Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • James Taylor: Making Music and Memories by John Fries

    James Taylor: Making Music and Memories by John Fries

    Pittsburgh Boomers | August 2005 James Taylor: Making Music and Memories By John Fries If you went to high school during the 1970's, as I did, you'll recall a lot of really great music -- on the radio, in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and on the eight track tapes you punched into your car dashboards at night while driving around. While the musical landscape offered something for everyone, much of it seemed to fall into two distinct categories: straight-ahead rock and top 40 pop. Here in Pittsburgh, we were either tuned to Trevor Ley playing Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd on 'DVE or listening to the "New Sound of 13Q," which played a wide and eclectic mix of whatever was in the top 40 at the time. The top hits of the day were listed each week in the pocket-sized "hit parades" KQV and 13Q published and provided for free in local record stores. The list could include any combination of rock, power pop, country, rhythm and blues, vocalists, the occasional novelty record, and that 70's radio staple known as the singer-songwriter. Remember them? The mellow music makers who played guitar or piano, wrote meaningful, introspective lyrics, and served up gentle melodies? The singer-songwriter sections of our 45 collections included titles by such artists as Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Paul Simon and a West Coast band of country rock upstarts called the Eagles. Although they were - and are -- all great artists, James Taylor became the undisputed king of the genre.

As the curtains opened last Wednesday night he stood with no violin, but instead playing keyboards. It wasn’t until he picked up his unusually shaped electric violin that I felt completely involved in his music. There was satisfaction in seeing Ponty perform after hearing what I always thought was possibly a violin but was never quite sure in many cases. Being able to see Ponty playing his violin gave a sense of the inventiveness and originality of his music. Armed also with a full backup band, Ponty • was very successful in presenting music that seemed to be 8 much less effective on his latest albums. j: The difference between Ponty’s performance of the title track “Open Mind” the night of the concert as opposed to • the recording was that there were people playing the 2 drums, bass and guitar instead of computers.

    Buddy Miller’s Majestic Silver Strings New West Records Buddy Miller, named Artist of the Decade by No Depression Magazine, teamed up with esteemed guitarists Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Greg Leisz to create The Majestic Silver Strings, a monumental musical experience to be released on CD, with bonus DVD, March 1, 2011 via New West Records. The Majestic Silver Strings, produced by Buddy, is his re-imagination of country songs, loaded with guitars, atmosphere and attitude. Guest vocalists on the album include Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Lee Ann Womack, Chocolate Genius, Ann McCrary and Julie Miller. Rounding out the band are Dennis Crouch on bass and Jay Bellerose on drums. The Majestic Silver Strings and the album’s guests are among the most well respected and in-demand current musicians. Making a record of this caliber was a dream and took luck of scheduling to make come true. A bonus DVD with concert footage of the first, and only performance to date with Buddy, Marc, Bill and Greg playing the tracks selected for this project, will be included with the CD. The musicians re-interpret classic country songs written by some of the most esteemed songwriters including Lefty Frizzell, Roger Miller and George Jones, whose hit “Why Baby Why” is sung by Buddy on the record. The band also tackles a few traditional compositions and several new songs including “God’s Wing’d Horse” written by Julie Miller and Bill Frisell. Many projects boast one guest vocalist; Buddy has six revered friends lending their voices to the recording including Emmylou Harris on “Why I’m Walkin’” and Lee Ann Womack on “Meds.” Buddy also does a duet of “I Want To Be With You Always” with Patty Griffin.

Tickets are priced at $55 and $75 for gold circle seats (first four rows, center section) and are on sale now at the Riverwalk Center Ticket Office, by phone at 970-547-3100 or online at breckcreate.org. John Hiatt's career as a performer and songwriter has spanned more than 30 years and everyone from Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, BB King, Bonnie Raitt, and Iggy Pop has covered his work. The Los Angeles Times calls him “…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years,” after the release of his newest album Terms Of My Surrender, last summer via New West Records. Hiatt, a master lyricist and satirical storyteller, weaves hidden plot twists into fictional tales ranging in topics including redemption, relationships, growing older and surrendering, on his terms. This new record is musically rooted in acoustic blues, accentuated by Hiatt’s soulful, gritty voice, which mirrors the gravity of his reflective lyrics.

    NAMI NJ Dara Axelrod Expressive Arts 2018 Mental Health Poetry Contest - Top Ten My victory song [1st Place] By Megha Sood My heart parts its lips utter something pure and divine like the moon in its reverie you ask "What's my song" I laugh and smile with beauty imbued with the fluttering of the butterfly wings so sublime; My heart though brimming with pain and anxiety but ready for its encore every time. My love is boundless like a star-spangled sky covering every iota of my soul; gives me the sustenance clears out the wool and webbing from my disordered thinking and makes me feel alive once more. I adorn the scars as victory marks and leaves the bloody trails as maps, who follow; Pushed and shoved aside for reasons unknown I thrash like a juggernaut crashing and crumbling the voices which pull me down I simply ignore. Waving my victory flag so fervently and singing my song under my bated breath; Here I come to conquer the uncharted waters of my life with a roar. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! NAMI NJ Dara Axelrod Expressive Arts 2018 Mental Health Poetry Contest - Top Ten ! More Than Words [2nd Place] By Laurie Goldman I tried to make the piano scream last night. I struck the keys so hard, that I could feel my fingers bruising more and more, with each passing measure. In that moment, I don’t think I cared if they broke, because, I needed my song to be heard. Ironic thing was, It wasn’t even “my song”. It was a cover of “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones, and, at this particular open mic, I had decided, last minute, that Mick Jagger’s lyrics needed to be heard, because, I needed to hear them.
