So, the theme of this issue is BEAST. Beast as in: an animal other than human, the wild side of the animal. Bête: personne dominée par ses instincts. I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Jane Siberry a few months ago when she performed in Mon- tréal. What I discovered after my time with Siberry is that we could all learn a thing or two from tapping into our inner beasts, which, while unruly at times, think and act for themselves.

Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

    YOURfLESh Magazine :: Film/DVD/Video Review http://www.yourfleshmag.com/artman/publish/article_1368.shtml May 11, 2009 | Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page | IGGY POP Lust for Life DVD ABC Entertainment, 2009 Nothing like a 1986 German documentary to cast Iggy in a new, dim, light. I was as big a fan as there ever was, knowing well that the Stooges were the best rock and roll band that ever existed. That is indisputable in these ears. But Iggy’s post-Stooges career has been one bad scene after another, and the footage from 1986 on this shows a true Stooge, unflatteringly arrogant and sadly benign. It conjures up that footage of the fake Stooges trying to make it through an uninspired tune on the set of Henry Rollins’ bad TV show on IFC (which was just awful and made worse by Rollins’ fawning, lapdog suck-up during the interview segment). No, watching the Lust for Life DVD forces one to recall the plainly poor music Iggy has tried to pass off over the years. Candy , Blah Blah Blah , New Values , Soldier . All bad, bad music. There has been the good post-Stooges as well, of course; The Idiot , Lust for Life , American Caesar , even Naughty Little Doggie . But the naked exposure of his 80s period shows just how much Iggy would grovel for acceptance. While he finally has received the attention that he deserved during those Stooges days, there is much he should be taken down for in his bid for stardom. The most compelling footage in Lust for Life is of Ron Asheton in his house on Ann Arbor’s West side, talking earnestly about playing in the band that he lived for.

But no one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon start plaguing Centerville: The Dead Don't Die — they rise from their graves and savagely attack and feast on the living, and the citizens of the town must battle for their survival.
