  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • {PDF EPUB} Pogue Mahone Kiss My Arse the Story of the Pogues by Carol Clerk Pogue Mahone Kiss My Arse: the Story of the Pogues by Carol Clerk
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Pogue Mahone Kiss My Arse The Story of the Pogues by Carol Clerk Pogue Mahone Kiss My Arse: The Story of the Pogues by Carol Clerk. The Introduction is available here. Enjoy. Carol Clerk, former News Editor of Melody Maker , has turned her attention to The Pogues. She’s interviewed Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy, Jem Finer, Philip Chevron, Darryl Hunt, Andrew Ranken, James Fearnley, Terry Woods, and various colleagues, friends and fans. This intimate look behind the music describes their arguments, drunken spats, love affairs, the marriage of Cait and Elvis Costello, the death of Kirsty MacColl, the illnesses, the drugs, the sackings, the legal actions and through it all their passion for music. The book was released in the United Kingdom in October, 2006. ISBN 1.84609.008.3. Published by Omnibus Press. Pogue Mahone Kiss My Arse: The Story of the Pogues by Carol Clerk. He looks up from the dinner he’s been picking at, drops his knife with an enormous clang, and stares an unblinking, pale-blue stare that’s accusing, terrifying. Shane MacGowan has forgotten all about our appointment, the one we arranged in a phone call two days ago. He has forgotten everything he’s been told by various other Pogues who for weeks, helpfully, have been suggesting to him that he might co-operate with this biography. Certainly, he has forgotten the trail of false starts and aborted interviews that have littered the way to our meeting here this evening. The instructions had been vague enough to be worrying: “I’ll be in The Boogaloo on Thursday night.” “Somewhere between nine o’clock and midnight.” The Boogaloo, described by GQ magazine as “the sweetest little juke-joint in all the world”, is a pub and a venue for live music and literary celebration, high up in north London on the Archway Road.

  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

In a world where music has become increasingly sanitized and unable to venture beneath the surface clichés of human emotion, Shane’s songs stand out in ever greater relief. None has bared their soul like Shane McGowan. His unique ability to plumb the dark recesses of the human soul, while in the very same breath celebrating its capacity to find healing transcendence, in both love and the sublime mysteries of existence, goes a long way to making sense of who we actually are.

  • «Sexo, Pájaros, Vida, Muerte»: Razones Por Las Que Shane Macgowan Dice Cosas Importantes
    «Sexo, pájaros, vida, muerte»: razones por las que Shane MacGowan dice cosas importantes Shane MacGowan. Foto: Getty. Para acompañar la lectura del artículo, nuestra lista en Spotify: Enterrada bajo botellas de whisky, pintas de cerveza, la tradición musical de una pequeña isla atlántica, lecturas intempestivas de Joyce y O’Casey, y la furia de la generación posterior al punk, la voz de Shane MacGowan todavía inquieta, todavía conmueve. Todavía dice lo importante. El que fuera una vez armandanzas deThe Pogues, la auténtica insurgencia (ebria) de Irlanda, se explicaba en entrevista no hace mucho: sus canciones, como las canciones folk y como la vida en general, tratan de «temas recurrentes». En concreto, de «sexo, pájaros, vida, muerte, sexo, pájaros, vida, muerte». MacGowan, irlandés nacido en Londres,folkie pervertido por el punk, poeta rebelde y bebedor ilustrado, también ha contribuido a «crear una nueva expresión poética» dentro de una «gran tradición de la canción». En su caso, la canción de la tierra de William Butler Yeats y Brendan Behan. | 1 «Sexo, pájaros, vida, muerte»: razones por las que Shane MacGowan dice cosas importantes El año pasado Shane MacGowan recontruyó su dentadura. Desaparecía un icono, la boca desordenada de pirata que escupía letanías de amor y desesperación, historias de vencidos y peripecias al margen de la ley burguesa. Aquellos dientes se habían ido pudriendo a medida que avanzaba la década de los ochenta y The Pogues, segunda banda de MacGowan trasThe Nipple Erectors, hacían buena la máxima de su líder: «El alcohol es el camino a la sabiduría». Escritor beodo, el autor de «Fairytale in New York», tal vez su composición más radiada, afirmaba que sus canciones a menudo aparecían de la mano de Dioniso.
