  • “The Times They Are A-Changin'”: Flexible Meter and Text Expression in 1960S and 70S Singer-Songwriter Music by Nancy Eliz
    “The Times They Are A-Changin’”: Flexible Meter and Text Expression in 1960s and 70s Singer-Songwriter Music by Nancy Elizabeth Murphy B.Mus., The University of Western Ontario, 2003 M.A., The University of Western Ontario, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Nancy Elizabeth Murphy, 2015 Abstract The 1960s and 70s saw the flowering of the singer-songwriter style, which featured acoustic performances by artists who were the composers and lyricists of their own music. Reflecting their culture, their songs carried messages of personal and political significance. But their music is of technical as well as of social interest. Like classical art song, it often highlights lyrical meaning with various sorts of metric irregularities. In this dissertation, I closely analyze twenty-seven songs by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Joni Mitchell, and Cat Stevens, in order to characterize the metric style of their songwriting and demonstrate their use of meter as an expressive device. To describe meter in this music requires theories more flexible than those usually applied to groove-based music. The analyses in this dissertation draw not only from theories of meter as a hierarchy of beat streams, but also upon theories of metrical process and prosody, in order to create transcriptions, to describe precisely listeners' sensations of meter, and to propose expressive rationales for metric settings. As an introduction to the style and the theoretical issues, Chapter 1 considers the problems of conceiving of meter in the expressively timed context of Mitchell’s “The Fiddle and the Drum.” Chapter 2 examines the existing methods for analyzing meter in music and poetry, in order to find some productive ways to analyze this metrically fluctuant repertoire.

  • Slipknot – Iowa (2001)
    Slipknot – Iowa (2001) Album named after the band's home state of Iowa Bio of the band: Slipknot is a heavy-metal band consisting of nine members, all of whom are male, who became popular because of its extreme music and dramatic stage performances. This group was first formed in the late 1995 in the unlikely locale of Des Moines, IA. It had 3 percussionists, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a DJ, a sampler and a lead singer. Aside from their real names, members of the band are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8 and each of them also wears a mask, which they said is part of their personality, like an extension of their body. To explain that, all the group members believe that wearing the masks shows more of what they are like inside and what the music does to them inside. Members include: #1 Joey Jordon- drums (1995-2013) # 2 Paul Gray- bass (1995-2010) #3 Chris Fehn- percussion (1998– present) #4 Jim Root – guitar (1999 – present) #5 Craig Jones - samples (1996 – present) #6 Shawn Crahan -percussion (1995 – present) #7 Mick Thompson -guitar (1996 – present) #8 Corey Taylor - vocals (1997 – present) #9 Sid Wilson - DJ (1998 – present) Iowa Biography: The state of Iowa is probably best known as "the middle of nowhere." Most non-residents consider it the corn-and-pig-state, a geographical black hole. After a couple years of relentless touring in support of their self-titled breakthrough album, Slipknot regrouped to record Iowa, an ode to their home state that consolidates and punctuates everything that had garnered the band its cultish following.

  • Genocide: a Comprehensive Introduction Is the Most Wide-Ranging Textbook on Geno- Cide Yet Published
    ■ GENOCIDE Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is the most wide-ranging textbook on geno- cide yet published. The book is designed as a text for upper-undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a primer for non-specialists and general readers interested in learning about one of humanity’s enduring blights. Over the course of sixteen chapters, genocide scholar Adam Jones: • Provides an introduction to genocide as both a historical phenomenon and an analytical-legal concept. • Discusses the role of imperalism, war, and social revolution in fueling genocide. • Supplies no fewer than seven full-length case studies of genocides worldwide, each with an accompanying box-text. • Explores perspectives on genocide from the social sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science/international relations, and gender studies. • Considers “The Future of Genocide,” with attention to historical memory and genocide denial; initiatives for truth, justice, and redress; and strategies of intervention and prevention. Written in clear and lively prose, liberally sprinkled with illustrations and personal testimonies from genocide survivors, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is destined to become a core text of the new generation of genocide scholarship. An accompanying website (www.genocidetext.net) features a broad selection of supplementary materials, teaching aids, and Internet resources. Adam Jones, Ph.D. is currently Associate Research Fellow in the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University. His recent publications

  • Reclaiming Critical Analysis: the Social Harms of “Bitch”
    Reclaiming Critical Analysis: The Social Harms of “Bitch” BY SHERRYL KLEINMAN, MATTHEW B. EZZELL, AND A. COREY FROST Abstract The increasing use of “bitch” among women makes it harder to see links between the word and patriarchy. In pop culture and in everyday life, men and women use “bitch” as an epithet against women (and non-conventional men) as well as a means of expressing dominance over a person or object. Women who “reclaim” the term—by declaring themselves “bitches,” calling other women “bitches” in a friendly way, or using the term as a female-based generic—unwittingly reinforce sexism. Unlike the term “feminist,” which is tied to a movement for social change, “bitch” provides women only with false power, challenging neither men nor patriarchy. E USED TO BELIEVE that feminists found the term “bitch” unacceptable. Years ago, when one of us analyzed terms that make women invisible and men the norm—“freshman,” “chairman,” and “you guys”—she wrote, perhaps naively: “I’m not referring [in the case of sexist language] to such words as ‘bitch,’ ‘whore,’ and ‘slut.’ What I focus on instead are words that students Wconsider just fine: male (so-called) generics” (Kleinman 2000: 6). Unlike “you guys,” “bitch” is a slur; and there’s no doubt that the word has a female referent, and a non- human one at that.1 Feminists knew that women could act in mean-spirited ways, but we also knew that using “bitch” to describe them reinforced sexism. If women liked the feel of 1 We will focus on “bitch” in this paper, and make only passing references to “sluts” and “hos.” Some of our analysis could be applied to these terms as well.

Morris Day and the Time will be performing Tuesday, July 18, 2017 at the Stanislaus County Fair on the Bud Light Variety Free Stage. The concert will be hosted by KWIN and will begin at 8:30 p.m. The concert is free with the price of Fair admission. “This funk group will get our Fair guests dancing in no time,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “It will be a great way to celebrate the legacy of longtime collaborator Prince.” Morris Day played an essential role in the development of the iconic pop-funk sound of the 1980’s. His exuberant stage presence and colorful showmanship mirror that of longtime friend Prince. Day’s involvement with Prince traces back to 1980 when his composition “Party up,” originally recorded when he was a member of the Enterprise, was covered on Prince’s album “Dirty Mind.” As a founding member of Prince’s band the Time, Day remains a true funk trailblazer. He worked with the group until 1984 when he launched his solo career, before returning in the 1990’s. The Timegained popularity with feel-good tracks such as “Jerk Out” and “Jungle Love.” In fact, “Jungle Love” was featured in Prince’s 1984 film Purple Rain.

  • Losing Charlotte / Heather Clay.—1St Ed
    For Nick And gratia Jenny PROLOGUE CHARLOTTE WAS SPEAKING to her already. Not waiting there, in the dark, for Knox to crest out of sleep, but already talking, low and fast. Knox rubbed her ears, blinked, and tried to sit up. Her nightgown ticked against the sheet, making the brief flash of static that Knox thought of as “bed lightning”—Charlotte’s words. Charlotte had words that Knox tried to resist, but couldn’t. She was a shape, hunched over Knox and saying I’m going now, I’m meeting Cash, go back to sleep. Don’t go, Knox thought. But what she said was: Don’t tell me. I told you I don’t want to know. Stop telling me. It’s not like I’m having sex with him, Charlotte said. Shut up, Knox whispered. He hasn’t asked me. I think he’s scared. He’s only fifteen. Knox’s attempt to laugh quietly, incredulously, sounded like a hiss. So are you, she said. Charlotte wiggled her shoulders a little. Maybe tonight’s the night, she said. If I feel like it. You never know. Hold down the fort for me. Why are you acting like this, Knox said. Charlotte never answered questions like that. Why would she? She lifted herself off the bed, crossed the room, and let herself into the hall so quietly that Knox hated her even more, hated that her talent for stealth was just another admirable thing about her, among too many. Wish me luck, Charlotte said, her head appearing briefly around the jamb, then dissolving into the dark again.
