Retro Rewind: “London Calling” by The Clash Maxwell Patton August 3, 2020 Rock music in its various styles would in no way, shape, or form be what it is today without the influence of a certain British punk icon known as The Clash. Even though the band lays claim to one of the shortest lifespans in my Retro Rewind reviews (being active for only a decade), they have had a massive amount of influence on the rock realm with their distinctly political lyrics and driving, guitar-centered instrumentals. Their third record, by far their most popular, is the subject of my review today: the 1979 double album “London Calling,” which is viewed by many as a definitive album in the punk genre. Released on Dec. 14, 1979, the record contains 19 songs of varying styles and was supported by three singles: the title track “London Calling,” “Clampdown,” and “Train in Vain (Stand by Me).” The themes delved into throughout the album include unemployment, the usage of drugs, paranoia, and depression.

  • Mott the Hoople "Under Review" MVD Visual by Jonathan Mariante
    Mott The Hoople "Under Review" MVD Visual by Jonathan Mariante This is an unauthorized profile of the band. It features many people who were involved with Mott The Hoople in many different ways, or influenced by them. Included are several musicians (like the Clash's Mick Jones), journalists, and industry insiders, who tell the story of the band, album by album. Mott started off as Silence, then hooked up with producer/manager Guy Stevens and hired frontman Ian Hunter. These were major turning points in the band's career, and what really got the band going. After changing their name (which they got from a novel) they began recording albums and playing live. Although they developed a strong cult following on the live circuit (one critic calling them the most exciting live band in Britain at the time), their albums sold poorly, and they couldn't make a breakthrough. They were ready to call it a day when they met David Bowie, who offered to lend them his producing and songwriting talents. At first he offered them the song "Suffragette City", which they turned down (and Bowie later made into a hit of his own). Then Bowie suggested the song "All The Young Dudes". The rest, as they say, is history. This song gave Mott the breakthrough hit they needed, and became their most famous song, and their claim to fame. The band continued recording and touring into the 70s, scoring more hits, but this finally took its toll on Ian Hunter and he quit the band. While he started a solo career, the band continued on in various forms until they too eventually called it quits.

    DVD Review - Mott the Hoople: Under Review, An Independent Critica... http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/06/10/234828.php Blogcritics is an online magazine, a community of writers and readers from around the globe. Publisher: Eric Olsen REVIEW DVD Review - Mott the Hoople: Under Review, An Independent Critical Analysis Written by Metal Dad Published June 10, 2007 This 90 minute DVD covers the career of a great band not often remembered, but a band who wielded great influence as probably the best pre-punk band to come out of the UK. Mott the Hoople came out of the Hereford band Silence which consisted of Mick Ralphs (guitar), Verden Allen (organ), Pete Watts (bass), and Dale Griffin (drums). After adding Stan Tippens on vocals they recorded a few tracks. The group caught the eye of Island Records, were signed, and moved to London to begin recording with legendary producer Guy Stevens. Stevens got them to change the name of the band to Mott the Hoople from the novel of the same name by author Willard Manus. A veteran singer/songwriter named Ian Hunter was invited to join the band which led vocalist Stan Tippens to become the band's road manager. The band had begun to amass a loyal following by virtue of their live perfomances. In 1969 the band released their eponymous debut, Mott the Hoople, to mild success. Three more albums followed by 1971, Mad Shadows, Wildlife, and Brain Capers. In spite of their rabid fans, these albums did not sell well and did not receive very favorable press.

  • From Nebraska to Whalley Range: Reflections on Place and Identity in Music
    FROM NEBRASKA TO WHALLEY RANGE: REFLECTIONS ON PLACE AND IDENTITY IN MUSIC Joe David Green Dissertação de Mestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas Março de 2016 Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Isabel Oliveira Martins. AGRADECIMENTOS I would like to thank Professora Doutora Isabel Oliveira Martins, without whom this thesis would not have been completed. Her support and patience were invaluable and much appreciated. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support. DE NEBRASKA A WHALLEY RANGE: REFLEXÕES SOBRE O ESPAÇO E A IDENTIDADE NA MÚSICA Joe David Green RESUMO Este projeto é uma investigação sobre a relação da música com o espaço, e a forma como a música é usada para expressar a identidade e as mudanças sociais. Partindo da obra de Greil Marcus, Mystery Train (1975), uma exploração da identidade através da relação da música com a América da década de 1970, esta dissertação explora as mudanças que ocorreram no final dos anos setenta e durante nos anos oitenta, e pretende ligá-los aos desenvolvimentos políticos durante este período. A ligação da música com o espaço, identificada nas obras de Ray Hudson, Sara Cohen e Jacques Attali entre outros, é contrastada com gravações de música do final dos anos setenta e oitenta, a maioria da América, mas também da Grã-Bretanha. Neste contexto, as obras de Bruce Springsteen e Tom Waits são identificadas como expressões de uma nação americana em período de mudança e em crise de identidade, um processo descrito por George Packer como "the unwinding", a erosão de uma identidade e da paisagem americanas.

  • You Could Go Into Dobells and Hang out with Howlin' Wolf. a Look at One of Britain's Most Influential Record Shops
    DOBELLS research libraries to a whole generation, A look at one of Britain’s including all the bands of the British blues explosion – the Stones, Led most influential record shops. Zeppelin, Cream and Fleetwood Mac. In the days when bands met each other through their record collections, the shop became a place where everyone learnt their craft. “Dobells was a goldmine for people like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page,” says Leon Parker of the British Record Shop Archive, who helped curate the Chelsea exhibition. “It meant a lot to me as a record collector. Ordinary customers went there to hang out and meet their heroes. You could literally go in and stand next to someone like Howlin’ Wolf, which you could never do [the equivalent] today. It’s important to save this social history because these guys [who worked in the shops] are in their 70s and 80s. Muddy Waters and B.B. King both hotfooted it to Dobells whenever they landed in England. Max Jones went to interview B.B. King for Melody Maker in 1971 and found the blues maestro “knee deep in books and records” after a shopping expedition to Dobells. (Despite their reputation for lofty scorn towards less knowledgeable punters, the shop Cool cats: former Dobells customers at the launch of the exhibition in Chelsea staff were as liable to be starstruck as anyone. Customers recall that Ray Space included 60s club DJ Jeff Dexter Bolden, who worked behind the counter, would phone round his friends (far left) and mod tailor/rock’n’roll and say “B’s in the shop”.) outfitter Lloyd Johnson (far right).
