Print Close [x] The Sacred Triangle: Bowie, Iggy & Lou 1971 – 1973 (DVD) December 2nd, 2010 10:25 am ET By John Moore , Philadelphia Punk Music Examiner David Bowie, Iggy pop, Lou Reed Photo: MVD Video Sacred Triangle: Bowie, Iggy & Lou 1971 – 1973 (DVD) Hard to believe, but 1971 was not a good year for Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and David Bowie, three of the most influential rockers to come out of that decade. The recently-released doc Sacred Triangle does a decent job of telling the story of how the trio of rockers nearly fizzled out at the beginning of the decade and how they managed to collaborate in various forms leading to great (and for Bowie, massive) success for all. In 1971/early 1972, Reed released a debut that was not exactly well-received and Pop was well on his way to helping create what would eventually become known as punk, but at the time it was just scaring the hell out of critics and the music-buying public. Bowie, meanwhile, was cramming psychedelic folk and glam into a mix that led to a couple of hits, but he was still skirting around the edges of “novelty hit has been” status thanks to “Space Oddity” and “The Man Who Sold the World”. Told through interviews by those close to the rockers at the time (Bowie’s ex-wife Angie, Jayne County and Andy Warhol’s Factory assistant Billy Name, among others) and fantastic old film footage, Sacred Triangle manages to capture the evolution of three of rocks most enduring players.

  • Jayne County Paranoia Paradise Curated by Michael Fox February 4 – March 11, 2018 Opening Reception, Sunday, February 4, 7-9Pm
    For Immediate Release contact [email protected], 646-492-4076 Jayne County Paranoia Paradise Curated by Michael Fox February 4 – March 11, 2018 Opening Reception, Sunday, February 4, 7-9pm I think that my art serves as a way of putting out the fuse before it becomes a ballistic bomb of some sort. Some people are at odds with the world and they become serial killers, and others become artists. –Jayne County From February 4 – March 11, 2018, PARTICIPANT INC is honored to present Jayne County, Paranoia Paradise, the first retrospective exhibition of County’s visual artwork, curated by Michael Fox. Although County’s artistic output began in experimental theater in the late 1960s-early ‘70s, including work with Theater of the Ridiculous and in Andy Warhol’s Pork, she is perhaps most well-known as a rock singer and performer. This exhibition takes its title from one of County’s songs, Paranoia Paradise, which she famously performed as the character of “Lounge Lizard” in Derek Jarman’s 1978 film, Jubilee. Selections of her earliest known paintings and works on paper made in the early ‘80s while living in Berlin will be exhibited alongside works made up until the present, with approximately eighty pieces on view from County’s studio as well as several private collections. A presentation of related ephemeral materials from County’s archive, as well as photographs by Bob Gruen, Leee Black Childers, and Michael Fox will accompany the exhibition and further illuminate her legendary contributions to music, film, performance, as well her role as forebear and gender pioneer as the first openly transgender rock performer.

  • CLOSE VIEW 2 – Punk Rock 25 Years Old Manuscript: Keith Foster Producer: Keith Foster Broadcasting Date: 9/10, 2002 Length: 15’
    Over to you 2002/2003 Close View 2 – Special Report Programnr: 02060/ra2 CLOSE VIEW 2 – Punk Rock 25 Years Old Manuscript: Keith Foster Producer: Keith Foster Broadcasting date: 9/10, 2002 Length: 15’ Music: Sex Pistols ”God Save the Queen” Keith Foster: Welcome to Close View! I’m Keith Foster. Ex-punk. This year in England the Queen has celebrated her golden jubilee – that’s fifty years on the throne… 25 years ago, in 1977, it was her Silver Jubilee, and people then had parties in the streets to celebrate. Then along came this band, the Sex Pistols, and spoilt the party. The song called the Queen a moron, and it made the Sex Pistols the most hated band in Britain - ever. Newspapers called for them to be put in prison, and in the end their record company sacked them. Twice. Suddenly, punk rock had made its mark. If you liked punk you liked loud music, an dance called the pogo, which meant just jumping up and down really, often on the person in front of you, and you put safety pins through your clothes, your ears, your nose, your cheeks, your…...well, anywhere. And you were angry. Very angry. Music mix: “Stranglehold” by UK Subs Oh Bondage Up Yours” by X-ray Spex “Anarchy in the UK” by Sex Pistols “Too drunk to fuck” by Dead Kennedys KF: You didn’t have to be very musical… Punk rock exploded in Britain in 1977. If you were a teenager almost everyone you knew picked up a guitar or a drum set and started to make a lot of noise.

  • On the 20Th Annual Chicago Underground Film Festival
    Free One+One Filmmakers Journal Issue 12: Trash, Exploitation and Cult Volume 2 Contents Where volume one focused on Exploitation cinema and the appropriation of its tropes in commercial and art cinema, this volume changes tact, exploring themes of film exhibition and the Carnivalesque. 04 39 The first two articles are dedicated to the former theme. In these articles James Riley White Walls and Empty Rooms: From Cult to Cabaret: and Amelia Ishmael explore the exhibition of underground cinema. From the film festi- A Short History of the Fleapit An Interview with Mink Stole val to the ad hoc DIY screening, these articles adventure into the sometimes forebod- James Riley Bradley Tuck and Melanie Mulholland ing landscape of film screenings. The following articles explore the topic of the carni- valesque, both as an expression of working class culture and queer excess. Frances Hatherley opens up this theme with an article on the TV show Shameless exploring the 12 Tyrell48 & Back demonisation of the working classes in Britain and mode of politicisation and defiance The Chicago Underground Film Festival Amelia Ishmael Susan Tyrell Obituary embedded in the TV show itself. Through Frances’ article, we discover in Shameless, Melanie Mulhullond not the somber working class of Mike Leigh or Ken Loach, but the trailer trash of John Waters. Appropriately, therefore, this articles is swiftly followed by a discussion between 24 James Marcus Tucker and Juliet Jacques on Rosa von Praunheim’s City of Lost Souls; Defensive Pleasures: Gerontophila51 a film that wallows in the carnivalesque decadence of queer life.

  • 1 Ervin Jarek 2017 PHD.Pdf
    ii © Copyright by Jarek Paul Ervin All Rights Reserved May 2017 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation takes a speculative cue from the reception of 1970s New York punk, which is typically treated as both rule – the symbolic site of origin – and exception – a protean moment before the crystallization of punk proper. For this reason, artists such as Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Blondie are today afforded the simultaneous status of originators, interlopers, innovators, and successors. This has led both to the genre’s canonicity in the music world and its general neglect within scholarship. I argue that punk ought to be understood less as a set of stylistic precepts (ones that could be originated and then developed), than as a set of philosophical claims about the character of rock music in the 1970s. Punk artists such as Patti Smith, Jayne County, and the Ramones developed an aesthetic theory through sound. This was an act of accounting, which foregrounded the role of historical memory and recast a mode of reflexive imagination as musical practice. At times mournful, at times optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation, punk was a restorative aesthetics, an attempt to forge a new path on memories of rock’s past. My first chapter looks at the relationship between early punk and rock music, its ostensible music parent. Through close readings of writing by important punk critics including Greil Marcus, Lester Bangs, and Ellen Willis – as well as analyses of songs by the Velvet Underground and Suicide – I argue that a historical materialist approach offers a new in-road to old debates about punk’s progressive/regressive musical character.

  • Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: an Annotated Bibliography and Discography
    Page 1 of 35 Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: An Annotated Bibliography and Discography. Compiled by Walt “Cat” Walker. Approved by the GLBTRT Resources Committee. Last revised January 12, 2017. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 I. General Nonfiction 3 II. Memoirs & Biographies 9 III. Fiction 32 IV. Drama 33 V. Children & Teens 34 VI. DVDs 35 Page 2 of 35 Introduction Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people have always participated in creating popular music. In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ people in the music world has increased, and more popular music has been created that openly describes the LGBTQ experience. There has also been an increase in books and films related to LGBTQ visibility in popular music, both in fiction and nonfiction. This bibliography includes resources about gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons involved in the popular music field. The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item. Most of this resource is comprised of a discography of popular music recordings by LGBTQ artists. It is not meant to be complete, but many recordings still available in CD format for each artist are listed, and several are annotated. Many of these performers’ songs can now also be found on streaming music services and online digital music websites.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Rupaul's Drag Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.
