Clearly, this is right up my alley, and indeed, it's perhaps the finest example of this kind of long-form music criticism that I've yet read, but even I find parts of it to be a little tedious; the section about the creation of the album artwork is tedious, for instance, but the song-by-song breakdown is pretty consistently compelling if you love London Calling, anyway and I also appreciated the "Where Are They Now A page record review-- and of one of my all-time favorite records, no less!

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • 'Police on My Back' Was Written in England by Eddy Grant and Recor
    This is the Author's Accepted Manuscript of a publication in Social Identities, vol 19, no 5 (2013), pp. 536-551. ‘Police On My Back’ and the Postcolonial Experience ‘Police On My Back’ was written in England by Eddy Grant and recorded by his group, the Equals, in 1967. Since then it has been covered by a number of artists. In this article I am concerned with the original and four covers. Over the forty years between the Equals version of the song and the final version with which I am concerned the meaning of the lyrics has changed from being an expression of Jamaican rude boy culture to being a song that expresses the oppression of migrants from British and European colonies living in the metropoles of the colonisers. This article tracks the changes in musical and lyrical expression in the song against the increasingly oppressive circumstances of those migrants and their descendents. These are the circumstances that contributed to the British riots of 1981 and of 2011, and the French riots of 1981 and the many subsequent riots climaxing in those of 2005. ‘Police On My Back’ has always been hybrid. Grant’s version placed rude boy lyrics with a British beat group sound. Later, as the lyrics came to reflect the circumstances of the migrants, so the musical backing came to include a variety of musical forms many of which expressed the heritages of the performers and asserted the legitimacy of those heritages in a multicultural context. 1 ‘Police On My Back’; postcolonial; Equals; the Clash; Lethal Bizzle; riots One song that can be read as a marker of the changing experience of migrants in Britain and Europe is ‘Police On My Back’.

  • Bologna CLASH
    1 Giugno 1980 Piazza Maggiore – Bologna CLASH abstracts tratti da “Non disperdetevi” di Oderso Rubini e Andrea Tinti Il concerto dei Clash in Piazza Maggiore è stato l'inizio per tanti musicisti e per tanti giovani, che si sono avvicinati per la prima volta ad un genere musicale. La piazza era piena e tra il pubblico c'erano tantissimi adolescenti. Quel live colpì pure noi, che eravamo già un po' smaliziati, figuriamoci che impatto ebbe sui giovanissimi. Segnò la vita di tanti. Saverio Pasotti – Chitarra Wind Open Lavorai alla realizzazione dell'iniziativa voluta da Zangheri in stretta collaborazione e in piena sintonia con la squadra costituita da Mauro Felicori. La rassegna RITMICITTA’ culminò in un concerto in Piazza Maggiore destinato a suscitare, come ho già ricordato, molte polemiche. Il momento di maggior richiamo fu l'esibizione dei Clash, complesso che ci venne indicato da Massimo Buda, il nostro critico musicale; ma ovviamente cercammo di coinvolgere nella eassegna anche i gruppi bolognesi. Band nate in aperta contestazione con l'amministrazione comunale salivano sul palco di una manifestazione organizzata dal Comune. Eravamo consapevoli della scelta artistica un po' "al limite" che gruppi come i Clash rappresentavano, ma anche questo si collocava nel solco che poi avremmo percorso negli anni successivi. Walter Vitali – Sindaco di Bologna il Comune organizzò il concerto dei Clash in Piazza Maggiore, che forse non hanno mai suonato, durante tutta la loro carriera, in una cornice così suggestiva. Era la rivolta musicale britannica regalata su un piatto d'argento, per far capire ai ragazzi quanto il Comune fosse loro vicino.

More complex than it should be, music link art, society, space and culture, and by its all forms it is a system.

One of us works on the paper of music in geography, the other on sensible territories. Both are thinking that music can be relevant in the next years, and not only in geography.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.
