  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

Examensuppsats Vt 11 Kulturvetenskap Oskar Johansson Abstract Om jag hade en röst skulle jag sjunga: relationen mellan skogen och identiteten i musikvideor av Fever Ray och Iamamiwhoami. Oskar Johansson. Kultur & Medier. Examensarbete i Kulturvetenskap. Konst kultur och kommunikation. Området för kultur och samhälle. Malmö högskola. Vt 11. Handledare Linda Fagerström. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur skogen kan användas för att gestalta en bild av identiteten. För att göra det analyseras musikvideor av Fever Ray och Iamamiwhoami. Gestaltningen består av två noveller. I dessa undersöks relationen till skogen på ett mer individuellt plan. Metoden är mer sökande än teoretiserande. Uppsatsen analyserar musikvideor ur ett genusperspektiv, som bilder och metaforer. Teoretiker som används är bland annat Jean Baudrillard, Timothy Morton och Judith Butler. Från deras teorier undersöks vilka värderingar och antaganden som kan sägas ligga till grund för representationen av identiteten och skogen. Resultatet är bilden av en värld som är splittrad och ovillig att komma till konkreta ståndpunkter. Å ena sidan visar musikvideorna individer som arbetar med kulturellt betingade bilder av genus och skogen och försöker göra dem till sina egna. Å andra sidan syns en vilja att röra sig bort från dem.

As the chart-topping pair continued to bandy the summer anthem about, they also teamed up with some of the region’s most acclaimed pop behemoths, including Stargate (the Norwegian production duo behind Rihanna’s biggest hits) and Blanco and Shellback (responsible for hits by Britney Spears and Ke$ha), to lay down their debut record. And the pair aren’t the only act from the area ascending into commercial success. Online music buffs The Line of Best Fit have long been championing the Scandinavian scene. Swedish imports NONONO were initially signed to the publication’s label, releasing the trio’s much-hyped debut ‘Like the Wind’ in early May last year – only to get snapped up by major label juggernaut Warner Bros shortly after. With their penchant for irresistible choruses and I No No No inspired melodies, the band’s track ‘Sacred’ also made it onto Kitsuné Maison Compilation; the French electronica label’s 15th instalment of the series. Similarly, highlighted by Kitsuné’s annual mix, Scandinavian sisters Say Lou Lou picked up mainstream attention following their hook-up with the label, and went on late last year to make their major label debut with ‘Better in the Dark’ on Columbia Records. It would seem labels of late don’t have to look farther than the Scandinavian shores to find the next innovative take on popular WANT music. So what is it that inspires such a wealth of home-grown talent, and since when did Scandi-pop just become de-facto standard for cool? Scandinavia hasn’t always been synonymous with cool.
