Dissertação (Mestrado) – Programa de Pós-Graduação em História. Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Pelotas. O conceito de Consciência de Classe usado por E. P. Thompson correlaciona experiência e cultura de uma classe em seu processo de formação, de tal forma que a consciência de uma classe é inequivocamente indissociável a ela. Partindo desse pressuposto, e amparado pelo Materialismo Histórico-Dialético, este trabalho analisa as letras gravadas de 1989 a 1994 da banda de rock Manic Street Preachers, formada em 1989 por quatro músicos galeses que testemunharam em sua adolescência a Grande Greve dos Mineiros de 1984/85 contra a política de ―modernização da matriz energética‖ de Margareth Thatcher fecharia centenas de minas de carvão, comprometendo a subsistência de várias cidades do sul da Inglaterra e de Gales. Depois de dois desses músicos formarem-se historiadores na Universidade de Cardiff, País de Gales, os quatro formariam uma das mais notáveis bandas britânicas da década de 90, com sua anacrônica atitude punk e glam contrastando contra a cena Madchester/Shoegazing vigente no final dos anos 80. Suas letras, em especial ao longo dos primeiros 3 LPs e gravações circunvizinhas, demonstram um engajamento político loquaz, com críticas e reflexões à Grã Bretanha, aos Estados Unidos e ao capitalismo como um todo, mas gradualmente, ao longo destes 3 álbuns, refletindo sobre as condições do ser humano no sistema capitalista e na própria natureza humana. O trabalho discute o músico enquanto trabalhador na indústria cultural e suas estratégias de expressar sua consciência apesar das exigências da indústria fonográfica, além de referenciar e categorizar os temas abordados pela banda. Palavras-chave: consciência; classe; música; rock; Grã-Bretanha. Abstract BRANDÃO, Lucas da Silva. “In these plagued streets you can buy anything”: Consciousness, culture and experience in the lyrics of the Manic Street Preachers (1988 a 1994), 2019. 145p. Master Degree – Programa de Pós-Graduação em História. Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Pelotas. The concept of Class as used by E. P. Thompson correlates experience and culture of a given class in its formation process in such way that the ―self- awareness‖ of a class and the class itself are unmistakably inseparable. Based on this, and supported by Dialectical and Historical Materialism, this work analyzes the lyrics recorded from 1989 to 1994 by the rock band Manic Street Preachers, assembled in 1989 by four Welsh musicians who, in their teens, witnessed the Great Miners‘ Strike (1984/85) against Margaret Thatcher's ‗modernization of the power matrix‘ policy closed hundreds of coal mines, undermining the livelihoods of several cities in southern England and Wales. After two of these musicians gratuated in History at Cardiff University, Wales, the quartet became one of the most notable British bands of the 1990s, with their anachronistic punk and glam attitude contrasting against the Madchester / Shoegazing scene. His lyrics along their first 3 LPs demonstrate loquacious political engagement, comentary on Britain, the United States, and capitalism as a whole, but gradually throughout considering about the conditions of the human being in the capitalist system and in human nature itself. The work discusses the musician as a worker in the cultural industry and his strategies of expressing his conscience despite the demands of the music market, as well referencing and categorizing the themes addressed by the band. Keywords: consciousness; class; music; rock; Great Britain.

    Music Venue Trust response to Music Industry in Wales Inquiry 1. About Music Venue Trust Music Venue Trust is a registered charity which acts to protect, secure and improve Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. 1 Music Venue Trust is the representative body of the Music Venues Alliance 2, a network of over 500 Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. A full list of the 34 Music Venues Alliance Wales members is provided at Annex A. 2. Grassroots Music Venues in 2019 A. A nationally and internationally accepted definition of a Grassroots Music Venue (GMV) is provided at Annex B. This definition is now in wide usage, including by the UK, Scottish and Welsh Parliaments. 3 GMVs exhibit a specific set of social, cultural and economic attributes which are of special importance to communities, artists, audiences, and to the wider music industry. Across sixty years, this sector has played a vital research and nurturing role in the development of the careers of a succession of UK musicians, for example The Beatles (The Cavern, Liverpool) through The Clash (100 Club, London), The Undertones (The Casbah, Derry), Duran Duran (Rum Runner, Birmingham), Housemartins (Adelphi, Hull), Radiohead (Jericho Tavern, Oxford), Idlewild (Subway, Edinburgh). All three of the UK’s highest grossing live music attractions in 2017 (Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay) commenced their careers with extensive touring in this circuit. 4 In Wales, GMVs have played a central role in kickstarting the careers of The Manic Street Preachers (TJs, Newport), Supper Furry Animals (Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff), The Joy Formidable, (Central Station, Wrexham), Gruff Rhys (Neuadd Ogwen, Bangor), Funeral For A Friend (Hobo’s Bridgend), Skindred (Sin City, Swansea).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Manic Street Preachers Tornano Con Un Nuovo Disco, Intitolato Futurology, in Uscita L'8 Manic Street Preachers Luglio 2014
    LUNEDì 28 APRILE 2014 A soli nove mesi di distanza dall'acclamato Rewind The Film (top 5 nel Regno Unito), undicesimo album da studio della band, i Manic Street Preachers tornano con un nuovo disco, intitolato Futurology, in uscita l'8 Manic Street Preachers luglio 2014. Futurology, il nuovo album, in uscita l'8 luglio. Registrati ai leggendari Hansa Studios di Berlino e al Faster, lo studio dei In concerto in Italia il 2 giugno 2014 al RocK In Manics a Cardiff, i tredici brani che compongono l'album vedono la band Idro di Bologna gallese in forma smagliante, addirittura esplosiva. Uno stacco netto rispetto al disco precedente, ma sempre all'insegna di uno stile inconfondibile. LA REDAZIONE Il primo singolo estratto è "Walk Me To The Bridge", dalle chiare influenze europee. In una recente conversazione con John Doran di Quietus, Nicky Wire ha parlato del testo del brano, che ha cominciato a prendere forma qualche anno fa. "Qualcuno penserà che la canzone contenga tanti riferimenti a Richey Edwards, ma in realtà parla del ponte di Øresund che collega la Svezia alla Danimarca. Tanto tempo fa, quando [email protected] attraversavamo quel ponte, stavo perdendo entusiasmo per le cose e SPETTACOLINEWS.IT pensavo di lasciare la band (il "fatal friend"). 'Walk Me To The Bridge' parla dei ponti che ti consentono di vivere un'esperienza extracorporea quando lasci un luogo per raggiungerne un altro". Secondo James Dean Bradfield, il brano è "una canzone ideale per i viaggi in auto, dal sapore squisitamente europeo e carica di tensione emotiva, con sintetizzatori in stile primi Simple Minds e un assolo di chitarra Ebow alla 'Heroes'".
