  • Melissa Joan Hart
    radar: sketch comedy show. TLC—who wrote the theme song— performed in two of the first three episodes. The pilot aired nearly seven months before their breakout album, CrazySexyCool, was released, giving 12-year-old viewers a chance to hear a new band before they made it big. The first season of the show also featured live performances by fresh faces, including Brandy, Aaliyah, and Usher, who at the point was still going by his full name, Usher Raymond. “If you look at the 10 years [that All That was on air], it’s a who’s who of music,” says Dan Schneider, the show’s creator. Pete & Pete also made a habit of featuring musicians whom you wouldn’t expect to see on any TV show, let alone one marketed to grade schoolers. David Johansen played a police officer; Debbie Harry, a neighbor; Juliana Hatfield, a lunch lady; Kate Pierson (of the B-52s), a blind millionaire; PRIME TIME and Michael Stipe, an ice cream man. Iggy Pop was a series regular, playing the overprotective father of Nona, Michelle Trachtenberg’s character. In the same episode that featured Luscious Jackson, he took to the stage and sang to his melissa daughter, begging her to dance with him. It was a far cry from joan “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” but I’m convinced that moment was influential enough for me to spend the better part of my hart late teens fanatically collecting his albums. The series’ soundtrack was equally important, with Apples in Stereo and Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields, among others, contributing music to the show.

  • Advance Praise for Something to Believe In
    Advance praise for Something To Believe In ‘Andrew Stafford’sSomething To Believe In is quite an achievement. It’s all here: part tragicomic tale of a fanboy writer struggling to translate his primal affair with music into a “real” job; part exco- riating account of his ride from adolescence to adulthood and self-discovery; and part blossoming tale of love and forgiveness. Written with great humanity and girded by a soundtrack to die for – which he almost did on more than one occasion – this memoir is a punchy, unputdownable must-read.’ PETER GARRETT ‘A pulsing, rattling jukebox of a music memoir. Drop a coin, find your sound. Rock and punk and pop; the rock bottom and the very top. Love, family, sorrow, pain; the birds, the blues, the brain. A pull out your heart and feed it to anyone rock & roll sock to the core, Something To Believe In is a soaring, sweat-soaked tribute to life’s two great miracles: music and waking up each day to hear it.’ TRENT DALTON ‘Lyrical, wise and full of wonder. Andrew Stafford strips himself bare with courage, candour, and vulnerability.’ TRACEY SPICER ‘Andrew Stafford takes us on an exhilarating ride through his life as birdwatcher, cab driver, roadie, son, lover and writer. His astute and insightful observations on music and politics in Brisbane in particular from the late eighties provide a stunning backdrop to this personal expression of his life story.’ LINDY MORRISON ‘This beautifully written book reminded me of how much music helps us navigate through life, in all its complicated glory.’ MYF WARHURST Andrew Stafford is a freelance journalist and the author of Pig City: From The Saints To Savage Garden, a musical and political history of Brisbane first published in 2004.

    The State(s) They‘re In: Intersections of the Henriad, Hustler Narratives, And Alternative Music in Gus Van Sant‘s My Own Private Idaho James Newlin The State(s) They‘re In: Intersections of the Henriad, Hustler Narratives, and Alternative Music in Gus Van Sant‘s My Own Private Idaho By James Newlin “An inheritance,‖ Derrida writes in Specters of Marx, ―is always the reaffirmation of a debt, but a critical, selective, and filtering reaffirmation…‖ (114). Gus Van Sant‘s highly allusive film My Own Private Idaho marks itself as an heir to various histories and genres— including the genre the History, demonstrated by the film‘s oft-noted reworking of Shakespeare‘s Henriad—and in this paper, I investigate a similar ―critical, selective, and filtering reaffirmation‖ in the film, in order to interrogate Idaho‘s collage-effect and structure. I contend that the way Van Sant juxtaposes Shakespeare‘s History with his other sources—Orson Welles‘s earlier filmed version of the Henry Plays, Chimes at Midnight, hustler narratives, and, punk, folk, popular, and ―alternative‖ music—must be read as a thoroughly personal vision, constructed out of engagements with historically situated genres and texts that force Idaho‘s viewers to resist their expectations about those genres and texts. By defying genre, Van Sant challenges our notions of what makes an ―authentic‖ Shakespeare adaptation, hustler narrative, or punk song; he produces something that goes beyond ―authentic,‖ and becomes something fantastical. Consider one blind spot found in some earlier analyses of My Own Private Idaho: i.e. the ―gritty, realistic‖ reading of the film.
