  • Radio Free Memphis: the WLYX Story Skyler Gambert 2013
    Radio Free Memphis: The WLYX Story Skyler Gambert 2013 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Faculty Advisor: Prof. John Bass This work is dedicated to everyone involved with radio at Rhodes from 1951 to today. Especially the volunteers at WLYX, you made it happen. When I came to Rhodes in the fall of 2010, I was extremely disappointed to find that there was no college radio station. Well, that’s not entirely true there was a small digital transmitter with a broadcast radius of about two blocks outside of campus. It could also be streamed online. I had a show that played cover versions and bootleg recordings that aired Friday nights around six. It was fun, but it wasn’t what I knew college radio to be. I grew up in the relatively rural town of Fayetteville, Arkansas. When I was growing up it is pretty hard to find to find a place that sold hardcore, new wave, or alternative records. Most of the live bands played in bars with a 21 and up policy. Luckily I had an uncle who had managed the University of Arkansas’ radio station, KXUA, when he was in college and he showed me where I could find the music I wanted to hear. Without KXUA, I never would have discovered artists like Guided by Voices, Bonnie Prince Billy, or Steve Lehman, music that I still love today. I probably never would have found hip-hop that I could get into without Eric Olsen’s (DJ Eyo) show “The Concrete Schoolyard.” DJs on the station also exposed me to folk music that I considered to be the stuff of museums and heritage festivals before I heard college aged students, whom I idolized, play it on the air.

  • Multi-Arts Festival, Mallorca Alternatilla Is Not Your Normal Festival Where The
    1 2009 multi-arts festival, mallorca Alternatilla is not your normal festival where the main focus is just one Discipline. Alternatilla is a festival covering many arts. In 2008 we dedicated our programme to the celebration of the female within the arts, this year we surrender ourselves to the central theme of LA LUZ (The Light), a concept that many of the artists had been working on when they made their original festival proposals to us. Xiloneón, a creation of Olaf Ladousse, is a neon installation at the centre of the exhibitions, which will be permanently lit throughout the two months of the festival, being the central focus of Alternatilla, the beacon that will guide us by its light to the epicenter of the festival. In the 2009 edition, the festival is like a prism that catches the light, converting into a rainbow of activities: art, theatre, photography, cinema, music, poetry, aphorism, workshops, conferences…… With the multidiscipline spirit and the consolidating of this cultural Mallorcan programme, we continue to expand our horizons and create new challenges. Alternatilla offers a rich and varied programme, and is aimed at everyone. Especially the restless and non-conformist, who will be both surprised and constantly curious. The festival also brings us to a space where everyone can take part, where you can talk, discuss, reflect, but in the end enjoy yourselves. In Alternatilla there is something for almost everyone: it is a cultural festival open to many diverse forms of artistic expression, bringing in many different disciplines and cultures and putting them on display in our very own shop window.

  • Alex Chilton
    Alex Chilton William Alexander "Alex" Chilton (December 28, 1950 – March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer, best known as the lead singer of the Box Tops and Big Star. Chilton's early commercial success in the 1960s as a teen vocalist for The Box Tops was never repeated in later years with Big Star and in his subsequent indie music solo career on small labels, but he drew an obsessive following among indie and alternative music musicians. He is frequently cited as a seminal influence by influential rock artists and bands, some of whose testimonials appeared in the 2012 documentary Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me. Chilton grew up in a musical family; his father, Sidney Chilton, was a jazz musician. A local band recruited the teenager in 1966 as their lead singer after learning of the popularity of his vocal performance at a talent show at Memphis' Central High School; this band was (Ronnie and) the Devilles, later renamed The Box Tops. The new group recorded with Chips Moman and producer/songwriter Dan Penn at American Sound Studio and Muscle Shoals' FAME Studios. As lead singer for The Box Tops, Chilton enjoyed at the age of 16 a number-one international hit, "The Letter". The Box Tops went on to have several other major chart hits, including "Neon Rainbow" (1967), "Cry Like a Baby" (1968), "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March" (1969), and "Soul Deep" (1969). Aside from the hits "The Letter", "Neon Rainbow", and "Soul Deep", all written by Wayne Carson Thompson, many of the group's songs were written by Penn, Moman, Spooner Oldham, and other top area songwriters, with Chilton occasionally contributing a song.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eGrove (Univ. of Mississippi) DOWN UNDER PUNKS AND DIXIE ROCK: REFLECTIONS ON MAKING THE DOCUMENTARY FILM CHINESE WHISPERS - SOUTHERN ROOTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN SWAMPY SOUND A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by GRETCHEN L. WOOD May 2018 Copyright Gretchen L. Wood 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This paper describes making the documentary film Chinese Whispers - Southern Roots in the Australian Swampy Sound through process stories and descriptive travelogue. The film depicts some ways in which the music of the American South influenced punk rock in Australia during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Through cultural immersion and participant observation, the filmmaker compares two seemingly disparate cultures to show some transnational currents that have carried this Southern cultural export to Australia’s music city. The filmmaker traveled to Melbourne, Australia to document Melbourne’s streetscapes and urban spaces where the music community gathers and collected video interviews with authorities in Australian punk including DIY entrepreneur and owner of Au Go Go Records Bruce Milne, Stranded author Clinton Walker, journalist Jo Roberts, and musicians Kim Salmon from the The Scientists and Spencer P. Jones, a founding member of the Beasts of Bourbon and The Johnnys. The most remarkable influences include the mid-1970s recordings by Memphis native Alex Chilton and covers of obscure rockabilly and rhythm and blues records by New York City psychobilly vanguards The Cramps.
