we decided to take a good look through the web to see what other lists there are and combine our findings. As usual we expect many of you to disagree, sometimes strongly, but as usual we will love hearing from you. It took us several days of searching but here it is, the 50 greatest… 50.
Android RoboSpice with GoogleHttpClient In this post we will examine an example app in which we make a RoboSpice request using GoogleHttpClient. The github repo is here. Dependencies First, we need to grab the RoboSpice dependency JARs from the repository repo. git clone Inside of 1.4.11/robospice-google-http-client are the JARs we need to include in the project. We will also need one JAR from the Google-Http-Lib source. Classes We are going to create a few files: BaseSpiceActivity import com.octo.android.robospice.JacksonGoogleHttpClientSpiceService; import com.octo.android.robospice.SpiceManager; public class BaseSpiceActivity extends Activity { private SpiceManager spiceManager = new SpiceManager(JacksonGoogleHttpClientSpiceService.class); @Override protected void onStart() { spiceManager.start(this); super.onStart(); } @Override protected void onStop() { spiceManager.shouldStop(); super.onStop(); } protected SpiceManager getSpiceManager() { return spiceManager; } } Fin
David Bowie’s Enchanting Isolated Vocal Track for “Ziggy Stardust” by Maria Popova Because Ziggy didn’t always play guitar. In June of 1972, David Bowie released his fifth studio record, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars — the album that gave birth to his legendary alter ego, the fictional rock star Ziggy Stardust, who catapulted Bowie into superstardom and went on to become one of the twentieth century’s greatest pop-culture cults. This mesmerizing isolated vocal track for the album’s title song reveals as much the intimate beauty of Bowie’s imperfect voice as it does the enormous role instrumentation and performance play in creating the overall effect of the song’s enchantment and exhilaration: Donating = Loving Bringing you (ad-free) Brain Pickings takes hundreds of hours each month. You can also become a one-time patron with a single donation in any amount. Brain Pickings has a free weekly newsletter. Share on Tumblr
This is What Michael Jackson Sounds Like in Quechua Even the youngs think Quechua is cool. After the language was translated for a book, a song, and given a shoutout by a fútbolero, we started thinking that Quechua was having a sort of moment. Perhaps the biggest sign of this is that a 14-year-old girl named Renata Flores sang a Quechua version of Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.” The Ayacuchana sings the tune at the Vilcashuamán ruins, as guitars and a Peruvian cajón play. According to La Republica, the video is part of the Asociación Cultural SURCA, which works to get the youth to learn the importance of Quechua.
