While magazines kept publicizing the "death of punk-rock", hardcore became a pervasive movement that did not leave any town (or country) untouched. As if galvanized by its own death, the movement took on a life of its own and became a genre within the genre. In the 1990s that genre, in turn, spawned a number of sub-genres. First and foremost, there was "emocore", the style invented in the late 1980s by Rites Of Spring and the Washington contingent. Their "emotional" hardcore alternated quiet and furious musical parts, admitted moody arrangements, indulged in time changes and mid-tempo rhythms, leveraged emotional singing that could whisper as well as shout within the same song, and was not limited to the short/fast format of hardcore. In other words, it was almost the negation of hardcore. While the genre was, by definition, rather loose, bands that fell into the category during the 1990s included: San Francisco's Jawbreaker, with Unfun (1990); Oregon's Heatmiser, the group of songwriter Elliott Smith and bassist Sam Coomes (formerly of Donner Party), with Dead Air (1993); Los Angeles' Weezer, the most successful of the batch, with Weezer (1994).

  • Testimony of Mac Mccaughan Co
    Testimony of Mac McCaughan Co-founder, Merge Records On the “Future of Radio” Hearing Senate Commerce Committee October 24, 2007 Testimony of Mac McCaughan, Merge Records October 24, 2007 Chairman Inouye, Senator Stevens and members of the committee, it is an honor to testify before you today at such a crucial hearing. My name is Mac McCaughan, and I’m the co-founder of Merge Records, an independent record label based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, that has released over 300 albums from the 60 bands on our roster over the past 20 years. I’m also a musician and a songwriter, with 11 full-length records released by my band Superchunk, and 6 albums I’ve recorded under the name Portastatic. Radio has always been very important to me. In fact, it has a lot to do with why I sit here today. Unlike any other medium, radio fosters a direct relationship between music and the listener. As a kid I went to sleep and woke up to the radio in an era when – even on album rock radio – the DJ was playing his or her favorite new records. Then, at the age of 12, college radio exposed me to music that I had never heard on top 40 or album rock stations. The music I discovered then set me on the course of making music myself and starting a record label. And since that time, as both a performer and a label owner, I have relied on radio as an essential component of the work we do helping audiences learn about our music.

  • {PDF EPUB} Our Noise the Story of Merge Records the Indie Label
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Our Noise The Story of Merge Records the Indie Label That Got Big and Stayed Small by John Cook Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records, the Indie Label That Got Big and Stayed Small by John Cook. There is a certain innocence contained in Our Noise that simply cannot be faked. In short, it’s the story of a group of kids in North Carolina that simply got together and made some music; nothing more, and nothing less. Some of them knew how to write songs, some couldn’t even play an instrument, but friends (and friends of friends) inevitably got wrapped up into Mac McCaughan’s crazy world of off-kilter rock, all of them forming bands and making singles that had no potential to get played on any radio station whatsoever. Then again, making “hits” wasn’t the point: they were making music for fun, and Merge Records — which distributed all of the 7″ singles from all these side-projects — was a label that was born more out of necessity than anything else: when a small group of those North Carolina bands decided to release a bunch of their songs together in a cheaply-made box set called evil I do not… (featuring the likes of the Angels of Epistemology, Wwax, and the Slushpuppies — the latter of which was McCaughan’s first band), they formed a small one-off label called Palindrome Productions. Shortly thereafter, Mac’s friend (and later Superchunk bassist) Laura Ballance got in on the act as well and, with little fanfare, Merge Records was born.

The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that Diamond Multimedia's Rio player does not, as the RIAA claimed, violate the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. The RIAA's appeal was the result of alower-court ruling that rejected the organization's October lawsuit, which alleged that the player violated the 1992 law. The Act requires makers of digital audio recorders to use technology that prevents the re-record- ing of copyrighted music. The court stated that the Act does not apply to the Rio player, because the device does not function primarily as a recorder. The court also said that the players were exempt from the Act since the digital files that Rio downloads come from computer hard drives, and not directly from DATs or CDs.

  • A Guide to Essential American Indie Rock (1980 – 2005)
    SOUND RECORDING REVIEWS EDITED BY RICK ANDERSON A Guide to Essential American Indie Rock (1980 – 2005) Vincent J. Novara and Stephen Henry1 Indie rock is a genre of popular music presently attaining more commercial appeal and academic investigation than at any point in its relatively short history. The term “indie rock” was first introduced around 1980 in the United Kingdom where the first charts for independent artists were compiled.2 The genre remains somewhat vaguely defined, but its practitioners are generally characterized by some degree of separation from the business practices and creative control of the large corporations operating major labels. Indie rock is more difficult to define in strictly musical terms, as it contains many subgenres that embrace rock music and other divergent styles equally.3 However, while independence from major labels is of fundamental importance to indie rock, this factor alone is not enough to fully describe the genre.4 Partly as a result of the impulse to remain independent of mainstream expectations, a distinct indie rock sound has developed.5 The hallmarks of this sound 1 Vincent J.
