  • Music Video Auteurs: the Directors Label Dvds
    i Music Video Auteurs: The Directors Label DVDs and the Music Videos of Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze. by Tristan Fidler Bachelor of Arts (With First Class Honours), UWA ’04. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia. English, Communication and Cultural Studies. 2008 ii MUSIC VIDEO AUTEURS ABSTRACT Music video is an intriguing genre of television due to the fact that music drives the images and ideas found in numerous and varied examples of the form. Pre-recorded pieces of pop music are visually written upon in a palimpsest manner, resulting in an immediate and entertaining synchronisation of sound and vision. Ever since the popularity of MTV in the early 1980s, music video has been a persistent fixture in academic discussion, most notably in the work of writers like E. Ann Kaplan, Simon Frith and Andrew Goodwin. What has been of major interest to such cultural scholars is the fact that music video was designed as a promotional tool in their inception, supporting album sales and increasing the stardom of the featured recording artists. Authorship in music video studies has been traditionally kept to the representation of music stars, how they incorporate post-modern references and touch upon wider cultural themes (the Marilyn Monroe pastiche for the Madonna video, Material Girl (1985) for instance). What has not been greatly discussed is the contribution of music video directors, and the reason for that is the target audience for music videos are teenagers, who respond more to the presence of the singer or the band than the unknown figure of the director, a view that is also adhered to by music television channels like MTV.

So let’s start with a band’s name. It is one of the splendid ironies of the music business, where brand and image are all important, that changing a band’s name is such a di¤cult process. According to a 1993 interview with Select magazine,1 grunge-light indie act e Lemonheads needed a legal document to mark their transition from “Lemonheads” to “e Lemonheads”, a change so minute it gets lost in punctuation. At the same time, the actual meaning of a band’s name – however outlandish – tends to be forgotten. No one considers how ridiculous the words “Arctic Monkeys” are when put together; we immediately think of the internationally famous, festival-topping band, their name free from other, more literal, associations. Similarly, Daft Punk are just Daft Punk. You may know how their name came about – from a Melody Maker review of their brief Daft Punk precursor band, Darlin’, that dismissed them as “daft punky thrash” – but you probably don’t think too much about it.

  • Tim Lawrence
    Hold On to Your Dreams Arthur Russell and the Downtown Music Scene, 1973–1992 Tim Lawrence Hold On to Your Dreams is the first biography of the musician and composer Arthur Russell, one of the most important but least known contributors to New York’s downtown music scene during the 1970s and 1980s. With the exception of a few dance recordings, including “Is It All Over My Face?” and “Go Bang! #5,” Russell’s pioneering music was largely forgotten until 2004, when the posthumous release of two albums brought new attention to the artist. This revival of interest gained momentum with the issue of additional albums and the documentary film Wild Combination. Based on interviews with more than seventy of his collaborators, family members, and friends, Hold On to Your Dreams provides vital new information about this singular, eccentric musician and his role in the boundary-breaking downtown music scene. Tim Lawrence traces Russell’s odyssey from his hometown of Oskaloosa, Iowa, to countercultural San Francisco, and eventually to New York, where he lived from 1973 until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1992. Resisting definition while dreaming of commercial success, Russell wrote and performed new wave and disco as well as quirky rock, twisted folk, voice-cello dub, and hip-hop-inflected pop. “He was way ahead of other people in understanding that the walls between concert music and popular music and avant-garde music were illusory,” comments the composer Philip Glass. “He lived in a world in which those walls weren’t there.” Lawrence follows Russell across musical genres and through such vital downtown music spaces as the Kitchen, the Loft, the Gallery, the Paradise Garage, and the Experimental Intermedia Foundation.

  • Massive Attack's First Album Was a “Record of Rebellion, Its Chin Smugly
    Massive Attack’s first album was a “record of rebellion, its chin smugly forward; its noncommittal cross-racial dynamic a thumbed nose at the British popular culture that still retained the trace of racial and social cultural divisions.” Wheaton, R.J. (2011) DUMMY, London: Continuum International Publishing Group, p. 219. Why is Blue Lines such a culturally important record? There is an irony not to be overlooked in the fact that whilst Blue Lines was celebrated as the dance album of the 90s its creators exploded all boundaries and stylistic paradigms attached to the very genre of dance music. As Grant Marshall, aka Daddy G, explained in an interview with NME: “we’re outside of categories and that’s because where we come from.”1 The sensory beauty of this record relates to the authenticity in which Massive Attack reflect the cultural, social, racial, economic, political and geographic circumstances of their own backgrounds. As I will outline, this masterpiece is connected to its geographic location; its sonic texture and expressions not to be understood without knowing the relevant historic context of urban life in the 80s and early 90s of England; Thatcher’s neoliberalism, emerging social and political struggles as well as the impact of punk and hip-hop and their associated rebellious attitudes. 1 Kessler, 1998, THIS is THE STORY OF THE BLUES, NME, London: IPC Specialist Group, Issue April 11th, p. 33 1 I Benno Schlachter 2013 © Blue Lines, amongst other things, is a sonic answer to the history of its birthplace, the city of Bristol. As one of the biggest British perpetrators and profiteers of the slave trade consequently inherited a racist atmosphere to a city with a huge African-Caribbean population.

  • “Surely People Who Go Clubbing Don't Read”: Dispatches from The
    “Surely people who go clubbing don’t read”: Dispatches from the Dancefloor and Clubland in Print Simon A. Morrison University of Chester [email protected] Abstract In the context of the UK dance club scene during the 1990s, this article redresses a presumption that “people who go clubbing don’t read”. It will thereby test a proposed lacuna in original journalist voices in related print media. The examination is based on key UK publications that focus on the musical tropes and modes of the dancefloor, and on responses from a selection of authors and editors involved in British club culture during this era. The style of this article is itself a methodology that deploys ‘gonzo’ strategies typical of earlier New Journalism, in reaching for a new approach to academicism. In seeking to discover whether the idea that clubbers do not read is due to inauthentic media re/presentations of their experience on the dancefloor, or with specific subcultural discourses, the article concludes that the authenticity of club cultural re/presentation may well be found in fictional responses. Keywords: music journalism, gonzo journalism, chemical generation literature, electronic dance music culture (EDMC). Welcome to the disco-text This article will interrogate the claim made in 2000 by writer and editor Sarah Champion regarding a lacuna in auteur journalist voices, in relation to club culture media products. Her broader reports about a perceived unwillingness amongst clubbers to read at all — “surely clubbers don’t read” — form part of Steve Redhead’s collection Repetitive Beat Generation (2000: 18). Within this title, Champion further asserts about the genre- specific media of this subcultural scene that, “There should have been some kind of ‘Gonzo’ journalism to capture the spirit but there wasn’t”.

MORTALE Ogni gioco ha le sue regole? Non tutti. Certi giochi superano ogni limite. Sport talmente spericolati ed eccitanti da creare dipendenza. Sfide all’estremo che a volte mettono a rischio anche la vita di chi non gioca. Giochi divertenti da morire? Si, perchè a volte si muore davvero. Bungee Jumping: volare si può Il bungee jumping consiste nell’ effettuare un salto nel vuoto da ponti, gru, elicotteri o mongolfiere legati a un elastico. La forma più estrema di questo sport è il BASE JUMPING. Ci si getta da edifici, antenne, ponti e dirupi, ma senza l’elastico a fermare il volo. In questo caso il jumper apre il paracadute solo all’ultimo momento quando il margine per non sfracellarsi è di appena due o tre secondi. Una tremenda scarica di adrenalina, un gesto di piena follia, che somma al rischio di lasciarci la pelle quello di finire in galera. La sfida dentro la sfida è, infatti, quella di lanciarsi da luoghi speciali, simbolici, pericolosissimi o vietati, come la Statua della libertà o la Torre Eiffel. Eppure basta poco, una raffica di vento, un errore nel tempo di apertura del paracadute e l’avventura si conclude in tragedia. I “jumpers” hanno tra i venti ei trent’anni d’ età. In maggioranza maschi, non mancano ultracinquantenni e giovanissimi. Per i campioni del brivido non conta solo l’espressione liberatoria dell’energia fisica, ma piuttosto la sua gestione e il suo allenamento.

    TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION No. 2042246A IN THE NAME OF IPC MEDIA LIMITED AND IN THE MATTER OF OPPOSITION THERETO UNDER No. 48931 BY LOADED RECORDS LIMITED AND IN THE MATTER OF AN APPEAL TO THE APPOINTED PERSON BY THE APPLICANTS AGAINST THE DECISION OF MR M. FOLEY DATED 14 AUGUST 2001 ______________________ DECISION ______________________ Background 1. Since April 1994, IPC Media Limited (“the applicants”) have produced a monthly magazine called LOADED primarily aimed at a male readership aged between 20 – 35 years old. I believe the title might popularly be described as a “lads” magazine. 2. The success of the magazine caused the applicants to turn their minds to merchandising and by an application dated 23 October 1995 they applied under number 2042246 to register the trade mark LOADED for a variety of goods and services in Classes 9, 35, 41 and 42. 3. On 27 August 1998, Loaded Records Limited (“the opponents”) filed notice of opposition against the application. Although a number of grounds were stated, the opponents came to rely on one ground only: that under section 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the TMA”) the applicants’ mark was liable to be prevented in use in the UK by the law of passing off. The opposition did not concern the services application in Classes 35, 41 and 42, which was subsequently divided off under number 2042246B and in the absence of opposition proceeded to registration. Following division, the opposed application in Class 9 was renumbered 2042246A. 4. The goods in Application No.
