Marxism Today Merchandising, 16 St John Street, 6 LAYER FUTONS from £80 London EC1M4AY DOUBLE from £85 KING SIZE from £100 Name THE LISTENING UNION SUPPORTS THE LISTENING PA 17 MARXISM TODAY APRIL 1988 Everything But The Girl • Idlewild Trend-setters, lovers, idols of millions, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have constantly striven to bring unabridged sex and politics to the attention of a drowsy nation. Thrusting their heads once more through the mire of the pop industry, they arrive again with a new L.P of eleven wonderfully short songs, lovingly entitled "Idlewild". Recorded in London amid growing concerns that life was going on as normal it includes, for no apparent reason, their latest trendy single "These Early Days". Ben is heard to sing again, Tracey to sing even louder. The arrangements are spartan, the lyrics unprintable. At a recent United Nations Convention, a leading Head of State would only describe these new recordings as "impish and 'with it'". Too daring, too carefree, too naughty to take their rightful place in the polluted mainstream of modern popular music, Ben and Tracey ride on and on into the Valley of Death. Dare you hitch a ride with Everything But The Girl? They are so scary!

UK - 34 MARXISM TODAY APRIL 1988 1381-1988 THE POLL TAXES AND THE PEASANTS REVOLT 1988 will see the introduction of a Poll Tax for the first time since 1381. In the reign of King Richard II the tax caused an explosion of rage against the King's Government. Today, the proposed Community Charge is provoking a great debate about the future of local democracy - will it increase the democratic accountability of local politicians, or will it force the poor to 'abstain' from their voting rights while reducing the tax bills of the rich? Citisights' Poll Tax debate looks at the events of 1381 and 1988 from a historical point of view and from the viewpoint of the left, right and centre of modem politics to discover the real issues involved. Distinguised academics and politicians will debate the Poll Taxes and provide a unique forum for re-evaluating the past so as to plan for a better future. The cost of the day is £7.50 inclusive of tea and coffee. £6.50 for OAP's, UB40's and students.

We fell out. We made a mess. We draped ourselves in blame and disappointment and lurched around, bumping into each other. Some of us wailed and shouted; some of us barely made a sound. None of us was listening, or paying attention. And in the middle of it all you, very quietly, were gone. Helen and John are too preoccupied with making a mess of their marriage to notice the quiet ways in which their daughters are suffering. Junie grows up brittle and defensive, Anna difficult and rebellious. When fifteen-year-old Anna fails to come home one night, her mother's not too worried; Anna's taken off before but always returned. Helen waits three days to report her disappearance. But this time Anna doesn't come back .

  • Music Video Auteurs: the Directors Label Dvds
    i Music Video Auteurs: The Directors Label DVDs and the Music Videos of Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze. by Tristan Fidler Bachelor of Arts (With First Class Honours), UWA ’04. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia. English, Communication and Cultural Studies. 2008 ii MUSIC VIDEO AUTEURS ABSTRACT Music video is an intriguing genre of television due to the fact that music drives the images and ideas found in numerous and varied examples of the form. Pre-recorded pieces of pop music are visually written upon in a palimpsest manner, resulting in an immediate and entertaining synchronisation of sound and vision. Ever since the popularity of MTV in the early 1980s, music video has been a persistent fixture in academic discussion, most notably in the work of writers like E. Ann Kaplan, Simon Frith and Andrew Goodwin. What has been of major interest to such cultural scholars is the fact that music video was designed as a promotional tool in their inception, supporting album sales and increasing the stardom of the featured recording artists. Authorship in music video studies has been traditionally kept to the representation of music stars, how they incorporate post-modern references and touch upon wider cultural themes (the Marilyn Monroe pastiche for the Madonna video, Material Girl (1985) for instance). What has not been greatly discussed is the contribution of music video directors, and the reason for that is the target audience for music videos are teenagers, who respond more to the presence of the singer or the band than the unknown figure of the director, a view that is also adhered to by music television channels like MTV.

    Canongate is an independent publisher: since 1973 we’ve worked to unearth and amplify the most vital, exciting voices we can find, wherever they come from, and we’ve published all kinds of books – thoughtful, upsetting, gripping, beatific, vulgar, chaste, unrepentant, life-changing . Along the way there have been landmarks of fiction – including Alasdair Gray’s masterpiece Lanark, and Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, the best-ever-selling Booker winner – and non-fiction too. We’ve published an American president and a Guantanamo detainee; we’ve campaigned for causes we believe in and fought court cases to get our authors heard. And twice we’ve won Publisher of the Year. We’re still fiercely independent, and we’re as committed to unorthodox and innovative publishing as ever.

  • Ben Watt Biography
    BEN WATT BIOGRAPHY Ben Watt firs appeared in London in 1981 as a young nineteen-year-old experimental songwriter-singer-guitarist. 1982’s 5-tracK EP Summer into Winter featured Robert Wyatt. His early worK culminated in his sparse atmospheric debut album North Marine Drive (1983, UK Independent Album Chart, No 9). In 1983 he put solo plans on hold to perform and write full-time with Tracey Thorn in their recently-formed duo Everything But The Girl. The band stayed active until 2000, delivering twelve UK Top 40 singles, two platinum and seven gold UK Top 20 albums and one gold US album. 1995’s global hit Missing reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Top 100. The 1994 album Amplified Heart and the 1996 album WalKing Wounded - for which Watt was nominated as Best Producer at the Q Awards - each sold over a million copies. The duo’s career was dramatically interrupted for a year in 1992 by Watt’s drawn- out hospitalisation and near-death experience with a rare auto-immune disease Churg-Strauss Syndrome (aka EGPA) with which he now still lives - a period documented in his acclaimed 1996 memoir, Patient (New YorK Times Notable BooK of the Year; shortlisted for the Esquire Non-Fiction Award; Sunday Times BooK of the Year) Everything But The Girl quit on a high in 2000. Watt moved out of the mainstream into record production (Beth Orton), remixing (inc Sade, Maxwell, Meshell Ndegeocello), DJing and clubland. He co-launched the influential London day-night Sunday party and compilation series Lazy Dog (1998-2003) and was creative director, resident DJ and part-owner at west London night clubs Cherry Jam and Neighbourhood (2001-2003) before starting his own award-winning electronic record label and club night Buzzin' Fly in 2003.
