Six years in a row in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, the Grammy for “Record of the Year” went to Wrecking Crew recordings. And now, THE WRECKING CREW tells the story in pictures and that oh, so glorious sound. The favorite songs of a generation are all here, presented by the people who made them for you. THE WRECKING CREW is a documentary film produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of legendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The film tells the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging melody that drove many of the number one hits of the 1960’s.

  • Were-Waitsing: Gothic Elements in the Musical Imagery of Tom Waits
    MASARYK UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF EDUCATION Department of English Language and Literature Were-Waitsing: Gothic Elements in the Musical Imagery of Tom Waits Master’s Thesis Brno 2019 Supervisor: Author: Mgr. Pavla Buchtová Bc. Jakub Jiaxis Svoboda Abstract This thesis focuses on the musical imagery in the songs of American singer- songwriter Tom Waits, with special attention paid to Gothic elements in Waits’ music, as well as in his on and off-stage presence. As Waits himself eludes critical efforts to be labelled – his art and music is described in an array of genres as wide as blues, jazz, vaudeville, industrial and experimental – this thesis undertakes to present him as a Gothic artist, a view which has so far been academically neglected. The thesis analyses two key notions of the gothic genre, as portrayed and manifested by the artist, primarily the wound-healing duality and the notion of shape-shifting as a form of code-switching between personas and genres, thus showing that for Waits the Gothic is a medium through which he can confront the intact American discourse with the disfigured, peripheral socio-cultural domains. Key words Tom Waits, American Gothic, Southern Gothic, wound, healing, shape-shifting, liminality 2 Anotace Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na obraznost v tvorbě amerického písničkáře Toma Waitse, se zvláštním ohledem na gotické motivy ve Waitsově hudbě, stejně jako na umělcovu sebeprezentaci na pódiu a mimo něj. Waits samotný uniká snahám o škatulkování – jeho tvorba spadá často do širokého spektra žánrů jako je blues, jazz, vaudeville, industrialní či experimentální hudba – tato práce jej však představuje jako gotického umělce, tedy z pohledu který byl v rámci akademického diskurzu opomíjen.

Studien framförde information om att albumsgrafik var relevant. Först sades det att en nedåtgående trend gick att anta, eftersom den digitala musikbranschen tog över från den fysiska. Men det visade sig därefter vara precis lika stor försäljning på de fysiska albumen som de digitala. För att besvara målen i studien utfördes en visuell innehållsanalys och informationssökning på internet. Studiens syfte var att visuellt granska rockalbum från tre olika ursprungsländer, som var Sverige, Storbritannien och USA. Genom analysen kategoriserades designelement, teman och framtogs landstypiska albumomslag. Studien berörde även vem som styr designen av ett omslag samt ifall det kunde ses någon tongivande designer bland de album som ingick i analysen. I slutsatsen framgick det att Storbritannien och USA hade mycket lika grafiskt manér och att omslag från Sverige såg annorlunda ut.

  • The Racial Life of Things by Christina Bush a Dissertation Submitted In
    The Racial Life of Things By Christina Bush A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Brandi Catanese, Chair Professor Ula Taylor Professor Juana Rodríguez Fall 2017 Abstract The Racial Life of Things by Christina Bush Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Brandi Catanese, Chair The Racial Life of Things is a cultural biography of the racialization of the sneaker. This project identifies the emergence of Michael Jordan, his 1984 partnership with Nike, and the eventual ban of his first signature shoe by the National Basketball Association as inaugurating a critical shift in the polysemous nature and cultural position of sneakers within the United States (and globally). Drawing upon the work of performance studies and thing theory, this work offers the concept of “the racial life of things” to examine how and why sneakers, arguably, more than any other consumer object, have become deeply and inextricably linked to blackness and masculinity. Moreover, this project contends that sneakers work both, in tandem with, and in the absence of, corporeal bodies, to do the work of making gender and race “real.” Using discourse analysis, semiotics, fashion and performance theory, The Racial Life of Things traverses a diverse set of cultural artifacts––corporate endorsements and advertisements, popular news media images and discourse, and consumer narratives–– and proffers that everyday cultural objects like sneakers can work to reveal the opacities and slippages between subjecthood and objecthood and offer productive modes for understanding race and gender, specifically black masculinities, more broadly.

  • Chapter 19 Music Video's Second Aesthetic? Carol Vernallis How Different Is a Lady Gaga Video from One by a Flock of Seagulls?
    1 Chapter 19 Music Video’s Second Aesthetic? Carol Vernallis How different is a Lady Gaga video from one by A Flock of Seagulls? MTV’s first broadcast was thirty years ago. Music video has since undergone shifts in technologies, platforms, periods of intense cross-pollination with other media, financial booms and busts, and changing levels of audience engagement. While music videos hit a low point in the 00s as budgets dried up, they have reemerged as a key driver of popular culture.1 Music video’s moment of resurgence resembles MTV’s first moment: there seems to be a question of what music video can do and where it fits. What does it mean to look back on this thirty-year history? A comparison of the beginnings and the present might show vast differences in performance style, formal conceits, editing, depictions of space, the showcasing of new technologies—or it might not. Might we track the changes from 1979 to 2012? Should we follow the arrivals of new technologies or the migrations to new venues and platforms—from low-res video production in the eighties, to high- gloss 35 millimeter in the nineties, to flexible digital technologies in the 2000’s; from BET, MTV and late-night TV to YouTube, Vimeo and Vevo? We might instead follow the cycles of maturation (in genres like rap and metal), or auteurs’ interests and influence and the ways 1 Music video is financially viable again as directors and musicians embed product placement in clips, and YouTube clips link directly to the industry-driven site VEVO.

The band currently consist s of its three longest-tenured members - Tony Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherf ord (bass, guitar) were founding members and Phil Collins (vocals, drums) first joined in 1970. Past members Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute), Steve Hackett (guita r) and Anthony Phillips (guitar), also played major roles in the band in its ear ly years. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time, with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide.1 In the late 1960s, with the release of their first album, Genesis's music was in itially regarded by the band and the fans as a pop experiment, referring to then -popular melodic pop.2 Then, over the course of a year, (beginning with their se cond album in mid-1970) they quickly evolved into a progressive rock band with t he incorporation of complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation. Their concerts became theatrical experiences with innovative stage design, pyrotechni cs, extravagant costumes and on-stage stories. This second phase was characteris ed by lengthy performances such as the 23 minute "Supper's Ready" and the 1974 c oncept album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. In the late 70's and early 80's th e band's musical direction changed once again, becoming more pop oriented and co mmercially accessible.
