The job description proposed by the Citizen's Advisory Committee was slightly amended before being approved by the council. A critical issue was the recommendation made by the citizens' committee to require that the candidate have a minimum of five years of investigative expe- rience. Opponents saw this requirement as catering the position to a former police officer or district attor- ney an incumbent detrimental to the purpose of having an auditor in the first place, in the view of some. Oncethis requirementWa-ireitioved by the coun- cil, discussion regarding the job description flowed more smoothly. The proposed independent police auditor posi- tion was adopted in November by the City Council after Mayor Susan Hammer came up with the reso- lution in lieu of establishing a citizen review board. The board is advocated by the ACLU, the Santa Clara County Bar Association and the SJSU cam- pus-based Direct Action Alliance. Twenty-four people, including a few SJSU stu- dents, were arrested at the November meeting when their protest disrupted the council's proceedings. Christine A.

If the 1980s had been the golden age of heavy metal, the age when heavy metal was accepted by the masses and climbed the charts, the 1990s saw the fragmentation of the genre into rather different styles, that simply expanded on ideas of the 1980s. As usual, pop-metal, the genre that appealed to the masses, was, artistically speaking, the least significant variant of heavy metal. It spawned stars such as Los Angeles' Warrant, with Cherry Pie (1990); Boston's Extreme, who specialized in "metal-operas" a` la Queen such as Pornograffiti (1990); and Pennsylvania's Live, with Throwing Copper (1994); etc. Los Angeles had to live with remnants of its "street-scene" (Guns N' Roses, Jane's Addiction), although they sounded a lot less sincere and a lot less powerful than the original masters: Ugly Kid Joe, Life Sex And Death, Dishwalla, Ednaswap, etc. Glam-metal staged a comeback of sorts in Florida with Marilyn Manson (1), the product of Brian Warner's deranged mind.

  • Metal Music As Critical Dystopia: Humans, Technology and the Future in 1990S Science Fiction Metal
    Metal Music as Critical Dystopia: Humans, Technology and the Future in 1990s Science Fiction Metal Laura Taylor Department of Communications, Popular Culture and Film Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Humanities, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © October, 2006 Abstract Metal Music as Critical Dystopia: Humans, Technology and the Future in 1990s Science Fiction Metal seeks to demonstrate that the dystopian elements in metal music are not merely or necessarily a sonic celebration of disaster. Rather, metal music's fascination with dystopian imagery is often critical in intent, borrowing themes and imagery from other literary and cinematic traditions in an effort to express a form of social commentary. The artists and musical works examined in this thesis maintain strong ties with the science fiction genre, in particular, and tum to science fiction conventions in order to examine the long-term implications of humanity's complex relationship with advanced technology. Situating metal's engagements with science fiction in relation to a broader practice of blending science fiction and popular music and to the technophobic tradition in writing and film, this thesis analyzes the works of two science fiction metal bands, VOlvod and Fear Factory, and provides close readings of four futuristic albums from the mid to late 1990s that address humanity's relationship with advanced technology in musical and visual imagery as well as lyrics. These recorded texts, described here as cyber metal for their preoccupation with technology in subject matter and in sound, represent prime examples of the critical dystopia in metal music.
