  • BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987
    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

  • The Record Producer As Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry
    The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael John Gilmour Howlett April 2009 ii I certify that the work presented in this dissertation is my own, and has not been presented, or is currently submitted, in candidature for any degree at any other University: _____________________________________________________________ Michael Howlett iii The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry Abstract What is a record producer? There is a degree of mystery and uncertainty about just what goes on behind the studio door. Some producers are seen as Svengali- like figures manipulating artists into mass consumer product. Producers are sometimes seen as mere technicians whose job is simply to set up a few microphones and press the record button. Close examination of the recording process will show how far this is from a complete picture. Artists are special—they come with an inspiration, and a talent, but also with a variety of complications, and in many ways a recording studio can seem the least likely place for creative expression and for an affective performance to happen. The task of the record producer is to engage with these artists and their songs and turn these potentials into form through the technology of the recording studio. The purpose of the exercise is to disseminate this fixed form to an imagined audience—generally in the hope that this audience will prove to be real.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • Kicks in Style: a Punk Design Aesthetic
    Kicks in Style: A Punk Design Aesthetic Kicks in Style: A Punk Design Aesthetic Russ Bestley The Oxford Handbook of Punk Rock Edited by George McKay and Gina Arnold Subject: Music, Musicology and Music History Online Publication Date: Nov 2020 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190859565.013.13 Abstract and Keywords In parallel to the broad diversity of musical styles that accompanied the early punk explo­ sion, the graphic design and visual communication strategies tell a similarly wide-ranging story. This chapter explores the complex relationship between the stereotype of “authen­ tic” do-it-yourself (DIY) punk graphics and the music industry professionals who created many of the visual conventions that came to be closely associated with the subculture. While the groundswell of amateur artists, illustrators, photographers, typographers, and other cultural producers inspired by the subculture to create a new aesthetic should not be underestimated, their story has become almost the default history of punk graphic de­ sign. The role of design professionals—often with many years of experience within the music industry—has frequently been overlooked, an embarrassing secret kept in the clos­ et for fear of undermining notions of authenticity and punk’s revolutionary rhetoric. Keywords: punk, DIY, authenticity, graphic design, music industry, art production, professional design Like the music that accompanied it, punk graphic design cannot be tied down to a single set of approaches, processes, or concepts. Punk’s visual style was often aggressive and rhetorical, reflecting and commenting on its surroundings, and with a corresponding fo­ cus on individuality, creativity, and personal expression that set itself in opposition to the norm.

Au dernier moment avant de repartir, alors que nous étions déjà tous dans la voiture, nous nous sommes arrêtés, pour prendre de l'essence sûrement, et j'ai demandé à sortir pour aller fûreter rapidement dans le rayon presse du magasin devant lequel nous étions. J'en suis revenu, délesté de 6 francs, avec dans les mains le n° 116 du magazine Best, daté de mars 1978 et donc sorti courant février. Cela faisait sûrement une bonne année que j'avais commencé à m'intéresser sérieusement à la musique, en achetant plus de disques, en écoutant la radio, en en discutant avec les copains, et en leur empruntant disques et revues, mais, à presque quinze ans, c'est la première fois que j'ai acheté en kiosque au moment de sa sortie l'un des deux titres phares de la presse rock de l'époque, Rock & Folk et Best.

  • Stiff Records Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Stiff Records Discography
    Stiff Records Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Stiff Records Discography Stiff Records was founded in 1976 by Dave Robinson and Jake Riviera. Radio jocks usually referred to non-hit singles as “stiffs” (as in, dead), so the idea of Stiff Records was to release artists who couldn’t attract a mainstream audience (at least, at the time. Several were later very successful). Early releases were “pub rock” artists, but this quickly evolved into punk rock. Rivera left to form Radar Records in 1977 and took several artists with him. Up to 1978, Stiff had released primarily singles and a few albums released outside the US. That year Stiff signed a deal with CBS to distribute their product in the US (the deal lasted to 1982). This put the label on the map here. In 1984, Robinson sold Stiff Records to Island Records in England, who entered into a short distribution deal with MCA for US releases. This incarnation of Stiff was not very successful, and Island wanted to dump the label. Robinson regained control of Stiff as an independent label in 1986, but immediately fell into a cash flow crisis and went bankrupt. ZTT Records bought it out of liquidation in 1987, where it remained dormant until 2006. That year, ZTT resurrected the imprint by signing new artists and reissuing old material.

  • Bill Kirchen Word of the Wise the Guests
    Bill Kirchen Word of The Wise the guests Maria Muldaur I was Maria D'Amato's fan from her early days with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. I first saw her at Boston's Club 47, Ann Arbor's Canterbury House, and the Newport Folk Festivals, all in the midsixties. As a long time fan I was delighted to get to play guitar with her for a short run of gigs in the late 70's, including an eye opening concert on New Year's Day in San Quentin penitentiary. Her post Jug Band records with her then husband Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett are some of my favorite discs. She continues to perform and make great records today. Maria and I sing Ain't Got Time For The Blues, a tune I wrote specifically for her, mindful of her status as Queen of the Lost Oasins tribe. Dan Hicks Dan started making the swingingest, most original and often funniest pop records of the day beginning in the late 60's, and has never let up. I first shared the stage with him in 1970 for an encore performance of the Hawaiian favorite Hukilau. We had all 21 musicians from three bands (Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, and Asleep At The Wheel) on stage, plus grass skirts and palm trees. I played guitar in his Christmas Jug Band for a few shows as well, and my band once backed Dan for a rockabilly veined set. In 1966 back in Ann Arbor I'd owned a record by his seminal San Francisco band The Charlatans which got and held my attention.
