    THE WARNER BROS. LOSS LEADERS SERIES (1969-1980) Depending On How You Count Them, 34 Essential Various Artist Collections From Another Time We figured it was about time to pull together all of the incredible Warner Bros. Loss Leaders releases dating back to 1969 (and even a little earlier). For those who lived through the era, Warner Bros. Records was winning the sales of an entire generation by signing and supporting some of music’s most uniquely groundbreaking recording artists… during music’s most uniquely groundbreak- ing time. With an appealingly irreverent style (“targeted youth marketing,” it would be called today), WB was making lifelong fans of the kids who entered into the label’s vast catalog of art- ists via the Loss Leaders series—advertised on inner sleeves & brochures, and offering generous selections priced at $1 per LP, $2 for doubles and $3 for their sole 3-LP release, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies. And that was including postage. Yes… those were the days, but back then there were very few ways, outside of cut-out bins or a five-finger discount, to score bulk music as cheaply. Warners unashamedly admitted that their inten- tions were to sell more records, by introducing listeners to music they weren’t hearing on their radios, or finding in many of their (still weakly distributed) record stores. And it seemed to work… because the series continued until 1980, and the program issued approximately 34 titles, by our questionable count (detailed in later posts). But, the oldsters among us all fondly remember the multi-paged, gatefold sleeves and inviting artwork/packaging that beckoned from the inner sleeves of our favorite albums, not to mention the assorted rarities, b-sides and oddities that dotted many of the releases.

  • HIDDEN in PLAIN SIGHT Musical Subtext in Drama BRIGITTE BOGAR a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED to the FACULTY of GRADUATE STUDIES IN
    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT Musical subtext in drama BRIGITTE BOGAR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2018 © Brigitte Bogar, 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the manner in which music (songs, instrumental underscoring, and sound cues) support, reflect, and advance dramatic action. The dramaturgical analysis, employing Freytag’s model, is applied to selected dramatic repertoire to reveal the impact and influence of music on the dramatic structure of these works. The analysis considers how the musical nature of works by William Shakespeare, August Strindberg, George Bernard Shaw, Tom Stoppard and Simon Stephens also contributes to them becoming major sources for adaptations and for musicals on the modern stage. The importance of looking at authors, function, intended effects, production, context, message, and transmission modes must be stressed, as well as how to code/decode music and how musical meanings are generated through effective stimulation or through semiotics. The argument maintains that text and music cannot be separated without causing serious damage to the author’s creative vision and that the total structure of a play exists as an expression of artistic unity similar to Wagner’s concept of Gesamtkunstwerk. The text and music exist in a symbiotic relationship, sometimes as leitmotifs, with the non-diegetic music supporting emotions to reflect the inner world of their characters. The use of musical leitmotifs or music as thematic material clearly contributes in driving forward the dramatic action. Among the main findings are how the musical references made by any of the five playwrights determines the dramaturgical interpretation of their plays.

The Audiovisual Eerie: Transmediating Thresholds in the Work of David Lynch Holly Rogers David Lynch’s sonic resonances echo through projects and media. Pulsating room tone, eerie acousmêtre, electronic wash, static drones, thwarted resolutions and remediated retro textures frequently trouble the image, while imploding lip-syncs violently tear sound from sight and disembodied noises lead attention beyond the edge of the screen. Lynch’s soundscapes point beyond themselves. They are disruptive, bleeding between film, television, internet and music video work, resonating in the unseen spaces that surround each narrative centre before overflowing into ancillary worlds. These liminal spaces are occupied by sound alone and mark the threshold not only between projects, but also between music and image, inside and out, real and imagined.

  • Brad Stiffler, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
    Clearing the Distortion: TV History & Local Archives Cable Access and the Television Archive Brad Stiffler, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities While the organizing questions for this roundtable address local and regional programs from early television history, I want to consider a tangentially related issue: cable access programs within the television archive. In general, the amateur, unpopular, and local nature of cable access, as well as its short history dating only to the 1970s, has kept most access programs out of traditional TV histories and archives. However, this is not necessarily negative. I argue that, while its stories may be more difficult to find, the marginality of cable access offers a novel research experience that can help rethink conventional ideas about television. To illustrate this point, I want to present a few of my experiences in researching New Wave Theatre, a music and variety show originally produced for Los Angeles-area cable access in 1979. While the show primarily featured performances and interviews with local punk bands, it also sought to utilize cable television as a force for social transformation. During my research, I came across a document that was instrumental in connecting the show with specific ideas about the revolutionary potential of cable television, helping reconstruct the discursive environment of its production. Found in an envelope that belonged to Peter Ivers, the host and co-creator of New Wave Theatre, the document was simply a yellowed article cut out of The Los Angeles Times titled “Cable Television—On the Road to a Wired Nation.” This particular copy was marked with the word “SAVE” in red pen and littered with little stars, dots, and underlined passages highlighting ideas about the new forum of cable access and its potential to revolutionize not just TV, but society as a whole.

Stanley Kubrick Una meditazione metafisica Privo di una trama o di un personaggio convenzionali, Eraserhead ruota attorno a un giovane sognante e sdolcinato di nome Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) che vive con una pianta scarna e malnutrita in una stanza ammobiliata buia e squallida in un ambiente urbano degradato . Invitato a una cena di famiglia grottesca dall’ex fidanzata Mary, si scopre padre di un mostro illegittimo, una sorta di feto simile a un verme; Mary e l’ululante creatura prematura traslocano nell’appartamento di Henry. La creatura si ammala e le sue urla strazianti finiscono per causare la fuga di Mary nel mezzo di una notte piovosa. Henry tenta di prendersi cura del figlio. Non riuscendoci, distrugge il feto e di conseguenza se stesso e l’intero universo. Storia lugubre, certo, ma gran parte del film è soprattutto una sardonica meditazione metafisica sui contenuti della mente di Henry : un paesaggio di fantasie, processi misteriosi e rumori industriali tenuti assieme da un mosaico di ossessioni riguardanti il sesso, le macchine, la biologia, la botanica, l’astronomia, la teologia, il tutto espresso in maniera non verbale.
