L E T T E R F R O M T H E E D I TO R

Welcome to Bloomsbury Music & Sound Studies Welcome to the new Music & Sound Studies catalogue. As you will have noticed, for the first time this catalogue is coming out under the Bloomsbury name instead of the separate Continuum and Bloomsbury Academic imprints. We wanted to give you some background to this rebranding: in 2008, Bloomsbury decided to invest in building a new academic division. Growth since that decision was taken has been very rapid; we now publish around 1,100 titles each year, with a particularly big presence in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and our backlist comprises some 20,000 titles. The purchase of Continuum in 2011 was a key part of this growth.

We believe we are stronger as a group, which is why we have taken the strategic decision to adopt the Bloomsbury name for all academic titles that we publish. The values of Continuum, Berg and our other imprints, which you have appreciated over the years, are already integral to the larger entity that is Bloomsbury. Much has changed over the past 2 years, but we remain as committed to our authors and to publishing the same high quality textbooks, course books, and research.

In this catalogue, we are excited to announce some very important new titles. We’ve re-launched the 33 1/3 series under the Bloomsbury name and will be releasing 20 new volumes on new albums over the next two years. First up, in October 2013, is a brilliant book by Darran Anderson on Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson shortly followed by Phillip Crandall’s diligently-researched take on Andrew W.K.’s cult classic, I Get Wet. Finally, we are delighted to promote our global Bloomsbury website: www.bloomsbury.com. This site brings together everything under the Bloomsbury Group, including Continuum, Berg, Methuen Drama, Arden Shakespeare, T&T Clark, Bristol Classical Press, and A&C Black titles. The site features enhanced academic functionality such as online previews, digital inspection copies, textbook companion sites and online resources. Go to www.bloomsbury.com/academic for more information.

I hope you enjoy reading our latest catalogue.

Experimental Music and the Aesthetics of Failure eldritch Priest Reshaping debates on failure as an aesthetic category, Priest shows failure to be a highly dubious concept. The book frames recent experimental composition as a deviant kind of sound art whose affective and formal elements reflect on current issues in contemporary culture, and offers analyses of musical works and performance practices that are rarely heard, let alone considered as significant cultural phenomena - showing the role that obscurity and the esoteric have in articulating current cultural realities. Ambitious in content and experimental in its approach, Boring Formless Nonsense will challenge and fracture your views on failure, creativity, and experimental music.

ELDRITCH PRIEST is a composer, writer and co-artistic director of the experimental music collective Neither/Nor. Priest’s essays on musical aesthetics and avant-garde poetics have appeared in various academic journals including Postmodern Culture, Radical Musicology and Mosaic.

Lexicon of the Mouth Poetics and Politics of Voice and the Oral Imaginary Brandon LaBelle Expands understandings of voice and the poetics of gibberish showing how speech is fundamentally shaped by the complex dynamics of the mouth.

While the eyes may lead to the soul, the mouth exposes the vitality of the body. Examining the movements of the mouth, or what LaBelle terms “micro-oralities,” this book considers the relation of voice and mouth, suggesting that the importance of voicing is inextricably bound to the exertions of the oral.

BRANDON LABELLE is Professor at the National Academy of the Arts in Bergen, Norway. He is also the editor of Errant Bodies Press and organizer of the related Surface Tension project.

SOUND STUDIES

Sound, Music, Affect Theorizing Sonic Experience Edited by Marie Thompson and Ian Biddle “This collection of erudite, provocative essays is likely to become a classic.”

—Suzanne G. Cusick, New York University, USA The first section sets out key methodological and theoretical concerns, focussing on the relationships between affective models and sound. The second section deals with particular musical case studies, exploring how reference to affect theory might change or reshape some of the ways we are able to make sense of musical materials. The third section examines the politics and practice of sonic disruption: from the notion of noise as ‘prophecy’, to the appropriation of ‘bad vibes’ for pleasurable aesthetic and affective experiences. And the final section engages with some of the ways in which affect can help us understand the politics of chill, relaxation and intimacy as sonic encounters. The result is a rich and multifaceted consideration of sound, music and the affective, from scholars with backgrounds in cultural theory, history, literary studies, media studies, architecture, philosophy and musicology.

MARIE THOMPSON is a PhD candidate at Newcastle University, UK. IAN BIDDLE is Senior Lecturer and Head of Postgraduate Studies in Music at Newcastle University, UK. UK April 2013 | US February 2013 PB 9781441114679 | £17.99 | $29.95 Individual eBook 9781441192400 | £14.99 | $25.99

Sonic Possible Worlds Hearing the Continuum of Sound Salomé Voegelin Inspired by its use in literary theory, film criticism and the discourse of games design, Voegelin adapts and develops possible world theory in relation to sound. David Lewis’ Possible World philosophical concept is juxtaposed with Merleau-Ponty’s life-world, to produce a meeting of the semantic and the phenomenological at the place of listening.

The central tenet of this book is that at present traditional musical compositions and contemporary sonic output are approached and investigated through separate and distinct critical languages and histories. As a consequence, no continuous and comparative study of the field - as exists in literary studies for example - is possible. Until now.

Towards an Ontology of Noise Greg Hainge Everyone knows what noise is. Or do they? Can we in fact say that one man’s noise is another teenager’s music? Is noise in fact only an auditory phenomenon or does it extend far beyond this realm? If our common definitions of noise are necessarily subjective and noise is not just unpleasant sound, then it merits a closer look (or listen). Hainge sets out to define noise in this way, to find within it a series of operations common across its multiple manifestations that allow us to apprehend it as something other than a highly subjective term that tells us very little. Examining a wide range of texts, including Sartre’s novel Nausea and David Lynch’s iconic films Eraserhead and Inland Empire, Hainge investigates some of the 20th-century’s most infamous noisemongers to suggest that they’re not that noisy after all; and it finds true noise in some surprising places.

Resonances Noise and Contemporary Music Edited by Michael Goddard, Benjamin Halligan and Nicola Spelman “A massive achievement…which succeeds as both music scholarship and cultural contextualization, particularly in relation to artists in other media (Ballard, Artaud) and key scholars (Attali, Adorno, Benjamin).” —Allan F Moore, Professor of Popular Music, University of Surrey, UK, author of Rock: the Primary Text and Song Means Noise seems to stand for a lack of aesthetic grace, to alienate or distract rather than enrapture.

And yet the drones of psychedelia, the racket of garage rock and punk, the thudding of rave, the feedback of shoegaze and post-rock, the bombast of thrash and metal, the clatter of jungle and the stuttering of electronica, together with notable examples of avant-garde noise art, have all found a place in the history of contemporary musics. Noise therefore is the untold story of contemporary popular music, and in a critical exploration of noise lies the possibility of a new narrative: one that is wide-ranging, connects the popular to the underground and avant-garde, fully posits the studio as a musical instrument, and demands new critical and theoretical paradigms of those seeking to write about music.

The Power of Music

new

Pioneering Discoveries in the New Science of Song Elena Mannes

in PB

The award-winning creator of the acclaimed documentary The Music Instinct: Science & Song, explores the power of music and its connection to the body, the brain, and the world of nature. One remarkable recent study, analyzing the cries of newborns, shows that infants’ cries contain common musical intervals. Physics experiments show that sound waves can physically change the structure of a material; musician and world-famous conductor Daniel Barenboim believes musical sound vibrations physically penetrate our bodies, shifting molecules as they do.

The Power of Music follows visionary researchers and accomplished musicians to the crossroads of science and culture, to discover: how much of our musicality is learned and how much is innate? Can examining the biological foundations of music help scientists unravel the intricate web of human cognition and brain function? Why is music virtually universal across cultures and time--does it provide some evolutionary advantage? Can music make people healthier?

ELENA MANNES has won six Emmys and many other national awards for her documentaries. Her grandparents founded the Mannes College of Music in New York City; her great uncle, Walter Damrosch, conducted the Metropolitan Opera and was the instigator for the building of Carnegie Hall. She lives in New York City.

Jim Rogers “A carefully documented analysis is a welcome relief from the ‘digital deliria’ often associated with discussions of the music industry. A welcome contribution to the growing literature on the political economy of the evolving media industries.” —Janet Wasko, Professor and Knight Chair for Communication Research, University of Oregon, USA This book challenges the conventional wisdom that the internet is ‘killing’ the music industry.

While technological innovations (primarily in the form of peer-to-peer file-sharing) have evolved to threaten the economic health of major transnational music companies, Rogers illustrates how those same companies have themselves formulated highly innovative response strategies to negate the harmful effects of the internet. In short, it documents how the radical transformative potential of the internet is being suppressed by legal and organisational innovations.

John Cage and Buddhist Ecopoetics Peter Jaeger “A lo-fi commentary on how some tenets of Buddhist thought, especially as filtered through D. T. Suzuki and Alan Watts, were pragmatically adapted in radical mid-20th-centry North American poetry and art.” —Charles Bernstein, University of Pennsylvania, USA John Cage was among the first wave of post-war American artists and intellectuals to be influenced by Zen Buddhism and it was an influence that led him to become engaged with our current ecological crisis.

This book posits the question: what did Buddhism mean to Cage? And how did his understanding of Buddhist philosophy impact on his representation of nature? Following Cage’s own creative innovations in the poem-essay form and his use of the ancient Chinese text, the I Ching to shape his music and writing, this book outlines a new critical language that reconfigures writing and silence.

Music After Deleuze Edward Campbell “Explains key Deleuzian concepts in clear, accessible language and uses them to think about music in fundamentally new ways.” —Björn Heile, Senior Lecturer in Music, University of Glasgow, UK Explores how Deleuzian concepts of difference, identity and repetition offer novel approaches to Western art music from Beethoven to Boulez and Bernhard Lang as well as jazz improvisation, popular and sacred music. The concepts of the ‘rhizome’, the ‘assemblage’ and the ‘refrain’ enable us to think of the specificity of musical works as the meeting of productive forces, for example in the contemporary opera of Dusapin and the experimental music theatre of Aperghis. The concepts of smooth and striated space form the starting point for musical and political reflections on pitch in Western and Eastern music. Deleuze’s notion of time as multiple illumines the distinctive conceptions of musical time found in Debussy, Messiaen, Boulez, Carter and Grisey. Finally, the innovative semiotic theory forged in Deleuze-Guattarian philosophy offers valuable insights for a semiotics capable of engaging with the innovative, molecular music of Lachenmann, Aperghis and Levinas.

Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste Carl Wilson For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let’s Talk About Love, Wilson went on a quest to find his inner Céline Dion fan and explore how we define ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. At once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of the past few decades, Dion’s critics call her mawkish and overblown while millions of fans around the world adore her “huge pipes” and even bigger feelings. How can anyone say which side is right?

Let’s Talk About Love

This new, expanded edition goes even further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to themes ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery. The original text is followed by lively arguments and stories from Nick Hornby, Krist Novoselic, Ann Powers, Mary Gaitskill, James Franco, Sheila Heti and others.

In a new afterword, the author examines recent cultural changes in love and hate, including the impact of technology and social media on how taste works (or doesn’t) in the 21st century.

CARL WILSON is the music critic at Slate and also writes for The Globe and Mail, Hazlitt, The New York Times Magazine and many other online and print publications. He lives in Toronto, where he is the doorman at the Trampoline Hall Lecture Series.

DJ Culture in the Mix Power, Technology, and Social Change in Electronic Dance Music Edited by Bernardo Attias, Anna Gavanas and Hillegonda C. Rietveld “Fills a long overdue void in DJ and electronic dance music literature.

Interdisciplinary in focus and approach, the essays within raise thoughtful questions and offer a range of critical insights into the complexities of DJ cultures and practices around the world.”

—Rebekah Farrugia, Oakland University, USA The DJ stands at a juncture of technology, performance and culture in the increasingly uncertain climate of the popular music industry, functioning both as pioneer of musical taste and gatekeeper of the music industry.

Together with promoters, producers, video jockeys (VJs) and other professionals in dance music scenes, DJs have pushed forward music techniques and technological developments in last few decades, from mashups and remixes to digital systems for emulating vinyl performance modes. This book is the outcome of international collaboration among academics in the study of electronic dance music. Mixing established and upcoming researchers from the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Australia and Brazil, the collection offers critical insights into DJ activities in a range of global dance music contexts. In particular, chapters address digitization and performativity, as well as issues surrounding the gender dynamics and political economies of DJ cultures and practices.

This is the first scholarly collection uniquely dedicated to DJ practices in electronic dance music, surveying the DJ’s cultural role as both pioneer and gatekeeper.

The Beats and Rock Culture Simon Warner

new in PB

“An exhaustive and always illuminating account of the Beats’ profound and still-registering impact on radical pop from Dylan to hip hop.” —Barney Hoskyns, author of Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits This fascinating cultural history delves into a wide range of issues: Was rock culture the natural heir to the activities of the Beats? Were the hippies the Beats of the 1960s? What attitude did the Beat writers have towards musical forms and particularly rock music? How did literary works shape the consciousness of leading rock music-makers and their followers? Why did Beat literature retain its cultural potency with later rock musicians who rejected hippie values? How did rock musicians use the material of Beat literature in their own work? How did Beat figures become embroiled in the process of rock creativity?

How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin The Untold Story of a Noisy Revolution Leslie Woodhead Imagine a world where Beatlemania was against the law — recordings scratched onto medical X-rays, merchant sailors bringing home contraband LPs, spotty broadcasts taped from western AM radio late in the night. This was no fantasy world populated by Blue Meanies but the USSR, where a vast nation of music fans risked repression to hear the defining band of the British Invasion. The music of the Fab Four opened the eyes of an entire generation of Soviet youth to seventy years of authoritarianism and suppression of Western popular music. This book tells the improbable story of Russian kids who discovered the band — by stealth, by way of whispers, through the illicit late night broadcasts on Radio Luxembourg — and helped bring down the Soviet Union.

His films have won many international awards, including recognition by the Emmy and Peabodys in America, and by BAFTA, and the Royal Television Society in the UK.

Talk About a Dream The Essential Interviews of Bruce Springsteen Edited by Christopher Phillips and Louis P. Masur “No artist has ever been as candid, informative, and entertaining as Bruce is in this wonderful book. As revealing as you could possibly hope. I highly recommend it.” —Nils Lofgren, E Street Band guitarist “A fascinating addition to the growing shelf of Springsteen studies.”— Kirkus Reviews Bruce Springsteen often prefers to let his music do the talking. His onstage stories and shaggy dog tales have long entertained his fans, but his songs and his guitar provide the most direct line to their hearts. Considering his prominence on the rock ‘n’ roll landscape, Springsteen has spent remarkably little of his 40-year recording career speaking to the press. But when he does decide to sit down and talk, the conversations tend to be momentous. Q&As with Bruce Springsteen reveal an artist with great insight and selfawareness, a student of music, an avid searcher, an astute observer of humanity from the boardwalk to America at large.

Much has been written about the Boss, but few can be said to know the man as well as he knows himself, and the best of Springsteen’s own words are collected here. Gathering more than thirty different interviews spanning from 1973 to 2013, this volume captures his remarkable personality.

CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS is editor and publisher of Backstreets, the premier Springsteen magazine, as well as Backstreets.com, the primary web destination for Springsteen fans.

The Life of Elliott Smith William Todd Schultz Elliott Smith was one of the most gifted songwriters of the 90s, adored by fans for his subtly melancholic words and melodies. There was trauma from an early age, years of drug abuse and a chronic sense of disconnection that seemed almost self-engineered. Smith died violently in Los Angeles in 2003, under what some believe to be questionable circumstances, of a single fatal stab wound to the chest. By this time fame had found him, and fans felt he spoke directly to them: lonely, lovelorn, frustrated, fighting until he could fight no more. And yet, although his achingly intimate lyrics carried the weight of truth, Smith remained unknowable.

Starting At Zero His Own Story Jimi Hendrix Edited by Alan Douglas and Peter Neal It took just four years in the spotlight for Jimi Hendrix to become an international cultural icon. The sheer impact and originality of his music and his mastery of the guitar placed him forever amongst musical giants. But what of the man behind the public image? Modest and intensely private by nature, Jimi was shrouded in intrigue from the moment he first came into the public eye, and the mystery has only grown with time. Much has been written about him by experts, fans and critics, some of it true and some of it not. He did, however, leave his own account of himself locked away like a Chinese puzzle in his many interviews, lyrics, writings, poems, diaries and even stage raps.

Starting At Zero brings all these elements together in narrative form. The result is an intimate, funny and poetic memoir – one that tells, for the first time, Jimi’s own story as only he could tell it.

ALAN DOUGLAS is a record producer who produced many of Hendrix’s posthumous releases.

PETER NEAL is a documentary film director, whose credits include the 1968 Hendrix short documentary Experience.

Respect Yourself Stax Records and the Soul Explosion Robert Gordon The story of Stax Records unfolds like a Greek tragedy. A white brother and sister build a monument to racial harmony in blighted south Memphis during the civil rights movement. Their success soon pits the siblings against each other, and the brother abandons his sister for a visionary AfricanAmerican partner. Under integrated leadership, Stax explodes as a national player until, Icarus-like, the heights they achieve result in their tragic demise. They fall, losing everything, and the sanctuary they created is torn to the ground. A generation later, Stax is rebuilt brick by brick and is once again transforming disenfranchised youth into stellar young musicians.

Set in the world of 1960s and ‘70s soul music, Respect Yourself is a character-driven story of racial integration, and then of black power and economic independence. It’s about music and musicians—Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, and Booker T. and the M.G.’s, Stax’s interracial house band. It’s about a small independent company’s struggle to survive in an increasingly conglomerate-oriented world. And always at the center of the story is Memphis, Tennessee, an explosive city struggling through volatile years.

ROBERT GORDON is the author of It Came from Memphis, Can’t Be Satisfied, The King on the Road, and The Elvis Treasures. He won a Grammy in 2011 for his liner notes to the Big Star box set Keep an Eye on the Sky. His film work includes producing and directing the documentary Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story for PBS’s Great Performances. Gordon lives in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson Darran Anderson Outside his native France, the view of Serge Gainsbourg was once of a one-hit wonder lothario. This has been slowly replaced by an awareness of how talented and innovative a songwriter he was.

Gainsbourg was an eclectic, protean figure; a Dadaist, poète maudit, Pop-Artist, libertine and antihero. An icon and iconoclast.

His masterpiece is arguably Histoire de Melody Nelson, an album suite combining many of his signature themes; sex, taboo, provocation, humour, exoticism and ultimately tragedy. Composed and arranged with the great Jean-Claude Vannier, its score of lush cinematic strings and proto-hip hop beats, combined with Serge’s spoken-word poetry, has become remarkably influential across a vast musical spectrum; inspiring soundtracks, indie groups and electronic artists. In recent years, the album’s reputation has grown from cult status to that of a modern classic with the likes of Beck, Portishead, Mike Patton, Air and Pulp paying tribute.

How did the son of Jewish Russian immigrants, hounded during the Nazi Occupation, rise to such notoriety and acclaim, being celebrated by President François Mitterand as “our Baudelaire, our Apollinaire”? How did the early chanson singer evolve into a musical visionary incorporating samples, breakbeats and dub into his music, decades ahead of the curve?

And what are the roots and legacy of a concept album about a Rolls Royce, a red-haired Lolita muse, otherworldly mansions, plane crashes and Cargo Cults?

They Might Be Giants’ Flood S. Alexander Reed and Philip Sandifer For a few decades now, They Might Be Giants’ album Flood has been a beacon (or at least a nightlight) for people who might rather read than rock out, who care more about science fiction than Slayer, who are more often called clever than cool. Neither the band’s hip origins in the Lower East Side scene nor Flood’s platinum certification can cover up the record’s singular importance at the geek fringes of culture.

Flood’s significance to this audience helps us understand a certain way of being: it shows that geek identity doesn’t depend on references to Hobbits or Spock ears, but can instead be a set of creative and interpretive practices marked by playful excess—a flood of ideas.

The album also clarifies an historical moment. The brainy sort of kids who listened to They Might Be Giants saw their own cultural options grow explosively during the late 1980s and early 1990s amid the early tech boom and America’s advancing leftist social tides. Whether or not it was the band’s intention, Flood’s jubilant proclamation of an identity unconcerned with coolness found an ideal audience at an ideal turning point.

S. ALEXANDER REED, PhD is a musician and professor, currently teaching at Ithaca College, USA. He is author of Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music. PHILIP SANDIFER, PhD publishes and blogs about the psychic history of comics and science fiction. He is author of TARDIS Eruditorum.

Andrew W.K.’s I Get Wet Phillip Crandall “It’s Time To Party,” the first track off of I Get Wet, opens with a rapid-fire guitar line — nothing fancy, just a couple crunchy power chords to acclimate the ears — repeated twice before a booming bass drum joins in to provide a quarter-note countdown. A faint, swirling effect intensifies with each bass kick and, by the eighth one, the ears have prepped themselves for the metal mayhem they are about to receive. When it all drops, and the joyous onslaught of a hundred guitars is finally realized, you’ll have to forgive your ears for being duped into a false sense of security, because it’s that second intensified drop a few seconds later — the one where yet more guitars manifest and Andrew W.K. slam-plants his vocal flag by screaming the song’s titular line — that really floods the brain with endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and whatever else formulates invincibility.

Polished to a bright overdubbed-to-oblivion sheen, the party-preaching I Get Wet didn’t capture the zeitgeist of rock at the turn of the century; it captured the timelessness of youth, as energized, awesome, and unapologetically stupid as ever.

With insights from friends and unprecedented help from the mythological maniac himself — whose sermon and pop sensibilities continue to polarize — this book chronicles the sound’s evolution, uncovers the relevance of Steev Mike, and examines how Andrew W.K.’s inviting, inclusive lyrics create the ultimate shared experience between artist and audience.

Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II Marc Weidenbaum Extravagantly opaque, willfully vaporous — Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II, released by the estimable British label Warp Records in 1994, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. In the United States, it was his first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonna and Depeche Mode), which helped usher in Richard D. James, for whom Aphex Twin is but one of numerous monikers, as a major force in music, electronic or otherwise.

Faithful to Brian Eno’s definition of ambient music, Selected Ambient Works Volume II was intentionally functional: it furnished chill rooms, the sanctuaries amid intense raves.

Choreographers and film directors began to employ it to their own ends, and in the intervening decades this background music came to the fore, adapted by classical composers who reverseengineer its fragile textures for performance on acoustic instruments. Simultaneously, “ambient” has moved from esoteric sound art to central tenet of online culture. This book contends that despite a reputation for being beat-less, the album exudes percussive curiosity, providing a sonic metaphor for our technologically mediated era of countless synchronized nanosecond metronomes.

MARC WEIDENBAUM founded Disquiet.com, which is focused on the intersection of sound, art, and technology, in 1996.

Pete Astor To wander the streets of a bankrupt, often lawless, New York City in the early 1970’s wearing a t-shirt with PLEASE KILL ME written on it was a subversive act, and one often recounted in the first reports of Richard Hell filtering into pre-punk UK. Pete Astor, an archly nihilistic teenager himself at the time, was most impressed. The fact that it emerged that Hell himself had not worn the garment but had convinced junior band member Richard Lloyd to do so, actually fitted very well with Astor’s older, wiser, and more knowing self. Here was an artist who could not only embody but also frame the punk urge; just what was needed to make one of the defining records of the era.

Having seeded and developed the essential look and character of punk since his arrival in New York in the late 1960’s, Richard Hell and The Voidoids released Blank Generation in 1977. Astor’s portmanteau approach uses objective and subjective perspectives to articulate the meanings of the album, combining academic rigour with the reception-based subjectivities that are key to understanding our relationships to popular culture.

Gang of Four’s Entertainment!

Kevin J.H. Dettmar Following hard on the explosion of British punk, in 1979 Gang of Four produced post-punk’s smartest record, Entertainment! For the first time, a band wedded punk’s angry energy to funk’s propulsive beats—and used that music to put across lyrics that brought a heady mixture of Marxist theory and situationism to exposing the cultural politics of everyday life. But for an American college student from the suburbs, Jon King’s and Andy Gill’s mumbled lyrics were often all but unintelligible.

Political rock ‘n’ roll is already an oxymoron: rock audiences by and large don’t tune in to be lectured to. But what can it mean that a band that made pop songs as political theory actively resisted making that theory legible?

Coming to terms with the impact of Entertainment! requires us to take the mondegreen—the misunderstood lyric—seriously. The old joke has it that the title of R.E.M.’s debut album should have been not Murmur, but Mumble. This strategic inarticulateness, which creates such an important role for the listener, has an important politics.

The Beach Boys’ Smile Luis A. Sanchez In the early 1960s, The Beach Boys rose from the suburbs of Hawthorne, California and became emissaries of an American dream that fused middle-class aspiration and mobility with images of youth. Led by dream master Brian Wilson, their music gave voice to a Southern California mythos and compelled an audience across the nation and beyond to live out their own versions of the fantasy. By 1966, the encroaching counterculture added new dimensions of creative possibility so Wilson sought collaboration with a brilliant musician named Van Dyke Parks. Together they began work on Smile, an ambitious album of earnest, droll and complex music that refracted The Beach Boys’ naïveté into a visionary exploration of American consciousness.

LUIS SANCHEZ grew up in West Texas, USA but earned his PhD in Musicology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

J. Dilla’s Donuts Jordan Ferguson From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J.Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as “hip hop music” is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J. Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying?

Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla’s own musical catalogue, Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist’s declining health as it is an example of what scholars call “late style,” placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.

Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Kirk Walker Graves In the first decade of the 21st century, Kanye West produced what is arguably the most compelling body of work made by a popular American musician during the period. Rising from obscurity as a precocious producer through the ranks of Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella records, by the time he released My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in late 2010, West had evolved into a master collagist, an alchemist capable of transfiguring semi-obscure soul samples and indelible beats into a brash and vulnerable art form. A long look at the arc of his career - from the early days as an apprentice producer gaining mastery of the sample, to his creation of MBDTF during a hypomanic self-imposed Hawaiian exile - tells us about the march of pop music into the twenty first century and, by extension, the redrawn lines of American life.

Weaving original soundscapes comprising old, familiar voices (Ray Charles, King Crimson, Otis Redding, and a host of others), no other artist has so deftly curated conversations between pop music’s past and future—very much a story of our culture’s narcissistic wish for unfettered digital ubiquity—and no album tells this story with more decadent artistry and surrealist gusto than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

KIRK WALKER GRAVES is a writer from Tennessee, USA, at work on his first novel.

Susan Fast Dangerous can be viewed as Michael Jackson’s coming of age album – a grand claim to make given that many think his best work lay behind him by the time this record was made. It offers Jackson on a threshold, finally inhabiting adulthood and doing so through an immersion in black music that would continue to deepen through the remainder of his career. On Dangerous, Jackson struggles with weighty stuff—love and lust, politics, and race—in ways hitherto unseen; he gives us a darker, less childishly optimistic vision of the world, one based more in realism than his characteristic theatricality, one in which he is emotionally wrenched.

Michael Jackson’s Dangerous

This book offers a critical reading, positing Dangerous as a concept album, one that offers a compelling narrative arc of uncertainty, anger, and betrayal—spiritual, physical, emotional, and political—through five broad themes: Jackson’s bleak vision of postmodernity; the heartbreak of intimate relationships; a utopian vision of peace and unity (delivered, in the end, through children’s voices, not his); what the writer Michael Eric Dyson terms Jackson’s “secular spirituality;” and finally through his engagement with the figure of the femme fatale, a favorite character to which Jackson returned often in his career. This analysis seeks to explore Jackson’s artistic/political vision on this album, one that, it could be argued, set the wheels of his spectacular fall from grace into motion.

Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album Charles Fairchild This book marks the 10th anniversary of The Grey Album. The online release and circulation of what Danger Mouse called his ‘art project’ was an unexpected watershed in the turn-of-thecentury brawls over digital creative practice. The album’s suppression inspired widespread digital civil disobedience and brought a series of contests and conflicts over creative autonomy in the online world to mainstream awareness. The Grey Album highlighted, by its very form, the profound changes wrought by the new technology and represented the struggle over the tectonic shifts in the production, distribution and consumption of music. But this is not why it matters.

The Grey Album matters because it is more than just a clever, if legally ambiguous, amalgam. It is an important case study about the status of the album as a cultural form in an era when the album appears to be losing its coherence and power. Perhaps most importantly, The Grey Album matters because it changes how we think about the traditions of musical practice of which it is a part. Danger Mouse created a broad, inventive commentary on forms of musical creativity that have defined all kinds of music for centuries: borrowing, appropriation, homage, derivation, allusion and quotation. The struggle over this album wasn’t just about who gets to use new technology and how. The battle over The Grey Album struck at the heart of the very legitimacy of a long recognised and valued form of musical expression: the interpretation of the work of one artist by another.

Sigur RÓs’s ( ) Ethan Hayden Words like “inspiring,” “expansive,” and “moving” are regularly used to describe Sigur Rós’ ( ), and yet the only words heard on the record itself are a handful of meaningless nonsense syllables. The album had no title - or rather its title was no title: just an empty pair of parentheses. The intent was that listeners would fill in the parentheses with their own title, their own interpretation of the sounds on the record. The CD sleeve consisted of twelve pages that were essentially blank, lacking song titles, liner notes or production credits. Instead, just semi-translucent frosted images of abstract natural scenes (tree branches, clouds, etc.), on which the listener is free to inscribe their own notes - or no notes at all. And then there were the lyrics, sung in a deliberately unintelligible tongue called “Hopelandic” which the band invited listeners to interpret freely.

Hayden’s book doesn’t try to fill in the gaps between the album’s parentheses, but instead explores the ways in which listeners might attempt to do so. Examining the communicative powers of nonsensical language, the book asks whether music can bring sense to nonsense. What happens to the voice when it stops singing conventional language: does it simply become another musical instrument, or is it somehow more “human”? What role does space play on ( )? And how do we interpret music that we cannot possibly understand, but feel very deeply that we do?

BjÖrk’s Biophilia Nicola Dibben On its release in 2011 Biophilia was acclaimed as the first “app album” and the birth of a new music format. It was greeted as the way forward for musicians and developers, at a time when the traditional album format was under threat.

Biophilia is an album for mobile digital devices, conceived and creatively directed by Björk, one the world’s most innovative musicians, and executed by a team including interactive artists, developers, and designers. Here, Dibben draws on her experience as a member of the creative team working on the app suite to provide an insider’s perspective on the creative process and product. The entire project’s conception and realisation are traced, drawing on dozens of original interviews and participant observation.

Dibben explores questions including: the new potential for interactivity and multi-sensory experience of music; the implications of Biophilia’s visualisation of music for audio-visual aesthetics and music education; immersive versus ‘distributed’ modes of listening; and the creation of a curated artistic vision that counters the fragmentation and lack of multimedia experience associated with music consumption via MP3 download. The result is a brilliant exploration of a cutting-edge musical work and offers a unique perspective on the creative processes and ambitions of one of pop music’s most compelling figures.

NICOLA DIBBEN is Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Sheffield, UK. She is co-editor of the journal Empirical Musicology Review, a former co-ordinating editor of Popular Music, author of Björk and co-author of Music and Mind in Everyday Life.

Alex Niven Writing in Manchester in the years 1992-93, in a context in which the depression of social marginalisation was palliated by a culture of radical hedonism and belligerence, Noel Gallagher composed a series of songs that distilled the spirit of the age far better than the more usually celebrated Kurt Cobain. Gallagher’s lyrics on Definitely Maybe offered a message of affirmation and hope that was couched in language of remarkable clarity and directness.

Oasis’ Definitely Maybe

In an era in which deconstructive cynicism was threatening the very existence of the counterculture and the mainstream Left, Oasis offered a radical, anomalous vision of positivity. And the fact this was indisputably a working-class vision founded in solidarity and fraternity was incredibly important. To a post-Thatcherite Britain that had just undergone the most debilitating period of social upheaval in a century, Gallagher ventriloquised slogans of burning communitarian optimism through the mouth of his brother Liam and the playing of the other Oasis “everymen”, Paul McGuigan, Paul Arthurs, and Tony McCarroll.

Niven charts the astonishing rise of Oasis in 1993 and 1994 and celebrates the life-affirming, communal force of songs such as “Live Forever,” “Supersonic,” and “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” and in doing so, he seeks to reposition Oasis in relation to their Britpop peers.

ALEX NIVEN was a founding member of the Mercury Prize-nominated band Everything Everything. He is currently working on his PhD at Oxford University, UK, and is the author of Folk Opposition.

Dead Kennedys’ Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables Michael Stewart Foley In 1978, San Francisco, a city that has seen more than its share of trauma, plunged from a summer of political tension into an autumn cascade of malevolence that so eluded human comprehension it seemed almost demonic. The battles over property taxes and a ballot initiative calling for a ban on homosexuals teaching in public schools gave way to the madness of the Jonestown massacre and the murders of Mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk. In the year that followed this season of insanity, it made sense that a band called Dead Kennedys played Mabuhay Gardens in North Beach, referring to Governor Jerry Brown as a “zen fascist,” calling for landlords to be lynched and yuppie gentrifiers to be sent to Cambodia to work for “a bowl of rice a day,” critiquing government welfare and defense policies, and, at a time when each week seemed to bring news of a new serial killer or child abduction, commenting on dead and dying children.

Most histories of the 1970s and 1980s ignore youth politics and subcultures. Drawing on Bay Area zines as well as new interviews with the band and fans, Michael S. Foley corrects that failing by treating Dead Kennedys’ first record, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, as a critical historical document, one that not only qualified as political expression but, whether experienced on vinyl or from the stage of “the Mab,” stimulated emotions and ideals that were, if you can believe it, utopian.

MICHAEL S. FOLEY teaches American history at the University of Sheffield in England. He is author of Life during Wartime: America in the 1970s and 1980s and Confronting the War Machine: Draft Resistance during the Vietnam War, and a founding editor of The Sixties: A Journal of History, Politics, and Culture.

Hole’s Live Through This Anwyn Crawford Courtney Love has never been less than notorious. Her intelligence, ambition and appetite for confrontation have made her a target in a music industry still dominated by men. As Kurt Cobain’s wife she was derided as an opportunistic groupie; as his widow she is pitied, and scorned, as the madwoman in rock’s attic. Yet Hole’s second album, Live Through This, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of teenage girls.

Live Through This arrived in 1994, at a tumultuous point in the history of American music. Three years earlier, Nirvana’s Nevermind had broken open the punk underground, and the first issue of a zine called Riot Grrrl had been published. Hole were of this context and yet outside of it: too famous for the strict punk ethics of riot-grrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world’s biggest rock band. And then Kurt Cobain shot himself, four days before the album’s scheduled release.

Live Through This is an album about girlhood and motherhood; desire and disgust; self-destruction and survival.

There have been few rock albums before or since so intimately concerned with female experience. The album is a key document of third-wave feminism, but the conditions that produced its particular aesthetic have disappeared. So where did the energy of that feminism go? And why is Courtney Love’s achievement as a songwriter and musician still not taken seriously, nearly twenty years on?

ANWYN CRAWFORD is a writer and visual artist. Her essays on music, film and feminism have appeared in several publications, including Frieze, Loops: Writing Music, Sound On Film and Overland.

Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville Gina Arnold Although Exile in Guyville was grudgingly celebrated as one of the year’s top records by Spin and the New York Times, it was also some people’s idea of an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones’ most revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent, strong young woman. For these crimes, Phair was quite literally run out of her home town of Chicago, enduring a flame war by writers who accused her of being boring, inauthentic and a poor musician.

With Exile in Guyville, Phair spoke for all the girls who loved indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of musical art, Exile was a harbinger of the shape of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ago, but she also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the women artists who have benefited from her work - on behalf of Sleater Kinney, MIA and Miley Cyrus - it’s high time we go back to Guyville.

Evie Nagy Finally, after all that waiting, The Future arrived in 1980. Ohio art-rockers Devo had plainly prepared with their 1979 second LP Duty Now for the Future, and now it was go time. Propelled by the new decade’s high-tech, free-market, pre-AIDS promise, 1980’s Freedom of Choice would rocket what Devo co-founder Gerald Casale calls his “alternate universe, hermetically sealed, alien band” both into the arms of the Earthlings and back to their home planet in one scenic trip.

Devo’s Freedom of Choice

Before an artistic and commercial decline that resulted in a 20-year gap between Devo’s last two studio records, Freedom of Choice made them curious, insurgent superstars, vindicated but ultimately betrayed by the birth of MTV. Their only platinum album represented the best of their unreplicable code: dead-serious tricksters, embracing conformity in order to destroy it with bullet-proof pop sensibility. Through first-hand accounts and musical analysis set against an examination of New Wave’s emergence, this book explores Devo’s peak of success, when the band’s hermetic seal cracked open to let in mainstream attention, lots of cocaine and the occasional violent Italian dwarf.

EVIE NAGY is the Music Editor at Billboard Magazine, and has been an editor at Rolling Stone and Wolfgang’s Vault. She co-wrote the afterword to Out of the Vinyl Deeps, an anthology of rock writing by the late Ellen Willis, the New Yorker’s first pop music critic.

Bobbie Gentry’s Ode to Billie Joe Tara Murtha In August 1967, “Ode to Billie Joe,” a B-side throwaway performed by a total unknown, knocked the Beatles’ “All You Need is Love” out of the Billboard chart’s top slot. Listeners obsessed over the mysteries ensnarled in the song’s haunting refrain: Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Why did Billie Joe kill himself? Is he the narrator’s secret lover? Fans also wanted to know: Who is this glamorous young woman who could boil air with just a parlor guitar and voice low as the Mississippi moon? Less than 10 years after bursting onto the world’s stage with an album that scored an unprecedented trifecta on the Pop, Country and Black charts, the woman born Roberta Lee Streeter vanished from the spotlight.

This much we know: Gentry was an artistic polymath and astute businesswoman. After “Ode”, she wrote more music, DJed a radio program, hosted a TV show and started her own publishing company. Disenchanted with the record business, she produced spectacular Las Vegas shows, writing the music, choreographing the routines and designing the costumes. But despite working herself to exhaustion, Gentry was unable to replicate the commercial sales of her debut, and she disappeared. Bobbie Gentry has not been seen in public for over 30 years. With unprecedented access to a treasure trove of Gentry’s memorabilia, Murtha excavates the mysteries of Ode to Billie Joe, in terms of both the record’s production and the effect of its success on Gentry. With input from the artist’s collaborators and contemporaries, Murtha argues that though Gentry has every right to vanish, her role as a pioneering woman in the music industry should not.
