  • Robert Johnson, Folk Revivalism, and Disremembering the American Past
    The Green Fields of the Mind: Robert Johnson, Folk Revivalism, and Disremembering the American Past Blaine Quincy Waide A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Folklore Program, Department of American Studies Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: William Ferris Robert Cantwell Timothy Marr ©2009 Blaine Quincy Waide ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Blaine Quincy Waide: The Green Fields of the Mind: Robert Johnson, Folk Revivalism, and Disremembering the American Past (Under the direction of William Ferris) This thesis seeks to understand the phenomenon of folk revivalism as it occurred in America during several moments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. More specifically, I examine how and why often marginalized southern vernacular musicians, especially Mississippi blues singer Robert Johnson, were celebrated during the folk revivals of the 1930s and 1960s as possessing something inherently American, and differentiate these periods of intense interest in the traditional music of the American South from the most recent example of revivalism early in the new millennium. In the process, I suggest the term “disremembering” to elucidate the ways in which the intent of some vernacular traditions, such as blues music, has often been redirected towards a different social or political purpose when communities with divergent needs in a stratified society have convened around a common interest in cultural practice. iii Table of Contents Chapter Introduction: Imagining America in an Iowa Cornfield and at a Mississippi Crossroads…………………………………………………………………………1 I.

  • Damon Albarn - Il Suo Primo Album Da Solista - Dal Titolo "Everyday Robots" Sarà Pubblicato Dalla Parlophone Il 29 Aprile 2014
    MARTEDì 21 GENNAIO 2014 Un nuovo album di Damon Albarn - il suo primo album da solista - dal titolo "Everyday Robots" sarà pubblicato dalla Parlophone il 29 aprile 2014. Damon Albarn Il primo singolo, in radio e disponibile nei digital store da oggi è la title In radio con "Everyday Robots", il primo singolo track 'Everyday Robots' che, insieme alle successive 11 canzoni, invita che anticipa l'omonimo album in uscita il 29 l'ascoltatore nel mondo di Albarn per un vero e proprio faccia-a-faccia. aprile Sono probabilmente i brani più intimi ed autobiografici da quando è cominciato il suo viaggio musicale: una carriera iniziata con i Blur che si è estesa successivamente con i Gorillaz, i The Good, The Bad & The Queen, con la musica del Mali, con le opere teatrali "Monkey: Journey To The LA REDAZIONE West" e "Dr. Dee" ed il progetto Africa Express. Il brano 'Everyday Robots' è accompagnato da un video diretto dall'artista e designer Aitor Throup. http://smarturl.it/everydayrobotsvideo [email protected] Il video è un ritratto digitale di Albarn eseguito da Throup. Utilizzando il SPETTACOLINEWS.IT software CGI (immagini generate al computer) e scansioni craniche reali insieme a tecniche di ricostruzione facciale, il video esplora e rivela il processo di costruzione di un ritratto unico e personale dell'artista e dell'individuo. Throup ha lavorato anche alla creatività del visual concept delle copertine sia del singolo che dell'album ed ha scattato le foto a Damon per l'immagine della copertina dell'album. Registrato lo scorso anno nello studio londinese di Albarn, lo "studio 13", Everyday Robots è prodotto da Richard Russell della XL Recordings - con il quale Damon aveva prodotto 'The Bravest Man In The Universe' di Bobby Womack - e contiene collaborazioni con Brian Eno e Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes).
