    ot too long ago, I went to visit some relatives back in Radon, the Bassholes, or Teengenerate, during every spare moment of Alabama.

  • BUZZCOCKS Christmas 1976. Manchester Punk Pioneers
    BUZZCOCKS Christmas 1976. Manchester punk pioneers Buzzcocks formed by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley have recorded and are just about to have phenomenal success with the groundbreaking, Spiral Scratch EP. Two months later, as the release starts to take off, Howard Devoto leaves. A quick reshuffle and Pete Shelley takes over lead vocals. Over the years, the lineups change. Only Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle remain constant members of this iconic band. The methodology remains constant too: short, sharp slices of sublime guitar punk pop music, revered by a global army of fans and vitally influential to legions of bands coming up behind. Flash-forward to 2018. Buzzcocks have been throttling back a bit, being a bit more exclusive but still very busy. The band signs their catalogue to Domino Records and announce a landmark performance of “Singles Going Steady” at the Royal Albert Hall for June 2019 with The Skids and Penetration. It looks as if Buzzcocks are going to enjoy some well deserved and high profile recognition of their contribution to British culture. On 6th December, that bright prospect is thrown into darkness with Pete's tragic and unexpected death. The Albert Hall show is recast as a tribute to Pete Shelley with remaining members Steve Diggle, Chris Remington, and Danny Farrant, joined by original band members, 'special guest' vocalists and guitarists. For now and into the future Buzzcocks will continue with Steve on lead vocals/guitar, Chris Remington on Bass, and Danny Farrant on Drums with an added guitarist. Commitments will be honoured; you can't hold a good band down.

PUNK’S DIVISION OF LABOUR AA Dr Russ Bestley1 London College of Communication, United Kingdom Punk’s do-it-yourself call to arms led to a widespread adoption of the rhetoric, if not always the practice, of independence from traditional means of production. During the early period of punk’s development in the United Kingdom, a distinct division of labour can be seen in the impact of an ‘anyone can do it’ DIY ethos on a range of activities.2 hese range from live performance to the creation and manufacture of punk artifacts (clothes, posters, lyers, fanzines, records). While some of these areas ofered new opportunities for amateur producers, within more technical areas of manufacturing, including the physical production of records, do-it-yourself could only have a nominal impact. Many punk groups did not have access to sound recording technologies, and even of they did, they would have to hand over the cutting and pressing of vinyl to a professional outit.

  • Authenticity, Politics and Post-Punk in Thatcherite Britain
    ‘Better Decide Which Side You’re On’: Authenticity, Politics and Post-Punk in Thatcherite Britain Doctor of Philosophy (Music) 2014 Joseph O’Connell Joseph O’Connell Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I could not have completed this work without the support and encouragement of my supervisor: Dr Sarah Hill. Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.

  • Talento Sharona
    Talento Sharona THE KNACK: IL FENOMENO “SHARONA” THE KNACK, “IL TALENTO”: questo è il nome della band di Los Angeles capitanata da Doug Fieger (chitarra e voce) e Berton Averre (chitarra) che ha segnato il mondo della musica a partire dalla fine degli anni settanta! A completare il quartettoPrescott Niles (basso) e Bruce Gary (batteria). Una delle band meno prolifiche del panorama Rock, ma sicuramente tra le più incisive. Una sola canzone che ha reso THE KNACK immortali: My Sharona! Con questo capolavoro THE KNACK del compianto Fieger (Doug Fieger è morto nel 2010 all’età di 57 anni per un tumore cerebrale; n.d.a.) hanno scalato le vette delle classifiche di quasi tutti i paesi del mondo rimanendoci fino ai giorni nostri. My Sharona è infatti la canzone più ascoltata da intere generazioni. Sono disposto a sfidare chiunque abbia più di 12 anni a non conoscere questo simbolo del Rock targato anni settanta… ottanta, novanta, duemila, duemilaedieci e pure venti! Moltissimi sono i musicisti che hanno adorato le canzoni di Doug & Co. ed alcuni hanno continuato a suonare la cover di My Sharona nei loro concerti, ricordo solo questi mostri sacri del Rock: METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA e ci metto pure i TIMORIA dell’amico Omar Pedrini. THE KNACK sono stati spesso sottovalutati, nonostante abbiano prodotto pezzi di grandissimo valore come Good Girls Don’t e Baby Talks Dirty. Solo My Sharona però ha tributato al Combo californiano un successo strabiliante. Il riff iniziale è uno dei più celebri e riconoscibili del Rock, forse anche più famoso dell’intro di Smoke on the Water dei DEEP PURPLE.
