  • Swedish Pop Mafia: How a Culturally Conservative Effort in the 1940S Backfired to Create the Greatest Engine of Pop Music in the World
    Swedish Pop Mafia: How a culturally conservative effort in the 1940s backfired to create the greatest engine of pop music in the world BY WHET MOSER • March 24, 2014 • At some point over the last 15 years—sometime, say, between the 1999 release of “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys and last year’s “Roar” by Katy Perry—it became an inescapable fact that if you want to understand American pop music, you pretty much have to understand Sweden. Songwriters and producers from Stockholm have buttressed the careers of Lady Gaga, Madonna, Usher, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, Pitbull, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, and any number of other artists you’ve probably listened to while dancing, shopping, making out, or waiting on hold over the past decade. (And it’s not just American pop music that has Scandinavian fingerprints all over it: When Azerbaijan won the Eurovision contest in a 2011 upset, they did it with a song written for them by two Swedes.) If Americans are aware of this phenomenon, it is probably because they’ve heard about the legendary Swedish producer and songwriter Max Martin. There are any number of ways to express Martin’s ubiquity, but here’s one: From 2010 to 2011, the pop idol Katy Perry spent an unprecedented 69 consecutive weeks in the Billboard top 10, surpassing the previous record-holder, the 1990s Swedish group Ace of Base, by four months. But the milestone was far more of a testament to Martin’s staying power than Perry’s: Not only did he help produce and write all but one of Perry’s record- breaking string of hits, but he began his career as a producer for Ace of Base.

    KOOKOO | 40 YEARS | 1981 - 2021 ARTWORK BY HR GIGER PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHRIS STEIN July 4 - October 31, 2021 Museum HR Giger is delighted to invite you to the exhibition KOOKOO | 40 YEARS In 1981, shortly after winning the Academy Award for Visual Effects for his work on “Alien” (1979), HR Giger collaborated with Debbie Harry to produce artwork for the cover of her debut solo album “KooKoo” (Chrysalis, 1981). Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein spent a few weeks at HR Giger’s home and studio in Zürich in 1981 to create videos for two of the album’s singles, “Backfired,” released July 1981 and “Now I Know You Know,” released later the same year. During the course of their stay, Chris Stein documented the process through hundreds of photographs capturing the creative process behind the scenes and Debbie Harry and HR Giger in candid moments. Many of these photographs have never been presented before in public. Museum HR Giger proudly presents the original artworks by HR Giger for the album cover as well as an extensive collection of Chris Stein’s original photographs and will also be showing a recently restored 1982 behind-the- scenes documentary film “A new Face of Debbie Harry” filmed by Fredi M. Murer. The exhibition will be open to the public July 4 - October 31, 2021. Debbie Harry, HR Giger, 1981 Photo by Chris Stein.

  • A Critique of the Transformative Fair Use Test in Practice and the Need for a New Music Fair Use Exception
    “Distinctive Sounds”: A Critique of the Transformative Fair Use Test in Practice and the Need for a New Music Fair Use Exception Kristin Bateman INTRODUCTION For centuries, copying a master or revered teacher has been the primary method for all artists—musicians, painters, sculptures, poets, playwrights, and the like—to learn their respective crafts.1 Copying and modifying the work of venerated artists has also been a traditional point of departure for new generations to innovate beyond the achievements of their predecessors.2 The Constitution gives Congress the power “[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts,”3 resulting in our modern regime of patent, trademark, and copyright law. Over time, however, this artistic tradition of copying has collided with more modern concepts of intellectual property rights, especially copyright protections.4 The advent of the internet as well as state-of-the-art recording and mixing software 1. See generally HAROLD BLOOM, THE ANXIETY OF INFLUENCE (2d ed. 1997). Poetic Influence—when it involves two strong, authentic poets—always proceeds by a misreading of the prior poet, an act of creative correction that is actually and necessarily a misinterpretation. The history of fruitful poetic influence, which is to say the main traditions of Western poetry since the Renaissance, is a history of anxiety and self-saving caricature of distortion, of perverse, willful revisionism without which modern poetry as such could not exist.

    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album.

It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.
