Wien, im Jänner 2012 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 300 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Politikwissenschaft Betreuer: ao. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Roman Horak 1 2 Acknowledgments This diploma thesis has been ubiquitous for me during the last three years; many people have contributed to it in many different ways, and I want to thank them for their help and support. I want to thank my supervisor, Roman Horak, for his advice, help and patience. My parents, Martin and Viviane Spiegel, have been supporting me ceaselessly throughout my studies. So have Rudolf and Susanne Ruthensteiner and Maria Spiegel. Without their aid, and that of my entire family, I wouldn’t have been able to finish this thesis. Christina Lutter offered invaluable advice and reassurance. Irene Revell, Holly Ingleton and the LCC Archive and Special Collections Centre staff helped me carry out research and gave advice thereon at London’s Her Noise Archive, an important institution that I want to recommend. Jeanette Leech took the time to meet me in Sheffield to discuss both her own project, Seasons They Change: The Story of Acid, Psych and Experimental Folk, and my thesis. Of course, without my interviewees, there would be no thesis. Phil McMullen, Eric Arn, Spencer Clark, Labanna Bly and Paul LaBrecque, Samara Lubelski, Karl Bauer, Matt Valentine, Ron Schneiderman, Natalie Mering, Eric Carbonara, Tara Burke, Mike Tamburo, Jeffrey Alexander and Miriam Goldberg, Eva Saelens, Evan Caminiti, Glenn Donaldson, Sharon Cheslow, Chris Moon, Britt Brown, Christina Carter, Pete Nolan, David Keenan and Heather Leigh Murray all proved to be generous and open-minded interviewees, often giving hints and help even beyond the actual interview, helping me set up further interviews and / or providing me with food and music.
