He played me Angel Face a couple of times in no records), losing singers and drummers at a “The Last Time” and I was hooked. I went to see M Spinal Tap pace. Still, they were a pretty unique them at the Olympia theater. Outside, there were the pages of Ugly Things.

It was almost too much to live up to, but the dream, the aspiration, was everything. It was as Suicide were singing: It’s all you got you know, your dreams. Keep them burning ? forever. Yes, in 1981, people like Ian Penman, Paul Morley, and Robert Elms were writing about new torch songs on a par with Cry Me A River and Fever. But people like Alan Vega and August Darnell were making dreams come true with these new torch songs. And it would not have mattered if no one was listening or nobody danc- ing. -

It was by the Disco Dub Band; on the Movers label; an extreme reworking of the O’Jays’ For The Love of Money. Ar- ranged and produced by journalist Davitt Sigerson, it featured steals of James Brown gui- tar motifs, free jazz traces, and stripped down, dubbed out disco. Its reverberations would be felt for many years. Five years on, consciously or not, it could certainly be felt haunting the dancehall that was home to ZE’s Mutant Disco revolution. ZE by that time was ready to burst overground in a riot of colour. A perverse over-the-top Hollywood musical spectacular to complement the grainier, underground pop that could equate to the black and white French new wave films of tortured New York noir novels. -

Once again the heat was initiated in NYC, even though its Lower East Side epicenter « cleaned up » by Giuliani and Bloomberg, has moved a few blocks east and across the river to Brooklyn and Williamsburg. It might be wise to remind the younger ones among us that the origins of this new musical cycle is for the most part rooted in the NO WAVE movement of which James Siegfried aka James White, aka James Chance is undoubtedly one of its most prominent figures. New York City was hands down the artistic telluric center of the second half of the 20th century, especially from the 70’s, on. Rising from the ashes of the Velvet Un- derground, a slew of local bands redefined the aesthetics of rock’n’roll which the merchants of the temple hastened to rename under various designations, such as Punk, New Wave, No Wave, Jazz-Funk or even Disco and Disco- Punk without forgetting to mention the original Electro designation pioneered by the band Suicide. One of the indispensable and emblematic figures of the mid-70’s is of course James Chance. James Siegfried, born in Milwaukee in 1953, began his musical journey on the piano at the age of seven. -

Zboray, Department of Communication ii Copyright © by Carleton S. Gholz 2011 iii “WHERE THE MIX IS PERFECT”: VOICES FROM THE POST-MOTOWN SOUNDSCAPE Carleton S. Gholz, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 In recent years, the city of Detroit’s economic struggles, including its cultural expressions, have become focal points for discussing the health of the American dream. However, this discussion has rarely strayed from the use of hackneyed factory metaphors, worn-out success-and-failure stories, and an ever-narrowing cast of characters. The result is that the common sense understanding of Detroit’s musical and cultural legacy tends to end in 1972 with the departure of Motown Records from the city to Los Angeles, if not even earlier in the aftermath of the riot / uprising of 1967. In “‘Where The Mix Is Perfect’: Voices From The Post-Motown Soundscape,” I provide an oral history of Detroit’s post-Motown aural history and in the process make available a new urban imaginary for judging the city’s wellbeing. -

ii © Copyright by Jarek Paul Ervin All Rights Reserved May 2017 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation takes a speculative cue from the reception of 1970s New York punk, which is typically treated as both rule – the symbolic site of origin – and exception – a protean moment before the crystallization of punk proper. For this reason, artists such as Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Blondie are today afforded the simultaneous status of originators, interlopers, innovators, and successors. This has led both to the genre’s canonicity in the music world and its general neglect within scholarship. I argue that punk ought to be understood less as a set of stylistic precepts (ones that could be originated and then developed), than as a set of philosophical claims about the character of rock music in the 1970s. Punk artists such as Patti Smith, Jayne County, and the Ramones developed an aesthetic theory through sound. This was an act of accounting, which foregrounded the role of historical memory and recast a mode of reflexive imagination as musical practice. At times mournful, at times optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation, punk was a restorative aesthetics, an attempt to forge a new path on memories of rock’s past. My first chapter looks at the relationship between early punk and rock music, its ostensible music parent. Through close readings of writing by important punk critics including Greil Marcus, Lester Bangs, and Ellen Willis – as well as analyses of songs by the Velvet Underground and Suicide – I argue that a historical materialist approach offers a new in-road to old debates about punk’s progressive/regressive musical character. -

Nos Années Pop ? Ou pour les beaux yeux de Pascale Ogier ! « Le rock français, c’est comme le vin anglais » disait ironiquement John Lennon. Les années 77 à 87 en France sont-elles symboliques de nos illusions perdues ? Charnières entre l’ère de la droite hautaine, au pouvoir depuis plusieurs générations, représentée par Valérie Giscard d’Estaing et celle de la gauche machiavélique incarnée par François Mitterrand. L’éphémère « révolution » de 68 avait finalement envoyé le vieux général de Gaule à la retraite, voire au cimetière. Celui même qui, en son temps, avait appris à nos pères à résister et avait permis à André Malraux de créer le Ministère de la Culture. Mais malgré l’utopiste printemps, l’après 68 devait accoucher d’un sursaut « républicain » en le personne de son premier ministre Georges Pompidou dont l’un des mérites est d’avoir gratifié Paris d’un nouveau musée d’art moderne portant son nom et justement inauguré en 77. Entre 1974 et 1975, de l’autre côté de l’atlantique à New York, une petite demi douzaine de groupes : Patti Smith, Television, The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Hearbreakers et Blondie, va donner un sévère coup de vieux au Rock’n’roll ambiant. Le top des albums dans le Billboard US est alors squatté par John Denver, Elton John, The Captain & Tennille et autres Eagles.... qui à part Elton John et « Hotel California », n’ont pas enthousiasmé le public Français ! New York va donc amener un souffle nouveau sur une industrie du disque qui ronronne tranquillement. La traînée de poudre va se propager en Angleterre grâce à Malcom McLaren, qui manager des New York Dolls en 1974 ne parviendra pas à sauver le groupe coincé entre deux générations. -

www.zerecords.com UNDERCOVER Adapting someone else’s composition is a heady challenge and an almost obli- gatory step in an artist’s career but one which is not without risk in certain cases. The stimulation may come from a sort of gauntlet of style being thrown down or from the great pleasure of reworking, reviewing a work that one has loved. Whatever the trigger, adaptation is always a test of an artist’s taste and the limits of his or her creativity and talent even. Certain new versions become even more famous than their originals, pushing the initial artist into obscurity. A recent example of this is the adaptation of Torn by NATALIE IMBRUGLIA which immediately became an international hit. But who remembers the original ver- sion by EDNASWAP on their “Wacko Magneto” album? Covering is often an opportunity to play with the style of a composition, which proves that the original was a good song and that with the injection of different talent, it can be adapted to any given style. A famous example of this is the exceptional adventure of « My Way ». It was written by French man Jacques Revaux under the title « For Me », it was then presented to Claude François who adapted it with Gilles Thibaut to produce « Comme d’Habitude ». The song was relatively successful in France in 1967 but then PAUL ANKA heard it and adapted it into English two years later under the title of « My Way ». He offered the song to « THE VOICE », Mister FRANK SINATRA himself. This was the start of the song’s fabulous international career. -
