At least, Morrissey says he doesn't like pop promos, which is what counts. Rather than simply turn their backs on things flickering, however, they have commissioned Britain's Most Criminally Neglected Film Director, Derek Jarman, to make a short film based on their latest album, The Queen is Dead. 'The songs used are The Queen is Dead and There is a Light That Never Goes Out and current single Panic. Shot entirely on super 8, with assistance from fellow netherworld super 8 enthusiasts John Maybury, Richard Heslop and Christopher Hughes, the film is more an indication of the kind of pictures that Jarman will be turning out over the next couple of years than any sort of visual outing for The Smiths - the lads themselves do not appear. What does appear is a mesmeric impression of urban UK, trembling, stuttering and flashing colours and images you never saw on pop promos before. As an imaginative collision of perspectives, The Queen is Dead - The Motion Picture (no, of course it's not True Stories is the name of David Byrne's first feature film as director, made up really called that) is an engrossing work largely of unusual and significant true stories collec ted by Byrne out of that merits repeated viewing. As a newspapers - particularly ~he more oddball types of newspaper: t he World "promo" device, it will present the TV Weekly News, Texas Monthly, and The (American) Sun , as well, of course, as programmers with a few problems Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal. that are too easily solved by pleading True Srories - the film - won't be with us on this side of the Atlantic for a that the images are not "broadcast while yet, but here's the Book of the Film to whet the appetite.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

  • A-Ha to Return with New Album and Rio Spectacular for September 2015 and International Tour Dates for 2016
    PRESS RELEASE A-HA TO RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM AND RIO SPECTACULAR FOR SEPTEMBER 2015 AND INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES FOR 2016 Following on from the announcement that legendary Norwegian band a-ha are to reform to play the 30 th anniversary Rock in Rio music festival, the band are delighted to announce the release of a brand new studio album this autumn, with international tour dates to follow in 2016. The new album, Cast In Steel , will be the band’s tenth studio album, and the first new music by the group since the critical and commercial success of 2009’s Foot of the Mountain . Cast In Steel will be released on 4 th September 2015, three weeks before the band return to play the Rock in Rio music festival in Brazil, and thirty years since their debut single, Take on Me , reached number one around the world. * * * The Album When a-ha played the Oslo Spektrum in December 2010 to close the ‘Ending on A High Note – Farewell Tour’, it felt a definitive full-stop on the band’s activities. As Morten Harket says, ‘it has been a genuine and real disbanding. There has been no a-ha in the sense of the word during that time.’ For Morten, Paul Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen, the five- year break has allowed them to explore a rich seam of various creative projects, both musical and artistic. The return came about in a simple, organic way, as Paul explains: ‘it started off very easy and low-key with Morten dropping by my studio at various occasions, and I would show him songs that I was working on.

  • Norway's Efforts to Electrify Transportation
    Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation Nathan Lemphers Environmental Governance Lab Working Paper 2019-2 Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation EGL Working Paper 2019-2 September 2019 Nathan Lemphers, Research Associate Environmental Governance Lab Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto [email protected] Norway’s policies to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption have been highly successful. In 2017, 39 per cent of all new car sales in Norway were all-electric or hybrid, making it the world’s most advanced market for electric vehicles (IEA 2018). This high rate of EV ownership is the result of 30 years of EV policies, Norway’s particular political economy, and significant improvements in EV and battery technology. This paper argues that Norway’s sustained EV policy interventions are not only starting to decarbonize personal transportation but also spurring innovative electrification efforts in other sectors such as maritime transport and short- haul aviation. To explain this pattern of scaling, the paper employs Bernstein and Hoffmann’s (2018) framework on policy pathways towards decarbonization. It finds political causal mechanisms of capacity building and normalization helped create a welcoming domestic environment to realize early uptake and scaling of electric vehicles, and subsequently fostered secondary scaling in other modes of transportation. The initial scaling was facilitated by Norway’s unique political economy. Ironically, Norway’s climate leadership is, in part, because of its desire to sustain oil and gas development. This desire steered the emission mitigation focus towards sectors of the economy that are less contentious and lack opposing incumbents.

  • VIDEO and POP Paul Morley
    May 1983 Marxism Today 37 VIDEO AND POP Paul Morley attention pop receives for multiples of wickedness, ridicule, discontent, eccentric­ ity, desire to thrive importantly in a genuinely popular context. Pop music can play a large part in the way numerous young people determine their right to desire and their need to question. It appeared that pop music's contem­ porary value was to be its creation or proposition of constant new values. Rock music — a period stretched from Elvis Presley to the last moment before The Sex Pistols coughed up Carry On Artaud — was easily appropriated by an establishment, the elegant apparatus of conservatism, that yearns for order. It was hoped that post-punk pop music, freed of the demands of over-excited hippies and usefully paranoiac, would evolve as some­ thing abstract, fluid, careering, irreverent, slippery, exaggerated — not on a revolu­ tionary mission, but non-static, not mean, a focus that supplies energy, as provocative and as changeable as essentially nostalgic twentieth century entertainment can be. A ringing variation. No destination, but a purpose. The video dumps us back into the most sinister part of the pop music game. In terms of pop as arousal the video takes us back to that moment before The Sex Pistols bawled louder than all the sur­ rounding banality. The moment of mundane disappointment. Some of us try an often brilliant best to resources can emerge that can help the The arrival, or at least the pop industry's prove to outsiders and cynics that pop audience release themselves from the misuse, of the video is a major reason, or music — what used to be known as rock unrelieving confinements of environment.

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.
