  • No Code (Vinyl-Reissue)

    No Code (Vinyl-Reissue)

    Pearl Jam – No Code (Vinyl- Reissue) (49:37, LP, Sony Music/Legacy, 1996/2016) „No Code“ – ein Statement als Albumtitel. Pearl Jam weigerten sich, mit einem Barcode das Artwork zu verschandeln. Ob man den Künstlern das abnimmt oder es für eine werbewirksame Masche hält, sei dahingestellt. „No Code“ will als Gesamtkunstwerk betrachtet werden, da ist das Drumherum ebenso wichtig wie der musikalische Gehalt. „No Code“ schafft das. Das LP-Cover ist aufwändig gestaltet, es lässt sich mehrfach aufklappen. Als Beilage gibt es neun Polaroids, die das Cover als Collage zieren. Der eigentliche Clou – hier wird es für passionierte Sammler und Die-hard-Fans interessant: Es gibt vier verschiedene Versionen (C-O-D E) dieser Polaroid-Beilagen. Welche davon jeweils in der Hülle steckt, lässt sich nicht erkennen solange die LP verschweißt ist – wem kommen da nicht Panini-Bilder in den Sinn? Die Gestaltung ist ohne Frage gelungen und das verkaufsfördernde Spiel ist nicht neu. Man kennt es von Genesis („Abacab“), Led Zeppelin („In Through The Out Door“) und diversen anderen Künstlern. Nebenbei bemerkt: In der Hülle steckt auch eine LP, und die enthält immer dieselben 13 Songs. Gut so, sonst würde es wirklich kompliziert. Zu Zeiten seiner Erstveröffentlichung war „No Code“ umstritten. Für viele Fans hatten Peal Jam sich zu weit von den Erwartungen entfernt. War „Vitaology“ mit seiner ruppigen und punkigen Attitüde noch als Statement wider den Ausverkauf des Seattle-Movements verstanden worden, so löste sich die Band mit „No Code“ noch weiter aus ihrem bisherigen Klangkosmos. Das das Album beschließende ‚Around The Bend‘ mit seiner Kaffeehaus-Atmosphäre mag für Manchen nur schwer verdaulich gewesen sein.

    Master Thesis the PERCEPTION of OPINION LEADERSHIP FOR

    Master Thesis THE PERCEPTION OF OPINION LEADERSHIP FOR POLITICAL AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION AMONG DANCE MUSIC ARTISTS Emilija Kučytė Political communication Student identification number: 10841830 Thesis supervisor: Dr. M.E. Wojcieszak Word count: 1443 2 MUSICIANS AS OPINION LEADERS STIMULATING POLITICAL PARTICIPATION Abstract This research combines the fields of entertainment, politics and media. The patterns of political participation are especially changing among youth. In this context popular artists, acting as opinion leaders, have the forum to shape the public opinion and instigate political behavior. Thus by conducting qualitative interviews with dance music artists, this thesis provides an insight on their motives to act as opinion leaders, who stimulate civic participation among their fans. It has showed that the motives to instigate political engagement depend on the interplay between the views towards the freedom of speech, hierarchy and representation in democracy; the level of interpretation of an artist as a public versus private person and the level of perceived influence of artists. The motivation was moderated by the medium and the level of issue controversy. Keywords: Political participation, media, music, entertainment, civic engagement, opinion leadership 3 MUSICIANS AS OPINION LEADERS STIMULATING POLITICAL PARTICIPATION Introduction “I am a D.J., I am what I say[..] I've got believers I've got believers in me” - David Bowie. In this song the late David Bowie talks about the influence of a DJ, a face of now billion dollar growing industry and the genre most popular among the millennial generation. Among other forms of entertainment, music has always had an important role in influencing the political landscape, mobilizing nations or being a form of protest, while becoming “the voice of the generation” (Van Zoonen, 2005).
