  • Hall of Fame Andy Partridge
    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge Andrew John Partridge (born 11 November 1953) is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer from Swindon. He is best known for co-founding the rock band XTC, in which he served as the group's primary songwriter and vocalist. While the band was formed as an early punk rock group, Partridge's music drew heavily from British Invasion songwriters, and his style gradually shifted to more traditional pop, often with pastoral themes. The band's only British top 10 hit, "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), was written by Partridge. In addition to his work with XTC, Partridge has released one solo album on Virgin Records in 1980 called Take Away / The Lure of Salvage. He has also collaborated (as performer, writer or record producer) with recording artists, including Martin Newell, with whom he recorded and produced an album in 1993 entitled The Greatest Living Englishman released in Japan as a duo album. Partridge was producer for the English band Blur during the recording of Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). He was replaced by Stephen Street at the insistence of their record label, Food. According to Partridge he was unpaid for the sessions and received his expenses only. Partridge also wrote four songs for Disney's version of James and the Giant Peach (1996) but was replaced by Randy Newman when he could not get Disney to offer him "an acceptable deal". In the 2000s, Partridge began releasing demos of his songs under his own name in The Official Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album and the Fuzzy Warbles album series on his APE House record label.

  • Conclusion: Popular Music, Aesthetic Value, and Materiality
    CONCLUSION: POPULAR MUSIC, AESTHETIC VALUE, AND MATERIALITY Popular music has been accused of being formulaic, homogeneous, man- ufactured, trite, vulgar, trivial, ephemeral, and so on. These condemna- tions have roots in aspects of the Western aesthetic tradition, especially its modernist and expressivist branches, according to which great art innovates, breaks and re-makes the rules, expresses the artist’s personal vision or unique emotions, or all these. Popular music has its defenders. But they have tended to appeal to the same inherited aesthetic criteria, defending some branches of popular music at the expense of others― valorising its artistic, expressive, innovative, or authentic branches against mere ‘pop’. These evaluations are problematic, because they presuppose all along a set of criteria that are slanted against the popular fi eld. We therefore need new frameworks for the evaluation of popular music. These frameworks need to enable us to evaluate pieces of popular music by the standards proper to this particular cultural form―to judge how well these pieces work as popular music, not how successfully they rise above the popular condition. To devise such frameworks we need an account of popular music’s standard features and of the further organising qualities and typical val- ues to which these features give rise. Popular music normally has four layers of sound―melody, chords, bass, and percussion―and each layer is normally made up of repetitions of short elements, these repeti- tions being aligned temporally with one another, with whole sections of repeated material then being repeated in turn to constitute song sections. © The Author(s) 2016 249 A.

As co-founder and main composer with The Cranberries, Noel Hogan was directly responsible for creating the band’s distinct sound. Some 40 million albums later and numerous songwriting credits, Noel Hogan’s deserved place in rock music history is firmly guaranteed. His considerable achievements have been lauded by awards from amongst others, MTV and Ivor Novello. As part of The Cranberries, Noel honed his own production skills by working with legendary producers Stephen Street (Morrissey, New Order), Cenzo Townsend (U2, Florence and The Machine), and Bruce Fairbairn (Bon Jovi, AC/DC). The Cranberries final studio album In The End was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2020. The band’s video for ‘Zombie’ reached a Billion views on Youtube on April 18th, 2020. Noel has co-produced and co-written work with Bernard Butler (Suede) and Richard Walters (Monoband and Arkitekt). In addition to his phenomenal global success with The Cranberries, Noel Hogan has carved out a growing reputation as a producer and as a solo artist. Working with Richard Walters and a wide range of vocalists, his critically acclaimed Monoband project released its first recording in 2004. Their eponymous debut was named as album of the week by The Ticket (Irish Times, Dublin) and demonstrates Hogan’s assuredness and versatility as a producer and composer..

  • Morrissey: from Where He Came to Where He Went – with and Without the Smiths
    DVD Morrissey: From Where He Came To Where He Went – With And Without The Smiths Pride/MVD Kate Harper (CHARTattack) 03/11/2009 1:55pm 0 comments 6 love it 5 hate it This double DVD set features two documentaries about The Smiths and Morrissey. The first, Morrissey — The Jewel In The Crown , examines Mozzer's solo career from his 1989 Viva Hate debut to 2004's You Are The Quarry . Unfortunately, as the film hasn't been authorized by Morrissey or his management, it's completely free of his music. The result is a film that only contains boring, stupid jingle music and interviews. Morrissey doesn't appear in the film (save for a short television interview segment at the end), but producer Stephen Street ( Viva Hate ), Factory Records head Tony Wilson, guitarist Vinni Reilly and journalists Stuart Maconie, Paul Morley and John Robb do. The most interesting bit is the continuing argument between Street and Reilly about who really wrote the music on Viva Hate . Street claims he did, while Reilly says Street's demos were so horrible that he was forced to fix everything in the studio, but didn't get any credit on the album. The documentary descends into extremely boring territory after that. The Smiths — Under Review disc is better, since it chronicles The Smiths' career and actually includes the band's music and videos. This documentary does an excellent job of examining the Mancunian four-piece's career and their continued importance to modern pop music. All the interview subjects from the first half of the package are present in the second, and it's much more enjoyable to watch.
