Først av alt vil jeg takke min veileder, Stan Hawkins, for gode innspill og råd. Jeg vil også takke ham for å svare på alle mine dumme (og mindre dumme) spørsmål til alle døgnets tider. Spesielt i den siste hektiske perioden har han vist stor overbærenhet med meg, og jeg har mottatt hurtige svar selv sene fredagskvelder! Jeg skulle selvfølgelig ha takket Tom Waits personlig, men jeg satser på at han leser dette på sin ranch i «Nowhere, California». Han har levert et materiale som det har vært utrolig morsomt og givende å arbeide med. Videre vil jeg takke samboeren min og mine to stadig større barn. De har latt meg sitte nede i kjellerkontoret mitt helg etter helg, og all arbeidsroen jeg har hatt kan jeg takke dem for. Jeg lover dyrt og hellig å gjengjelde tjenesten. Min mor viste meg for noen år siden at det faktisk var mulig å fullføre en masteroppgave, selv ved siden av en krevende fulltidsjobb og et hektisk familieliv. Det har gitt meg troen på prosjektet, selv om det til tider var slitsomt. Til sist vil jeg takke min far, som gikk bort knappe fire måneder før denne oppgaven ble levert. Han var alltid opptatt av at mine brødre og jeg skulle ha stor frihet til å forfølge våre interesser, og han skal ha mye av æren for at han til slutt endte opp med tre sønner som alle valgte musikk som sin studieretning.

  • Women Sing Waits Featuring Acclaimed Artists Celebrating the Songs of Tom Waits to Be Released by Dualtone Music on November 22Nd
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 2019 COME ON UP TO THE HOUSE: WOMEN SING WAITS FEATURING ACCLAIMED ARTISTS CELEBRATING THE SONGS OF TOM WAITS TO BE RELEASED BY DUALTONE MUSIC ON NOVEMBER 22ND ALBUM INCLUDES AIMEE MANN, PATTY GRIFFIN, JOSEPH, ROSANNE CASH, PHOEBE BRIDGERS, ANGIE MCMAHON, SHELBY LYNNE & ALLISON MOORER PATTY GRIFFIN’S STUNNING “RUBY’S ARMS” AND COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS’ GORGEOUS “DOWNTOWN TRAIN” RELEASED LISTEN HERE Nashville, TN – On November 22nd, Dualtone Music Group will celebrate the music of Tom Waits with the release of Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits. This special collection features new renditions of Tom Waits’ classic songs, and some under- the-radar favorites, sung by an acclaimed group of remarkable artists. Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits was produced by artist, author, composer and lifelong Waits fan Warren Zanes, who also wrote the insightful and personal liner notes essay, which you can read HERE. The inherent beauty of Waits’ songwriting is brought to the forefront by these voices, each in their own special way. Portland trio Joseph offers a solemn take on “Come On Up To The House” followed by Aimee Mann’s warm, affecting version of “Hold On”. Phoebe Bridgers’ tenderness cuts deep on the heartbreaking “Georgia Lee”. Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer’s sibling harmonies shine brightly on “Ol’ 55”. Rosanne Cash elevates the poignant “Time” to new heights, while Iris Dement’s gentle vocals make “The House Where Nobody Lives” more fragile and vulnerable than the original recording. “Jersey Girl” gets a breezy, island treatment by Corinne Bailey Rae and “You Can Never Hold Back Spring” receives a lush, dreamlike makeover by Kat Edmonson.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/388986 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Other America of Paul Auster, Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits Adriano Tedde, PhD candidate School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences Griffith University. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2019 0 ABSTRACT This thesis employs popular culture texts (works of literature, film, and popular music) as companions to the understanding of contemporary America. It is about artworks that form a cultural resistance that enables the appreciation of social issues and cultural decline in the United States. The authors of these artworks are novelist Paul Auster, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, and musician Tom Waits. Born between the late 1940s and the early 1950s, in different parts of the United States, Auster, Jarmusch, and Waits have produced a series of works that share strong similarities. In their novels, films, and songs, they portray an imagined “Other America” that is in stark contrast with the idyllic vision of the American Dream. Their America does not coincide with conventional middle-class values and goals of success, money and social upward mobility. It is an open, tolerant, and egalitarian country inhabited by marginalized “other Americans” who never escape from poverty and failure.
