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

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America

Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America

Supergrow is a collection of fifteen essays that appeared between 1966 and 1969 in publications such as the American Scholar the New York Times Antioch Review Esquire and the Saturday Review. Author Benjamin DeMott discusses everything under the sun-music improving one's sex life violence in Mississippi theater student revolts-but a single theme unifies the material: people ought to use their imaginations more. The book starts from the assumption that our troubles stem from failures of the imagination. Overcome by mass media we are often too oblivious to fresh and original ideas. As DeMott states àthe right use of the constructive imagination increases the effectiveness of our energies enables people to anticipate moves and countermoves prevents them from becoming frozen into postures of intransigence or martyrdom which though possessing a æterrible beauty ' have as their main consequence the stiffening of resistance and the slowing of change. Supergrow is a sociological and political critique of various aspects of everyday life in America one informed by a powerful moral sensibility and an Emersonian sense of self-reliance. DeMott takes pop culture seriously but exhibits a refreshing unwillingness to go with the flow and get caught up in fashionable intellectual fads. Graced with a new introduction by the author Supergrow is an insightful work that is not afraid to tackle difficult subject matter. Whether discussing homosexuality racism popular music or child rearing Supergrow is well-reasoned perceptive and entertaining. As DeMott would hope it will stimulate the imagination. Devastating sustained profoundly witty resounding. New York Times Book Review I didn't think it possible for a long time to come for any writer to say anything about black-and-white relations or lack of them that had freshness and pertinence. I was wrong. Nat Hentoff Village Voice Benjamin DeMott is an essayist novelist and journalist. He was professor of English at Amherst College and a consultant and writer for National Educational Television. He is the author of The Body's Cage Killer Blues: Why Americans Can't Think Straight about Gender and Power and You Don't Say available from Transaction. | Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America
