A cap on pay raises led to various strikes by trade unions during the so-called “Winter of Discontent” in 1978. Union strikes led to garbage festering in the streets, unburied dead, and caused food and power shortages. Many youth were out of work and angry. It was against this social context that Punk Rock was born.

Mídia, Texto Cultural E Objeto De Memória Rock Album Cover
Capa de disco de rock: mídia, texto cultural e objeto de memória Rock album cover: media, cultural text and object of memory Portada del disco de rock: medio de comunicación, texto cultural y objeto de memoria 636 Herom Vargas70 Resumo Neste artigo, pretendo refletir sobre três aspectos que caracterizam as capas de disco, em especial as do rock britânico e brasileiro entre final dos anos 1960 e início dos 1970: como mídia – em suas imagens e representações e na própria materialidade de objeto; como texto cultural – que articula dimensões semióticas em vários níveis; e como objeto de memória – por traduzir elementos do passado para o presente e seus respectivos processos comunicacionais. Por meio de tais aspectos, busco compreender essa embalagem, cuja função básica é a mediação entre artista, sua música, a gravadora e o ouvinte, sempre atravessado pelas marcas do consumo. Como bases teóricas, serão usadas a semiótica da cultura, a teoria das materialidades na comunicação e os estudos de memória. Palavras-chave capa de disco; rock; mídia; texto cultural; objeto de memória Abstract 7070 Universidade Metodista de São Paulo – UMESP, Brasil [email protected] In this article, I intend to reflect on three aspects that characterize album covers, especially those of British and Brazilian rock between the late 1960s and early 1970s: as media – in their images and representations and in the materiality of the object itself; as a cultural text – which articulates semiotic dimensions at various levels; and as object of memory – by translating elements from the past into the present and their respective communicational processes. Through such aspects, I 637 seek to understand this packaging, whose basic function is the mediation between artist, his music, the label and the listener, always crossed by the brands of consumption.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Book Proposal 3
Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

Peace Punks and Punks Against Racism: Resource Mobilization and Frame Construction in the Punk Movement
Music and Arts in Action | Volume 2 | Issue 1 PEACE PUNKS AND PUNKS AGAINST RACISM: RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND FRAME CONSTRUCTION IN THE PUNK MOVEMENT MIKE ROBERTS & RYAN MOORE Department of Sociology | San Diego State University | USA* Department of Sociology | Florida Atlantic University | USA ABSTRACT In recent years, scholars have begun to attend to the gap in our understanding of the relationship between music and social movements. One such example is Corte’s and Edwards’ “White Power Music and the Mobilization of Racist Social Movements.” Our research shares the perspective of Corte and Edwards (2008) which emphasizes the centrality of music to social movement organizations, especially in terms of resource mobilization, but rather than look at how punk music was used as an instrument by an external social movement like the White Power movement, we look at how punks themselves joined social movements and altered the dynamics of the movements they joined. We also provide examples of punk involvement in left wing social movements to emphasize the indeterminate nature of punk politics. We examine two such cases: the Rock Against Racism movement in the U.K., and the Peace movement in the U.S. In both cases, punks made use of their independent media as a means to provide an infrastructure for mobilization of resources to sustain the punks’ involvement in these social movements and the unique framing provided by punks, which altered the dynamic of the movements they joined. What makes punk an interesting case is that the “do-it-yourself” ethic of independent media construction that was at the centre of the punk movement made it possible for punks to make connections to various other social movements as well as alter the dynamics of those social movements.

Emotional Rescue This Was Not an Album Cover That People Loved. Fan
Emotional Rescue This was not an album cover that people loved. Fan reaction was typified by comments like, “this messy cover,” “It may have the single ugliest cover artwork of any record ever released by a major rock artist,” “I still hate the album cover,” “It's butt-ugly,” “I hate the cover,” “The cover is a big part of its poor reception.” “The sleeve was a big let-down after Some Girls, also the waste of time poster included,” “Yeah, I hated the cover…I like covers that show the band...like Black and Blue,” “I can't defend the thermal photography, or whatever it is, that adorns the cover of Emotional Rescue - was Mick on heroin when he signed off on this concept?” "Everyone to his own taste," the old woman said when she kissed her cow. It seems the Stones may have kissed a cow on this album cover. The Title You can always name it after a song on the album. That worked for Let It Bleed, It’s Only Rock and Roll and Some Girls. There were a lot of songs left over from the Some Girls sessions so this album began life with cynical working titles like Certain Women a clear play on the Some Girls title and More Fast Ones an obvious allusion to the pace of the contents. As the album began to take shape it took on the working title of Saturday Where The Boys Meet, a bit of a theme from the song “Where the Boys Go,” which appeared on the album.

The Narrative Potential of Album Covers
Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 2, No 2 (2015) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 The Narrative Potential of Album Covers Robert J. Belton Abstract In Popular Music Studies there appears to be a conceptual divide between the aesthetics of videos and those of album covers because the former move in time and the latter do not. One of the consequences of this separation is that music video studies tend to take inspiration from film and media studies whereas album cover studies tend to derive ideas and methods from art history. This paper asks if this isn’t a missed opportunity. It argues that album covers can and do exist in time, and it offers a type of analysis that shows how still and moving images both integrate with music to create a modal hybrid that is greater than simply the sum of their parts. One can, for example, profitably deploy narrative analysis to understand still images. Similarly, one can deploy art historical methods to assess music videos. There is a conceptual divide between the switching vertical recession to a horizontal aesthetics of album covers and those of videos plane 3. In contrast to mere depictions of objects because the latter move in time, while the and spatial relations, Lessing argued that poetry former do not. This paper argues that album necessarily exists in time as the result of the covers do exist in time, because they, too, are in consecutive presentation of elements.
