    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.

    Neg(oti)ating Fusion: Steely Dan’s Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2018 © 2018 Ethan Patrick Krajewski To my parents for music and language Acknowledgements My biggest thanks go to my advisor, Professor Julian Levinson, as a teacher, mentor, and friend, for helping me think, talk, write, and (most importantly, I think) laugh about seventies rock music. You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

In theory, theBosstown Sound was a logical development to follow the San Francisco "sound," which included the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, MobyGrape, and other Bay Area bands that had been commercially successful in 1967. However, Bosstown Sound was not a major commericalsuccess; on the contrary, it became notorious as a failed hype. Whatever excitement the hype originally generated was over withina year. A surprisingly large volume of published materials about Bosstown exists, butit is in farflung places and often hard to locate. Existing archival materials allow for a brief description of the activitiesof 18 separate bands representing the Bosstown 60und. Futureinvestigations will include interviewing members of these bandsto clear up the enigmas in the puzzle that was Bosstown Sound and to contributeto the serious study of rock music.

  • Walter Becker North Hollywood, California 1989
    Walter Becker North Hollywood, California 1989 r Becker is a mysterious guy for a number of reasons. As the nonsinging be, of Becker and Fagen, the core of Steely Dan, his contributions to songs were never certain. More than a decade now since the release of ir last album, Gaucho, it's still difficult to go back over their' records and mguish Becker's ideas from Fagen's. This mystery was fortified by the fact that for many years, Steely Dan ex- only in the studio, so fans had no way of seeing Becker in action. And king at the album photos didn't help at all: Donald and Walter made a t of appearing as distant as possible by wearing shades and never smiling, ndencv that led even Rickie Lee Jones to believe that they simply weren't nice. (In fact, they were just trying to look cool, as Walter explains.) Then there are the songs. Since they met at Bard College in New York, ker and Fagen shared an enthusiasm for expanding the potential of the ng both in terms of lyrical and harmonic content. Since Donald's nasal New Irkvoice was better suited for irony than sincerity, they veered off the well- den path of introspective songwriting others were taking in the seventies to create brilliant oppositions of words and music: succinct, sardonic lyrics set to the slickest, tightest jazz a pop song could hold. They shared a passion, border- on obsession, to push the limits of what songs can do while staying within e realm of rock; they explored previously unexplored lyrical areas with a wit d literate ingenuity few others possessed at the time.
