  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.

Likewise, Lemmy seemed too much a part of rock’s scenery to leave us so soon. As we went to press with this issue, we also learned the sad news that Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey had passed (look out for a full tribute next month), making this winter the worst in memory for losing legends. The only very slight consolation for all this is that it prompted us to listen again to the music that made them household names. In the case of Bowie, it was a reminder of the astonishing breadth and ambition of his music-making (see cover feature, p76). Rightly regarded as classic now, Bowie’s music must have been sensational when he was starting out – and I’m sure not everyone ‘got it’ at the time. Passing years have a habit of making the new and strange in music feel comfortably familiar, and finally classic. That thought has been a reminder of the importance of seeking out uncommon sounds, and not just sticking to your comfort zone of old favourites.

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever.

  • Mr. Bowie Changes Trains: Station to Station Written for Artist Doug
    Mr. Bowie Changes Trains: Station to Station Written for artist Doug Aitken's 2015 "Station to Station" art event IN THE DAYS of vinyl album sleeves, rock music was always a synaesthetic experience, and David Bowie's Station to Station is nothing if not white: a white-out of cleansing and purging, if also of cocaine euphoria. Station to Station is also a bit red (the lettering) and a tad orange (the tangerine RCA label). White seemed right for Bowie in 1975/76, at least until the "Thin White Duke" talked foolishly and ill-advisedly of fascism and Hitler and you wondered if it was the White of Aryan supremacy that he meant to convey. Which of course it wasn't: half the Duke's group was black, for starters. Bowie's whole career is a journey from station to station, and his tenth album Station to Station remains one of the most impressive of his musical junctions: intense, passionate, focused, surging and urgently funky – stripped-back, too, just as its iconography is stripped-back and monochromatic after the hypertrophied dystopianism of Diamond Dogs and the funky-but- chic hustle of Young Americans. Station to Station is also a miracle, given the physical/chemical state of the Skeletal White Duke in the Los Angeles of 1975. (Was there ever a less Californian rock god than Bowie?) "I heard Station to Station and I thought it was brilliant, absolutely mindblowing," recalled the former Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, at whose L.A. home Bowie stayed in May and June of that year.
