    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Though denied by its author as the source of his inspiration, what musical work has strong resemblance to the story of a mythical village called Germelshausen that fell under a curse and appears for only one day every century? Brigadoon by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe The story involves two American tourists who stumble upon Brigadoon, a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years. Tommy, one of the tourists, falls in love with Fiona, a young woman from Brigadoon. Lerner, however, denied that he had based the book on an older story and stated that he didn't learn of the existence of the Germelshausen story until after he had completed the first draft of Brigadoon. 156. In December 1971, Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention were playing in a concert when the casino venue they were in caught fire due to an over-zealous member of the audience firing a a flare gun into the rattan covered ceiling. This is the true origin story of what rock classic? "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple The resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass guitarist Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he suddenly woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched the fire from their hotel.

  • The Process of Creating the First Pan-European Shakuhachi Summer
    The process of creating the first Pan-European Shakuhachi Summer School with Koto and Shamisen SOAS, University of London 19th-22nd July 2006 From an organiser’s viewpoint. By Kiku Day Photo: Christiane Werner The Shakuhachi Summer School with Koto and Shamisen was part of the SOAS World Music Summer Schools series. SOAS was a perfect environment for this first attempt at a large shakuhachi event, and I feel strongly that many forces came together and made this year a perfect time for this important first shakuhachi event to happen at SOAS. I contacted the music department at SOAS regarding hosting a shakuhachi summer school for the first time in September 2002 after having participated in the World Shakuhachi Festival in Tokyo and Klezfest (one week of klezmer music classes and events). However, SOAS still didn’t have a Music Summer School yet. I graduated from SOAS with a BA in ethnomusicology in 2003 and left England to do a Master degree in performance in California, USA. When I returned and registered in September 2005 the following came together like a natural force: • SOAS has one of the leading departments in ethnomusicology in Europe and is in possession of six koto and five shamisen. • SOAS had had two successful Music Summer Schools and was therefore in a much better position than earlier to host such an event. • Michael Coxall, a Yamaguchi Goro student and excellent shakuhachi performer, who teaches at SOAS was very enthusiastic and willing to co-organise this crazy project. • An active Japanese Music Society was created and led by Arisawa Shino in Sept.

  • Making Sense of "Bad English"
    MAKING SENSE OF “BAD ENGLISH” Why is it that some ways of using English are considered “good” and others are considered “bad”? Why are certain forms of language termed elegant, eloquent, or refined, whereas others are deemed uneducated, coarse, or inappropriate? Making Sense of “Bad English” is an accessible introduction to attitudes and ideologies towards the use of English in different settings around the world. Outlining how perceptions about what constitutes “good” and “bad” English have been shaped, this book shows how these principles are based on social factors rather than linguistic issues and highlights some of the real-life consequences of these perceptions. Features include: • an overview of attitudes towards English and how they came about, as well as real-life consequences and benefits of using “bad” English; • explicit links between different English language systems, including child’s English, English as a lingua franca, African American English, Singlish, and New Delhi English; • examples taken from classic names in the field of sociolinguistics, including Labov, Trudgill, Baugh, and Lambert, as well as rising stars and more recent cutting-edge research; • links to relevant social parallels, including cultural outputs such as holiday myths, to help readers engage in a new way with the notion of Standard English; • supporting online material for students which features worksheets, links to audio and news files, further examples and discussion questions, and background on key issues from the book. Making Sense of “Bad English” provides an engaging and thought-provoking overview of this topic and is essential reading for any student studying sociolinguistics within a global setting.

    VIOLENT FEMMES AND THE TASMANIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA World Premiere Monday 22 & Tuesday 23 January Due to popular demand Mona Foma today announced an extra show for the world premiere of the Violent Femmes performing with the TSO. For two nights only, the Violent Femmes will take their acoustic punk-rock and work with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra to reimagine it as a full orchestra experience. Conducted by Hamish McKeich they’ll perform a long list of cult classics such as Add It Up, Blister In The Sun, Kiss Off, Gone Daddy Gone, American Song and Gimme The Car at The Federation Concert Hall on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 January. “Most rock bands would blow off an orchestra with the amplifiers, but for these two shows we’re prepared to back off on the volume and actually play almost at the same volume as the orchestra musicians and create a more unified approach, “ said Brian Ritchie. The Violent Femmes were formed in 1981 as an acoustic band playing on the streets of Milwaukee. Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and The Velvet Underground. Enduring a couple of hiatuses throughout their 36-plus year career, the band — original members Gordon Gano and Brian Ritchie, along with drummer John Sparrow have been performing steadily since reuniting again in 2013. The TSO’s performance with the Violent Femmes represents another innovative collaboration for the orchestra, which in 2017 alone has seen sold out concerts with vocal star Kate Miller-Heidke, a Dark MOFO collaboration with Norwegian metal band Ulver, an original show with comedy trio Tripod and a sold out concert with ARIA award-winning and multi-platinum artist Megan Washington.

  • Submission by Music Tasmania
    Parliamentary Inquiry into the Australian music industry : Submission by Music Tasmania Parliamentary Inquiry into the Australian music industry: Submission by Music Tasmania Introduction On behalf of Music Tasmania, thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the Parliamentary Inquiry regarding: Factors contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Australian music industry. Music is the soundtrack to the creative economy in Tasmania. Acts like ASTA, Striborg, Psycroptic, Monique Brumby, The Innocents, The Paradise Motel, The Wolfe Brothers, and Luca Brasi, are all part of a legacy of Tasmanian musicians who have a powerful impact on our national and international reputation. Local music festivals such as MONA FOMA, Dark MOFO, Party in the Paddock, and a festival called Panama, are gaining worldwide attention and putting Tasmania on the music map. Apart from their talent, the people working in the Tasmanian music sector are highly committed and resourceful in an environment where funding is scarce, paid opportunities limited, and the music marketplace is increasingly competitive and globalised. Some of the challenges faced by musicians are endemic to the nature of this evolving artform; others however, are more determined by the local music ecosystem in Tasmania. In August 2016, Music Tasmania, in partnership with APRA AMCOS and the Live Music Office, facilitated a statewide consultation to understand the challenges and opportunities facing the Tasmanian sector. The consultation involved face-to-face sessions with key stakeholders,
