  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

  • The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion
    57 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2008/05/the_good_news_of_identifying_b.html The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion As a pro-choice evangelical, I was saddened by the violentanti-choice (spun as “pro-life”) language of “an Evangelical Manifesto” on this culture-war issue: we on the other side are guilty of “assaults” on the unborn. The anti-choice position is political, aimed at legislation forbidding abortion. But the “On Faith” question emphasizes that this group of Evangelicals aims to “depoliticize the term ‘evangelical’”: Some Christian leaders issued “An Evangelical Manifesto” last week [May 7] to depoliticize the term ‘evangelical.’ “We Evangelicals are defined theologically, and not politically, socially or culturally,” they said. In your mind, what is the definition of an evangelical? 1.....I’m an evangelical theologically, but “not politically, socially or culturally.” In other words, I’m not an Evangelical (a capitalization the Manifesto insists on as descriptive of its position). The Manifesto’s subtitle sharpens the drafters’ identity and stance: “The Washington Declaration of Evangelical Identity and Public Commitment.” Their purpose is “to clarify the confusion” about the word “Evangelical” and “to explain where we stand on issues” involving “Evangelicals in public life.” 2.....Admirably, the Manifesto premises, we human beings must learn to live together with “religious differences” that are “ultimate and irreducible” – differences in “personal worldviews” and in “entire ways of

  • Nada Surf Til Norge – Feirer Platejubileum
    Foto: Bernie DeChant 16-11-2017 16:22 CET NADA SURF TIL NORGE – FEIRER PLATEJUBILEUM NADA SURF TIL NORGE FEIRER 15-ÅRSJUBILEUMET TIL "LET GO" Nada Surf solgte ut John Dee og leverte en særdeles minneverdig aften i fjor – nå kommer de tilbake til Norge for å gjenta suksessen med en helt spesiell konsertkveld! For 15 år siden, i 2002, slapp Nada Surf albumet "Let Go", en plate som har blitt en svært viktig del av bandets historie og som anses som albumet som hjalp gruppen å sparke nytt liv i karrieren etter å ha skilt veier med Elektra Records, plateselskapet som slapp debutalbumet deres "High/Low" i 1996. Nå legger Nada Surf ut på en stor turné for å feire "Let Go" sitt 15- årsjubileum. Platen inneholder klassikere som "Inside of Love", "Blonde on Blonde", "Hi Speed Soul" og "The Way You Wear Your Head", og ble hyllet av musikkpressen. Konsertene har fått navnet "An Evening With Nada Surf", og denne spesielle kvelden vil bandet først spille "Let Go" i sin helhet, for så å spille et sett til etter en kort pause. HØR "LET GO" PÅ SPOTIFY HER Nada Surf er i dag en kvartett bestående av frontmann og gitarist Matthew Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca, trommis Ira Elliot, og Doug Gillard på gitar. Etter syv studioalbum og intensiv turnering rundt hvert slipp, bestemte Nada Surf seg for å ta en velfortjent pause etter at albumet "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy" kom ut i 2012. Så, i januar 2015, når Caws informerte Nada Surf sin trofaste fanskare på Facebook om at neste album mer eller mindre var ferdiglaget, ble nyheten møtt med eksplosiv entusiasme fra fansen.
