  • BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987
    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

  • Terpsichorean Architecture: Editor's Introduction
    Terpsichorean Architecture: Editor’s Introduction Tony Mitchell, University of Technology Sydney In Peter Hoeg’s celebrated novel Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow (1992), Greenland- born Smilla says of her extraordinary ability to decipher patterns and read tracks in snow: ‘Reading snow is like listening to music. To describe what you’ve read is to try and describe music in writing’ (2005:37). Later in the book, Andreas Fine Licht, a blind Professsor of Eskimo Languages and Cultures at the Danish Institute of Eskimology, deciphers a tape recording of a native Greenlander speaking in dialect about hunting. He is also able to hear and identify in the background on the tape the jazz music of trumpeter Roy Louber, formerly of the John Coltrane quartet, in a rare live concert performance in Thule in the late 1960s (2005:134). The experience of listening to, or hearing and identifying music may, in both cases, be a complex one, but writing about it comprehensively and memorably can be even more complex and fraught with difficulties. This selection of papers comes from a Symposium held at the University of Technology Sydeny (UTS) in September 2009. The title derives from a notorious quote—now a cliché—from Elvis Costello in an interview in the British Musician magazine in 1983: ‘Writing about music is like dancing about architecture—it’s a really stupid thing to want to do’ (White 1983). It has been attributed by various people at various times to Frank Zappa, Thelonious Monk, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne and numerous others, PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER It's Been More Than Thirty Years Since
    THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER It’s been more than thirty years since Tim Hauser worked as a marketing executive and New York cabby with dreams of creating a vocal group. One night in 1972, Hauser’s taxi fare was an aspiring singer named Laurel Massé, who was familiar with Jukin’, an album Hauser had made with an earlier Manhattan Transfer combo. A few weeks later Hauser met Janis Siegel at a party. Although Siegel was then performing with a folk group called Laurel Canyon, Hauser convinced her and Massé to be part of his nascent group. At the same time, Alan Paul was stirring hearts on Broadway, appearing in the original production of Grease. When he met with Hauser, Siegel, and Massé, the groundwork was laid for The Manhattan Transfer, which was officially “born” on October 1, 1972. Early on, the group developed a strong cult following, while playing such New York clubs as Trude Heller’s, Reno Sweeny, and Max’s Kansas City. In 1975 they released their self-titled album, and enjoyed early success in Europe. Their next two albums, Coming Out and Pastiche, brought them a string of top ten hits in Europe, and their overseas popularity was cemented with the release of The Manhattan Transfer Live. Massé then left the group in 1978 to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by Cheryl Bentyne, a young singer/actress from Mt. Vernon, Washington. Their next album, Extensions, earned them their first domestic pop hit, “Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone,” penned by Alan Paul and Jay Graydon. The album featured “Birdland,” the piece that has since become The Manhattan Transfer signature tune.
