These sported thin bound front and back bodies, off-round sound hole, bolt on maple necks, banana headstocks, rosewood fretboards, and a passive transducer pickup mounted on the bridge with a volume and tone control on the upper horn of the body. The first batch of Ferringtons were offered in 1986, the KFS-1 (Strat shape and the KFT-1 (Tele shape). These guitars were heavily advertised by big names such as and Dweezil Zappa. The idea was to have an acoustic with the feel of an electric. Ferrington designed all of the models of the Kramer Ferrington lines and Kramer had the majority of them made in Korea. In 1985-86, Kramer began its relationship with Danny Ferrington, the Nashville-based luthier who built several guitars for celebrities and, himself had became a reputable reputation for new designs of electric/acoustic guitars. It was surprisingly difficult to find the answer to the question in the title of this Post, so, to save other people the wander around the Internet that it cost me, and to get straight to the point, here is the answer: It’s a Kramer Ferrington. He’s fucking Freddie Mercury and that’s all that fucking matters.” As Malek puts it, he’s the representative of everyone who resists being categorized: “When you ask him in interviews, he often says I’m just me, darling, I’m me, no boxes, no labels. He can’t be contained within the fenced-off category of Parsis. The important thing was his appeal to our shared humanity. The important thing about Freddie was not some arbitrary DNA he shared with a tiny population. But that would be both irrational and narrow minded. It’s especially tempting, then, for me, as a fellow Parsi, to claim some kind of ownership over Freddie, some special connection to him, some esoteric ability to understand, some kind of shared credit for his gifts. But to transcend such narrow categories as irrelevant. But not necessarily in order to conform to some majority culture, not to whitewash, pass or hide one’s roots out of shame.

The movie provides a salutary reminder that this has not always been the case: that belonging to an ethnic minority used to be less a badge of pride than something to be overcome. N general, the film tells a different story and it’s one which we seem to have forgotten in this age of identity politics, in which we so often depict racial heritage as the most important element of a person’s being. Her review in Areo Magazine says interesting and true things about the film, about our strange, sad politics, and about personal reinvention: Like Freddie Mercury, around whom the new Queen biopic revolves, Iona Italia is Parsi and, like him, she’s more than that. UPDATE: You can read a more detailed guide to the characters at Polygon and watch some in-game action below. Thanks to Tim Almond for introducing me to this excellent, excellent track. The layers of “cultural appropriation” are dizzying. And check out this cover dance from Vietnam: Now, as well as the serious cosplay tributes, a gang of Chinese fans have remade the video on a shoestring budget. Here’s the original dance routine upon which it was based:

The dancers get a payday and free advertising.Īpart from the music itself having a hypnotic, elastic groove and a strong melody, it/the performers manages/manage to use melisma to good effect: adding funky filigrees sparingly, rather than as in the all-too-popular practice of stunt singing by wandering up and down scales at random points in vocal lines. The flagging fortunes of the game are revived. The single becomes a global No.1 hit and fans start writing slashfic about the characters. Videogame company Riot Games reimagines four of its characters as a K-pop band, hires a DJ and singers to produce a track in the band’s name to go with a release of new skins for characters in their League Of Legends decade-old online game, hires dancers to do a routine, hires CGI artists to turn it into a video starring the character skins.
