  • Call It Dreaming; Folk Rocker Iron & Wine to Play Qpac
    28 March 2018 CALL IT DREAMING; FOLK ROCKER IRON & WINE TO PLAY QPAC American singer-songwriter Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam) will make a long-awaited return to Australia with his new album and full band in tow, appearing for one night only at Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s (QPAC) Concert Hall on Wednesday 30 May 2018. Through the course of six studio albums, numerous EPs and singles, Iron & Wine has captured the emotion and imagination of listeners with distinctly cinematic songs. With a live band featuring acoustic guitars, percussion, keys, cello, and bass, Iron & Wine’s music has been compared to that of Nick Drake, Jackson Browne, Elliott Smith and Neil Young. From haunting, stripped-back performances alongside Glen Hansard to more panoramic collaborations with the likes of the Mariachi-wielding Calexico, Beam has rewritten his nom de plume as a sonic shape shifter ever-anchored by his signature high tenor voice - handpicked and introduced to millions by Kristen Stewart as the slow-dance soundtrack to Twilight. More than 15 years since his bedroom-folk breakthrough The Creek Drank the Cradle and his scene-stealing cover of Such Great Heights in Garden State, Beam will now lead a full band as Iron & Wine, taking to the Concert Hall stage for an expansive journey through his rustic masterpiece The Shepherd's Dog, the chart-topping Kiss Each Other Clean, R&B inflected Ghost on Ghost and his latest release 2017’s Grammy®-nominated album Beast Epic. Beam said the sound of Beast Epic, in a way, harked back to previous work.

Briefly describe the rationale for assignment to foundation area(s) and subgroup(s) chosen. This course falls into social analysis and visual and performance arts analysis and practice because it shows how punk, as a subculture, has influenced alternative economic practices, led to political mobilization, and challenged social norms. This course situates the activity of listening to punk music in its broader cultural ideologies, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself) ideal, which includes nontraditional musical pedagogy and composition, cooperatively owned performance venues, and underground distribution and circulation practices. Students learn to analyze punk subculture as an alternative social formation and how punk productions confront and are times co-opted by capitalistic logic and normative economic, political and social arrangements. 3.

It offers reflection and re­ collection, it is an antidote against lost certitudes."1 Like perhaps no other medium, the music video clip is marking and shap­ ing our everyday culture: film, art, literature, advertisements ­ they all are clearly under the impact of the music video in their aesthetics, their technical procedures, visual worlds or narrative strategies. The reason for this has not only to be sought in the fact that some of the video di­ rectors are now venturing into art or advertisement, but that also peo­ ple not working in the field of producing video clips are indebted to this medium.2 Thus, more or less former video clip­directors such as Chris Cunningham or Jonas Akerlund have established themselves successfully with their creations which very often are based on ideas and concepts, originally developed for earlier music videos: both Cunningham's works Flex and Monkey Drummer, commissioned in 2000 respectively 2001 by the Anthony d'Offay Gallery, evolved out of his earlier music videos.' Flex relies on the fantastic and weightless underwater cosmos Cunningham designed for the images that accompanied Portishead's Only you in 1998. Monkey Drummer* is heavily based on the soundtrack written by the Irish musician Aphex Twin (Richard David James) for whom Cunningham had previously directed famous videos such as Come to Daddy (1997) and Win- dowlicker (1999).

This event caused a crisis within the Chicago DIY punk scene that primarily relied on residential spaces, from third story apartments to dirt-floored basements, as venues.

  • The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Not All Killed by John Wayne: The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk 1940s to the Present A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in American Indian Studies by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Not All Killed by John Wayne: Indigenous Rock ‘n’ Roll, Metal, and Punk History 1940s to the Present by Kristen Le Amber Martinez Master of Arts in American Indian Studies University of California Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Maylei Blackwell, Chair In looking at the contribution of Indigenous punk and hard rock bands, there has been a long history of punk that started in Northern Arizona, as well as a current diverse scene in the Southwest ranging from punk, ska, metal, doom, sludge, blues, and black metal. Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.

    Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo, Vol. 3, Núm. 1, 2015, 198-219 Alicia Vanessa Nuñez Rafaela Fiore Urízar PUNK’S NOT DEAD IN EAST LA: EXPLORING THE EAST LOS SERIES AND IT’S USE OF LOCALITY AND CULTURAL HYBRIDITY FOR EASTSIDE CATHARSIS Introduction Depictions of Los Angeles emphasize an obsession with beauty, wealth, and fame; a media fueled superficiality that gives a myopic view of the city itself. For its inhabitants, the realities of this City of Lights seem unrecognizable from the fairytales its own neighborhood of Hollywood tries to disperse to the world. Sure, the rich and famous reside amongst luxury and comfort, but take a few steps outside of this glimmering bubble, and the disparities of millions of Angelinos become apparent. Such marginalization is experienced throughout the county, but the current Punk scene of East Los Angeles may be one of the biggest indicators of the existence of such urban problems. Some may ask, “hasn’t Punk been dead since the early 80’s?” Much like its unending fervor against conformity and uniformity, Punk continues to live; offering teens of the Eastside an escape against the Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo ISSN: 2013-8652 online http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/REGAC/index http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ Alicia Vanessa Nuñez & Dr. Rafaela Fiore Urízar, “Punk’s Not Dead in East LA: Exploring the East Los Series and It’s Use of Locality and Cultural Hybridity for Eastside Catharsis” harsh realities that comes with living in the city of luminous yet scathing lights.

  • 1 on the Peruvian Reality of a Punk
    On the Peruvian Reality of a Punk Mode of Underproduction Shane Greene (Indiana University) **NOTE: This is still – VERY MUCH – a work in progress (and also the first of seven essays in a book project). That means, in effect, the writing here is not as polished as I’d like. And I’m missing a section toward the end (specifically on the ambiguity between “underground” production of punk music/art/fanzines and “underground” subversive political propaganda in the context of Peru’s war) as well as a concluding thought. But since I’m familiar with the Chicago workshop model, I also know that it’s a great space to talk about ideas/works in progress and that’s what I’d love to do. The Material Semiotics of Underproduction I begin this first of seven essays from an unlikely starting point: the 2008 US financial crisis that sparked a massive downturn in the global economy. In fact, I watched these events unfold from Lima just as I began to get interested in the complex history of underground punk, revolutionary ideology, and political violence in Peru. To be more precise, I start with David Harvey’s (2010) take on the crisis. He asks us to look beyond the short-term explanations that economists love to give to big issues. Crises can and do of course emerge from different sectors of the global economy, reflecting the specific contours of a particular place and time. The most recent was the direct result of the flagrant risk-taking rampant in the elite financial sector.

  • Henry Keazor, Thorsten Wübbena (Eds.) Rewind, Play, Fast Forward the Past, Present and Future of the Music Video
    From: Henry Keazor, Thorsten Wübbena (eds.) Rewind, Play, Fast Forward The Past, Present and Future of the Music Video October 2010, 280 p., 29,80 €, ISBN 978-3-8376-1185-4 Due to shifts in the contexts of the production and presentation of the music video, more and more people start to talk about a possible end of this genre. At the same time disciplines such as visual-, film- and media-studies, art- and music-history begin to realize that they still lack a well defined and matching methodical approach for analyzing and discussing videoclips. For the first time this volume brings together different disciplines as well as journalists, museum curators and gallery owners in order to take a discussion of the past and present of the music video as an opportunity to reflect upon suited methodological approaches to this genre and to allow a glimpse into its future. Henry Keazor (Prof. Dr.) has the Chair in Art History at Saarland University. Thorsten Wübbena (M.A.) works at the Art Historical Institute of Frankfurt University.
