Offering the first extended look at pop masculinity as exhibited by boy bands this volume links the evolving expressions of gender and sexuality in the boy band to wider economic and social changes that have resulted in new ways of representing what it is to be a man. The popularity of boy bands is unquestionable and their contributions to popular music are significant yet they have attracted relatively little study. This book fills that gap with chapters exploring the challenges of defining the boy band phenomenon its origins and history from the 1940s to the present the role of management and marketing the performance of gender and sexuality and the nature of fandom and fan agency. Throughout the author illuminates the ways in which identity politics influence the production and consumption of pop music and shows how the mainstream pop of boy bands can both reinforce and subvert gender and class hierarchies.

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

Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

In 1905 Albert Einstein declared speeds greater than light to be impossible. This book describes the author’s decades-long search for the hypothetical subatomic particles known as tachyons that violate this principle. This book is a scientific detective story. The crime is speeding—that is the possible breaking of the cosmic speed limit namely the speed of light as stipulated by Einstein. This detective story is also a memoir written by a member of a band of tachyon hunters. The author’s pursuit of tachyons has been met with skepticism from most physicists who note correctly that no such superluminal particles have ever been surely observed and that there have been many false sightings. Nevertheless considerable circumstantial evidence for tachyons has already been published and an ongoing experiment could decide the issue in the next few years. This book is written for the general reader containing humor and eliminating jargon whenever possible and will also be of interest to scientists. The hunt for the tachyon will fascinate all readers who approach the study of physics with curious and open minds. | Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

Eric Bogle Music and the Great War 'An Old Man's Tears'

Eric Bogle Music and the Great War 'An Old Man's Tears'

Eric Bogle has written many iconic songs that deal with the futility and waste of war. Two of these in particular ‘And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ and ‘No Man’s Land (a. k. a. The Green Fields of France)’ have been recorded numerous times in a dozen or more languages indicating the universality and power of their simple message. Bogle’s other compositions about the First World War give a voice to the voiceless prominence to the forgotten and personality to the anonymous as they interrogate the human experience celebrate its spirit and empathise with its suffering. This book examines Eric Bogle’s songs about the Great War within the geographies and socio-cultural contexts in which they were written and consumed. From Anzac Day in Australia and Turkey to the ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland and from small Aboriginal communities in the Coorong to the influence of prime ministers and rock stars on a world stage we are urged to contemplate the nature and importance of popular culture in shaping contemporary notions of history and national identity. It is entirely appropriate that we do so through the words of an artist who Melody Maker described as ‘the most important songwriter of our time’. | Eric Bogle Music and the Great War 'An Old Man's Tears'

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

Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development An Intersubjective Object Relations Listening Perspective on Self Attachment Trauma and Reality

Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development An Intersubjective Object Relations Listening Perspective on Self Attachment Trauma and Reality

Traditionally trauma has been defined as negatively impacting external events with resulting damage. This book puts forth an entirely different thesis: trauma is universal occurring under even the best of circumstances and unavoidably sculpting the very building blocks of character structure. In Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development Dr. Carl Shubs depathologizes the experience of trauma by presenting a listening perspective which helps recognize the presence and effects of traumatic experiences of normal development (TEND) by using a reconstruction of object relations theory. This outlook redefines trauma as the breach in intrapsychic organization of Self Affect and Other (SAO) the three components of object relations units which combine to form intricate and changeable constellations that are no less than the total experience of living in any given moment. Bridging the gap between the trauma and analytic communities as well as integrating intrapsychic and relational frameworks the SAO/ TEND perspective provides a trauma-based band of attunement for attending to all relational encounters including those occurring in therapy. Though targeted to mental health professionals this book will help enable therapists and sophisticated lay readers alike to recognize the impact of relational encounters providing new tools to understand the traumas we have experienced and to minimize the hold they have on us. | Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development An Intersubjective Object Relations Listening Perspective on Self Attachment Trauma and Reality

Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre Analysing Stylistic Debates and Transgressions

Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre Analysing Stylistic Debates and Transgressions

Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre traces the uses and transgressions of genre in the music of Radiohead and studies the band’s varied reception in online and offline media. Radiohead’s work combines traditional rock sounds with a unique and experimental approach towards genre that sets the band apart from the contemporary mainstream. A play with diverse styles and audience expectations has shaped Radiohead’s musical output and opened up debates about genre amongst critics fans and academics alike. Interpretations speak of a music that is referential of the past but also alludes to the future. Applying both music- and discourse-analytical methods the book discusses how genre manifests in Radiohead’s work and how it is interpreted amongst different audience groups. It explores how genre and generic flexibility affect the listeners’ search for musical meaning and ways of discussion. This results in the development of a theoretical framework for the study of genre in individual popular music oeuvres that explores the equal validity of widely differing forms of reception as a multidimensional network of meaning. While Radiohead’s music is the product of an eclectic mixture of musical influences and styles the book also shows how the band’s experimental stance has increasingly fostered debates about Radiohead’s generic novelty and independence. It asks what remains of genre in light of its past or imminent transgression. Offering new perspectives on popular music genre transgression and the music and reception of Radiohead the book will appeal to academics students and those interested in Radiohead and matters of genre. It contributes to scholarship in musicology popular music media and cultural studies. | Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre Analysing Stylistic Debates and Transgressions

Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music Performance Authority Authenticity

Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music Performance Authority Authenticity

This interdisciplinary volume explores the girl’s voice and the construction of girlhood in contemporary popular music visiting girls as musicians activists and performers through topics that range from female vocal development during adolescence to girls’ online media culture. While girls’ voices are more prominent than ever in popular music culture the specific sonic character of the young female voice is routinely denied authority. Decades old clichés of girls as frivolous silly and deserving of contempt prevail in mainstream popular image and sound. Nevertheless girls find ways to raise their voices and make themselves heard. This volume explores the contemporary girl’s voice to illuminate the way ideals of girlhood are historically specific and the way adults frame and construct girlhood to both valorize and vilify girls and women. Interrogating popular music childhood and gender it analyzes the history of the all-girl band from the Runaways to the present; the changing anatomy of a girl’s voice throughout adolescence; girl’s participatory culture via youtube and rock camps and representations of the girl’s voice in other media like audiobooks film and television. Essays consider girl performers like Jackie Evancho and Lorde and all-girl bands like Sleater Kinney The Slits and Warpaint as well as performative 'girlishness' in the voices of female vocalists like Joni Mitchell Beyoncé Miley Cyrus Taylor Swift Kathleen Hanna and Rebecca Black. Participating in girl studies within and beyond the field of music this book unites scholarly perspectives from disciplines such as musicology ethnomusicology comparative literature women’s and gender studies media studies and education to investigate the importance of girls’ voices in popular music and to help unravel the complexities bound up in music and girlhood in the contemporary contexts of North America and the United Kingdom. | Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music Performance Authority Authenticity

The Discourse of Protest Resistance and Social Commentary in Reggae Music A Bakhtinian Analysis of Pacific Reggae

The Discourse of Protest Resistance and Social Commentary in Reggae Music A Bakhtinian Analysis of Pacific Reggae

A comprehensive engaging and timely Bakhtinian examination of the ways in which the music and lyrics of Pacific reggae aspects of performance a record album cover and the social and political context construct social commentary resistance and protest. Framed predominantly by the theory and philosophy of Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin this innovative investigation of the discourse of Pacific reggae in New Zealand produces a multi-faceted analysis of the dialogic relationships that create meaning in this genre of popular music. It focuses on the award-winning EP What’s Be Happen? by the band Herbs which has been recognised for its ground-breaking music and social commentary in the early 1980s. Herbs’ songs address the racism and ideology of the apartheid regime in South Africa and the relationship between sport and politics as well as universally relevant conflicts over race relations the experiences of migrants and the historic and ongoing loss of indigenous people’s lands. The book demonstrates the striking compatibility between Bakhtin’s theorisation of utterances as ethical acts and reggae music along with the Rastafari philosophy that underpins it which speaks of resistance to social injustice of ethical values and the kind of society people seek to achieve. It will appeal to a cross-disciplinary audience of scholars in Bakhtin studies; discourse analysis; popular cultural studies; the literary analysis of popular music and lyrics and those with an interest in the culture and politics of Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific region.
