The early 1990s marked a dramatic change in the gender balance. Not only did many female singer-songwriters emerge, but their artistic achievements generally ranked higher than those of the men. The emergence of the female auteur was partly a consequence of the riot-grrrls movement and partly a sign of a changing social and psychological landscape. The ladies had their own styles (plural). First of all, at the turn of the decade, an eccentric figure of lo-fi psychedelic storytellers emerged out of New York's underground lofts. Multi-instrumentalist Azalia Snail (12) devoted her career to enigmatic and arcane reconstructions of the hippie era. Snailbait (? 1988/?1989 - ? 1989) featured a parade of folk-psychedelic vocal impersonations as well as erratic guitar playing with no rhythm section, and peaked with a 23- minute collage of singing, distorted tapes, found noises and assorted turbulence, So Much More To Go. Burnt Sienna (? ? - ? 1992) indulged in psychedelic effects, amid distorted vocals and dissonant music, leading to the chaotic Fumarole Rising (? 1993 - ? 1993), the culmination of her program of disintegration of the pop song.

  • On the Popularity of American Musical Responses to HIV/AIDS in the 1990S Matthew Tift
    1 Musical AIDS: On the Popularity of American Musical Responses to HIV/AIDS in the 1990s Matthew Tift [Slide 2] Ronald Reagan did not mention AIDS in public until 1987.1 In February 1990 Reagan apologized for his neglect of the pandemic while he was president of the United States.2 [Slide 3] On April 8, 1990 Ryan White died at age eighteen after fighting AIDS-related lung infection. [Slide 4] In 1991 John Corigliano won two Grammy awards for his AIDS Symphony. [Slide 5] In November 1991 Magic Johnson announced that he was HIV-positive. [Slide 6] Later that month Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, died from AIDS. [Slide 7] In 1992 Arthur Ashe announced that he had AIDS and later that year was named Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman of the Year.” [Slide 8] That year also marked the beginning of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. [Slide 9] In May of 1993 the FDA approved the Reality Female Condom, which offered STD protection for women without relying on the cooperation of their partner. [Slide 10] At the end of 1993 “Philadelphia” was released. [Slide 11] In 1995 Greg Louganis announced that he had AIDS. [Slide 12] In 1996 the AIDS Quilt, transported by ten train cars, was displayed along the National Mall in Washington. [Slide 13] In December 1996 TIME magazine’s declared that its “Man of the Year” was an AIDS researcher. [Slide 14: Blank] Do these events sound familiar? Many of them should. In contrast, how many celebrities can you name that have announced their seropositive status since the turn of the century? Today when we talk about AIDS we most often are talking about policy or statistics, but in the 1990s AIDS had many faces -- too many faces.
