Lost Detroit: Stories Behind the Motor City’s Majestic Ruins

Lost Detroit tells the stories behind 12 of the city’s most beautiful, all-but-forgotten landmarks and of the people behind them, from the day they opened to the day they closed. While these buildings might stand as ghosts of the past today, their stories live on within these pages. The team behind this project brings you the memories of those who caught trains out of the majestic Michigan Central Station, necked with girlfriends in the balcony of the palatial Michigan Theatre, danced the night

Andrew Moore: Detroit Disassembled

No longer the Motor City of boom-time industry, the city of Detroit has fallen into an incredible state of dilapidation since the decline of the American auto industry after the Second World War. Today, whole sections of the city resemble a war zone, its once-spectacular architectural grandeur reduced to vacant ruins. In Detroit Disassembled, photographer Andrew Moore records a territory in which the ordinary flow of time-or the forward march of the assembly line-appears to have been thrown sp

Watch Packers vs Detroit Lions Online Streaming Live!

In this watch the NFL online article, we will explain exactly how to view the Green Bay Packers playing the Detroit Lions online over the Internet. Following that, we will provide a game preview and tell you who will triumph in the Lions-Packers game online here.

As a start, let’s take a look at the where and the when. The Packers versus Lions contest will begin at Ford Field on Sunday, December 12th at 1pm Eastern. If you are not attending the game, you can always watch this game and all games online by clicking the link below:

Watch the Detroit Lions versus the Green Bay Packers online here.

According to their win-loss record, the Packers should take home the title in this NFL contest. The Packers arrive at this contest with a standing record of 8-4 with 5 of their successes being in the home stadium at Lambeau.

The Lions need one in the “W” column with their current tally at 2-10.

The reason I watch Football every weekend is because outcomes are not based on historical performance. Every game provides a new beginning for every game and every NFL player on the roster.

Let’s take a moment to extend beyond their individual records and see how the stats match up for each team.

The Packers rank 6th overall in the NFL in passing. Combined with the 6th rated passing attack behind quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers have the league’s 23rd rated rushing attack. The Packers are just one game behind their division rival Bears and need to keep winning to assure either a playoff appearance, either by virtue of a wild card or winning the division.

On the side of the coin, we have the Lions. The Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills, two of the teams with the worst records in the NFL this year, have actually been a joy to watch playing close contests with tough opponents. In face, the Lions nearly beat the Packers in their first outing this season and would love to play playoff spoiler this weekend.

Can the Lions destroy the Packers playoff hopes? Will the Packers leave Ford Field with much-needed win? If I knew the answers to those questions for sure, I would be a rich man! But that is why I love to watch the games. As a reminder, if this game is not available for you on TV, you can always catch it online at:

Watch the Green Bay Packers versus the Detroit Lions online here.

This game has big playoff implications for the Packers and they need the win. The Lions would love to dash their hopes. Be sure to watch the Packers vs the Lions on Sunday to see if the Packers can catch the Bears for the division title.

SOLD OUT: Gotye
Event on 2012-02-02 20:00:00
Ask Gotye about his new album Making Mirrors and hell speak not of songs, but of sounds. Hell describe the various valves through which strings and choirs cycle on his Lowrey Cotillion, a vintage organ bought for 100 bucks in a second-hand shop that features on the record. Or how he constructed a bassline by sampling the Winton Musical Fence, an unlikely instrument he discovered in the outback of Queensland, Australia, comprised of five large metal strings attached to wooden fence posts and a resonant chamber. He may mention the horn break from a traditional Taiwanese folk song he discovered on a 1970s Cathay Pacific promotional record, which he sampled, sped up and dubbed out, before introducing it to some Turkish drum sounds. Or the unique, virtual versions of acoustic instruments among them a chromaharp and an mbira he created by painstakingly multisampling every note.

Listen to Making Mirrors and youll be drawn in by the details, transported to a world where every moment matters. This is pop at its most precise, but also electronic music at its most emotional. The record delves into dub, Detroit-era Motown soul, stadium-size politipop, synth-folk and world music on glorious, sprawling, huge-hearted songs.

Gotye (pronounced Gauthier) first found fame in his native Australia with his second album, 2006s Like Drawing Blood. Radio station Triple J named it their album of the year, as did iTunes on its release in Europe in 2008. It was recently voted the 11th greatest Australian album of all time. In Britain, Like Drawing Blood became a cult hit while in the States, it made waves after Drew Barrymore fell in love with single Learnalilgivinanlovin and used it in several of her films.

Making Mirrors, its extraordinary follow-up, was more than two and a half years in the making. To write and record its dozen sumptuous songs, Gotye moved from Melbourne to a barn on his parents remote five hectare block on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. There, he had the space to permanently set up his growing array of instruments and recording equipment, and found the isolation that allowed for sonic experimentation and recording at any time of the day.

After Like Drawing Blood, which was constructed almost entirely from samples of old vinyl, Gotye set about making an album using more physical and acoustic instruments.

"I ended up sampling a lot of them note-by-note and turning them into virtual instruments," he explains. "It's a slow and sometimes laborious process, but it can completely change the sound of the instrument and how you approach playing it. You can buy so many virtual instruments online these days, but its not nearly as personal as making them yourself. I found a beautiful old chromaharp at an antique shop, and virtualised it in this way. It ended up sounding more like an unusual hammer dulcimer when played on a midi keyboard or programmed with software"

Meanwhile, Gotye continued to raid local second-hand shops for obscure vinyl to sample.

A lot of samples came from 1950s and 60s exotica records, says Gotye. Guys like Les Baxter; these amazing orchestrators and producers who experimented so boldly with musical colours and the stereo spectrum

For Bronte, the closing track on the new record, I used a sample of 60s orchestrator Leo Addeo. He made an exotica record called Calypso which featured lots of wildly out-of-tune steel drums. I pitched some grabs of these around, really messing with the overtones of the samples, and it became a gentle, beautiful loop, while still being quite odd sonically.

Gotyes background is as a drummer and often plays his shows solo, setting off samples from behind his drum kit while singing. On Eyes Wide Open, the first song recorded for Making Mirrors, he played live drums for the first time on a Gotye record. There is also live piano and bass guitar, plus some strange field recordings.

I recorded sounds from around my parents block me walking up the path, the frogs in the background and wove them subtly in to several songs. I even included the ambience of the barn in the background of Dont Worry, Well Be Watching You. The most obvious field recording is of the Winton Musical Fence. I played the fence strings one windy night in the outback and recorded it on a portable stereo. That became the bassline for Eyes Wide Open.

The dubby State Of The Art, with its spooky, pitch-shifted, sci-fi vocals, is an ode to the Lowrey Cotillion, with lyrics that mention its keys and functions.

Im fascinated by how attached to certain pieces of technology we can become. I mean, I love this organ!, laughs Gotye. But I was also interested in how these relationships dont often hold between generations. Certain pieces of gear that once captured peoples imagination can now appear quaint and outdated to younger people. Yet those who experienced them when they were at the vanguard of technological achievement, sometimes still hold onto that glorious vision of the future they provided. Its like we inscribe our dreams on these machines sometimes; we can develop these peculiar yet profound personal relationships with them.

In contrast, the joyous, uptempo I Feel Better revisits the Motown sound of Like Drawing Bloods breakthrough single Leanalilgivinanlovin.

That song was a direct response to listening to Martha Reeves Dancing In The Street when I was driving home one day, says Gotye. I was struck by how massive the tambourine sound on the recording is it feels like its being hit by the hand of God. I thought it was cool that such a wall of sound could be dominated by a physically quite small instrument like a tambourine. So I arrived home, played a tambourine backbeat at a similar tempo and put an impossibly big plate reverb on it. Sitting down at the piano in response to this percussion track, I had I Feel Better written in about an hour.

Already Making Mirrors is making waves thanks to stunning, Peter Gabriel-esque, first single Somebody That I Used To Know, a collaboration with New Zealand singer Kimbra which is currently nestled in the Australian Top 10. Within three weeks of its striking, stop-frame, body-painting video being posted on YouTube, the song had received more than two million hits and made it to No.1 on the Hype Machine Twitter chart. Hear it once and youll be haunted by it for weeks.

Gotye launched Making Mirrors in Australia in August with a gig at Sydney Opera House, which is followed by a tour in the autumn. For the first time, he will be playing Gotye music completely live.

I have a ten-piece band, in which everyone sings and plays multiple instruments, says Gotye. These are by far my most ambitious shows to date. There will be no backing tracks used. All visuals will be triggered live too. Weve been rehearsing twice a week for the past 3 months, and its exciting because its dangerous. It could go wrong on every song. Ive never been one to make my life easy.
