  • 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.

    MKULTR4: Very Vague And Not Well-Funded Written and Edited by Emma Laslett, Ewan MacAulay, Joey Goldman, Ben Salter, and Oli Clarke Finals 1 Tossups 1. Secret identities adopted by characters in this series include Rhonda Mumps and Jake Jortles, and one character in this series spends most of an episode responding to all requests by giving people cacti. One character in this series suffers from “directional insanity”, and another responds to a plan to use him as a “willing sex robot” with the phrase “Maximum (*) Derek!” A 3,000 page manuscript is discarded as incomprehensible by a being who knows “literally everything” in this series; that work is What We Owe To Each Other, by Chidi Anagonye. For 10 points, name this 2016 comedy series created by Michael Schur and starring Ted Danson and Kristen Bell, in which Eleanor Shellstrop arrives in the eponymous ideal afterlife by mistake. ANSWER: The Good Place <EL> 2. In one scene, this character is described in a simile as “like a wolf, lying in wait by a full sheepfold” who is “tormented by its dry bloodless Jaws”. This character is opposed in one council by a man often considered a reflection of Cicero, Drances. It’s not the title character of the work in which they appear, but in Book Six the Sibyl heralds this character as a new (*) Achilles. During this character's final fight, after a borrowed sword shatters, their divine sister brings them another. This man asks their rival to “pity Daunus’ old age” when wounded in the thigh, but is killed when that rival sees this man wearing the sword-belt of Pallas.

  • Guns N' Roses – 03
    GUNS N' ROSES – 03. Juni 2018 – Berlin, Olympiastadion – Not In This Lifetime – Tour - Support: GRETA VEN FLEET, MANIC STREET PREACHERS -Text und Fotos: Holger Ott Sie standen nicht in meinem Terminkalender. Zum einen zu teuer, zum Anderen bin ich nicht so der Fan von AXL ROSE'S Stimme und sein Schwenker zu AC/DC kann man auch mit gemischten Gefühlen betrachten. Dennoch, sie haben trotz wenigen CDs in ihrer Laufbahn einige gute Songs hervorgebracht, die jedem im Ohr geblieben sind. Umso überraschender das Comeback, obwohl AXL, wie im Tournamen bestätigt, "Niemals wieder" mit SLASH auf einer Bühne stehen wollte. Aber, wie fast überall, regiert auch hier das Geld die Welt und wer weiß, was die alten Recken auf die Kralle bekommen haben, um über die Zwistigkeiten hinwegzusehen. Mein Ticket ist ein kurzfristiges Geschenk, welches ich dann doch dankend entgegen nehme, um mir einen netten Abend im Berliner Olympiastadion zu machen. Für Konzerte ist dieses riesige Oval eigentlich völlig ungeeignet. Man sitzt oder steht, egal wo, immer zu weit vom Geschehen entfernt. Die Preise haben es auch inzwischen in sich, die Schlangen vor den Klos werden stündlich länger und die Akustik lässt zu wünschen übrig. So auch heute. Angekündigt sind zwei Vorbands. Den Reigen eröffnen GRETA VAN FLEET aus den USA. Dreißig Minuten werden ihnen ab 17 Uhr zugestanden. Der Name war mir geläufig, die Musik überhaupt nicht. Also erst einmal eine kleine Recherche im WWW und mal sehen, was dort so ausgespuckt wird. Drei Brüder und ein Kumpel werden mir angezeigt und der merkwürdige Bandname, ist der Name einer Einwohnerin aus ihrem Heimatort.
