Neopsichedelia UK MAP MUSIC PAGES Neopsichedelia U.K. ‘80 Il Rinascimento di Liverpool Alla fine degli anni 70 Liverpool torna an- cora una volta alla ribalta, sporadici av- venimenti con sempre maggiore inten- sità animano e scuotono i palcoscenici, ed ignari neomusicisti danno vita ad una nuova corrente musicale che riporterà questa città ai passati splendori. L’ esaurirsi dell’onda d’urto punk fa emergere nuove tendenze, un vento rin- novatore sferza sullo stanco panorama post-punk: è un virus contagioso che si diffonde a macchia d’olio in tutto il Re- gno Unito. Saranno pure le sostanze al- lucinogene, ma la rivoluzione ufficial- mente ha avuto inizio ed a torto o a ra- gione il movimento è soprannominato “neopsichedelico”. Tre entusiasti ragaz- zini, Pete Wylie chitarrista, Ian McCulloch cantante e Julian Cope bassista, nel mag- gio del 1977 formano i Crucial Three. La partenza è esaltante, ma il loro sodalizio dura approssimativamente sei settima- ne, in giugno si saranno già sciolti: un concentrato esplosivo di egocentrici, troppe “teste pensanti” confinate in un solo gruppo. Nell’autunno del 1978 de- buttano sulle scene gli Echo & the Bunnymen di Ian Mc Culloch, ed ironia vuole proprio come supporter della band nelle prime gigs l’amico Julian Cope con i suoi neonati Teardrop Exploders. Il terzo della vecchia ganga, Pete Wylie, non è da meno ed esordisce con gli Wah!.

It is hard to tell whether the ramshackle stage is inside or outside but it appears to be set up against a wall made of corrugated metal. All else is black. The camera cuts to a close-up of the curtains, which are parted to reveal a pale young man with crow’s nest hair wearing a sequined tuxedo and a skewed bow tie. The man holds a lit cigarette and behind him, overseeing proceedings, is a large statue of the Virgin Mary. As the man with the crow’s nest hair walks fully through the arch he opens his mouth and sings the words ‘As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago morn another little baby child is born…’. The song continues with the singer alternately shuffling as if embarrassed by the attention of the camera and then holding his arms aloft in declamation or fixing the viewer with a steely gaze.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

(Auster) 3 The Meddlesome Passenger Scott Rettberg Boston (Italicized titles from the collaborative hypertext novel The Unknown, by William Gillespie, Scott Rettberg, and Dirk Stratton) 2 The Unknown Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of us is that at the earlier stages of life we think we know everythingÑor to put it more usefully, we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Ignorance is not just a blank space on a personÕs mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. ÑThomas Pynchon When you get right down to it, itÕs all sublime. That is, indescribable. You donÕt stop, though. You keep trying to describe it. Language games become a form of breathing. What you donÕt know can and will hurt you, but not as much as what you already know, which has already hurt you and will continue to bring you pain. This is also the ultimate cause of joy.
