(What's the Story) Morning Glory Recensioni Fuori Tempo Massimo Oasis – “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory” Pubblicato su Talassa il 26 marzo 2016 di Gabriele Naddeo Premessa Numero 1. Non saprei dirvi bene perché, ma gli Oasis mi sono sempre stati un po’ sul cazzo. A pelle e a prescindere. Come quando un amico ti presenta quel suo amico e a te risulta irritante ancor prima di conoscerne il nome. Siamo tutti d’accordo sulla stupidità di un ragionamento del genere, ma sono cose che succedono, in fin dei conti. Fatto sta che dopo svariati anni d’odio immotivato, mi sono deciso a comprare “(What’s the story) Morning Glory?”, all’improvviso e per un’altrettanta immotivata voglia di provare a smantellare quel pregiudizio dopo un giorno qualunque. Premessa Numero 2. Dopo l’immersione temporanea in “(What’s the story) Morning Glory?” ho deciso di dividere questa recensione-fuori- tempo-massimo in tre differenti capitoli autonomi. A voi la scelta di leggerli tutte e tre, magari due, anche uno soltanto o (ebbene sì) nessuno. Queste le tre sezioni: 1.Le canzoni che non sono Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger e Champagne Supernova, 2. Wonderwall, 3. Don’t Look Back in Anger e Champagne Supernova. 1.Le canzoni che non sono Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger e Champagne Supernova Dopo il primo vero ascolto attento di “(What’s the story) Morning Glory?” mi è successa una cosa presuntuosissima: ho bollato frettolosamente come ‘passabili’ tutte le canzoni del disco che non fossero le tre citate nel titolo di questa sezione. A questo punto, però, è entrata in gioco la cabina della doccia a mettermi di fronte la mia stupidità e l’evidenza che il secondo disco degli Oasis è una stramaledetta bomba britpop. La doccia non mente mai: è il luogo/non-luogo in cui ti ritrovi a canticchiare in modo onesto le prime cose che ti vengono in mente, il che la rende di gran lunga più compromettente della sessione privata di Spotify. Ecco che già dopo un solo, banalissimo ascolto mi sono ritrovato a scimmiottare tra uno shampoo e una phonata pezzi tipo ‘Hello’, ‘Roll With It’ e ‘Some Might Say’. Mi incazzavo e cantavo, cantavo e mi incazzavo nuovamente per il fatto di cantare frasi come ‘Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game to play’, ma nel frattempo eccome se le cantavo. 2.Wonderwall ‘Wonderwall’ è per me un caso delicatissimo, ecco perché cercherò di buttar giù le idee tutte insieme e quanto più rapidamente possibile. Non è certo la canzone più bella del disco. La voce di Liam in questo pezzo è irritantissima e non ce la faccio a pensarla diversamente (scusami Liam, tanto che ti frega resta pur sempre un inno generazionale). È un brano di una potenza pop disarmante, forse il brano più pop degli anni ’90 in assoluto. È la canzone voce-chitarra che funziona praticamente sempre, l’asso nella manica da giocarsi in qualsiasi occasione e che, vuoi o non vuoi, ti ritroverai a cantare per l’ennesima volta con: A) voce annoiata e sguardo assente (versione sobria, la più rara) o B) a squarciagola e scandendo con forza il “meibi” e lo “iuar mai uonderuol’ del ritornello (versione ubriaca, la più gettonata). 3. Don’t Look Back in Anger e Champagne Supernova Il cuore del secondo disco degli Oasis pulsa in questi due capolavori. Don’t Look Back in Anger, come lo stesso Noel ha più volte ripetuto, non ha un significato ben preciso, ma la cosa non interessa veramente a nessuno dal momento che è una canzone di una bellezza disarmante. Sarebbe scontato aggiungere altre parole d’elogio sulla melodia di questo pezzo e sulla poesia di “So I started a revolution from my bed”, quindi mi limito a riascoltarlo proprio mente sto scrivendo al pc, dal letto . Poi c’è Champagne Supernova. Una canzone surreale di 7 minuti e 27 le cui frasi sconnesse e i cortocircuiti visivi ci ricordano quanto l’arte, in fondo in fondo, non sia niente e come di fatto si può riuscire a cambiare tutto con questo niente. Se Wonderwall funziona già solo voce e chitarra, Champagne Supernova può fare tranquillamente a meno anche della chitarra. Dopo l’ultima partita di rugby tra Inghilterra e Galles, i tifosi inglesi la cantavano con un trasporto tale da far sembrare la vittoria della loro nazionale un mero strumento in vista della performance collettiva sul più bel pezzo degli Oasis. Che fine ha fatto l’odio immotivato per il gruppo, dite? Non lo so ancora, ci devo riflettere su…ma a voi piuttosto sembra il momento di farmi domande del genere mentre nel cielo splende una meravigliosa supernova di champagne? .

APPROVED BY: ___________________ Albino Carillo, M.F.A. Faculty Advisor ____________________ John P. McCombe, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ____________________ Andrew Slade, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ii ABSTRACT SONGS FOR WAITERS: A LYRICAL PLAY IN TWO ACTS Name: Eberly, Andrew M. University of Dayton Advisor: Albino Carillo, M.F.A. Through the creative mediums of lyrical poetry, monologues, and traditional dramatic scenes, Songs for Waiters concerns an owner and two employees at an urban bar/restaurant. Through their work, their interactions with the public and each other, and reflecting on their own lives, the three men unpack contemporary debates on work, violence, and sexuality. The use of lyrical poetry introduces the possibility of these portions of the play being put to music in a performance setting, as the play is written to be workshopped and performed live in the future. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………….…………..…iii ACT I…………………………………………………………………………...…………1 ACT II……………………………………………………………………………………35 iv ACT I The play begins with no actors onstage. The set consists of café tables upstage right and left and a bar upstage center. The décor is that of a classic bar with some history. The bar is George’s—known for good food. It’s independent, casual, eclectic, open late, and located on High Street in Columbus, Ohio.

  • Britpop's Common People – National Identity, Popular Music and Young
    Britpop's Common People – National identity, popular music and young people in the 1990's Claudia Lueders Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Royal Holloway, University of London 18th November 2016 Declaration of Authorship I (Claudia Lueders) hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 | P a g e Britpop's Common People – National identity, popular music and young people in the 1990's Abstract: The thesis discusses the significance of Britpop’s representation of British identity for British youth and their attitude towards British identity in the 1990’s. Taking issue with the dominant academic critique of Britpop as an ‘assertion of white, male, heterosexual Englishness’ (Bennett and Stratton, 2010, p.6; Percival, 2010; Hawkins, 2010; Whiteley, 2010) the thesis argues that Britpop’s representation of national identity was more complex and ambiguous than previously suggested by academia and that Britpop’s positive attitude towards Britain and its nostalgic image of British identity needs to be interpreted as a cultural critique of social, economic and political changes in the United Kingdom in the 90s. The concepts of ‘Imagined communities’ (Anderson, 1983) and of ‘Banal nationalism’ (Billig, 1995) are used as a starting point to explore the significant role of young people and popular music for the construction and reproduction of national identity. Drawing on a qualitative textual analysis of Britpop lyrics, album reviews, and mainstream media coverage alongside data collected from qualitative interviews/surveys with musicians, PR agents, journalists, and fans, it also discusses how national identity is constructed and maintained through cultural references in popular music and related media discourses.
