  • 6 Telegraph Road — for Me It's Nearly 4,000
    Telegraph Road — for me it’s nearly 4,000 mile long By Rick Astley Telegraph Road is certainly known to every member on the US side of the border and probably also by most who live in Canada . Although I didn’t know it at the time, long before I could reliably point to Detroit on a map, I was somewhat familiar with the road too. Back in the mid-80s, like most parents of teenagers, I would often have to ferry my eldest son to and from some activity or other, in our case, from our home in a small English village to the nearest town about 14 minutes away. Those 14 minutes are significant because it happened to be the same length as a track my son and I would love to play on the car’s cassette player, he on air guitar, me on dashboard drums, at a volume his mother wouldn’t have approved of. The track was called Telegraph Road and it was written and played by Dire Straits. The song’s length meant that it was never heard on the radio and the fact that it would often change mood, volume and tempo, made it impossible to dance to, so it was never played in clubs, or rather, discotheques as they were then known. The track, and Dire Straits’ music in general, became part of our father-son bonding. In fact years later, when my son was in college in Montreal, he bought tickets for my birthday to see the group at the Forum (at that time the Canadiens’ hockey arena).

CZECH (Under the Direction of John Weaver) ABSTRACT This project opens space for looking at the world in a musical way where “jamming” with music through playing and listening to it helps one resist a more standardized and dualistic way of seeing the world. Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.

  • Sultanes Del Ritmo
    SULTANES DEL RITMO principios de 1980, Dire Straits fue nominado a dos premios Grammys en la categoría Mejor Nuevo Artista y Mejor Performance Vocal Rock, Dúo o A Grupo por “Sultans Of Swing”. Tras el largo descanso, en julio volvieron al estudio para darle forma a su tercer álbum con producción de Jimmy Iovine y Mark Knopfler. El tiempo lejos de los escenarios les dio a los músicos otra pers- pectiva de las cosas y Dire Straits se encaminó hacia un destino de mayor com- plejidad musical. Making Movies se graba entre el 27 de junio y el 14 de agosto de 1980. Durante las sesiones, las tensiones entre los hermanos Knop- fler finalmente explotan y David deja la banda 15 por diferencias creativas con su hermano; el 25 de julio se anuncia a la prensa especializada del quiebre. Sid McGinnis en guitarra y Roy Bittan en teclados, ambos de E Street Band de Bruce Springteen, se suman a la banda para comple- tar la grabación del álbum. Por cuestiones nun- ca aclaradas, McGinnis, Bittan y David Knopfler no aparecen acreditados en el álbum. En el plano musical, Dire Straits refina su sonido y recupera buena par- te de la contundencia de la que álbum anterior carecía, volviendo nuevamente al sonido rockero nutrido de vitalidad y buenos arreglos. “Tunnel Of Love”, que abre la placa, es un buen ejemplo de ello. Mark Knopfler se muestra como un muy inspirado compositor, cantante y guitarrista en una época la que la músi- ca empezaba a enrarecerse por tantos ritmos bailables, sonidos artificiales y letras insulsas que solo iba a derivar en la decadencia de la música pop tal co- mo se la conocía hasta ese momento.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.
