  • “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.

That Mandarin fixation sets itself far apart from any of his other endeavours—playing and producing for indie super troupe Death Cab For Cutie, or personals hopping behind the studio mixing boards for countless other all star songwriters like The Decemberists and Tegan and Sara. To tap into that Chinese muse, he needed nothing more than his father’s briefcase and business plans. “My dad spent a good chunk of my childhood in China and he always loved it,” the songwriter and producer says of his father’s Far East business trips while working for the Boeing Airline Company in the mid to late 1980s.

Page 8 SECTION A Recent sexual assault raises safety issues By Melissa Nielsen CAMPUS EDITOR The recent sexual assault of woman on cam- pus has reiterated the need for police and cam- pus sexual assault services for the ongoing problem of rape. On Oct. 9, at about midnight, an unidentified woman said a man she knew sexually assaulted her in Thomas Hall, a police report said. Though the report was filed, no charges will be filed, said Adam Due, chief public safety officer. He said the woman wanted to make police aware of the situation, but did not want to take the case any further. Due said the victim knew the offender, did not seek medical attention and police were not aware of any alcohol use. Tom Edwards, president of the board for Sexual Assault Crisis and Information Center, said going to police is one option sexual assault victims have, but victims who feel they need help should call professional help lines in their area after an assault.

  • Friendly Fire: 1962’S Lawrence of Arabia
    Note: This show periodically replaces their ad breaks with new promotional clips. Because of this, both the transcription for the clips and the timestamps after them may be inaccurate at the time of viewing this transcript. 00:00:00 Music Music “Overture” from Lawrence of Arabia. A stirring drumbeat plays at normal volume for a moment, then the music fades down and plays quietly as John Roderick speaks. 00:00:04 John Host Lawrence of Arabia is one of those movies you can do a bad job of Roderick watching. There’s so much happening in this film that you can actually fail at it, as a viewer. To succeed at watching this movie is to leave it more confused than you entered, to have your prejudices challenged and your assumptions upended, and to appreciate that not all of that was the film’s intention. The events depicted can’t be summarized or diagrammed, you can’t dissect them effectively using the blunt instrument of any particular ideology, there are no coherent narratives where the choices were clear or where history could’ve gone a different way, and maybe none of it happened like this anyway—but maybe it did. Coming out of this movie with a couple of pat conclusions and a prescription is equivalent to whacking at a turducken with a pocket comb and claiming to have rebuilt a living turkey, chicken, and duck. It’s a movie about a man in a time and place, the myth of the man, the making of the myth of the man in his own time, the myth of the making of the myth of the man in his immediate aftermath, and the math of making the myth of the man either stand or be damned after the dashed-off first draft of his plan to salve the wrath of the clans was panned by cads and damned by a new brand of grandstanding also-rans who want to reprimand and ban what they can’t understand.
