  • This Is Heavy Metal: Spinal Tap Und Ihre Beziehung Zur (Medialen) Realität Des Metals
    Herbert Schwaab This is Heavy Metal: Spinal Tap und ihre Beziehung zur (medialen) Realität des Metals In dem Videoclip zu dem Song Hell Hole, der als Extra auf der DVD der Mock-Rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (Rob Reiner, USA 1984) zu finden ist, gibt es neben wunderbaren Rekonstrukti- onen der Posen und Manierismen der Heavy Me- tal und der MTV Kultur ein eigenartiges Motiv in der Schlusssequenz: Zunächst sehen wir Bilder der Band Spinal Tap in einer Konzertsituation, in der typischen Inszenierung der etwas weniger einfallsreichen Musikvideos der 1980er Jahre. Abb. 1: Videostill Hell Hole, Die letzte Einstellung zeigt dieselbe Konzertsi- Spinal Tap in Miniatur tuation, diesmal allerdings als Miniaturnachbil- dungen der Band auf einer Puppenbühne. Zum Schlussakkord des Songs geht ein an deutlich sichtbaren Drähten aufgehängter Skelettarm über die Actionfiguren der Band, die Verstärker und Instrumente hinweg und zerstört die Szenerie. Dieses Video ist eines der vielen Details, aus dem sich das Universum der fik- tiven Band Spinal Tap speist, die seit ihrer filmischen ›Erfindung‹ ein erstaun- liches Nachleben führt. Zu diesem Universum gehört nicht nur der Film selbst, die darin zu findenden Rekonstruktionen der Bandbiografie (wie alte Aufnah- men von Fernsehshows aus den 1960er Jahren, fiktive, liebevoll gemachte Plat- tencover) oder das Bonusmaterial auf der DVD (wie Werbeclips,¯1 Videos und Talk-Show-Auftritte), das Soundtrackalbum im schwarzen Cover, sondern auch Konzerttourneen, das ›reguläre‹ Album Break Like The Wind von 1992, Auftritte bei den Simpsons¯2 und dem Live Earth Konzert von 2008, einer Vielzahl liebe- voll gemachter Merchandising-Produkte¯3 sowie etliche Auftritte der Schau- spieler ›in character‹ in weiteren Talk-Shows¯4 oder in Zeitschriften.¯5 Dieser Beitrag wird sich den Film und das Universum der fiktiven Band ge- nauer anschauen, um zu bestimmen, was er als Parodie von Heavy Metal über Heavy Metal zu sagen hat und welches Wissen über oder Bild von Heavy Metal dadurch entsteht.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.

APRIL 9,1992 Big wheel on campus Applications up from previous year by LISA CHMIELEWSKI Staff Writer Marist has received more than a five-percent increase in freshmen ap­ plications for the fall semester of 1992, according to a Board of Trustees Report. "We have 4,332 applications this year; up from last year's 4,110," said Vice President of Admissions and Enrollment Planning Harry Wood. Marist enrolled 904 freshmen last year, its largest class, despite a na­ tional decline in high-school graduates, a decrease in state and federal aid and proposed budget cuts. According to Michelle Erickson, director of admissions, Marist will only accept 830 freshmen this fall, to ensure students receive adequate housing and have smaller classes. Marist could lose $500,000 in Bundy Aid, state aid given to students, and another $500,000 in Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) funds, if Gov. Mario Cuomo's proposed budget cuts are passed. Because it is concerned about losing some aid monies, admissions is expanding private and corporate scholarships to create financial-aid packages for those students who need help paying college bills, said Erickson. "Marist is beating the competition by creating a competitive financial- aid package in order to attract future applicants," said Erickson.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur T 040-5149 1466/7 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] www.medienagentur-hh.de LEGENDARY SPINAL TAP BASSIST DEREK SMALLS RETURNS SMALLS CHANGE (MEDITATIONS UPON AGEING) OUT APRIL 13 ON TWANKY RECORDS/BMG ALL STAR LINEUP FEATURES DAVID CROSBY, DONALD FAGEN, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, PAUL SHAFFER AND MORE Photo credit Rob Shanahan Derek Smalls, the bass force formerly of the fabled heavy metal band formerly known as Spinal Tap, returns with the release of his first full length solo venture Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing), out globally April 13 via Twanky Records/BMG on digital, CD and vinyl. Additionally, Smalls launches his U.S. tour “Lukewarm Water Live: An Adventure in Loud Music” on April 14 in concert with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra at the Saenger Theater, New Orleans. Subsequent dates include June 29 in Atlanta at the Atlanta Symphony Hall with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and a special appearance with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC (additional details to be announced soon). Smalls Change is a poignant and oftentimes furious contemplation on aging that explores the passing of time and all things loud. With styles that cross the gamut of musical genres, the album possesses the edgy rawness and Rock God sensibility that was always shared by Derek and his fellow former band members, Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins. The album also features some of the greatest talents of rock and roll music and beyond including Donald Fagen, Dweezil Zappa, Rick Wakeman, Richard Thompson, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani, Waddy Wachtel, Michael League, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Paul Shaffer, Steve Vai, Larry Carlton, Judith Owen, Jane Lynch and The Hungarian Studio Orchestra.
