Biography

In 2005, with the help of their manager, James Washington, the duo entered and won a talent competition at the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York. Their impressive victory on Showtime at the Apollo created a media frenzy, and led to subsequent appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show with Katie Couric, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Around the same time the duo showcased their talents at Carnegie Hall and even performed for President George W. Bush at The White House.

On January 8, 2006, the Escobars performed their song Thunder at the debut of the redesigned Cadillac CTS at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Nuttin’ But Stringz performed after a classical string quartet. General Motors Corp. executives said Nuttin’ But Stringz shows that what used to be good enough (the quartet) needs to be reinvigorated (N.B.S). A video for Thunder is also featured on the website for Jack’s Big Music Show on Noggin. The exposure continued when they were featured in the first of five commercials featuring local artists on New York’s local news channel, NY1.

NBS gained some national attention when their unique brand of music secured the brothers a small part in the 2006 dance movie Step Up, and shortly after CBS featured “Thunder” during the 2007 NCAA Tournament. ‘Thunder’ was also featured in the pilot episode of the television series The Black Donnellys, and was sampled in various television commercials.

NBS announced via the group’s My Space page that a new album is currently in the works and will be released in spring 2009, and will be followed later in the year by a tour..

America’s Got Talent

The brothers big break came when they auditioned for the third season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent in New York City and received a unanimous yes from all three judges thus advancing to Las Vegas. They were subsequently named to the Top 40, advancing to Hollywood. They made it through subsequent rounds and were one of the five acts to make it to the finals. The duo ultimately placed third behind the winner Neal E. Boyd and runner-up Eli Mattson. As a result, the Escobar brother’s music was featured during a montage at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

Benito Cereno

Jump to: navigation, search

“Benito Cereno”
Author	Herman Melville
Country	United States of America
Language	English
Published in	1855, 1856
Publisher	Putnam’s Monthly

Benito Cereno is a novella or short novel by Herman Melville. It was first serialized in Putnam’s Monthly in 1855 and later included in slightly revised version in his collection The Piazza Tales (1856).

Contents 1 Background 2 Adaptations 3 References 4 Sources 5 External links

Background

The novella centers on a slave rebellion on board a Spanish merchant ship in 1799 and because of its ambiguity has been read by some as racist and pro-slavery and by others as anti-racist and abolitionist text (Newman 1986). Earlier critics, however, had seen Benito Cereno as a tale that primarily explores human depravity and does not reflect upon race at all (for example Feltenstein 1947). Melville’s most recent biographer, Andrew Delbanco, emphasizes the topicality of “Benito Cereno” in a post-September 11th world: “In our own time of terror and torture, Benito Cereno has emerged as the most salient of Melville’s works: a tale of desperate men in the grip of a vengeful fury that those whom they hate cannot begin to understand”.

The primary source for the plot, as well as some of the text, was Amasa Delano’s Narrative of Voyages and Travels, in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, chapter 18 (1817), though Benito Cereno contains crucial changes and expansions that make it a very different text. The most transformative change lies in the narrator, or rather in the way in which the tale is told: The crucial information that in the slave rebellion, all the senior Spanish seamen bar the captain Don Benito Cereno have been murdered, is withheld from the reader. The Spanish sailors, and specifically Cereno, are forced to play along in a theatrical performance for the benefit of the American Amasa Delano who initially approaches the dilapidated Spanish ship to offer his assistance. Though written in the third person, the narrative emerges largely through the point of view of Delano throughout the first and longest part of the narrative and therefore remains limited to what Delano sees (or thinks he sees). Delano represents a version of New England innocence, which has also been read as strategy to ensure colonial power over both Spain and Africans in the “New World” (cf. Sundquist 1993). Babo, who plays the faithful body servant to the Spanish captain (representing European aristocracy), is the master-mind behind both the revolt and the subsequent subterfuge. The enslaved Africans have ruthlessly killed their “owner”, Alexandro Aranda, and other key officers on the ship to force the captain and the remaining crew to take them back to Africa. To some earlier critics, Babo represented evil, but more recent criticism has moved to reading Babo as the heroic leader of a slave rebellion, whose tragic failure does not diminish the genius of the rebels. In an inversion of contemporary racial stereotypes, Babo is portrayed as a physically weak man of great intellect, his head (impaled on a spike at the end of the story) a “hive of subtlety”. In contrast, the supposedly civilized American Delano is duped by Babo and his comrades for the duration of the novella, only ultimately defeating him and rescuing the distraught Cereno through brute strength.

Adaptations

• Robert Lowell, “Benito Cereno” (1964, Part of the trilogy “The Old Glory”)
• Yusef Komunyakaa, “Captain Amasa Delano’s Dilemma” (in American Poetry Review, 1996)
• Jay Bushman, “goodcaptain” (2007, experiment in online storytelling)

Life with Feathers
Directed by	Friz Freleng
Produced by	Edward Selzer
Written by	Tedd Pierce
Starring	Mel Blanc
Music by	Carl W. Stalling
Distributed by	Warner Bros. Pictures
Release date(s)	March 24, 1945
Running time	8 mins.
Country	United States
Language	English

Life with Feathers is a 1945 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng and produced and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film. This cartoon marks the first appearance of the then-unnamed cat Sylvester.

The title is a play on the longest-running non-musical on Broadway, Life with Father (the title being the only connection between the two works). Warner Bros. would produce a film version in 1947.

Contents 1 Plot 2 Censorship 3 Cast 4 External links

Plot

The film centers on a heartbroken lovebird’s decision to commit suicide after his marriage goes sour. He recruits a black cat (Sylvester) to eat him, but the suspicious cat thinks the bird is poison and refuses. For the rest of the film, the lovebird attempts to get Sylvester to eat him by persuasion, bribery, and force. The gag of a character wanting to be eaten and the cat refusing to is later repeated in the Hubie and Bertie cartoon Cheese Chasers.

Censorship

• When the cartoon was shown on Cartoon Network and The WB, the part where the lovebird thinks of different ways to commit suicide after his wife throws him out was cut.

Cast

• Mel Blanc as Sylvester
• Danny Webb as Radio Announcer

History

The station first went on-the-air September 22, 1975 as the first of two stations in Alpena to sign-on that year (the other being WCMU-TV satellite WCML that launched in November). WBKB has always been a CBS affiliate. The Alpena market consists of Alpena and Alcona Counties and is the third smallest media market in the United States. It is also served by portions of the Northern Michigan (Traverse City, Cadillac, and Sault Ste. Marie) as well as the Mid-Michigan (Bay City, Saginaw, Midland, and Flint) markets.

The station originally aired a digital signal on VHF channel 13 from a transmitter at the station’s studios. After the switch to digital-only broadcasting on June 12, 2009, they moved the digital signal to channel 11.

At some point in November 2009, WBKB added a new second digital subchannel to serve as the area’s primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate. Details of this new channel, such as branding and logo, are currently unknown. WFUP in Vanderbilt, which is a full-time satellite of WFQX-TV in Cadillac, had been the default Fox affiliate for the Alpena area. WFUP served over-the-air viewers while WFQX was offered on Charter systems and these options are still available. At one point in time, that station even operated a repeater (W31BO channel 31) in the city. As for MyNetworkTV, WNEM-DT2 in Bay City was and continues to be offered on Charter.

Legacy of WBKB call sign

The WBKB call letters originally belonged (from 1946 until 1953) to channel 4 in Chicago. That station was owned by the Balaban and Katz Broadcasting subsidiary of Paramount Pictures and is now CBS owned-and-operated affiliate WBBM-TV. WBKB then transferred to Chicago’s ABC owned-and-operated station on channel 7 from 1953 to 1968 until it was renamed WLS-TV.

Newscasts

Shortly after Stephan Marks acquired WBKB, a local newscast called UGN News (”UGN” meaning “Upper Great Lakes News Network”) debuted originating from both this station and sister channels WBUP / WBKP in Marquette. The broadcast featured news and weather from the entire Upper and Northern Lower Peninsulas. In 2006, coverage was reduced to the Lower Peninsula and now only originates from WBKB. Local news currently airs weeknights at 6 and 11 as well as weekends at 11.

Bauchklang

Jump to: navigation, search

Bauchklang is an Austrian beatboxing group.

This “vocal groove project” formed 1996 around the frontman and leadsinger Andreas Fraenzel out of a musical-production “Jesus Christ Superstar” which he and Alex Boeck participated in. They create their sound (Hip Hop, Raggae, Trance, Folk, Ethno, Drum’n'Bass, Africanism and Ambient) without the help of any instruments - just with the power of their voices.
