Sure, they played their share of festivals, plenty of sold-out gigs, they toured with both Nirvana a disaster and Pearl Jam an unexpectedly fun time. Rating details. The Mudhoney: The Sound & the Fury from Seattle story of the band that many consider to have been the inventors of "grunge," produced with their full cooperation and released on their 25th anniversary. Rock biographies are rarely good; less seldom, they are great. Average rating 4. Concert Review: Tool. Jul 28, Vlajko rated it it was amazing. Friend Reviews. May 05, Joshua Kupetz rated it it was amazing. Lists with This Book. It will provide a proper context to a band that, in a lot ways, had just as much impact on music as their more well known peers. Other Editions 1. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Get A Copy. Mudhoney never reached the heights of commercial success attained by Nirvana; nor did they flame out. I can look at Mudhoney critically and place them very much as a vital and still- awesome cog in their scene, which extended well outside of Seattle and encompassed other late 80s champs like Pussy Galore, Laughing Hyenas, Lazy Cowgirls, Sonic Youth, Dwarves, feedtime, Scratch Acid and so on. Inthe band's debut single, "Touch Me, I'm Sick," and subsequent EP, Superfuzz Bigmuffturned the world of indie-rock world on its ear, litghting the way for the grunge movement that would put Seattle on the map. What a terrible review. Refresh and try again. Mudhoney: The Sound & the Fury from Seattle Review: Refused. Interview: Anna Burch. Very well researched and written. Angie: Not a bad write up. Community Reviews. Enlarge cover. Mudhoney: Digital Garbage Mudhoney is perhaps only reluctantly named godfathers of grunge. But overall definitely worth a read for any serious Mudhoney fan. Spelling, grammatical and punctuation were issues throughout the book. September 30, I liked all four records immensely but I dug those Mudhoney records the most.

Mudhoney were central to my sickness at the highest point in its bell curve.

  • Download a PDF of the Inventory B
    PUBLIC COLLECTORS Records Collection Inventory of: Marc Fischer Chicago, IL, USA About PUBLIC COLLECTORS Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location. Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public. The purpose of this project is for large collections of materials to become accessible so that knowledge, ideas and expertise can be freely shared and exchanged. Public Collectors is not intended, nor should it be used for buying and selling objects. There are many preexisting venues for that. Collectors can accommodate viewers at whatever location is most com - fortable or convenient for them. If their collection is portable or can be viewed in a location other than the collector’s home, this would still be an appropriate way to participate in the project. In addition to hosting collection inventories and other information, www.publiccollectors.org includes digital collections that are suitable for web presentation, do not have a physical material analog, or are difficult or impossible to experience otherwise.

By far the most pervasive and long-lived was the revival of psychedelia, that kept recurring throughout the Eighties and the Nineties. Los Angeles had its own movement, the "Paisley Underground". Psychedelia became merely a pretext to concoct baroque, oneiric and hypnotic sounds, often with the help of keyboards and strings. Byrds-ian jangling guitars and naive melodies a` la Hollies dominate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (feb/mar - oct 1983) by Rain Parade (1), with Matt Piucci on vocals and Dave Roback on guitar, as well as the EP Baroque Hoedown (fall 1982 - dec 1982) and the album Sixteen Tambourines (? 1983 - oct 1983) by Mike Quercio's Three O'Clock (1). Needless to say, the Paisley Underground was only the tip of the iceberg. The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers.

  • Peak Music Experiences: a New Perspective on Popular Music, Identity and Scenes
    Peak music experiences: A new perspective on popular music, identity and scenes Author Green, Ben Published 2017-08 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/3456 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/372598 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Peak music experiences: A new perspective on popular music, identity and scenes Ben Green Bachelor of Laws (Hons) School of Humanities Arts, Education and Law Group Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Abstract Peak music experiences are those experiences involving music that stand out as especially affecting, meaningful and memorable for the individuals involved. They are a common topic in discussions of popular music, including in journalism, biography and fan culture, where they are often credited as pivotal in people’s relationships with music and their lives more generally. Examples of peak music experiences are apparent in some previous scholarly studies of popular music cultures, however, this is the first dedicated investigation of the phenomenon. By analysing this way of thinking and talking about music, this thesis contributes to understandings of how music’s meaning and effects are constructed, the role of musical experience in identity and sociality, and the discursive structuring of individual and collective experience in music scenes. The thesis draws on ethnographic research conducted in 2015 in the local music scene of Brisbane, Australia, including participant observation in activities of music consumption and production, reviews of secondary data sources including popular music media, and in-depth interviews.
