Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

This thoroughly revised third edition of Allan F. Moore's ground-breaking book now co-authored with Remy Martin incorporates new material on rock music theory style change and the hermeneutic method developed in Moore’s Song Means (2012). An even larger array of musicians is discussed bringing the book right into the 21st century. Rock's 'primary text' – its sounds – is the focus of attention here. The authors argue for the development of a musicology particular to rock within the context of the background to the genres the beat and rhythm and blues styles of the early 1960s 'progressive' rock punk rock metal and subsequent styles. They also explore the fundamental issue of rock as a medium for self-expression and the relationship of this to changing musical styles. Rock: The Primary Text remains innovative in its exploration of an aesthetics of rock. | Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 explains how the definitive British rock performers of this epoch aimed not at the youthful rebellion for which they are legendary but at a highly self-conscious project of commenting on the business in which they were engaged. They did so by ironically appropriating the traditional forms of Victorian music hall. Faulk focuses on the mid to late 1960s when British rock bands who had already achieved commercial prominence began to aspire to aesthetic distinction. The book discusses recordings such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album the Kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society and the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols and television films such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus that defined rock's early high art moment. Faulk argues that these 'texts' disclose the primary strategies by which British rock groups mostly comprised of young working and lower middle-class men made their bid for aesthetic merit by sampling music hall sounds. The result was a symbolically charged form whose main purpose was to unsettle the hierarchy that set traditional popular culture above the new medium. Rock groups engaged with the music of the past in order both to demonstrate the comparative vitality of the new form and signify rock's new art status compared to earlier British pop music. The book historicizes punk rock as a later development of earlier British rock rather than a rupture. Unlike earlier groups the Sex Pistols did not appropriate music hall form in an ironic way but the band and their manager Malcolm McLaren were obsessed with the meaning of the past for the present in a distinctly modernist fashion. | British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas along with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters deliver a personal approach to the many issues themes and approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well-studied regions the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art illustrating the richness chronology and context of these unique artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and anthropology history of art as well as professionals engaged in rock art heritage and conservation. | The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Status Quo were one of the most successful influential and innovative bands of the 1970s. During the first half of the decade they wrote recorded and performed a stream of inventive and highly complex rock compositions developed 12 bar forms and techniques in new and fascinating ways and affected important musical and cultural trends. But despite global success on stage and in the charts they were maligned by the UK music press who often referred to them as lamebrained three-chord wonders and shunned by the superstar Disk Jockeys of the era who refused to promote their music. As a result Status Quo remain one of the most misunderstood and underrated bands in the history of popular music. Cope redresses that misconception through a detailed study of the band’s music and live performances related musical and cultural subtopics and interviews with key band members. The band is reinstated as a serious artistic and creative phenomenon of the 1970s scene and shown to be vital contributors to the evolution of rock. | Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Death and the Rock Star

Death and the Rock Star

The untimely deaths of Amy Winehouse (2011) and Whitney Houston (2012) and the ’resurrection’ of Tupac Shakur for a performance at the Coachella music festival in April 2012 have focused the media spotlight on the relationship between popular music fame and death. If the phrase ’sex drugs and rock’n’roll’ ever qualified a lifestyle it has left many casualties in its wake and with the ranks of dead musicians growing over time so the types of death involved and the reactions to them have diversified. Conversely as many artists who fronted the rock’n’roll revolution of the 1950s and 1960s continue to age the idea of dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse (which gave rise for instance to the myth of the ’27 Club’) no longer carries the same resonance that it once might have done. This edited collection explores the reception of dead rock stars ’rock’ being taken in the widest sense as the artists discussed belong to the genres of rock’n’roll (Elvis Presley) disco (Donna Summer) pop and pop-rock (Michael Jackson Whitney Houston Amy Winehouse) punk and post-punk (GG Allin Ian Curtis) rap (Tupac Shakur) folk (the Dutchman André Hazes) and ’world’ music (Fela Kuti). When music artists die their fellow musicians producers fans and the media react differently and this book brings together their intertwining modalities of reception. The commercial impact of death on record sales copyrights and print media is considered and the different justifications by living artists for being involved with the dead through covers sampling and tributes. The cultural representation of dead singers is investigated through obituaries biographies and biopics observing that posthumous fame provides coping mechanisms for fans and consumers of popular culture more generally to deal with the knowledge of their own mortality. Examining the contrasting ways in which male and female dead singers are portrayed in the media the book | Death and the Rock Star

Rocking The State Rock Music And Politics In Eastern Europe And Russia

Rocking The State Rock Music And Politics In Eastern Europe And Russia

Most readers of this book will have had at most a fleeting acquaintancewith the music of some of the groups described in this book. Groupssuch as Laibach (from Slovenia) Borghesia (Slovenia) Pankow (theGDR) and Gorky Park (USSR) have concentrated on the Western marketand have acquired followings in the United States and Western Europe. Other artists and groups such as Boris Grebenshikov and Aquarium(USSR) Sergei Kuryokhin (USSR) Goran Bregovic and White Button(Yugoslavia) and Plastic People of the Universe (Czechoslovakia) havealso seen some Western exposure. But for the most part the rock musicof that part of the world is terra incognita to Westerners. So too is thestory of their uneasy coexistence with communist authorities from thetime that rock first ~ppeared until the collapse of communism in 1989. This book aims to fill that vacuum. | Rocking The State Rock Music And Politics In Eastern Europe And Russia

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet is one of the seminal albums in rock history. Arguably it not only marks the advent of the ‘mature’ sound of the Rolling Stones but lays out a new blueprint for an approach to blues-based rock music that would endure for several decades. From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its songs Beggars Banquet reflected and helped define a moment marked by violence decay and upheaval. It marked a move away from the artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of foundational streams of American music – blues country – that had always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy in their music after 1968. This move coincided with and anticipated the ‘roots’ moves that many leading popular music artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike many of their peers whose music grew more ‘soft’ and subdued as they embraced traditional styles the music and attitude of the Stones only grew harder and more menacing and their status as representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones the 1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in 1968. | Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

The Poetry of Punk The Meaning Behind Punk Rock and Hardcore Lyrics

The Poetry of Punk The Meaning Behind Punk Rock and Hardcore Lyrics

Punk bands have produced an abundance of poetic texts some crude some elaborate in the form of song lyrics. These lyrics are an ideal means by which to trace the developments and explain the conflicts and schisms that have shaped and continue to shape punk culture. They can be described as the community’s collective ‘poetic voice ’ and they come in many different forms. Their themes range from romantic love to emotional distress to radical politics. Some songs are intended to entertain some to express strong feelings some to provoke some to spread awareness and some to foment unrest. Most have an element of confrontation of kicking against the pricks. Socially and epistemologically they play a central role in the scene’s internal discourse shaping communities and individual identities. The Poetry of Punk is an investigation into the Anglophone punk culture specifically in the UK and the US where punk originated in the mid-1970s its focus being on the song lyrics written and performed by punk rock and hardcore artists. | The Poetry of Punk The Meaning Behind Punk Rock and Hardcore Lyrics

Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

By 1976 the National Front had become the fourth largest party in Britain. In a context of national decline racism and fears that the country was collapsing into social unrest the Front won 19 per cent of the vote in elections in Leicester and 100 000 votes in London. In response an anti-fascist campaign was born which combined mass action to deprive the Front of public platforms with a mass cultural movement. Rock Against Racism brought punk and reggae bands together as a weapon against the right. At Lewisham in August 1977 fighting between the far right and its opponents saw two hundred people arrested and fifty policemen injured. The press urged the state to ban two rival sets of dangerous extremists. But as the papers took sides so did many others who determined to oppose the Front. Through the Anti-Nazi League hundreds of thousands of people painted out racist graffiti distributed leaflets and persuaded those around them to vote against the right. This combined movement was one of the biggest mass campaigns that Britain has ever seen. This book tells the story of the National Front and the campaign which stopped it. | Never Again Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League 1976-1982

Art Into Pop

Art Into Pop

This book first published in 1987 tells the intriguing and culturally complex story of the art school influence on postwar British popular music. Following Romantic attitudes from life class to recording studio it focuses on two key moments – the early 1960s when art students like John Lennon and Eric Clapton begin to play their own versions of American rock and blues and inflected youth music with Bohemian dreams and the late 1970s when punk musicians emerged from design courses and fashion departments to disrupt what were by then art-rock routines. Sixties rock Bohemians and seventies pop Situationists were in their different ways trying to solve the art students’ perennial problem – how to make a living from their art. Art Into Pop shows how this problem has been shaped by the history of British art education from its nineteenth-century origins to current arguments about ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ training. In their simultaneous pursuit of authenticity and artifice art school musicians exemplify the postmodern condition the collapse of any distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture the confusions of personal and commercial creativity. And so high pop theorists rub shoulders here with low pop practitioners experimental musicians debate avant-garde ideas with corporate packagers and artistic integrity becomes a matter of making oneself up.

Inside MTV

Inside MTV

MTV is the third major breakthrough in music broadcasting and the first since the late 1960s. Top Forty radio was initiated in the 1950s and along with free form or progressive rock molded rock music exposure for nearly twenty years. Many observers credit MTV with resurrecting the music industry from the throes of the Great Depression of 1979. Few would dispute its impact on contemporary film fashion and radio. Inside MTV examines the world of cablecasting the evolution of WASEC MTV VH-1 and some of their competitors. The strategies personalities promotions and the contents that placed MTV on the road to its dominant position are described. The many controversies surrounding the channel are thoroughly detailed and a good deal of the misinformation on the subject is corrected. It is a mere five years since MTV began as the third of four Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) channels created by two of America's largest conglomerates. Since then it has become a major force. Before MTV was conceived the relationship between television and rock music was weak at best. As the new partnership . developed a story of genius luck and discrimination began to unfold and a corporate innovation of major proportions and psychodemographic success emerged. MTV is now the most profitable 24-hour cable outlet beamed from a satellite. It reaches 30. 8 million households. How all this happened is chronicled in this major new book from a leading authority on the American music business.

The Songs of Joni Mitchell Gender Performance and Agency

The Songs of Joni Mitchell Gender Performance and Agency

An unorthodox musician from the start singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell's style of composing performing and of playing (and tuning) the guitar is unique. In the framework of sexual difference and the gendered discourses of rock this immediately begs the questions: are Mitchell's songs specifically feminine and if so to what extent and why? Anne Karppinen addresses this question focusing on the kind of music and lyrics Mitchell writes the representation of men and women in her lyrics how her style changes and evolves over time and how cultural context affects her writing. Linked to this are the concepts of subjectivity and authorship: when a singer-songwriter sings a song in the first person about whom are they actually singing? Mitchell offers a fascinating study for the songs she writes and sings are intricately woven from the strands of her own life. Using methods from critical discourse analysis this book examines recorded performances of songs from Mitchell's first nine studio albums and the contemporary reviews of these albums in Anglo-American rock magazines. In one of the only books to discuss Mitchell's recorded performances with a focus that extends beyond the seminal album Blue Karppinen explores the craft of Mitchell's songwriting and her own attitudes towards it as well as the dynamics and politics of rock criticism in the 1960s and 1970s more generally. | The Songs of Joni Mitchell Gender Performance and Agency

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The Music and Noise of the Stooges 1967-71 Lost in the Future

The Music and Noise of the Stooges 1967-71 Lost in the Future

The Stooges have come to be considered one of the most important rock bands especially in regard to the formation of punk. By emphasizing their influence on later developments however critics tend to overlook the significance of the band in their own context and era. The Music and Noise of the Stooges 1967-71 addresses such oversights. Utilizing the lenses of cultural criticism and sound studies (drawing on the thinking of Theodor Adorno Jacques Attali and Pierre Bourdieu among others) as well as contemporary and archival texts this extensively researched study analyzes the trajectory and musical output of the original Stooges. During the late 1960s and early 70s a moment when the dissonant energy of rock’n’roll was more than ever being subsumed by the record industry the Stooges were initially commercial failures with the band’s noisy music and singer Iggy Pop’s bizarre onstage performances confusing their label Elektra Records. As Begnal argues the Stooges embodied a tension between market forces and an innovative avant-garde artistic vision as they sought to liberate audiences from passivity and stimulate an immanent joy in the rock’n’roll moment. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Stooges that will appeal both to rock fans and scholars (especially in the fields of cultural studies the long Sixties musicology punk studies and performance studies). | The Music and Noise of the Stooges 1967-71 Lost in the Future

Philosophy of Western Music A Contemporary Introduction

Philosophy of Western Music A Contemporary Introduction

This is the first comprehensive book-length introduction to the philosophy of Western music that fully integrates consideration of popular music and hybrid musical forms especially song. Its author Andrew Kania begins by asking whether Bob Dylan should even have been eligible for the Nobel Prize in Literature given that he is a musician. This motivates a discussion of music as an artistic medium and what philosophy has to contribute to our thinking about music. Chapters 2-5 investigate the most commonly defended sources of musical value: its emotional power its form and specifically musical features (such as pitch rhythm and harmony). In chapters 6-9 Kania explores issues arising from different musical practices particularly work-performance (with a focus on classical music) improvisation (with a focus on jazz) and recording (with a focus on rock and pop). Chapter 10 examines the intersection of music and morality. The book ends with a consideration of what ultimately music is. Key Features Uses popular-song examples throughout but also discusses a range of musical traditions (notably rock pop classical and jazz) Explains both philosophical and musical terms when they are first introduced Provides publicly accessible Spotify playlists of the musical examples discussed in the book Each chapter begins with an overview and ends with questions for testing comprehension and stimulating further thought along with suggestions for further reading | Philosophy of Western Music A Contemporary Introduction
