When it started, it wasn't a spectacularly written show, but it felt like it dealt with characters who hadn't been on television before—materially poor but culturally privileged 20-somethings who combined a near-relentless pursuit of hedonism with lofty ambitions of glamorous careers, which they had no intention of doing.
That's the uniting principle between all the disparate sounds that he's made over the years as Hieroglyphic Being, I.B.M., and a host of other monikers—that electronic music can be more than a functionalist accompaniment for late-night hedonism or a soundtrack for youth-culture minded marketers to sell cars or whatever.
Drake would represent the rapper in this new, pure state: He's sincere, tender, sensitive, knows how to sing, wears his heart on his sleeve, but he's also someone who's endowed with a duplicity that causes him to wallow in the most exaggerated sort of hedonism while simultaneously being distressed by the same movement.

Meandering behind Mr. Bowers as he shares faded photographs of extravagantly endowed young men and prurient factoids about his famous "tricks" — cheekily illustrated with scenes from classic movies that read rather differently in hindsight — Mr. Tyrnauer surreptitiously hoses away the layers of dirt to reveal the fragility of his subject's anything-goes hedonism.
This was the period when Scully's paintings pushed forward his many early attempts to retain a vivid and exaggerated dynamic edge, when his coy and brilliant hedonism found its écriture, and when earthy bands of color became wider and more expressive as if to protrude into a deeper tonality through his pulsating, gestural applications.
Exploring how and why illegal raves are more vital than ever to a landscape in which hedonism is becoming more and more restricted, Locked Off takes us deep into Welsh woods and the most eastern reaches of London to seek out the forests and warehouses which are offering the nation's youth a viable alternative.
It is the image of him — and the shiny, if dated, Hugh Hefner-style hedonism he apparently represents — Mr. Ford has been peddling so adroitly since forming his own label, one whose profits are substantially driven not by costly apparel but by high-margin offerings like fragrance, eyewear and, as of Tuesday, watches and underwear.
In the 1960s, as the advent of the birth control pill helped usher in the era of "free love," the public pressured the Pocono Mountain resorts to open their doors to non-married couples, which transformed them into spaces that were more synonymous with hedonism and pleasure, and less with traditional American family values.

Clearly, it's important––nay, vital––for Simmons to trademark the gesture so pretenders such as Pope Francis and American Sign Language can't misappropriate and distort an image that Gene Simmons spent nearly five decades toiling to associate with his image of unchecked capitalistic hedonism and now wishes to use for the purpose of secret public communications.

Similarly After Hours, with its single-minded dedication to making hedonism seem as both dramatic and fun as humanly possible, became one of my few respites during an otherwise miserable spring when I was living in a cramped, windowless room in Brooklyn, floundering at an internship and questioning exactly what the fuck I was doing with my life.
That, more or less, is the point of view of a lone, presumably heterosexual man when he arrives as an uninvited guest at the all-gay party of hedonism and hatred that is Mart Crowley's epochal 1968 drama "The Boys in the Band," which opened on Thursday night in a starry but disconnected revival at the Booth Theater.

Menswear has always had to contend with a certain squeamishness about fashion among many of its customers; with exceptions like the dandyism of the 1960s, the American Gigolo/Miami Vice hedonism of the 1980s, and Mad Men's retro-fueled tie- and lapel-thinning, vanilla heteronormative masculinity tends not to acknowledge that aesthetics are enough of a reason to buy clothes.
That's essentially the spirit of the mix he's made for us, 54 minutes of keyed-up tracks that'd all fly under the loose banner of trap—there's colorful bangers from Xan, Rae Sremmurd, requisite tracks from Future and just about every other rapper that matters—each of which centers on his affinity for sternum-shattering 808s and fuck-it-all hedonism.
There aren't any decent pictures of the mysterious underground piano bar of Glastonbury – a chaotic Irish speakeasy which you must both bribe, lie, betray and then crawl on your knees just to get in – so here is the video for Jamiroquai's "Deeper Underground" to get you in the mood for some subterranean hedonism, and also to remind you how far CGI has come.
Given that life has moved on since 2002, I wanted to find out whether the original fans of The Streets have changed too; if the backstreet brawlers and corner shop crawlers have ashed the once burning light of hedonism and resigned it to the past; and if, like me, they have distinct and formative memories of listening to Original Pirate Material.
Anyway, on July 24, there's a big update coming involving one of the series' mythic figures Gay Tony and a nightclub he runs, which wouldn't be all that notable for us—we are a music blog—save for the fact that they've mo-capped some real DJs to play sets and tell stories in their world of violence and hedonism, yay.
Hedonism sells most of their vintage booze online and ships quickly to the U.S., which means I'll be buying a few bottles to give as house party presents this year — a much more sophisticated (and probably more welcome) gift than my usual offering of an inflatable 5-foot zebra, dachshund or reindeer from the Balloon Saloon in New York. hedonism.co.uk.
He wrote songs for sad machines, but somehow the music still resonated on a level that allowed him to play big festivals slots, nestling him uncomfortably onstage in front of tens of thousands of people who—young and dumb and (occasionally) full of drugs—maybe didn't pick up on the nuances that separated his swooning emotion from Borgore's bass-dropping hedonism.
Last year's one unabashed triumph, A Tribe Called Quest's monumental comeback We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service, was so bright and clear-eyed, so joyous and inspirational, and such a spacey, bubbly slice of ear candy that it towered above everything else, making even decent exercises in hedonism by Travis Scott and Danny Brown sound rather limited.
There are countless other permutations and contexts you might have seen Eartheater perform in the past few years: accompanied only by a computer at an abstract rap show in an art gallery, on a banjo—if memory serves—opening for a beloved indie rock songwriter, as the sole live performer on a night nominally geared toward soundtracking New Year's Eve hedonism for experimentally minded club kids.
Although the hedonism tends more generalized on "Housequake" and "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night" and "Play in the Sunshine" ("Before my life is done someway somehow I'm gonna have fun" could be Prince's manifesto), elsewhere he either has sex in some form or another or broods about it, which goes along with the dance music and lends his spiritual yearnings a concrete outlet.

" ---- Pray that you don't win the billion-dollar lottery By Kate Maltby "It's sad but true: The best answer given to a fantasy wealth questionnaire in popular culture isn't the hedonism of 'Heathers,' but the vow of Ross Geller in 'Friends' as he snatches a lottery ticket from his friends in season 9: 'I'm going to put it all into a very low-yield bond!
This quasi-hallucinatory, disco inferno-ish climax is multi-layered and ambiguous enough to accommodate multiple interpretations; it's a mother's worst nightmare, a vision of the contemporary world coming apart while the oblivious masses treat it as the ultimate party, a view of primitive hedonism trumping educated civilization, the destructive mob prevailing over the constructive individual, all perhaps an intuitive sign of the times as envisioned by Aronofsky.
Michael, the Jew in search of a way to accommodate his values and his hedonism; Hope, his conservative, judgmental stay-at-home wife; goofy Elliot, Michael's philandering business partner; insecure Nancy, Elliot's long-suffering, squelched artist of a wife; ambitious, insecure, unmarried Ellyn; desperate Melissa, Michael's photographer cousin who delivers every joke about her therapist tinged in borscht belt; idealistic hippie Gary, Michael's friend from college, played by a Nordic wolf.
