  • Does NME Even Know What a Music Blog Is?
    Does NME even know what a music blog is?: The Rhetoric and Social Meaning of MP3 Blogs by Larissa Wodtke A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English - Rhetoric and Communication Design Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 © Larissa Wodtke 2008 Author‘s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract MP3 blogs and their aggregators, which have risen to prominence over the past four years, are presenting an alternative way of promoting and discovering new music. I will argue that MP3 files greatly affect MP3 blogs in terms of shaping them as: a genre separate from general weblogs and music blogs without MP3s, especially due to the impact of MP3 blog aggregators such as The Hype Machine and Elbows; a particular form of rhetoric illuminated by Kenneth Burke's dramatistic ratios of agency-purpose, purpose-act and scene-act; and as a potentially subversive subculture, which like other subcultures, exists in a symbiotic relationship with the traditional media it defines itself against. Using excerpts from multiple MP3 blogs and their forums, interviews with MP3 bloggers and Anthony Volodkin (creator of The Hype Machine), references to MP3 blogs in traditional press, and Burke's theory of dramatism and Hodge and Kress's theories of social semiotics, I will demonstrate that the MP3 file is not only changing the way music is consumed and circulated, but also the way music is promoted and discussed.

  • Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-Rock, 1950–2019
    Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-rock, 1950–2019 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas J. Shea, M.A., B.Ed. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Anna Gawboy, Advisor and Dissertation Co-Advisor Nicole Biamonte, Dissertation Co-Advisor Daniel Shanahan David Clampitt Copyright by Nicholas J. Shea 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between guitar performance and the functional components of musical organization in popular-music songs from 1954 to 2019. Under an ecological theory of affordances, three distinct interdisciplinary approaches are employed: empirical analyses of two stylistically contrasting databases of popular-music song transcriptions, a motion-capture study of performances by practicing musicians local to Columbus, Ohio, and close readings of works performed and/or composed by popular- music guitarists. Each offers gestural analyses that provide an alternative to the object- oriented approach of standard popular-music analysis, as well as clarification on issues related to style, such as the socially determined differences between “pop” and “rock” music. ii Dedication To Anna Gawboy, who is always in my corner. iii Acknowledgments Here I face the nearly insurmountable task of thanking those who have helped to develop this research. Even as all written and analytical content in this document is my own, I cannot deny the incredible value collaboration has brought to this inherently interdisciplinary study. I am extremely fortunate to have a small team of individuals on which I can rely for mentorship and support and whose research backgrounds contribute greatly to the domains of this document.

  • Indie Mixtape 20 Is with Elissa Mielke, Who Is Planning to Get a Full Body Tattoo When She Turns 75
    :: View email as a web page :: St. Vincent is very well regarded critically and is one of the most popular indie artists working right now. But she’s always left me … a little cold. Here’s an honest question: Does she have jams? What’s a song of hers that’s just an undeniable banger? Her records are very well put together but … are they actually fun? Her music feels like it’s mostly conceptual window dressing. Take her latest, Daddy’s Home. If I was reviewing this album on paper, I’d be into it. Bowie, Sly Stone, '70s sleazy funk rock – I love all the music St. Vincent references. But as music that you have to eventually actually listen to, it’s not as vibrant as it should be. This is something that I think is true of every St. Vincent album — they’re immaculate sounding but it’s almost too immaculate. It’s a little airless and remote. Do you agree or am I off base? Check out our conversation about Daddy’s Home in the latest Indiecast visualizer below or right here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... Revisit all the past Indiecast visualizers over on YouTube. The latest episode of Indiecast also reviewed the new album The Black Keys, and nally discussed the latest group of post punk acts making waves in the indie scene. Liam Gallagher apparently hated Oasis' "Wonderwall" at rst.
