Dette vil være den eneste «Best Of»- samlingen av The Stranglers som vil være tilgjengelig på vinyl. Stranglers «Peaches (The Very Best Of)» er tilgjengelig for forhåndsbestilling nå. The Stranglers ble dannet tidlig i 1974, og ble oppdaget via punkrock-scenen. Bandet etablerte sitt omdømme og store fanskare gjennom deres aggressive og kompromissløse stil. Bandets sound utviklet seg derimot gjennom hele karrieren, og ble aldri kategorisert til en spesifikk sjanger. Som et resultat av dette, er deres verk svært variert og enormt verdsatt. Hittil har bandet oppnådd 23 britiske Top 40 singler og 17 britiske Top 40 album. The Stranglers er et av de lengst overlevende og mest kjente bandene som har sitt utspring fra den britiske punk-scenen. «Peaches (The Very Best Of)» er en samling av deres mest berømte låter fra de første to tiårene av deres berømte karriere, inkludert ikoniske spor som «Peaches», «Golden Brown», «No More Heroes» og «Hanging Around».

  • Love in Fragments.Pdf
    1 LOVE IN FRAGMENTS: THE SAPPHIC ISSUE © Honeyfire Literary Magazine, 2021 Editor-in-Chief: Lauren Poole Cover photo from Unsplash Cover design by Lauren Poole Content warnings: sex, nudity, brief mentions of discrimination. 2 Letter from the Editor The idea for this issue came from a conversation with a good friend of mine around Christmas. She was telling me about a new queer film that came out in December, a supposedly ‘feel-good’ festive rom-com which just had to involve conservative parents and a girl in the closet, of course. I can’t say much about the film itself; I didn’t watch it, for that exact reason. Any representation that is done right is a very positive thing, and I don’t mean to take away from that in the slightest. But the fact is that stories about queer people are few and far between, and those that do exist in mainstream media almost always seem to focus on the characters’ queerness as their entire plotline, their only defining feature. While it is incredibly important to start conversations about the struggles that queer people face, particularly sapphic women and nb people, it is equally as important that queer people see ourselves represented as people, as unique, whole individuals, not just as vehicles for stories about homophobia. Queer people deserve to see ourselves being happy, and accepted, and normalised. We deserve to see queer characters who aren’t reduced to their identities. We deserve to see queer characters who are as whole and unique and proud and diverse as we are.

As I conclude my formal education and experience the emotional upheaval that comes with it, it feels appropriate to attempt to thank as many people as I can. No person walks the path to and through graduate school alone and it is through the grace and love of other people that I have been able to come this far. I have been blessed with an amazing group of friends, family, and mentors who have walked with me at various parts of this journey. I stress that this is an attempt to acknowledge how much of my success is owed to others, but these words feel inadequate when compared to the love and dedication of those mentioned here. Growing up in a small town, I never thought I would come this far in my education. I am not sure I even knew what a Ph.D was. Regardless, I was supported by an amazing cadre of teachers who took a strange little girl and transformed her into a lifelong student (though maybe still strange).

  • MTO 10.2: Burns, Authenticity, Appropriation, Signification
    Volume 10, Number 2, June 2004 Copyright © 2004 Society for Music Theory * Lori Burns and Alyssa Woods KEYWORDS: popular music analysis, voice, gender, race, violence, authenticity ABSTRACT: This paper studies alternative artist Tori Amos’s cover versions of two original performances by Billie Holiday and Eminem. The narrative perspectives and musical structures of the original songs offer great potential to explore questions of authenticity, appropriation, and intertextuality, and Amos’s distinctive revisions of the songs encourage reflection on her Signifyin(g) practices. The song “Strange Fruit” marked a shift in Billie Holiday’s musical style and social consciousness. Her recording (1939) of this emotionally powerful song about the lynching of a black man is upheld as the benchmark (“authentic”) version of that song. Over five decades later (1994), Tori Amos expresses a powerful commitment to the style and social message of Holiday’s original, yet her musical presentation is not merely historical tribute; rather, Amos Signifies on the older text to offer a contemporary statement on race and violence. Eminem’s song, “‘97 Bonnie and Clyde” (1999) exposes the problematic theme of violence against women. In her version (2001), Tori Amos appropriates Eminem’s lyrics, but casts a new perspective over the narrative by assuming the voice of the murdered woman. This paper analyzes the originals and covers using an interpretive framework that focuses on the voice as the site and vehicle of an artist’s Signifyin(g) expression. Received March 2004 [1] Recent studies in popular music explore the problematic attribution of “authenticity” to an artist’s musical work.(1) Such an attribution might be an evaluation of the sincerity of the artist, or a judgment concerning purity of musical style.
