  • Challenging Authenticity: Fakes and Forgeries in Rock Music
    Challenging authenticity: fakes and forgeries in rock music Chris Atton Chris Atton Professor of Media and Culture School of Arts and Creative Industries Edinburgh Napier University Merchiston Campus Edinburgh EH10 5DT T 0131 455 2223 E [email protected] 8210 words (exc. abstract) Challenging authenticity: fakes and forgeries in rock music Abstract Authenticity is a key concept in the evaluation of rock music by critics and fans. The production of fakes challenges the means by which listeners evaluate the authentic, by questioning central notions of integrity and sincerity. This paper examines the nature and motives of faking in recorded music, such as inventing imaginary groups or passing off studio recordings as live performances. In addition to a survey of types of fakes and the motives of those responsible for them, the paper presents two case studies, one of the ‘fake’ American group the Residents, the other of the Unknown Deutschland series of releases, purporting to be hitherto unknown recordings of German rock groups from the 1970s. By examining the critical reception of these cases and taking into account ethical and aesthetic considerations, the paper argues that the relationship between the authentic (the ‘real’) and the inauthentic (the ‘fake’) is complex. It concludes that, to judge from fans’ responses at least, the fake can be judged as possessing cultural value and may even be considered as authentic. 1 Challenging authenticity: fakes and forgeries in rock music Little consideration has been given to the aesthetic and cultural significance of the inauthentic through the production of fakes in popular music, except for negatively critical assessments of pop music as ‘plastic’ or ‘manufactured’ (McLeod 2001 provides examples from American rock criticism).

  • Primary Documents-1920'S
    A FLAPPER'S APPEAL TO PARENTS BY ELLEN WELLES PAGE The following article by Ellen Welles Page appeared in Outlook magazine on December 6, 1922. The illustrations which accompany this piece did not accompany the original article, but are added here for your viewing pleasure. Also, please note: the term "make love" meant to "sweet talk" someone in the 1920's - it did not have it's current meaning. Language, like fashions and music, has also changed over time. If one judge by appearances, I suppose I am a flapper. I am within the age limit. I wear bobbed hair, the badge of flapperhood. (And, oh, what a comfort it is!), I powder my nose. I wear fringed skirts and bright-colored sweaters, and scarfs, and waists with Peter Pan collars, and low- heeled "finale hopper" shoes. I adore to dance. I spend a large amount of time in automobiles. I attend hops, and proms, and ball-games, and crew races, and other affairs at men's colleges. But none the less some of the most thoroughbred superflappers might blush to claim sistership or even remote relationship with such as I. I don't use rouge, or lipstick, or pluck my eyebrows. I don't smoke (I've tried it, and don't like it), or drink, or tell "peppy stories." I don't pet. And, most unpardonable infringement of all the rules and regulations of Flapperdom, I haven't a line! But then--there are many degrees of flapper. There is the semi-flapper; the flapper; the superflapper. Each of these three main general divisions has its degrees of variation.
