Nel 2023, finalmente, ho superato le 10 mila pagine lette, arrivando a quota 11336. Era un piccolo limite personale, niente di competitivo, ma il fatto di aver cambiato metodo di lettura mi ha aiutato nell'intento. Quest'anno ho letto anche libri su consigli di amici di Tumblr, uno tra questi è stato un regalo graditissimo. Per quelle vie misteriose e magiche che i libri ti fanno seguire, a volte ho comprato, senza saperlo, libri che sono complementari per tematiche e trame. Obiettivo del prossimo anno è leggere un classico a trimestre. Se ci sono curiosità sui titoli, chiedete!

You know, the flack about Trump and his daughter, Ivanka is strange. To me, it isn’t strange because there may be something wacky going on, because that is probably not true. The thing that always hit me is that back in the day I think he was giving her his endorsement or something. A man with an ego like that probably thought that the best thing he could give his daughter was his seal of approval on her looks et al. JS** The last of the summer Jan. 6 hearings was repetitive but was proof positive that Trump is a traitor. The committee was able to prove that although seemingly inactive thru the entire Jan. 6 ordeal, the President was active in the failed coup attempt by trying to influence senators and the targeting of Pence. There were no photos allowed of him in the 187 minutes. ** Bannon was convicted for failing to show up for a congressional hearing.

Bradley Cooper is dating Huma Abedin, Hillary’s chief of staff. They were reportedly introduced by Anna Wintour.

Ginni Thomas paid for buses to bring insurrectionists to Washington.

The Emmy noms have been announced.  The hardest category has to be Drama series: I mean, honestly, how do you pick between Better Call Saul, Ozark or Succession (the leader with 25 nods)? Ok, there are other good shows too but c’mon!! The comedy category is great too with Hacks, Barry, Curb your enthusiasm, Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The actors face stiff competition with leads like Donald Glover, Bill Hader, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Rachel Brosnahan, Qinta Brunson, Jean Smart, Issa Rae, Jason Bateman, Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Bob Odenkirk, Laura Linney, Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. Supporting role nominees include Anthony Carrigan, Tony Shalhoub, Bowen Yang, Henry Winkler, Tyler James Williams, Alex Borstein, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Kieran Culkin, Nicholas Braun, Chris Walken, Matt Macfadyen, Patricia Arquette, Rhea Seehorn, J. Smith Cameron and Julia Garner. Ok, that supporting dramatic actress thing is a tough one too. Guest actors include James Cromwell and Tom Pelphrey. Tom’s other half, Kaley Cuoko is also nominated this year. Rhea Seehorn is also nominated for Cooper’s Bar and Julia Garner gets a second nod for Inventing Anna. Voice over work that has been honored comes from Julie Andrews, Chadwick Boseman, Maya Rudolph and Jessica Walter. The narrator category is full with Barack Obama, Lupita Nyongo, W. Kamau Bell, Kareem Abdul Jabar and David Attenborough. There is also some love for Michael Keaton, Sebastian Stan, Lily James, Sarah Paulson, Mare Winningham, Jennifer Coolidge, The Randy Rainbow Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, McCartney 3,2,1, Andy Warhol Diaries, My next guest needs no introduction with Letterman and Norm Macdonald: Nothing Special.
Clint Eastwood won a 2nd lawsuit against online marketers. There are more lawsuits to come!

Joanne Lumley is a dame!!
*****
A woman was ticketed for driving alone in the HOV Lane. She is pregnant and told the police that her unborn child counts as a passenger since Roe was overturned. The State can’t have it both ways.
*****
Brendan Fraser will stun us in the Whale with Sadie Sink. ** Look for him in Killers of the Flower Moon as well. In an interview, he seemed nervous and excited to be working with Leo and Marty. Does he realize he is on equal footing with them? His talent has blown me away (Gods and Monsters, anyone) so I am sure that he will not disappoint! ** Scorsese will direct DiCaprio in The Wager.
*****
Mehmet Oz and his wife’s family paid a $95 mil fine for hiring thousands of illegal immigrants in Pa. The other guy running, John Fetterman’s wife created a free store serving 20,000 families a year. They also have a food rescue serving over 25 million pounds of food for those in need in Pa.

Did we all see the self- congratulatory fist bumps between Republicans after they blocked a bill to help toxin-exposed vets survive. ** Republicans haven’t met a veteran they won’t screw over.  - Jon Stewart
*****
Pa. Gov. Hopeful Doug Mastriano has aligned himself with GAB and founder Andrew Torba. Torba, a spouter of the big lie said, “My policy is not to conduct interviews with reporters who aren’t Christian and Doug, he does not talk to these people. They are dishonest. They’re liars. They’re a den of vipers, they want to destroy you.”
*****
I have railed here about this before and now have seen Colbert joke about his money and fame. Why do they think this is funny with all the poverty around them. We get it, you are rich and powerful, why do you want to keep reminding us of this?
*****
The black and white episode of Better Call Saul was awesome! Carol Burnett will win the Emmy next year for guest star, I am sure of it!
*****
What a sad day to hear about the death of Bob Rafelson. Check out the obit in the Hollywood Reporter because it tells all. The Monkees and Easy Rider shaped so much of my life. I will miss our tremendous talent.

With the exception of Unpacking my Library, Spector’s works in the Books On Books Collection fall into the category of ephemera. Unlike much other ephemera such as invitations, broadsides and the like, however, these items have that self-reflexiveness so characteristic of book art.

Please please please give me more Richey book recs! Especially with suicide as a theme, but if you know of any others, I would love to hear about them too! Thank you for being a fountain of a Manic knowledge and sharing it with us <3
Here's two lists! List one is stuff Richey definitely read, as in it's something he mentioned or referenced in lyrics/interviews/album booklet or setlist quotes/etc. List two is stuff that I can extrapolate he likely read, due to the things I know he did read. Note that a fair amount of these come with various trigger warnings. Again, I've read most but not all of these, so I can answer questions about a good number of them.
Oh, also, this totally slipped my mind from the last list somehow. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides was definitely a book Richey read; the Manics use a quote from the film version (which came out after Richey's death but they said in an interview they thought he'd have liked it) at the end of Doors Closing Slowly.
Definitely read: -Catcher In The Rye by JD Salinger -American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis -The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides -The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart -1984 by George Orwell -Confessions Of A Mask by Yukio Mishima -The Plague, The Stranger, and The Fall, all by Albert Camus -A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams -Lipstick Traces by Greil Marcus -The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche -The Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau -Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan -The Divided Self by RD Laing -Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky -Novel With Cocaine by M Ageyev -Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F. Scott Fitzgerald -Black Rain by Masuji Ibuse -Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry -Frisk by Dennis Cooper -Bartleby The Scrivener by Herman Melville -Homage To Catalonia by George Orwell -Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (which is what Apocalypse Now was based on, and the film was one of Richey’s major obsessions at the end of his life) -Brave New World by Aldous Huxley -Rumblefish by SE Hinton -Being And Nothingness by Jean Paul Sartre -Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite -The Atrocity Exhibition by JG Ballard -High Rise by JG Ballard -Birdy by William Wharton -The Trial by Franz Kafka -Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams -Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov -The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin -The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon -Lord of the Flies by William Golding -Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis -One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey -Birdy by William Wharton -Thirst For Love by Yukio Mishima -Miracle Of The Rose by Jean Genet -The Drowned And The Saved/So This Is A Man/Escape From Auschwitz, all by Primo Levi -The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank -Last Exit To Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr -The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe -Four Quartets by Hart Crane -The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri -The Pursuit Of Loneliness by Philip Slater -Society Of The Spectacle by Guy Debord -The Naked And The Dead by Norman Mailer -Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl -Illuminations by Arthur Rimbaud -Dialectic Of Enlightenment and Minima Moralia by Theodore Adorno -The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan -One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn -The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell -Naomi by Junchiro Tanizaki -SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas -The Lives Of Michel Foucault by David Macey -Rethinking Camelot by Noam Chomsky -The Anxiety Of Influence by Harold Bloom -The Unrest Cure And Other Stories by Saki (HH Munro) -King Lear by William Shakespeare -Confessions by Saint Augustine -The Day Of The Locust by Nathaniel West -Tom Jones by Henry Fielding -Bird Man: The Many Faces Of Robert Stroud by Jolene Babyak -The Demon by Hubert Selby Jr -The Waste Land by TS Eliot -Songs Of Innocence And Experience by William Blake
Likely read: -The Outsiders by SE Hinton -Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury -Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (features a suicidal main-ish character) -Post Office by Charles Bukowski -The Prophet by Khalil Gibran -Knots by RD Laing -On The Road by Jack Keroauc -No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre -The Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard -Junky & Naked Lunch, both by William S Burroughs -Valley Of The Dolls by Jacqueline Susanne -The Runaway Soul by Harold Brodkey -Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller -The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass -Austerlitz by WG Sebald -Betrayal by Harold Pinter -Invitation To A Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov -The Story Of O by Anne Desclos -Lucie’s Long Voyage by Alina Reyes -120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade -The Traitor by Andre Gorz -The Man Of Feeling by Henry Mackenzie -This Way To The Gas, Ladies And Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski -The White Rose by Inge Scholl -It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis -On Revolution by Hannah Arendt -Being There by Jerzy Kozinski -Heliogabalus: or, the Crowned Anarchist by Antonin Artaud -Resuscitation of a Hanged Man by Denis Johnson -Mysteries by Knut Hamsun -We by Yevgeny Zamyatin -Almost Transparent Blue by Ryu Murakami -Venus In Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch -How I Became One Of The Invisible by David Rattray -The Story Of The Eye by Georges Bataille -The Blue Of Noon by Georges Bataille
Also, there's a lot more of my ramblings and writings about the Manics on my other blog @meta-squash under the "manic street preachers" tag, if you're interested. (And I do love talking about them, and Richey especially.)
ETA: I went through all the (text) interviews of the Manics and wrote down every book they mentioned in interviews or lyrics and posted it up here.

Che libri consiglieresti ? Grazie♡
Salve Anon, beh è una domanda MOLTO generica. Ti farò una lista dei miei must-read books, ma se desideri sapere di un preciso genere ti conviene riformulare la domanda🤍 (inserirò anche alcuni titoli "banali" ma che comunque ritengo INDISPENSABILI, inoltre cercherò di dire solo due titoli per autore/autrice, altrimenti la lista diventerebbe infinita) *edit: le ultime parole famose lol
Gillian Flynn: L'amore bugiardo (Gone Girl), Sulla Pelle (Sharp Objects). Jeffrey Eugenides: Le vergini suicide (The Virgin Suicides), Middlesex. Clarice Lispector: Água viva, A Breath of Life (Um Sopro de Vida) Virginia Woolf: Io direi tutti lol ma se non hai mai letto nulla della Woolf io consiglierei di iniziare con La Signora Dalloway (Mrs Dalloway), che è senza dubbio il più conosciuto (io lo lessi la prima volta alle medie). Personalmente sono particolarmente legata a Le Onde (The Waves). Charlotte Brontë: Villette (e ovviamente Jane Eyre, ma lo inserirò in un altra categoria...) Elena Ferrante: I giorni dell'abbandono e OVVIAMENTE i libri della serie de L'amica Geniale. Devo ancora leggere La Vita Bugiarda degli Adulti, mi incuriosisce tantissimo! Isabel Allende: La casa degli spiriti (La casa de los espíritus), La figlia della fortuna (Hija de la fortuna) e Eva Luna (si sono 3, amo la Allende). Fyodor Dostoevsky: I fratelli Karamazov, Delitto e castigo. Ian McEwan: Espiazione (Atonement) dirne solo un altro è davvero complicato per me..mhh forse Il giardino di cemento (The Cement Garden). Adoro McEwan. Shirley Jackson: L'incubo di Hill House (The Haunting of Hill House), Abbiamo sempre vissuto nel castello (We Have Always Lived in the Castle). Isabella Santacroce: la "trilogia dello spavento". (So che la Santacroce non è una scrittrice molto apprezzata ed è un personaggio considerato "controverso", ma io la trovo molto interessante). Mary Shelley: Mathilda (come per Jane Eyre anche Frankenstein verrà inserito in un altra categoria) Margaret Atwood: Il Racconto dell'Ancella (The Handmaid's Tale), L'altra Grace (Alias Grace). ok no mi devo fermare qui altrimenti non ne usciamo più lol
Vorrei creare una categoria a parte per i libri SUPER FAMOSI, tanto famosi da essere ritenuti quasi scontati, ma che comunque io considero davvero fondamentali e che nonostante tutto molti non leggono mai, tuttavia si avvalgono della conoscenza generale acquisita per vie traverse (cinema, shows ecc.) per aggiungerli ai libri che oramai hanno letto, metabolizzato e...fine. Si. Purtroppo è così. (questa frase non ha senso... ma ci siamo capit* dai...spero. lol)
- Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë), Little Women (Louisa May Alcott), Moby Dick (Herman Melville), To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee), Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë), Frankenstein (Mary Shelley), Les Misérables (Victor Hugo), Pride and Prejudice & Emma (Jane Austen), 1984 (George Orwell), Anna Karenina (Lev Tolstoj), The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath), The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald), Breakfast at Tiffany's (Truman Capote), The Age of Innocence (Edith Wharton), Dracula (Bram Stoker) e anche qui mi fermo altrimenti continuo a scrivere all'infinito ahhah
Altra categoria - Libri di scrittori di cui ho letto solo le opere che citerò, ma che ho profondamente amato e di certo leggerò di più molto presto (ma ce la faccio a scrivere una frase sensata? io non credo.)
- Auntie Mame (Patrick Dennis), Tony and Susan (Austin Wright), Girl, Interrupted (Susanna Kaysen), Far From the Madding Crowd (Thomas Hardy), White Oleander (Janet Fitch), Rest and Be Thankful (Emma Glass), Picnic at Hanging Rock (Joan Lindsay), Carmilla (Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu), Little Fires Everywhere (Celeste Ng)
SICURAMENTE dimentico qualcosa, ciò nonostante è diventata una risposta chilometrica.. mannaggia a me lol Per qualunque altra domanda sai dove trovarmi (e se vuoi risposte private basta specificarlo) 🤍

5 Criminally Underrated Alan Parker Movies You Need to See
https://ift.tt/3a5pCp0
A working-class Londoner who started out in advertising, Parker knew how to play to the crowd but wasn’t afraid to take risks or challenge convention.  
That was evident from his feature debut, Bugsy Malone, an inspired pastiche of Hollywood gangster films that saw Parker defy genre norms with the recruitment of an all-child cast wielding ‘Splurge’ guns firing whipped cream instead of bullets.  
It was a decision that drew anger in some quarters with noted critic John Simon famously branding the film “an outrage” in New York Magazine.  
“Wholesome youngsters have been duped into acting like adults,” he said, “stupid, brutal, criminal adults, at that.”  
Bugsy Malone flopped in the US but Parker soon established himself stateside with Midnight Express and Fame, two box office hits and examples of Parker’s unrivalled versatility and habit of defying expectations.  
In time, Bugsy Malone enjoyed critical reappraisal, emerging as a firm favourite with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.  
Over a varied and wide-ranging career, Parker is often remembered for crowd-pleasing efforts like The Commitments and Evita. 
However, arguably his most fascinating work came when he took risks – as these five films attest.
Shoot the Moon
After the success of Fame, Parker was brought back down to earth with this underappreciated family drama which bombed at the box office despite earning rave reviews from critics. 
Based on an early script from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest screenwriter Bo Goldman, Shoot the Moon centered on the crumbling marriage of George and Faith Dunlap and the impact their eventual separation has on their four children. 
Goldman had unsuccessfully, pitched the movie to several major studios for nearly a decade before Parker got involved.  
Together, they rewrote the script, drawing from personal experiences to depict the film’s deteriorating relationships and, crucially, recruited Albert Finney and Diane Keaton to star as George and Faith, respectively. 
Arriving at a time when films like Ordinary People and Kramer vs Kramer were bringing divorce and family dysfunction to multiplexes, Parker’s film unfairly ended up lost in the shuffle. 
It remains a powerful, if at times, deliberately difficult watch, bolstered by career-best turns from Finney and Keaton, whose emotionally raw performances earned them both Golden Globe nominations.  
Birdy
Adapted from William Wharton’s acclaimed novel of the same name, Birdy was one of the first films to address the horrors of Vietnam, pre-dating the likes of Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July. 
Matthew Modine stars as Birdy, a serial daydreamer left mentally shattered by Vietnam, who spends his days couped up in a mental hospital acting like a parakeet, visited daily by his wounded best friend Al (a young Nicolas Cage) who is determined to bring him back to reality.
Modine originally read for the role of Al by was convinced to take on the  role of Birdy by Parker who correctly identified a “”introverted honest quality” to the star that was essential to making the character, who remains monosyllabic for much of the film, an endearing protagonist.
Told out of chronological order through flashbacks, Parker’s film is a dizzying odyssey through a damaged mind, addressing themes of friendship, obsession and the impact of trauma.
The filmmaker deploys a bag of tricks to bring this unique tale to life – Birdy is notable for being the first film to utilise Skycam technology, a computer-controlled cable-suspended camera system used to capture the moment Birdy imagines taking flight.
The result is his most complex and rewarding film, one that won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury prize at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
Angel Heart
Like many of the surprise turns in Parker’s eclectic career, Angel Heart was greeted with mixed reviews and middling box office returns upon release in 1987. 
That perception changed in the years that followed, with many now regarding it as Parker’s best film and certainly Mickey Rourke’s best performance. 
Rourke is at his mesmerising best as Harry Angel, a 1950s private eye hired by Robert De Niro’s mysterious Louis Cyphre to track down a pop singer who owes a substantial debt. 
As Angel’s investigation continues, however,it becomes apparent that something sinister is afoot, with every possible witness or lead ending up the victim of bloody, ritualistic murder.

Movies
Revisiting Alan Parker’s Angel Heart
By Brogan Morris
Movies
Looking Back at Angel Heart
By Tony Sokol
Adapted from William Hjortsberg’s 1978 novel Falling Angel, Parker script saw the action move from the book’s original setting of New York to New Orleans.
That proved something of a masterstroke, imbuing the film’s already distinctive blend of film noir thriller and Satanic horror with a decaying Southern Gothic feel. 
Though a controversial sex scene involving pints and pints of blood feels a touch unnecessary when watching the film back, Angel Heart is near enough a masterpiece; a moody, psychological thriller that has influenced countless filmmakers, with Christopher Nolan one noted admirer.
Mississippi Burning
Parker made a habit of playing fast and loose with the facts when it came to adapting non-fiction. Midnight Express previously drew criticism for its portrayal ofvTurkish characters, as well as for deviating from survivor Billy Hayes’ real-life story. However, it remains an engaging piece of filmmaking. 
It’s a similar story with Mississippi Burning, which purports to be based on a real-life investigation into the killings of three civil rights activists in 1964 America but proved more fiction than fact and suffered at the hands of many critics as a result. 
Leaving aside the debates over the film’s authenticity, Mississippi Burning still succeeds in shining a light on a dark period in American history, albeit from a distinctly white perspective. 
It’s a vividly realised depiction of 1960s America, full of striking imagery that touches on issues of segregation in the south and the looming spectre of the Ku Klux Klan and its burning crosses. 
While Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe prove a magnetic duo as the film’s central pairing of older, more cynical, FBI agent and his younger, idealistic charge, the standout performance comes from Frances McDormand as the local deputy sheriff’s downtrodden housewife.
Come See the Paradise
Come See the Paradise divided critics upon release but is worth seeking out, at the very least for the fact it remains one of the only major studio movies to focus on the Japanese-American internment camps of the Second World War.
Dismissed by some as a sappy love story, Parker’s movie is more ambitious and complex than that; an interracial romance set against the backdrop of one of the most complex and ethically charged periods in American history.
A vividly-realised period piece, Dennis Quaid does solid work as Jack McGurn, the Irish-American projectionist who falls for his Japanese-American boss’s daughter only for them to end up separated in the ensuing conflict.
However, it’s the film’s other star-crossed lover, Tamlyn Tomita’s Lily, who proves most fascinating. Best known for The Karate Kid Part II at the time, Come See the Paradise had a personal edge for Tomita, whose father spent time in a real California internment camp.
Through Lily, Parker presents the stark human injustice faced by the interned,  people who not only lost civil liberties but also their sense of identity. It’s just a shame Tomita is not afforded nearly as much screen time as Quaid.

The Best Way Hispanic Radio Progresses to Transforming Reader
There simply has been a surge in Spanish language, said Dennis Wharton, executive vice president of business communications for the National Association of Broadcasters in Washington, D.C. "The growth in Hispanic has been exceptional."The juggernaut expansion of Spanish-language radio reflects in big component the mushrooming U.S. Hispanic population, currently approximated around 54 million, but it's likewise fuelled by a target market of devoted radio fans as well as a music-loving culture. According to 2014 numbers from Nielsen Audio, 93.1 percent of Hispanics pay attention to the radio each week, as contrasted to 91 percent of Americans overall (consisting of Hispanics). Latinos likewise listen more than the majority of various other demographic groups, listening approximately 12 as well as 43 mins weekly; just African-Americans leading Latinos in listening time, by 16 minutes, which has a tendency to be an older target market as contrasted to Hispanic radio listeners, that skew more youthful.
youtube
The peak time for Hispanics to tune rather than the early morning and afternoon drive general-market peak times. "With a lot of Latinos in service sectors, they're paying attention at work," stated Federico Subervi, a journalism teacher at Kent State University in Ohio who has actually researched Spanish-language radio. Latinos' love for songs is likewise apparent. They invest more on music - $135 each month, as contrasted to the standard of $105, according to Nielsen. That combination of elements has aided to nearly double the variety of Spanish-language stations just because the turn of the century. In 2001, the first year of Nielsen Audio's statistics, there were 600 Hispanic AM/FM electrical outlets; in 2014 there were 1,001. The trend in electronic radio has actually done the same: in 2010, Nielsen Audio reported 661 Hispanic HD and on-line streaming networks; in 2014, 820.
A bigger audience base is leading to much better high quality AM as well as FM frequencies switching to Spanish-language than in the past, when it was usually small AM stations that relay Hispanic styles, stated Frank Saxe, handling editor of InsideRadio, an industry trade journal. "As the economic climate enhances, much more broadcasters are willing to take the threat," Saxe claimed. Spanish-language broadcasters are additionally on the forefront of the digital radio fad. With Latinos' higher than average usage of mobile phones, Hispanic radio has actually welcomed electronic from simply calling for on-air talent to be energetic on preferred social media sites systems to making major financial investments in on-line strategies. Entravision Communications, one of the biggest Hispanic radio proprietors with 49 stations, in 2014 obtained Pulpo Media, an online advertising solution for Hispanic consumers, to ramp up its mobile and electronic advertising efforts, in an offer worth $18 million.
New York-based Sun Broadcast Group, which operates Sun Latino, the largest independent U.S. Hispanic connect with 283 affiliates, earlier this year authorized with Shazam, an app that allows listeners to key in to their smartphones for more details regarding a song having fun on the radio, to offer as part of its shows solution to terminals. Digital initiatives are especially a needs to for Spanish-language radio to remain pertinent to the expanding populace of English-dominant Hispanics, industry viewers say. Entravision, which is based in Santa Monica, Calif., will be introducing coverage of the 2016 presidential project in English on some of its program internet sites later on this year.
