Sound and Vision
Sound and Vision is the first significant collection of new and classic texts on video and brings together some of the leading international cultural and music critics writing today. Addressing one of the most controversial forms of popular culture in the contemporary world, Sound and Vision confronts easy interpretations of music video - as promotional vehicles, filmic images and postmodern culture - to offer a new and bold understanding of its place in pop music, television and the media industries. The book acknowledges the history of the commercial status of pop music as a whole, as well as its complex relations with other media. Sound and Vision will be an essential text for students of popular music and popular culture.
Performance and Popular Music
Since the emergence of rock'n'roll in the early 1950s, there have been a number of live musical performances that were not only memorable in themselves, but became hugely influential in the way they shaped the subsequent trajectory and development of popular music. Each, in its own way, introduced new styles, confronted existing practices, shifted accepted definitions, and provided templates for others to follow. Performance and Popular Music explores these processes by focusing on some of the specific occasions when such transformations occurred. An international array of scholars reveal that it is through the (often disruptive) dynamics of performance - and the interaction between performer and audience - that patterns of musical change and innovation can best be recognised. Through multi-disciplinary analyses which consider the history, place and time of each event, the performances are located within their social and professional contexts, and their immediate and long-term musical consequences considered. From the Beatles and Bob Dylan to Michael Jackson and Madonna, from Woodstock and Monterey to Altamont and Live Aid, this book provides an indispensable assessment of the importance of live performance in the practice of popular music, and an essential guide to some of the key moments in its history.
What Happens to the 'M' in MTV? A Look at the Changes in MTV's Programming
Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1- (A-), Ohio University (School of Telecommunication), course: Broadcast & Cable Programming, 37 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: A couple of months ago I had the chance to talk to the pop critic and founder of the Rolling Stone Magazine Greil Marcus doing an interview for a German radio station. When I asked him, what he thought of the recent HipHop videos, he answered, " In the United States MTV doesn't show many music videos anymore. They show date shows, game shows or celebrities playing volleyball on the beach shows. Videos are shown only in the middle of the night, when I can't watch them". I had noticed a similar trend on MTV Europe but wasn't aware that MTV's move towards non-music programming was even more severe in the United States. Greil Marcus is certainly not the only one complaining about the lack of music in "Music Television". Even Bart Simpson during the beginning of one episode of "The Simpsons" writes a grumpy "In don't want my MTV anymore" on the blackboard in his classroom (Stein 1997, p. 103). But what has led to the focus of MTV on non-music programming? Or is the trend even reversing and MTV is going back its roots? What about the new spin-off channels MTV started to offer in the past? This paper takes a look at the changes in MTV's programming within the last couple of years, at the new programs of this season and at the historical development of this interesting network.
