I knew where their music fit in, but didn't care too much about where they fit in. If you don't get stuck on that, you will enjoy her way with words. May 06, Leah rated it liked it. A lot of reviews are citing her incessant name dropping, and there is definitely that, too. I want a huge Sonic Youth fan, but recognize that she played an important if unwitting part in the feminist movement External Reviews. Maybe this is a possibility for more people out there than I realize; it's certainly befuddling to decidedly non-musical me.

Her prose reaches moments of beauty and poignance that are both delicate and strong. Kim eventually going back to her art roots and going on to finding other musical collaborations. You know the saying: There's no time like the present Another criticism that I think should be debunked outright is that KG calls herself a feminist and yet picks on other women in the book. Music Played. This is really engaging stuff, I just wish there was more of it. The marriage part is too i know I'm in the minority of most readers of Kim Gordon's "Girl in a Band," but I think the book would be a lot more interesting if she focused on her childhood and then the New York years. Call me sensitive. At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it. Girl in a Band describes Gordon's life from her childhood—first in Rochester, New York , then Los Angeles—through the founding and trajectory of Sonic Youth, her marriage of nearly three decades to bandmate Thurston Moore , and the ultimate dissolution of both their marriage and the band. Another way of saying that is: the art is what's interesting about the person, everything Sonic Youth is great and Kim Gordon was an indispensable part of the band; it wouldn't have been successful without her, and that's something you'd rarely say about a bass player. Different kick ass singer, different kick ass period. And yes, this results in pages that are peppered with largely unfamiliar names and thus read like an Academy Award Speech, or worse, an index. Girl in a Band A Memoir. Just not something I have done much. Recently, however, I picked up Patti Smith's Just Kids and loved it, so I thought I should read another rock memoir written by a woman I loved growing up. That said, despite being a longtime fan of Sonic Youth, I don't think this memoir will particularly appeal to non-fans of the group. Using you tube, I would look up events she mentioned and this enriched my listening experience greatly, making it almost interactive. Don't even get me started on how she talks about the other woman i'm sure just one of many she knows of that Thurston left her for. For example, when she mentions that the Smashing Pumpkins were "too pretentious, too image-conscious", I couldn't help but to think of how much effort she put into being different, and how self conscious she was with her own image, but somehow that doesn't make her image-conscious herself. The memoir starts with a particularly emotional recounting of Sonic Youth's last ever gig, whilst Gordon and Moore were in the throes of their separation, and you can genuinely hear the hurt in Gordon's words. Girl in a Band by Kim Gordon. Shelves: musica. Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, Girl in a Band is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist. Fri 2 Sep Girl in a Band Writer Well, I suppose such a hyperbolic transformation is possible -- that's exactly what Being authentically Punk Rock, capital P capital R, means, right? In that case, we can't There are brilliant passages throughout this book, passages where I wrote down quotes or re-read and re-read just to ruminate on her often brilliant theories. Kim Gordon certainly does. Oh, I don't even know where to start. Musician, actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the front woman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae, and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. I'm not going to be all Team Kim or Team Thurston because that's ridiculous - they created music together and it's pretty awesome to listen to still, but she was more than just a "girl in a band", duh, which is what this memoir is really about. Retrieved July 27, Views Read Edit View history. Boring these women were not. While I appreciate Gordon as a musician and an artist, I have to admit that her writing itself leaves a bit to be desired. Just not something I have done much. The book shares chapter-length tales from the authors along with personal essays from famous and infamous players in the scene. If you didn't know anything about KG before you read the book, don't worry - you'll know almost less after you read it. Girl in a Band by Kim Gordon. I agree with my friend Christopher's review where he said he felt the whole Thurston Moore divorce thing read as being a bit forced, like it was something maybe Gordon herself didn't want to talk about it but either felt pressure from her publisher, editor, or the public. With immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn - and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman. Listeners also enjoyed Conventional Break-Up The memoir is book-ended by intimate painful details of the break-up of Gordon's marriage to Thurston Moore, although it has to be said that this is the least interesting and most conventional aspect of the book love gone wrong. If you don't already love Kim Gordon's deadpan voice from her music projects the performance of this text might surprise you. On reflection I enjoyed this book for its perspective on a time I have come to realise I miss, was saddened more than excited by the bleak gossip of a woman losing her partner and expected future, and also pleased and relieved to remember that the coolness Kim and Sonic Youth represent is not my cool. Retrieved July 26, Whether or not she had a right to be or not, I still felt a little uncomfortable reading certain sections of the memoir - her words at times seemed a little bitchy and unnecessary. When the book ended I felt a void, a sadness. And yes, this results in pages that are peppered with largely unfamiliar names and thus read like an Academy Award Speech, or worse, an index. Themselves archive footage Lita Ford True to her stage persona Kim Gordon has the effortless cool detached rock thing happening, what you see is what you get. Then stop. So much more than a rock biog, Girl In A Band is a unique record of the past 50 years of alternative culture. This is the never-before- told story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan '80s - when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations, and other subversives reenergized American rock with punk rock's do-it-yourself credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging, and immensely influential. Switch payment method. It feels like she had a kind of tunnel vision in writing this, giving us enough detail to lead us to this con I can't believe I'm about to use this as the definitive word for a book by Kim Gordon, but, more than anything, Girl in a Band is Even if a few times her reading stutters, in my opinion this makes the experience all the more intimate.

  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

The idea is to present “musicians in their own words”. Thurston Moore American guitarist and vocalist (July 25, 1958—) Background on Sonic Youth Thurston Moore was a guitarist and vocalist for Sonic Youth. Sonic Youth was an American alternative rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. Their lineup largely consisted of Thurston Moore (guitar and vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, and guitar), Lee Ranaldo (guitar and vocals), Steve Shelley (drums). In their early career, Sonic Youth was associated with the no wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound. As a result, some consider Sonic Youth as pivotal in the rise of the alternative rock and indie rock movementThbdts.

  • The Sociology of Youth Subcultures
    Peace Review 16:4, December (2004), 409-4J 4 The Sociology of Youth Subcultures Alan O'Connor The main theme in the sociology of youth subcultures is the reladon between social class and everyday experience. There are many ways of thinking about social class. In the work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu the main factors involved are parents' occupation and level of education. These have signilicant effects on the life chances of their children. Social class is not a social group: the idea is not that working class kids or middle class kids only hang out together. There may be some of this in any school or town. Social class is a structure. It is shown to exist by sociological research and many people may only be partly aware of these structures or may lack the vocabulary to talk about them. It is often the case that people blame themselves—their bad school grades or dead-end job—for what are, at least in part, the effects of a system of social class that has had significant effects on their lives. The main point of Bourdieu's research is to show that many kids never had a fair chance from the beginning. n spite of talk about "globalizadon" there are significant differences between Idifferent sociedes. Social class works differently in France, Mexico and the U.S. For example, the educadon system is different in each country. In studying issues of youth culture, it is important to take these differences into account. The system of social class in each country is always experienced in complex ways.

  • Post-Cinematic Affect: on Grace Jones, Boarding Gate and Southland Tales
    Film-Philosophy 14.1 2010 Post-Cinematic Affect: On Grace Jones, Boarding Gate and Southland Tales Steven Shaviro Wayne State University Introduction In this text, I look at three recent media productions – two films and a music video – that reflect, in particularly radical and cogent ways, upon the world we live in today. Olivier Assayas’ Boarding Gate (starring Asia Argento) and Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales (with Justin Timberlake, Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, and Sarah Michelle Gellar) were both released in 2007. Nick Hooker’s music video for Grace Jones’s song ‘Corporate Cannibal’ was released (as was the song itself) in 2008. These works are quite different from one another, in form as well as content. ‘Corporate Cannibal’ is a digital production that has little in common with traditional film. Boarding Gate, on the other hand, is not a digital work; it is thoroughly cinematic, in terms both of technology, and of narrative development and character presentation. Southland Tales lies somewhat in between the other two. It is grounded in the formal techniques of television, video, and digital media, rather than those of film; but its grand ambitions are very much those of a big-screen movie. Nonetheless, despite their evident differences, all three of these works express, and exemplify, the ‘structure of feeling’ that I would like to call (for want of a better phrase) post-cinematic affect. Film-Philosophy | ISSN: 1466-4615 1 Film-Philosophy 14.1 2010 Why ‘post-cinematic’? Film gave way to television as a ‘cultural dominant’ a long time ago, in the mid-twentieth century; and television in turn has given way in recent years to computer- and network-based, and digitally generated, ‘new media.’ Film itself has not disappeared, of course; but filmmaking has been transformed, over the past two decades, from an analogue process to a heavily digitised one.

  • Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene
    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.
