  • Walk This Way- Estratégias De Remodelagem Da Banda Aerosmith Direcionadas Ao Mainstream
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação ______________________________________________________________________ Walk this way- Estratégias de remodelagem da banda Aerosmith direcionadas ao mainstream. Um estudo de caso1 Camilla LAPA2 Lorena AROUCHE3 Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE RESUMO Aerosmith, banda de hard rock surgida no início da década de 70, precisou ser reconfigurada estrategicamente, incorporando uma linguagem audiovisual na forma de videoclipes e a roupagem pop sonora para consolidar-se no mainstream nas décadas seguintes. A pesquisa, aqui apresentada, configura-se em estudo de caso, que tem como fundamentação teórica os estudos sobre Música pop e Mainstream desenvolvidos por Frederic Martel. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Videoclipe; mainstream; rock. Este artigo pretende investigar de que forma o audiovisual videoclipe aliado a estratégias outras introduziu, definitivamente, a banda, originalmente, hard rock Aerosmith ao universo pop/ mainstream, agregando ao grupo uma nova geração de fãs, telespectadores da MTV. Qual a estratégia de aproximação engajada a seduzir os jovens, utilizada nos videoclipes e nos canções? O Aerosmith ganhou inúmeros prêmios na época, que se configurou em fase pop do grupo. Como a gravadora Geffen moldou uma estratégia para re-estruturar uma banda de rock, que havia saído do foco da mídia há anos, em rock pop? Como surgiu a ideia dos videoclipes, porque eles funcionaram? Tais questões acima supracitadas balizaram e nortearam a pesquisa para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Figuram como o mote que despertou a curiosidade a respeito das estratégias específicas que tangenciam para o mainstream, utilizadas por empresários, produtores e especialmente a gravadora. Nos anos 80 o videoclipe foi amplamente utilizado como uma forma de divulgação para o artista.

  • Jerry Cantrell Jerry Cantrell
    Jerry Cantrell Jerry Cantrell - vocals / guitar Robert Trujillo - bass Mike Bordin - drums From the lyrically and sonically mournful “Psychotic Break” to when the mental and musical exorcism of Jerry Cantrell's nearly 73-minute aural Degradation Trip concludes with the lovely, somnolent, bluesy strains of “Gone,” the singer/guitarist's Roadrunner debut is a sundry and sometimes scary journey to the center of a psyche. It may not always be a pretty trip, but it's a close-to-the-bone excursion that haunts both its creator and its listeners. As the multi-faceted artist relates, “In '98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs,” says the then-fully-bearded Cantrell. “I rarely bathed during that period of writing; I sent out for food, I didn't really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience. The album is an overview of birth to now. That's all,” he grins, though the visceral and haunting songs, by turns soaring and raw, do reflect that often-naked and sometimes-grim truth. “Boggy Depot [his 1998 solo bow] is like Kindergarten compared to this,” he furthers. “The massive sonic growth from Boggy Depot to Degradation Trip is comparable to the difference between our work in the Alice In Chains albums Facelift to Dirt, which was also a tremendous leap.” And all of Cantrell's 25 prolifically penned songs will see the light of day by 2003. Degradation Trip, which will be released June 18, is comprised of 14 songs from the personal, transcendent writing marathon that inspired such self-searching cuts as “Bargain Basement Howard Hughes,” “Hellbound,” and “Profalse Idol.” The second batch of songs—“as sad and brutal as Degradation Trip” —Cantrell promises, are due out on Roadrunner 2003.

  • The Lakes Country
    The Lakes Country by ARCH MERRILL Reprinted from THE DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE ROCHESTER, NEW YORK COPYRIGHTED, GANNETT COMPANY All Rights Reserved CHAPTER ILLUSTRATIONS BY GERALD MALONEY PRINTED 1944 BY LOUIS HEINDL & SON ROCHESTER, N.Y. FOREWORD One remembers the English lake country for charm of beauty, restorative power for tired bodies, jaded nerves, and restless minds. Beyond all this he cherishes its contribution to English letters. Men lived and wrote beside these moun- tain-encircled waters. Just so the Finger Lakes, Conesus, Hemlock, Canadice, Honeoye, Canandaigua, Seneca, Keuka "old Indian lakes, with names like liquid music," hold our aff ection. Fascinating for geological study, satisfying in beauty, recreative in quiet serenity, the lakes have special significance because men here on their bordering hillsides have entered richly into the abundant experiment of making a life. And we are indeed fortunate that one who understands men, trusts them, and truly likes them has gone to meet the lakes and the people. And because they had for him a like goodwill for that he always carries in his heart they told him gladly their well treasured lore. Discriminating and honest collector, keen observer, inci- sive reporter, word artist, fascinating teller of tales, Arch Merrill makes live again in this t'olume, the days of yes- terday. Here you shall hear "the voice of the lake,"' and stalk a "mystic countryside," come upon a "chosen place," sense stimulation through learning, stand beside the "cradle of aviation" meet a "lovely vixen" and a "vineyard Queen." So shall you also find a good companion through The Lakes Country.
