  • Mass Manslaughter: but Less Than a Felony,Sometimes an Ear Is Just an Ear: Baylies Band Releases Freudian Ears,RIP Andy Gill &Am
    Spring Growth: New albums and local shows kick the season off right The Z-Boys – Elwood Here’s (I’m assuming) a Motif exclusive: Elwood, the sophomore album from Newport’s The Z-Boys, hits the streets March 6. They’re a band known for their high-energy performances. With tempos and influences all over the place, it’s like a dump truck careening along the edge of a canyon road. Fans will be pleased that the new album manages to keep much of the mayhem intact. You may be familiar with the brand of “everything overload” the Newport band pours into the cauldron, throwing in blues rock, surf, Latin, country and more. Distilling a dynamic live band into an album format can be difficult. Studio constraints have the Z-Boys a bit more restrained, but without a lot of production fluff. “You Lie” is familiar blues rock territory about lying, cheating, etc, and “Don’t Have to Hang Around” is a folk-Mariachi tune mixed with a pleasant country vibe. “Too Slow” is a Steely Dan-like shuffle with a barrage of drum fills, and “Wanna Be Sure” features chunky, arena rock power chords. The downside with the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink method is there’s no real standout track. Elwood has the expected guitar fireworks present in every song, along with rock solid, tasteful bass playing. The drumming is enthusiastic if not overbearing at times, like Keith Moon on Lite Rock 105. I think the best times are when they just fuckin’ go for it full bore without bothering with a melody.

    l Research Article Music & Science Volume 3: 1–14 ª The Author(s) 2020 Content and Correlational Analysis Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions of a Corpus of MTV-Promoted Music DOI: 10.1177/2059204320902369 Videos Aired Between 1990 and 1999 journals.sagepub.com/home/mns Brad Osborn , Emily Rossin and Kevin Weingarten Abstract From 1990 to 1999 MTV promoted a series of 288 music videos called “Buzz Clips”, designed to highlight emerging artists and genres. Such promotion had a measurable impact on an artists’ earnings and record sales. To date, the kinds of musical and visual practices MTV promoted have not been quantitatively analyzed. Just what made some videos Buzzworthy, and others not? We applied two phases of content analysis to this corpus to determine the most common sonic and visual signifiers in Buzz Clips, then processed the results of that content analysis using polychoric correlations. Our findings show high degrees of shared variance between certain pairs of musical and visual elements observed in the sample music videos. We interpret a number of these relationships in terms of their relevance to a performer’s perceived ethnicity and gender, showing how certain audiovisual features regularly accompany white men (e.g., electric guitar) while others regularly accompany women and performers of color (e.g. drum machines). Keywords Buzz Clips, content analysis, correlational analysis, MTV, music video Submission date: 18 April 2019; Acceptance date: 7 January 2020 Introduction itself recorded the complete list of such videos on a now- defunct website.3 Table 1 shows the metadata for all videos Recent research in music videos has applied a number of analyzed in our corpus, including artist, video title, month distinct approaches from different academic disciplines, of premiere, and peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 especially popular music,1 film and media studies (Caston, chart (if applicable).
