  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

At one level the class will survey trends and styles in rock, focusing first on the artists and groups who gave rise to this hybrid form of music from its country and blues roots. It will then track the rise of rock and roll in the 1950s and the corporate, political, and social backlash against it. The focus on the 1960s will be on music as an expression and extension of the social, cultural, and political changes of that decade. Finally, the class will examine the paradoxical developments of the evolution of music videos (read: MTV) with the emergence of an abrasive, often angry music (read: punk/grunge/rap) by the end of the 1970s and into the 1990s. In the end, this class will examine and explain the technological, business, and social forces that helped cement rock’s position in Western popular culture. At another, deeper level, by placing this tradition of popular music in its historic context, the class will look at the problematic and interrelated issues of music, business, politics, gender, race, class, and culture in the postwar era.

  • Curiosity Guide #308 Candy Science
    Curiosity Guide #308 Candy Science Accompanies Curious Crew, Season 3, Episode 8 (#308) Pop Rocks Inflation Investigation #6 Description Find out how Pop Rocks work in this sweet investigation! Materials Package of Pop Rocks Balloon Funnel Full 16-ounce bottle of soda Spoon Table Procedure 1: Use all Pop Rocks minus one 1) Open the package of Pop Rocks. 2) Remove one large Pop Rock from the bag. Set both the package and the large Pop Rock aside. 3) Place the narrow end of the funnel into the neck of a deflated balloon. 4) Pour the Pop Rocks from the package into the funnel so that the Pop Rocks fall into the balloon. Save the large Pop Rock for later. 5) Keep the balloon bag of Pop Rocks to the side, and stretch just the neck of the balloon over the top of the bottle. 6) Carefully lift the balloon bag up so that the Pop Rocks fall into the soda. 7) What happens? Procedure 2: Experiment with the large Pop Rock 8) Place the large Pop Rock on the table. 9) Use the back of the spoon to carefully press down on the Pop Rock until the shell cracks. Could you hear the pop from the releasing carbon dioxide gas? My Results Explanation When Pop Rocks are made, the boiled sugar, lactose, corn syrup, and flavoring mixture is pumped with pressurized carbon dioxide gas. The gas is pressurized at 600 pounds of pressure per square inch! The candy is thus filled with high-pressure carbon-dioxide gas bubbles. Normally, when you place a Pop Rock on your tongue, part of the shell begins to dissolve.

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

  • One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and Their Fans
    One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Annie Lyons TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2020 __________________________________________ Renita Coleman Department of Journalism Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Hannah Lewis Department of Musicology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Annie Lyons Title: One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Supervising Professors: Renita Coleman, Ph.D. Hannah Lewis, Ph.D. Boy bands have long been disparaged in music journalism settings, largely in part to their close association with hordes of screaming teenage and prepubescent girls. As rock journalism evolved in the 1960s and 1970s, so did two dismissive and misogynistic stereotypes about female fans: groupies and teenyboppers (Coates, 2003). While groupies were scorned in rock circles for their perceived hypersexuality, teenyboppers, who we can consider an umbrella term including boy band fanbases, were defined by a lack of sexuality and viewed as shallow, immature and prone to hysteria, and ridiculed as hall markers of bad taste, despite being driving forces in commercial markets (Ewens, 2020; Sherman, 2020). Similarly, boy bands have been disdained for their perceived femininity and viewed as inauthentic compared to “real” artists— namely, hypermasculine male rock artists. While the boy band genre has evolved and experienced different eras, depictions of both the bands and their fans have stagnated in media, relying on these old stereotypes (Duffett, 2012). This paper aimed to investigate to what extent modern boy bands are portrayed differently from non-boy bands in music journalism through a quantitative content analysis coding articles for certain tropes and themes.

  • Chapter 2: Pop-Rock of the 50S and 60S
    The Development of Rock & Roll by Dr. Daniel Jacobson © 2016 All Rights Reserved CHAPTER 2 POP-ROCK OF THE 50S AND 60S INTRODUCTION Softer “pop” music styles have played important roles in the development of rock, especially from c1953 to 1966 and in the early 70s. Various pop-related styles in the 50s and early 60s include: • Doo-Wop (1950s and early ‘60s; combined Pop, Gospel and soft R & B elements) • Teen Idol “Crooners” (late ‘50s/early ‘60s; Dick Clark early rock era; soft R & B) • Surf Music (late ‘50s/early ‘60s) • Brill Building/Aldon Music (‘60s pop; extension of “Tin Pan Alley” tradition) • Early Motown (early 1960s; “Soul-pop” music) I. THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD IN 50s ROCK During the years 1957 to 1961, Rock & Roll lost the impact of at least ten of its most prominent trendsetters. • March 1956: While on his way to perform for The Perry Como Show in New York City, Carl Perkins was involved in a car crash in which he suffered a fractured shoulder and skull. Perkins lost his chance for major fame, and was soon overshadowed by the rise of Elvis Presley. • October 1957: Little Richard renounced Rock and Roll for the ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. • November 1957: Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old third cousin (while “forgetting” to divorce his first wife.) The scandal that followed destroyed his career. • March 1958: Elvis Presley was drafted into the army, serving in Germany until 1960. • February 1959: a small-plane crash near Fargo, North Dakota killed Buddy Holly, J.P.

  • Pop and Rock
    Week 9: Pop and rock 200512 Recap: use of blues scale and 3-chord progression in pop and rock , Beatles’ British invasion expanded content and harmonies for development of pop/rock music The majority of pop and rock musicians have no formal academic music education, so can’t read music/write down the notes à why improv plays such a big part in jazz and blues. Ear, skills and practical knowledge is the highest authority in the realm of popular music. Features of popular music • In pop music, all types of chord changes are allowed (unlike in strict classical music). However, stereotypical chordal progressions are often used o E.g. C, G, Am, F; or variant Am, F, C, G • Structure of AABAB or AABABCB (or variations of verse-chorus-verse-chorus) o E.g. track HELP! Using AABAB structure • Harmony in pop music is often based on triads and 7th chords o Triad à chord consisting of 3 notes o 7th chords à chord consisting of 4 notes; trial + 7th interval o Jazz also uses 9th, 11th, 13th chords • Use of drone (e.g. track Say Something having rhythmic drone all throughout song) • Ostinato is present everywhere à repetition of short phrases provides catchiness Connection between pop/rock and traditional music • Pop/rock groups often create songs themselves, unlike classical genre in an orchestral setting where the composer has created the music o Therefore pop/rock tend to have less specialization à the musician writes, entertains, arranges, etc. o Classical music: composer writes, conductor leads, each part in orchestra plays a different part that has already been dictated • Pop/rock is similar to traditional where there is a collaborative sense in writing music together o There is no barrier between performer and audience in traditional music; participation is encouraged o Similar to pop/rock music, where bands during the concert actively encourage audience to dance or sing along to the performance; not strictly divided compared to classical à only can clap during very specific times § E.g.
