  • Punk Rock Calvinists Who Hate the Modern Worship Movement": Ritual, Power, and White Masculinity in Mars Hill Church's Worship Music
    "Punk Rock Calvinists Who Hate the Modern Worship Movement": Ritual, Power, and White Masculinity in Mars Hill Church's Worship Music Maren Haynes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Shannon Dudley James K. Wellman Jr. José Antonio Lucero, GSR Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2017 Maren Haynes ii University of Washington Abstract "Punk Rock Calvinists Who Hate the Modern Worship Movement": Ritual, Power, and White Masculinity in Mars Hill Church's Worship Music Maren Haynes Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music This dissertation presents a critical case study of Mars Hill Church from its founding in 1998 through its closure in 2014 through the lens of the church's music ministry. Led by charismatic and controversial pastor Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill Church began as a small Bible study and grew into a fifteen-site megachurch across five states, largely drawing young adults between ages 18 and 35. Facing a cascade of scandals and accusations in 2014, Driscoll resigned as lead pastor and the church soon closed and dispersed. Tracing this bounded history through interviews with former members and musicians, archival print and web-based materials, published texts and books, and various participant-observation experiences at Mars Hill campuses before and during the collapse, I explore the multifaceted role of musicians as agents in perpetuating the iii church's youth culture orientation, precipitating church growth, centering and inculcating certain theologies, and patterning embodied worship experiences. I begin with an exploration of the history of Christian missions, detailing how 20th century European and American missionaries began to decouple Western cultural norms and practices from Christian orthodoxy, focusing instead on infusing Christian messages into indigenous cultural practices.

  • Wilco: Learning How To
    CHAPTER 3: "I Got Drunk and I Fell Down" (An excerpt) It was easy to read Jeff Tweedy. When he was among his friends, his emotions - like his songs at the time -- were up front, almost embarrassingly transparent. But within the complex emotional architecture of Uncle Tupelo, communication was not nearly so direct. Even though the trio were roommates who played in the same band, they shared little else. "Me and Jeff would joke to each other without Jay [Farrar] hearing: 'Hey, Mike, want to go and rap about our feelings tonight?' " [Mike] Heidorn says. The chill would sometimes spill over into the living-room rehearsals. "There was a lot of unspoken communication in the band," Heidorn says. "If Jay wanted us to learn a particular cover song, he wouldn't tell us, he'd just point the speakers out toward the kitchen and play the song on his stereo for a week. Or Jeff would sit around and play something on an acoustic guitar for a few days. It was more like we were absorbing the music rather than learning it. At practice, the buck always stopped with Jay. Me and Jeff would learn a song and we'd say, 'Let's try this.' Jeff would start the song on bass, I'd play the drums, and sometimes Jay would say, 'Give me the guitar, Jeff.' Or he wouldn't say anything, and we'd move on to the next song. So, Jay in that respect dictated what we did." But when Jay Farrar did commit to a piece of music, he did it with the zeal of a true believer.
