As she is from Liverpool, she had only experienced the “KOP” and Premiership football, so I wanted to show her what real football was like. We lost. We lost 4-0. We were lucky to get nil. The Swansea crowd shouted “Olé” every time Kidderminster passed the ball. It was embarrassing. “Is it always like this?” my wife asked. “No” I replied. I remembered watching Swansea go from the old fourth division to the first. I remembered beating Leeds United 5-1 in our first game. Just over seven years later and Swansea City beat Arsenal 3-2 in the Premiership. We are now called Swansealona! What happened? A Chairman decided that Swansea City would play football as it should be played. Managers may come and go, but they would stick with their beliefs and play. This took courage and strength of character. There was derision from other clubs and they were favourites to be relegated, but they stuck to their beliefs. As an Academy we strongly believe in teaching the right way. Education is not just about passing examinations. It is about developing the person for their future. Giving them the courage to take risks, the confidence to realise that they can cope with success or failure, the ability to recognise that we all have strengths and weaknesses and we all need support sometimes, and that the only thing stopping you achieving your ambition is yourself. It is not the easy way, and sometimes we will not get it perfectly correct, but it is the right way. We may get criticised. We may get told that we will not be successful. It does not matter. We will be successful and we will be recognised as being an establishment that students enjoy going to and one which allows them to develop their full potential. A Premier establishment for the people of Tamworth.

  • Death, Beauty, and Iconoclastic Nostalgia: Precarious Aesthetics and Lana Del Rey
    Death, beauty, and iconoclastic nostalgia: Precarious aesthetics and Lana Del Rey Arild Fetveit NECSUS ４ (２): １８７–２０７ DOI: １０.５１１７/NECSUS２０１５.２.FETV Abstract The obsolescence of analogue media along with a rapid succession of digital formats has sensitised us to the mortality of media. It has also spawned what Dominik Schrey has called ‘a golden age of nostalgia for these allegedly “dead media”’, now explored by visual artists, filmmakers, cinematographers, Do-It- Yourself enthusiasts, Polaroid fans, Instagram users, music video directors and others. Since the mid-1990s a partially-iconoclastic impulse focused on exploring the mortality of media materials has often taken the form of medium-specific noise. However, in recent years alternative strategies that counteract clarity, involving iconoclastic disruptions of the process of mediation, supported by a host of degrading techniques and strategies that thicken and foreground the medium and its materiality, have partially replaced uses of medium-specific noise. Cultural analysts awake to these and related developments have responded with a series of productive interventions. Drawing on many of these, I propose a media aesthetic approach where the disruptions in question are conceived as involving instances of precarious mediation to be examined within a precarious aesthetics. The music videos of Lana Del Rey effectively articulate ways in which precarious mediation is used in contemporary popular culture. In many of her music videos, like Summertime Sadness (2012) and Summer Wine (2013), the precarious mediation is given a nostalgic inflection, where an ambiguous yearning for the past is imbricated with cunning attempts to perfect imperfec- tion. This nostalgia appears iconoclastic on the level of mediation as well as in its yearning for the past greatness of America.

The rapid changes in technology and distribution channels are changing the way we discover and engage with content.
