Woodstock at 50: A book for music revolutionaries

This August, Woodstock celebrates its 50th anniversary. Now, a whole new generation of people are finding their voices through political opposition.

In writing Woodstock at 50, Aidan Prewett investigated themes which draw parallels to the tumultuous revolutions of the 1960s and the Trump movement of today. Using material that sprang from his documentary, A Venue for The End of The World, the book dives deep into the occurrences of Woodstock and examines techniques of crowd and political influence.

“Society seems to have entered a new political era, and what better time than the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock to take a step back and see how these kind of political challenges were met by previous generations. The people who were there have truly enlightening stories to share about how to stand up to an authority that has overstepped its bounds. Fifty years ago, Woodstock inspired an entire generation to stand up for themselves. We can learn so much from the people who were there.” Aidan Prewett explains.

Prism Tats Shares New Song “Big Blue”, Watch The Neon Sign-Filled Music Video Now

“This is the fourth time that I’ve collaborated with Dan Monick and probably my favorite so far,” said van der Spek. “I’ve become such a fan of his photography since we started working together 3 years ago and felt like “Big Blue” would be a great backdrop for the abandoned strip malls and desolate donut shops of LA that Dan is drawn to. We aimed to shoot as many rolls of film as possible over the course of two nights. Attracted by the florescent and neon lights of donut shops, psychics, porn and pawn shops, we drove all night and collected over a thousand film stills on five different cameras and then edited them together into a video. This song is about being lonely and feeling blue.”

Listen to Lightning Bug’s shoegaze-inspired single “Vision Scraps”

about the song, Audrey Kang (Lightning Bug) shares: “This song includes a quote from my mom: “Too much freedom’s a cage – privilege.” I wrote it a while ago – I think I was around 20 – while I was trying to figure out what kind of life I wanted for myself. Now I know that life is a feast of surprises and trying to map it out is like rolling the boulder up the hill.”

Guaxe, the new duo from Dino Almeida of Boogarins and Pedro Bonifrate of Supercordas, announce their self-titled, debut album!

Guaxe (pr. Gwah-shee) is a musical duo that was formed spontaneously after the encounter of two Brazilian psych rockers Dino Almeida (Boogarins) and Pedro Bonifrate (Supercordas). Both members have guested on each others’ recordings and had shared the stage at a few festivals together before Supercordas’ dissolution in 2016. Over recent years, Dino has paid Bonifrate and his family many short visits to his home in Paraty in coastal Brazil. During these getaways, the Guaxe album was written and recorded — with 4-track machines, computers, cranky gear, 10-string guitars, children playing, and a rainforest full of lizards all around the house.
