  J Dilla's Donuts

  Jordan Ferguson

  From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as “hip hop music” is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying?Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla’s own musical catalogue, Jordan Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist’s declining health as it is an example of what scholars call “late style,” placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.

  FANTASTIC MR. FOX 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel. The story follows Mr. Fox, a clever and adventurous fox who, after settling into a new home with his family, returns to his old ways of stealing from three cruel farmers. As he leads his family and animal friends in a series of heists, they face increasing danger. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle between personal desires and responsibilities. With quirky humor, visual symmetry, and a heartfelt narrative, it balances whimsy and depth. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Wes Anderson, the writer, producer, and director, opted to have the actors record their lines in natural, on-location settings rather than in a studio to capture a more spontaneous feel. The recordings took place in various locations, including a forest, an attic, a stable, and even underground.” 
    
  “The color scheme of the movie predominantly features autumn tones—yellow, orange, and brown—with very little use of green and blue. However, Kristofferson’s blue outfit was intentionally chosen to highlight his status as an outsider.” 
    
  "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was the first book Wes Anderson ever owned, a gift from his mother when he was seven years old. It has remained on his bookshelf ever since.”

  A unique guide to every aspect of putting on your own solo show: choosing the subject, raising the finance, booking the venue - and performing it!
  More and more actors – faced with ever longer periods of unemployment – are turning to the solo show as a way of keeping active, keeping visible, and keeping the wolf from the door! This book is essential reading for anyone contemplating such a move, and comprehensively covers every aspect of putting on your own one-person show.
  Being a veteran of the solo-show circuit, as a writer, performer and director, Gareth Armstrong is the ideal guide. He takes you step by step through each stage of the process:
  Choosing the right material – or devising your own
  Raising the finance
  Finding the venues
  Hiring a bookings manager and other personnel
  Arranging publicity
  Winning an audience
  There is a special section on that mecca for solo shows, the Edinburgh Fringe, and an extensive appendix covering funding bodies, venues, festivals and more. Throughout the book, Armstrong illustrates his points with case studies of actual solo shows by performers such as Miriam Margolyes, Linda Marlowe and Guy Masterson.
  'So You Want To Do A Solo Show? is a thorough, meticulous, hands-on, "how-to-do" manual, covering everything from the germination of an idea right through to the costing of the flyers.
