  • James Joyce Estate Finally Gives Kate Bush Permission to Use Molly
    James Joyce Estate finally gives Kate Bush Permission to use Molly Bloom soliloquy Kluwer Copyright Blog April 18, 2011 Guido Westkamp (Centre for Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary, University of London) Please refer to this post as:Guido Westkamp, ‘James Joyce Estate finally gives Kate Bush Permission to use Molly Bloom soliloquy’, Kluwer Copyright Blog, April 18 2011, http://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2011/04/18/james-joyce-estate-finally-gives-kate-bush-permission-to-us e-molly-bloom-soliloquy/ By Luke McDongagh, PhD Candidate, QMIPRI The Irish Times has recently reported that the Joyce estate has, after many years of refusal, finally granted the English singer Kate Bush permission to use the famous Molly Bloom soliloquy from James Joyce’s seminal novel Ulysses as the lyrical basis for a song. The soliloquy, spoken at the end of the novel by Molly Bloom, the wife of the main character Leopold Bloom, is famous for including one of the longest sentences in the English literature (over 4000 words). Kate Bush was refused permission to use the extract in the original version of her album The Sensual World in 1989. The decision is notable due to the previous unwillingness of the Joyce estate to allow such adaptations of Joycean text. for instance, in 2006, a Stanford Professor, Carol Schloss, was forced to sue the Joyce estate in order to use parts of Joyce’s writings in an academic biography of Joyce’s daughter Lucia. The case was eventually settled with the Joyce estate agreeing to pay Schloss’ costs. It is notable that James Joyce, who died in 1941, used many “appropriations” in the creation of Ulysses; in fact the entire plot of the novel is based on Homer’s Odyssey.

What shines through from the very start is how big a fan of Kate's the author is. Costello's art is a celebration of the intellect, with an aggressive use of irony. This is a good biography which I've given three stars rather than four because I'm not sure how much it would interest those not already into its subject. I am strengthened by her determination to do it her way.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • {PDF EPUB} Under the Ivy the Life & Music of Kate Bush by Graeme
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Under the Ivy The Life & Music of Kate Bush by Graeme Thomson Bush, Robert John. Born on April 4, 1920 in South Ockendon, Robert John Bush worked hard to win a scholarship to the Grammar School at Grays, and later won a place at medical school to become a doctor. He married Hannah Bush in early 1943. Together they had three children: John Carder Bush (1944), Paddy Bush (1952) and Kate (1958). His voice can be heard in the song The Fog, in the extended version of The Big Sky (The Meteorological Mix) and also among the voices calling to the heroine of The Ninth Wave between the songs Under Ice and Waking The Witch. KT Bush Band. Band formed in 1977 by Brian Bath, Vic King, Del Palmer and Kate Bush. After practicing in Greenwich and East Wickham Farm, they made their live debut in April 1977 at the Rose Of Lee in Lewisham. The set list consisted of standards like Come Together, 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine', 'Tracks Of My Tears', but also early versions of Kate Bush songs like James And The Cold Gun, Saxophone Song and Them Heavy People. During the summer of 1977 the band played various venues in and around London, a grand total of 20 gigs. When Kate Bush started recording her debut album The Kick Inside, she actually recorded versions of 'Them Heavy People' and 'James And The Cold Gun' at De Wolfe Studios in London with the KT Bush Band, but in the end, the band members were not used for the album recordings.

In Author a new series, our authors nominate their favourites. David McCooey Professor of Writing and Literature, Deakin University Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love (1985) was the first album I heard on CD. With its use of the Fairlight CMI (a digital synthesizer/sampler workstation), digital reverb, and drum machines, it was perhaps eminently suitable for the CD format. But under its shiny digital sound, Hounds of Love was very much an LP, as seen in its two-part structure. Side one, Hounds of Love, covers themes characteristic of Bush: intimacy and its limits (Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) and The Big Sky); familial love (albeit darkly articulated in Mother Stands for Comfort); and the intensity and ambivalence of sexual desire (Hounds of Love). Meanwhile, side two comprises of The Ninth Wave, a song cycle about a woman who has fallen into the sea at night, with only the “little light” of her life jacket to guide her.

What questions should historians be asking about UK popular music in the 1970s? John Mullen, Université de Rouen Normandie, Equipe ERIAC One of the most important jobs of the historian is to find useful and interesting questions about the past, and the debate about the 1970s has partly been a question of deciding which questions are important. The questions, of course, are not neutral, which is why those numerous commentators for whom the key question is “Did the British people become ungovernable in the 1970s?” might do well to balance this interrogation with other equally non-neutral questions, such as, perhaps, “Did the British elites become unbearable in the 1970s?” My reflection shows, it is true, a preoccupation with “history from below”, but this is the approach most suited to the study of popular music history.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Kate Bush: Running up that hill again? Katy Sandalls reflects on Kate Bush’s career and speculates on her first tour since 1979 Friday 21 March 2014 Photo credit: Vintage Vision “Out on the Wiley, windy moors we’d roll and fall in green.” Kate Bush has never been a conventional artist, but that has always been her trademark and the reason why her fans adore her. It is unsurprising then that she has created a buzz in the music world once again by announcing that she is to go on tour for only the second time in her career. Kate Bush has had a phenomenal amount of success during her 35-year career with hits such as ‘Babooshka’ and ‘Running Up that Hill’. She has also received a Brit award and an Ivor Novello, as well as three Grammy nominations. Last year she was awarded a CBE by the Queen. Bush’s original tour was back in 1979 at the very start of her career, following her very successful debut album The Kick Inside, which featured Bush’s most famous song ‘Wuthering Heights’. But after those six weeks she never toured again, and was very rarely seen performing live, finding her own performance on Top of the Pops embarrassing. She even turned down an opportunity to perform at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. So why has it taken Bush nearly 40 years to consider going on tour again? Bush’s The Tour of Life was seen as real spectacle by those who attended; full of wondrous special effects and fabulous costume changes (17 in total!).
