This book puts sampling studies on the academic map by focusing on sampling as a logic of exchange between audio-visual media. While some recent scholarship has addressed sampling primarily in relation to copyright, this book is a first: a critical study of sampling and remixing across audio-visual media. Of special interest here are works that bring together both audio and visual sampling: music that samples film and television; underground dance and multimedia scenes that rely on sampling; Internet "memes" that repurpose music videos, trailers and news broadcasts; films and videos that incorporate a wide range of sampling aesthetics; and other provocative variations. Comprised of four sections titled "roots," "scenes," "cinema" and "web" this collection digs deep into and across sampling practices that intervene in popular culture from unconventional or subversive perspectives. To this end, Sampling Media extends the conceptual boundaries of sampling by emphasizing its inter-medial dimensions, exploring the politics of sampling practice beyond copyright law, and examining its more marginal applications. It likewise puts into conversation compelling instances of sampling from a wide variety of historical and contemporary, global and local contexts.
A Heart So Gifted
He's a brilliant NHL defenseman, a fearless, tattooed rebel, and the unpredictable bad boy of the Atlanta Siege. Sebastian "Bass" Bell has never met a bet he wouldn't make. That's partly why he's riding out a probationary rap from Siege management. One more screw-up and he'll be bounced down to the minors or dropped from the team, sending him out of the city he loves and costing him the chance at postseason redemption. But a guy like Bass can only resist temptation for so long, and his teammates keep offering up sucker bets. Get a terrible tattoo for ten thousand bucks? Sure. Get another piercing for a weekend with a Bugatti? Why not? Marry the team's anthem singer on a wild weekend in Vegas? Whoops. Now if he doesn't want management finding out his marriage is just an alcohol-induced bet gone wrong, he'll have to convince his new wife to stick it out for a while and make it look legit. Here's hoping Lady Luck is on his side. She's an impetuous beauty, a gifted singer-songwriter, and The Siege's lucky charm. Emma Chastain is ready to do whatever it takes to make it big in the music industry. That's why she jumped at the chance to become the Atlanta Siege's dedicated anthem singer. With the team's stellar P.R. boosting her views and followers, she's on the way to making all her dreams come true. So when she's asked to travel with the team to Vegas, she goes all-in. Sing for a packed arena of rabid hockey fans? Sure. Party with a bunch of sexy-as-sin hockey players? Hell, yeah. Strike a bargain with the charming scoundrel she married on a dare and lie to the entire world? Whoops. It starts as a phony romance meant to save their careers. How it all ends will depend on whether they're willing to up the stakes and risk losing their hearts. Game on.

“Stay in the Fight … Finish the Fight … Fight Finished.” These are the slogans the 2019 Washington Nationals used to rally from a 19-31 start to become baseball champions, earning DC’s first World Series title in ninety-five years. This reflective book captures that historic season, and a dramatic postseason that saw the team rally to win five come-from-behind elimination games – led by the arms of Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, and Patrick Corbin, and the bats of Juan Soto, Trea Turner and Anthony Rendon. It also covers the colorful history of DC baseball, including the pioneering Washington Nationals of 1859, the 1924 World Series champion Washington Senators, when the entire nation rooted for DC, and the Homestead Grays, a perennial Negro League pennant winner from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s.
