  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • Abc2 to Screen Uk Smash Hit Show – Tfi Friday
    RELEASED Thursday October 22, 2015 ABC2 TO SCREEN UK SMASH HIT SHOW – TFI FRIDAY ABC2 adds the cult classic UK series TFI FRIDAY to its massive line-up of Thursday night entertainment. (YES on Thursday, not Friday.) The UK has recently welcomed the return of THE iconic 90’s entertainment show, that shocked and delighted a nation, for a new ten-episode run. Starting tonight, and screening each Thursday at 9.15pm on ABC2 (just six days after the episode airs in the UK), TFI FRIDAY will feature the biggest names in showbiz, who pop in to perform a song or to have a chat with host Chris Evans, or for something else completely bonkers. During the ‘90’s (and again this year for a 90 minute reunion special) TFI FRIDAY was a seminal UK TV institution that kicked down the doors to the weekend. It was fresh, raucous, rowdy and relentlessly inventive. Filmed in a bar in front of a fun and frisky audience, host Chris Evans (soon to be the new front man for TOP GEAR) presided over a freewheeling mix of live music, comedy sketches, daft games, celebrity interviews and a host of well loved catchphrases. TFI FRIDAY changed the face of UK television and revolutionised modern chat and entertainment shows. EP1: THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 9.15pm Guests include super group U2, British pop legends Take That, actor Steve Coogan, band Slaves and actress Saoirse Ronan. EP2: THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 9.15pm Guests include singer Justin Bieber, actor Dawn French, hip hop stars Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, X-Men: Apocalypse actor Nicholas Hoult and synthpop duo - Hurts.

  • DC Biog Current
    THE DIVINE COMEDY – A BIOGRAPHY The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon. Over the years, the name has encompassed other musicians, but the driving force of the band and its main (sometimes only!) member has always been Neil Hannon. He chose the name 'The Divine Comedy' aged 18, almost at random. He and two Enniskillen school friends needed a new name for their band and Neil spotted a copy of Dante’s epic poem on the family bookshelf. It stuck, and a year later it was the name under which the trio signed to Irish run indie Setanta Records. They left Northern Ireland, moved into a squat in London, released a mini-album, 1990’s REM/Ride influenced 'Fanfare for the Comic Muse' and ‘91’s ‘Europop’ E.P. then split up. Neil's bandmates went to university and Neil returned home. Retaining the name, he spent 18 months living in his parents’ attic, sleeping during the day, watching old movies and writing songs at night. Influenced by everything from Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Michael Nyman to "A Room with a View", Wordsworth, and Mr Benn, these songs eventually evolved into two albums. The first of these, ‘Liberation’ was released in 1993. Totally different to anything else around, and indeed his previous work, he now considers it his first album proper. The press adored it. The NME described it as "..an array of seductive yarns.. glorious, gleeful tunesmanship." Dave Cavanagh, writing in Select said "...one of the bountiful, overflowing joys of the year. Any year." Melody Maker described it as "An album that could make any listener want to stumble up to him and proclaim ‘Neil, you’re a genius’".

  • Making Friends with Jarvis Cocker: Music Culture in the Context of Web 2.0
    Cultural Sociology Copyright © 2008 BSA Publications Ltd® Volume 2(2): 222–241 [DOI: 10.1177/1749975508091034] SAGE Publications Los Angeles, London, New Delhi and Singapore Making Friends with Jarvis Cocker: Music Culture in the Context of Web 2.0 ■ David Beer York St John University ABSTRACT The movement toward what has been described as Web 2.0 has brought with it some significant transformations in the practices, organization and relations of music culture. The user-generated and web-top applications of Web 2.0 are already popular and widely used, the social networking site MySpace already hav- ing more than 130 million members worldwide. By focusing specifically upon the presence of the popular music performer Jarvis Cocker across various Web 2.0 applications, this article seeks to open up a series of questions and create oppor- tunities for research into what is happening in contemporary music culture. This exploratory article lays out an agenda for research into music culture and Web 2.0 that is not only concerned with the implications of Web 2.0 for music, but which also attempts to understand the part played by music in making the connections that form the collaborative and participatory cultures of Web 2.0 and the flicker- ing friendships of social networking sites. KEY WORDS friendship / music / music culture / MySpace / social networking sites / Web 2.0 / Wikipedia / Youtube ‘And don’t believe me if I claim to be your friend.’ (Jarvis Cocker, ‘I Will Kill Again’ from the album The Jarvis Cocker Record, Rough Trade, 2006) Making Friends with Jarvis Cocker Beer 223 Introduction ecent years have seen some significant changes in music culture.
