  • A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.Com, 1/2009)
    A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 1/2009) A short while back, we interviewed a fascinating accordionist, music-oriented photographer, and image and scene maker in Portland named Alicia J. Rose, aka Miss Murgatroid. She'd taken very compelling photos of several bands we'd covered (Sophe Lux and Boy Eats Drum Machine come to mind), and then we stumbled on to her signature accordion work, which often involved multiple effects pedals. Her best known CD was one she'd woven with her friend and musical partner Petra Haden. Although you might know Petra as a member of the Decemberists, or as one of Charlie Haden's daughters (the legendary jazz bassist), or the guest soloist in any of many bands (including the recent Foo Fighters tour), she is still and deservedly best known for her a capella version of the entire Sell Out record by The Who. (She later cut a record with Bill Frisell that happens to be rather divine, called simply Petra Haden and Bill Frisell.) But the Petra project that ignited our conversation was Hearts and Daggers, the long awaited and satisfying reunion with Miss Murgatroid. Some sounds are best heard before described, and you'll find the customary links to those audio clips along the way. We're sure you'll find Petra's words interesting, as we certainly did. And thanks to Miss Murgatroid, aka Alicia J. Rose, who led us here. Puremusic: Let's talk first about this recent release with Miss Murgatroid, Hearts and Daggers. We like that a lot.

Depart'ment o Political Science May 10, 1974 Certified by ........ Thesis Supervisor Accepted by ......... Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students Archives OCT 10 1974 ABSTRACT INVESTMENT AND TITHING IN THAI VILLAGES: A BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF RURAL MODERNIZATION Charles Alan Murray Submitted to the Department of Political Science on 10 May 1974 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Political Science This study analyzes the responses of forty-one Thai villages to moderniza- tion. The village is the unit of analysis. Behaviors or the physical outcomes of behaviors are used as the indicators of response. The objective is to explain why Thai villages vary so widely in the content and quality of daily life. The two major constructs of the study are how much the people in a village have modernized, and how well the village is coping with modernization in terms of maintaining basic governmental functions. The first of these constructs is operationally defined as "investment" -- evidence that villagers in a given community are making efforts to improve their lives by voluntarily risking what they already possess. This is argued to be a behavioral reflection of two psychological hallmarks of personal modernity in peasants: an expanding standard of what is attainable, and acculturation to change as a manageable and generally benificient phenomenon.

  • Petra Haden in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i2.7en Who Sells Out?: Petra Haden in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Marianne Tatom Letts Independent scholar [email protected] Abstract In 2005, Petra Haden released her version of The Who Sell Out, notable for the meticulousness and creativity with which she mimicked the various instruments on the album, and for the fact that she produced the project with an eight-track recorder and only her own voice. This article examines the ways in which Haden’s interpretation of the classic album elevates it into the realm of “high art” while retaining its status as a commodity within the realm of popular music. Although the Who’s original recording (1967) was one of the first concept albums, its unification comes not through a storyline or characters, as with other albums of that era, but through the foregrounding of its existence as a commodity. Radio jingles for both real and fake products are interspersed among the genuine commodities of pop songs, and the cover art features the Who in fake advertisements. Haden includes the jingles and even the cover artwork in her interpretation, but the changes she makes through generating every sound with her voice provide a level of unification that the original album does not possess. Haden’s live reinterpretation (with her band the Sellouts) casts doubt on what constitutes the “authentic” version of the album, since the current lineup of the Who (two surviving members and various supporting musicians) no longer performs the material.
