  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

FEIJÓ PROFESSOR DOUTOR MIGUEL TAMEN Doutoramento em Estudos de Literatura e de Cultura Teoria da Literatura 2014 Acknowledgments The work for this thesis was done under a fellowship granted by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT): the time granted to think is priceless, and I am indeed thankful for being allowed to benefit from it. During this period I have also benefited from the resources put at my disposal by my host institution, the Nova Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA). Professor António Feijó has been teaching me since my first year of undergraduate studies and Professor Miguel Tamen since I started graduate studies: I am still to this day amazed at the luck I have for being given the opportunity to work with both of them, and my gratitude for their efforts and enthusiasm in crafting this thesis is immeasurable. As a student of the Program in Literary Theory I must extend my thanks to Professor João Figueiredo, who is an integral part of the Program and with whom I have learnt many valuable things about art. When writing a thesis, a friend who enjoys editing is a blessing one must always be thankful for; in any case, I would gladly dismiss Helena’s editing skills for the friendship which has shaped this work beyond recognition and, necessarily, beyond any written acknowledgment.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.02.2020 Suede im Rahmen der Jumbiläumstour zu „Coming Up“ exklusiv in Berlin Die britische Band Suede steht seit den neunziger Jahren für einen großen Aufbruch, einen neuen Stil – und tut das bis heute. Nach ihrer Reunion Anfang der Zehner-Jahre haben Suede nahtlos da weitergemacht, wo sie 2003 aufgehört hatten. Die Musik, den Brit-Pop revolutionieren. Niemals still stehen. Sich selbst ständig fordern. Oder wie die Band es selbst ausdrückt: „Getting the energy of what you used to do without becoming a self-parody is the holy grail“. Dabei blicken Suede ruhig zurück und stellen das in den Mittelpunkt, was prägend war. 1996 erschien mit „Coming Up“ das kommerziell erfolgreichste Album der Karriere und gleichzeitig das erste, das in der heute noch gültigen Besetzung eingespielt wurde: die Gründungsmitglieder, Sänger Brett Anderson und Bassist Mat Osman, und der kurz darauf dazustoßende Schlagzeuger Simon Gilbert bilden bis heute das Gerüst, Gitarrist Richard Oakes hatte Bernard Butler ersetzt, und Keyboarder Neil Coding war gerade frisch dabei. „Coming Up“ erreichte den ersten Platz der britischen Charts, wurde mit Platin ausgezeichnet und als zweite Suede-Platte für den Mercury Prize nominiert. In diesem Jahr feiert das erfolgreiche Album 25-Jähriges. Wenn man sich dieses Werk heute anhört, fragt man sich ein wenig, wo eigentlich der Britpop darin versteckt ist, zu sehr haben Blur und Pulp und natürlich Oasis den Genrebegriff geprägt. Aber wenn man genau hinhört, bemerkt man, warum sie die Engländer das große Vorbild für die anderen waren – und wie wenig sie sich um Einordnungen und Schubladen gekümmert haben.
