  • Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene
    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

  • The History of the Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie
    THE HISTORY OF THE TURTLES FEATURING FLO & EDDIE Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new millennium as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman... and as The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie, they continue to maintain a vigorous tour schedule. Two guys from Westchester. That's how Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka Flo and Eddie) refer to themselves. Two slightly bewildered kids thrust into the fast lane of rock 'n' roll stardom - hits, fame, national tours, hanging out with the Beatles, joining the Mothers of Invention, acting in the 200 Motels movie, and on and on ... Two guys from Westchester. Howard Kaylan (changed in 1965 from Kaplan, because that's how it always looked when he wrote his name) was born June 22, 1947 in the Bronx, and spent his first eight years in Manhattan before his father took a job with General Electric in Utica, New York. After the family moved there for a year or so, they moved to the Los Angeles area, settling in Westchester. Mark Volman was born April 19, 1947. After a brief period living in Redondo Beach, his family moved nearby to Westchester. Little did they know it at the time, but both Mark's and Howard's musical direction was forged by a crusty, old Mr. Ferguson who gave clarinet lessons in a drafty cubicle above the Westchester Music Store. Mark went to Orville Wright Jr. High, while Howard went to Airport Jr. High. They didn't know each other, but they both pursed their lips around clarinet reeds for Mr.

  • Sounding Subjectivity: Music, Gender, and Intimacy
    Sounding Subjectivity: Music, Gender, and Intimacy DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay Marie Bernhagen Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barry Shank, Advisor Professor Mary E. Thomas Professor Maurice E. Stevens Copyright by Lindsay Marie Bernhagen 2013 Abstract This dissertation centers on the role of musical experience in the production and maintenance of intimate, interpersonal relationships. Music acquires meaning in its ability to enable and amplify personal relationships among participants who share musical experience—not only through the semiotic decoding of lyrics and musical sounds that characterizes much music scholarship. Because there is scant language available for describing musical experience without reference to non-sonic elements such as lyrics, communal identity, or performers’ personae, this research relies on textual and ethnographic methods to examine how human experiences of musical sound are understood via racialized and gendered discourses of embodiment, intimacy, pleasure, and danger. Specifically, this project consists of textual analyses of music censorship discourse and ethnographic analyses of female musicians and listeners who seek out shared musical experiences in explicitly gendered contexts including a feminist punk movement, a girls’ rock music camp, and a long-standing women’s music festival. The introductory chapter offers an overview of the scholarship and theory that has influenced this project and sets up the theoretical framework I have developed through my own research. To establish the stakes of this project, the second chapter focuses on discourses of musical danger to reveal ii a persistent and anxious fascination with music’s relationship to the body and intimacy in the American imagination.

  • Listening Guide 9 “Mr. Tambourine Man”—1965 the Byrds/Bob Dylan
    Listening Guide 9 “Mr. Tambourine Man”—1965 The Byrds/Bob Dylan Time Lyrics Description McGuinn’s jangly twelve-string introduction sets up the song with a two-measure 0:01 riff, much like the beginning of The Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride” and George Harrison’s twelve-string guitar riff. The tambourine and bass enter, and the bass slides up to the fifth note of the scale, 0:05 creating a memorable sound as well. The bass sound was more powerful than most recordings of the day, due to careful compression and production. 0:08 Drums set up the entry of the vocals. Hey, Mr. As the instrumental accompaniment continues, the three vocalists (McGuinn, Crosby, 0:09 Tambourine Man and Gene Clark) harmonize the chorus. 0:23 A short instrumental and a drum fill set up the second half of the chorus. Hey, Mr. 0:25 Harmonization continues. Tambourine Man 0:40 As the chorus ends, a rising line in one of the guitars leads into the verse. McGuinn’s voice, alone for the verse, was a purposeful middle ground between 0:43 Take me for a trip John Lennon and Bob Dylan. The second half of the verse is a good time to hear that McGuinn still has folk I’m ready to go 1:10 influences in his singing, but is clearly more concerned about singing well than Dylan anywhere was. Two measures of instrumental prepare for the return of the chorus, with a gentle drum 1:29 setup. Hey, Mr. 1:33 Return of the three-part harmony for the chorus, as at the beginning.

  • 1967: a Year in the Life of the Beatles
    1967: A Year In The Life Of The Beatles History, Subjectivity, Music Linda Engebråten Masteroppgave ved Institutt for Musikkvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO November 2010 Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude towards my supervisor Stan Hawkins for all his knowledge, support, enthusiasm, and his constructive feedback for my project. We have had many rewarding discussions but we have also shared a few laughs about that special music and time I have been working on. I would also like to thank my fellow master students for both useful academically discussions as much as the more silly music jokes and casual conversations. Many thanks also to Joel F. Glazier and Nancy Cameron for helping me with my English. I thank John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all their great music and for perhaps being the main reason I begun having such a big interest and passion for music, and without whom I may not have pursued a career in a musical direction at all. Many thanks and all my loving to Joakim Krane Bech for all the support and for being so patient with me during the course of this process. Finally, I would like to thank my closest ones: my wonderful and supportive family who have never stopped believing in me. This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents. There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.
