    Umphrey's Mcgee

    Umphrey’s McGee Brendan Bayliss: Guitar, vocals Jake Cinninger: Guitar, vocals Joel Cummins: Keyboard, piano, vocals Andy Farag: Percussion Kris Myers: Drums, vocals Ryan Stasik: Bass After 18-plus years of performing more than 100 concerts annually, releasing nine studio albums and selling more than 4.2 million tracks online, Umphrey’s McGee might be forgiven if they chose to rest on their laurels. But then that wouldn’t be consistent with the work ethic demonstrated by the band, which consistently attempts to raise the bar, setting and achieving new goals since forming on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Indiana, in 1997. After releasing their eighth studio album, Similar Skin, the first for their own indie label, Nothing Too Fancy (N2F) Music (distributed by RED), the group continued to push the envelope and test the limits. The London Session, was a dream come true for the members having been recorded at the legendary Studio Two at historic Abbey Road. The stealth recording session yielded 10 tracks in a single day, proving once again, the prolific UM waits for no one. As a follow up to The London Session, the envelope pushing continues with the November 11th release of ZONKEY. Umphrey’s McGee has been arranging and performing original mashups live for over eight years. It was only a matter of when, not if, some of those innovative concoctions would find their way into a studio. An album of 12 unique mashups, conceived and arranged by the band, ZONKEY is as seamless as it bizarre, playful as it is razor sharp.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

    “Heretic Streak”: the Orwellian Aesthetic in Ray Davies' Song Writing And

    STUDIA HUMANISTYCZNE AGH Tom 15/2 • 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.7494/human.2016.15.2.7 Izabela Curyłło-Klag* Jagiellonian University in Krakow UTOPIA, DYSTOPIA AND THE “HERETIC STREAK”: THE ORWELLIAN AESTHETIC IN RAY DAVIES’ SONG WRITING AND OTHER CREATIVE PROJECTS The article explores the infl uence of Orwell’s fi ction on the creative output of Ray Davies, one of Britain’s fi nest songwriters and the erstwhile frontman of The Kinks, a ‘British Invasion’ group. The Davies oeuvre can be placed alongside Orwell’s work due to its entertainment value, sharpness of ob- servation and complex, confl icted socio-political sympathies. By balancing utopian visions with dystopian premonitions and by offering regular critiques of the culture they hold dear, Orwell and Davies represent the same tradition of cautious patriotism. They also share a similar aesthetic, communicating their insights through humour, self-mockery and acerbic wit. Keywords: Orwell, Ray Davies, pop culture, dystopia, utopia In the opening frame of a documentary on The Kinks, Hugh Fielder, a well-known English music critic, comments: “If George Orwell wrote songs, and was not a member of the socialist party, he’d be writing Ray Davies’ songs”. He then immediately checks himself: “Sorry, that’s a literary allusion, it’s probably gonna go whoosh” (The Kinks Story 2010: 3’21). Mentioning literature with reference to a British Invasion band is not exactly the done thing: rockers do not usually enthuse over writers, even if they share their love of words. Not long ago for instance, the frontman of Oasis declared that reading fi ction is a waste of time, and dismissed the whole publishing business as elitist, since it allows “people who write and read and review books [to put] themselves a tiny little bit above the rest of us” (Gallagher 2013).

Karr ii ABSTRACT This collection of short stories features characters who face unexpected situations arising from ordinary circumstances. Most of the characters find themselves compelled to react in ways that may even surprise themselves. A young woman finds her first feeling of joy in a long time in the face of her mother’s possible death. Best friends recall their years spent doing drugs and ignoring responsibility. When a woman confronts her fear of sex, she finds herself literally in another world. Rather than sticking with one form, several stories depart from traditional structures.

The term is woven deep into our language as well as our consciousness. Consider the connotations of homemade and homespun. Home can offer refuge from the hostile world, or it can be a prison. People living together inevitably — sometimes intentionally — rub one another the wrong way. This chafing provides writers with rich material for art. (Remember, without conflict there is no story.) Are these writers working through their own failed relationships with mothers, fathers, and siblings? Sometimes. Are they exploring their conflicted feelings toward a home they left behind? Maybe. Are they holding up a mirror that allows us to see our own homes and families in a new light? Most certainly. Though the trappings of Happy families are all alike; home and family differ across every unhappy family is unhappy cultures, human families have in its own way. much in common. Legend has it that a man from Czechoslovakia, — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina after watching a production of August Wilson’s Fences (set in Pittsburgh in the 1950s), approached the playwright and asked him, “How did you know about my family?” Wilson may not have known that particular man’s family, but he knew about families and how the sins of the Getty Images / father play out in the lives of sons.

    The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters

    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

    O Álbum Sandinista!: Agenciamentos E Fronteiras Musicais Do Grupo the Clash1

    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXIX Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – São Paulo ‐ SP – 05 a 09/09/2016 O álbum Sandinista!: agenciamentos e fronteiras musicais do grupo The Clash1 Herom VARGAS2 Universidade Metodista de São Paulo – UMESP Nilton CARVALHO3 Universidade Municipal de S. Caetano do Sul – USCS, São Paulo, SP Resumo O movimento punk inglês produziu rompimentos com o rock mainstream da indústria fonográfica, mas após algum tempo, sua estética se estabeleceu como fórmula cristalizada. No álbum Sandinista! (1980), a banda inglesa The Clash se afasta dessa rigidez musical ao movimentar-se para as fronteiras, em contato com outras culturas e seus agenciamentos textuais. Essa mudança é um aspecto fundamental na construção da linguagem híbrida do disco que difere dos moldes identitários do punk rock. Com base nos Estudos Culturais e na Semiótica da Cultura, este artigo visa demonstrar como o grupo propôs uma arte de fronteira musical e política com o chamado Terceiro Mundo, usando textos (dub, jazz, soul, hip hop, calypso) geradores de uma semiótica que difere do regime significante (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1995) do punk britânico. Palavras-chave: Sandinista!; The Clash; experimentalismo; hibridismo; punk. Introdução A participação do grupo inglês Sex Pistols no programa Today Show, do apresentador Bill Grundy, em 1976, foi um dos acontecimentos midiáticos que consolidou o punk rock britânico como movimento musical aparentemente caótico. Durante a entrevista, o guitarrista Steve Jones pronunciou a palavra “fuck”4, expressão desordeira que influenciou centenas de jovens a exibir nas ruas atitudes semelhantes e roupas rasgadas e mal assentadas para o padrão da época.

Two key examples—Pink’s pop video “Try” and Rihanna’s electropop video “We Found Love”—allow us to examine representations of complex human relationality and the paradoxical challenges of heterosexuality in late modernity. We explore Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of “liquid love” in connection with the selected videos. A model for the analysis of lyrics, music, and images according to cross-domain parameters ( thematic, spatial & temporal, relational, and gestural ) facilitates the interpretation of the expressive content we consider. Our model has the potential to be applied to musical texts from the full range of musical genres and to shed light on a variety of social and cultural contexts at both the micro and macro levels.

To illustrate the relevance of our approach, we have selected two songs by mainstream female artists who offer compelling reflections on the nature of heterosexual love and the challenges it poses for both men and women.
