  • Spoon Schonebergkonzerte
    KONZERTBÜR O PRESSEMITTEILUNG VOM 08.12.2017 Konzertbüro Schoneberg GmbH Amtsgericht Münster · HRB 3232 USt.-ID-Nummer: DE126111533 Geschäftsführer: Till Schoneberg Spoon www.schoneberg.de schonebergkonzerte 2018 auf Deutschlandtournee „Hot Thoughts“ (2017), das mittlerweile neunte Album von Spoon, ist das wohl mutigste und klanglich innovativste Werk ihrer Kariere, selbst wenn man Britt Daniels diverse andere Outputs hinzunimmt. Mit Respekt für ihre bisherigen Erfolge, die die Band sowohl bei Kritikern beliebt, als auch finanziell erfolgreich gemacht hat, radiert „Hot Thoughts“ doch eben alle bisher vorgefertigten Meinungen über die US-amerikanische Band aus. Das bedeutet zwar nicht, dass es nicht immer noch eine hohe Dichte an einnehmenden Ohrwürmern auf dem neuen Album gibt (es sind ja immer noch Spoon, über die wir hier reden - auch wenn „Hot Thoughts“ das erste Album ohne Akustik-Gitarre ist) – aber ihren textlichen Bogen spannen sie nun von sinnlich bis listig, während sie nach all den Experimenten der Vergangenheit ihren Sound zwischen den Genre-Stühlen gefunden haben. Anerkennung sollte man auch dem Produzenten Dave Fridmann zollen, dessen Magie in Cassadaga, New York der Band noch einen diabolischen Glanz verleihen konnte. Ohne Frage kann man schon die bisherige Discographie von Spoon bzw. Britt Daniel, Drummer Jim Eno, Bassist Rob Pope und Alex Fischel vom Debüt „Telephono“ aus dem Jahr 1996, über „A Serie Of Sneaks“ (1998), „Girls Can Tell“ (2001), „Kill The Moonlight“ (2002), „Gimme Fiction“ (2005), „Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga“ (2007), „Transference“ (2010) und „They Want My Soul“ (2014) als einzigartige Gewinnserie bezeichnen, aber dennoch ragt hier „Hot Thoughts“ als neues, futuristisches Kapitel im Schaffen der US-Amerikaner heraus.

Released as a limited edition of 500 LPs in 1992, the album featured handmade covers and blank labels to keep expenses as low as possible. Their other albums hadn’t sold much, why would this one? As fate would have it, the band wound up releasing an album chock full of gems Pollard had stockpiled, and for the first time sounded distinctly like the band that fans have since come to love. "Propeller" also marks the return of Tobin Sprout to the GBV fold, along with an increased songwriting presence. "Propeller" is a hell of a ride, and remains one of the most important albums in the band's discography.

  • Jim Eno – Producer/Mixer/Engineer/Musician
    Jim Eno – Producer/Mixer/Engineer/Musician Anyone familiar with the touring schedule of Spoon will be shocked to see how many artists have benefited from Spoon founding member Jim’s production ear. But it is that same work ethic combined with his finely tuned engineering skills, mastered at his own Public Hi-Fi Studios, that he has lent to the many artists he’s worked with over the years. A quick internet search will reveal how highly Jim is regarded in the hotbed music scene of his hometown of Austin TX & beyond but you won’t find Jim talking himself up, he’s more interested in making great music and letting the records do the talking for him.

E notavamo come il livello medio fosse piuttosto alto, anche se mai altissimo. Il 2005 è andato oltre le previsioni: mai come l'anno scorso abbiamo dovuto fare i conti con una quantità così ingente di dischi, soprattutto di nomi nuovi o comunque non ancora affermati. Quel che è aumentato, rispetto ad uno, ma ancor più rispetto a cinque o a dieci anni fa, non sembra essere il maggior numero di uscite, ma il maggior numero di dischi a cui più facilmente possiamo accedere. Un tempo stilare una classifica dei migliori dischi dell'anno poteva diventare difficoltoso. Stavolta le 50 posizioni sono parse ridotte a più di un votante.

  • Get Listenin' Kids!': Independence As Social Practice in American Popular Music" Why Is This Research Being Done? This Is a Research Project Being Conducted by J
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “GET LISTENIN’ KIDS!”: INDEPENDENCE AS SOCIAL PRACTICE IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC Laura Beth Schnitker, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor J. Lawrence Witzleben Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology School of Music, University of Maryland This dissertation examines the concept of independence—defined as alternative approaches to the creation, distribution and consumption of music that actively resist cultural hegemonies—as an ongoing tradition in American popular music. While previous studies of independence have focused on specific independent record labels or eras, this project views independence as a historical trajectory that extends to the beginnings of the recording industry. Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of the social field frames my investigation of the ways in which independence becomes socially and musically manifested in communities of musicians, mediators and audiences. I explore how these communities articulate their distinction within the dominant music industry by responding to the social and aesthetic chasms created by the centralization of media. This study is divided into two sections. The first focuses on independent record labels and local radio broadcasts in the first half of the twentieth century, when “independent” referred to either a record label that distributed outside major label channels, or a radio station unaffiliated with a network. In the second section, I show how the modern concept of independence became more overtly political with the emergence of the punk movement of the late 1970s. I follow the subsequent development of independent underground networks in the 1980s through their present-day fragmentation in twenty-first century internet culture. I conclude with an ethnographic examination of independent music performances in order to show that, while independence remains situated in ideas about community, authenticity and autonomy, it is subjectively understood and constructed by individual members of independent communities.
