  • Daniel Amos and Me: the Power of Pop Culture and Autoethnography
    Daniel Amos and Me: The Power of Pop Culture and Autoethnography ANDREW F. HERRMANN Nearly everyone I know has a relationship with something in popular culture, whether it is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, amassing The Astonishing X-Men comics, or collecting every version of every Star Wars movie. Relationships and pop culture: couldn’t that make an autoethnography? This is a short version of my relationship with a band, Daniel Amos. I am not in Daniel Amos. I don’t know the members of the band (although I am Facebook friends with them now). I first heard them in 1982 serendipitously. Or maybe it was destiny. Either way, they opened my eyes to the wonders, doubts, and excesses of my life, critiqued my faith, and brought me joy. I feel like I know them, and they me. Thirty-one years after first hearing them, I realize our relationship is one of the longest I have had. We grew up and are growing older together. Popular Culture Autoethnography? Pop culture and autoethnography: two terms seemingly at odds with each other. On the one side stands popular culture studies, with its interrogations of music (Albiez), television shows (Stern), video gaming (Dunn & Guadagno), movie genres (Carroll), characters (Herrmann, “C-can”) – including individuals who become “characters” (Herbig 133) – and its examinations of power and discourses in popular texts, broadly defined (Stern, Manning & Dunn). On the other side sits autoethnography, the narrative first-person examination of the self, used as a jumping off point to interrogate cultural practices (Holman Jones, Adams & Ellis). One examines culture and identity from the outside in, the other from the inside out.

  • Sparrow Records Discography
    Sparrow Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Sparrow Records Discography Sparrow is a Contemporary Christian label founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn. Hearn was the A&R Director for Word Records’ Myrrh label, founded a few years earlier also as a Contemporary Christian label. Sparrow also released records under their Birdwing subsidiary. Hearn’s Sparrow label was in competition with Hearn’s old boss, Word Records, and was quite successful. Even today, Sparrow is among the top Christian labels. Hearn sold the label to EMI in 1992, and it was placed under the Capitol Christian Music Group. Sparrow signed a distribution agreement with MCA in April, 1981 to release their product in the secular market while the regular Sparrow issues were distributed to Christian stores and Christian radio stations. The arrangement with MCA lasted until October, 1986, when Sparrow switched distribution to Capitol. Sparrow SPR-1001 Main Series: SPR-1001 - Through a Child’s Eyes - Annie Herring [1976] Learn A Curtsey/Where Is The Time/Wild Child/Death After Life/Grinding Stone/Hand On Me//Dance With You/Love Drops/Days Like These/First Love/Some Days/Liberty Bird/Fly Away Burden SPR-1002 - SPR-1003 - John Michael Talbot - John Michael Talbot [1976] He Is Risen/Jerusalem/How Long/Would You Crucify Him//Woman/Greewood Suite/Hallelu SPR-1004 - Firewind - Various Artists [1976] Artists include Anne Herring, Barry McGuire, John Talbot, Keith Green, Matthew Ward, Nelly Ward, and Terry Talbot (In other words, Barry McGuire, The Talbot Brothers, Keith Green, and The 2nd Chapter of Acts).

  • Christian Rock Eine Betrachtung Unter Kulturästhetischen Und
    JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE UNIVERSITÄT FRANKFURT AM MAIN Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften Die Arbeit wird im Rahmen des Studiengangs Musikwissenschaft vorgelegt zur Erlangung des Magister Artium. Christian Rock Eine Betrachtung unter kulturästhetischen und musikalischen Aspekten vorgelegt von: Tobias Rux aus: Zwickau (Geburtsort) 1. Gutachter/in: Prof. Dr. Linda Maria Koldau 2. Gutachter/in: PD Dr. Andreas Meyer Abgabedatum: 30.01.2009 Christian Rock – Eine Betrachtung unter kulturästhetischen und musikalischen Aspekten Vorwort Seite 2/139 Vorwort Ich bin seit meiner Jugendzeit Hörer von Rockmusik. Über Tonträger oder auf Konzerten kam ich mit vielen Spielarten des Rock in Berührung. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, wie unterschiedlich sich Performance, Text und Kontext auf meine Wahrnehmung auswirkten. Es schien mir, als ob dabei die innere Einstellung des Protagonisten einen großen Einfluss auf die Rezeption von Musik hat – was sich im Rock noch augenscheinlicher niederschlug als in anderen Ausdrucksformen populärer Musik. Einerseits vom persönlichen Ausdruck des Interpreten bzw. der Aussage und Ausstrahlung seiner Musik angetan, riefen andere Darbietungen in diesen Punkten Enttäuschung in mir hervor. Mit dem Studium der Musikwissenschaft, besonders des Seminars Musikwissenschaft und Popularmusik, entstand ein persönliches Interesse, herauszufinden, ob und inwieweit bestimmte Strömungen des Rock sich hinsichtlich musikalischer, ideologischer und soziologischer Kriterien unterscheiden und welchen Wert bzw. Unwert sie für die Gesellschaft besitzen. Auch die Kritik an der vielleicht authentischsten Ausdrucksform der (jugendlichen) Gesellschaft veranlasste mich, jene Aspekte, hier auf Christian Rock bezogen, auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene zu beleuchten. Mein Dank gilt in erster Linie meiner Professorin Linda Maria Koldau, die mir in inhaltlichen sowie formalen Fragen für die Zeit meines Schreibens zur Verfügung stand.

  • LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, and an INTERVIEW with GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth Univ
    WEIRD RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS: LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, AND AN INTERVIEW WITH GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth University Keywords: Christianity, Larry Norman, Jesus Rock, CCM, Religion 'Christian rock is a genre that exists to edify and make money off evangelical Christians. [...] A Christian band , on the other hand is just a band that has more than one Christian in it.' – John Jeremiah Sullivan (2012: 17-18) Although The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Popular Music (Stewart and Abraham 2017) contains chapters such as Michael J. Gilmour's 'The Bible and Popular Music' (67-76) and Ibrahim Abraham and Francis Stewarts' 'Punk and Hardcore' (241- 250), there remains little informed academic consideration of the Christian music genre, especially punk and post-punk. John J. Thompson's Raised by Wolves (2000) and Mark Joseph's The Rock & Roll Rebellion (1999) offer insider histories, whilst Andrew Beaujon's Body Piercing Saved My Life (2006) is an hilarious, sceptical exploration of 'the phenomenon of Christian rock', focussed mostly on the early 2000s. Gilmour 's Call Me the Seeker: Listening to Religion in Popular Music (2005) is interested more in religious sources and themes; the nearest it gets to post-punk is Anna Kessler's consideration of Nick Cave (79-94) and J.R.C. Cousland's discussion of 'God, the Bad, and the Ugly' in the work of Nick Cave and Polly Harvey (129-157). Better, is Jay R Howard & John M. Streck's Apostle of Rock (1999), which takes a more sociological approach to what it calls 'The Splintered World of Contemporary Christian Music' and considers the tensions between ideas of ministry, entertainment, art and business for Christian musicians.

There is, however, another conception of art - art as activity - and it is in this context that Howard Becker (1984) develops his concept of art worlds. Art worlds, Becker argues, include more than the artists who create the work which the public commonly defines as art.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.
