Fashioning the fab four: The visual identities of the Beatles
Many historical analyses of the cultural impact of the Beatles have noted, but failed to explore, the overall significance of the group’s visual imagery. In a decade when fashion and music became recognized as two of the principal elements in British popular culture and quickly developed into profitable global businesses, the group’s stylistic choices and modes of display became crucial components of its continuing story. Inspired by influences d…
Ravi Shankar 1920–2012
When Ravi Shankar died at his home in Encinitas, California, in December 2012, the world's media reminded their audiences of his mastery of the sitar, his introduction of the instrument to Western
A Long Strange Trip: The Continuing World of European Deadheads
As the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the Grateful Dead approaches, the reputation of their fans as an unusually loyal and dedicated cohort of followers is as secure as ever. This has been maintained despite the formal demise of the band following the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, and has been charted in a significant number of academic commentaries. However, these have been conducted in an American context. There have been few, if any…
I Read the News Today, Oh Boy: The British Press and the Beatles
The public arrival of the Beatles in 1963 brought unforeseen difficulties for journalists in the UK. Although there was an established weekly music press, centered around a quartet of titles, its writers had little practical experience of British performers whose popularity and success eclipsed that of their American contemporaries, and who actively sought to create a distinctive musical style of their own. However, the problem was even more acut…
When two worlds collide
The life, career and death of Michael Jackson were grounded in two worlds: the world of popular music and the world of celebrity. While the two may (as in Jackson's case) co-exist, their association is not automatic or inevitable
Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll”: Urban Legends and Popular Music
Urban legends are tales circulated widely in modern societies. They are generally transmitted orally (although some are discovered and disseminated by the mass media) and are told as "true stories" that contain astounding, sensational or bizarre details. Many achieve an enviable longevity...there are very few people in the Western world who have not heard of the vanishing hitch-hiker, the alligators lurking in the sewers, the funeral ashes mistak…
The Politics of Nomenclature
Philosophers have long debated the relationship between the world and the language we use when we try to describe and understand the world. Whether grounded in metaphysical, epistemological, structuralist, or postmodernist terms, such discussions revolve, one way or another, around one inescapable observation, aptly summarized some 70 years ago by A. J. Ayer: “We cannot, in our language, refer to the sensible properties of a thing without introdu…
Embassy Records: Covering the Market, Marketing the Cover
To relate the history of the Woolworths‐owned Embassy records label is to simultaneously chart the history of the emergence and development of an authentic popular music in Britain. As cultural practice and commercial project, British popular music evolved, within a decade, from a peripheral and overlooked branch of the entertainment industry into one of the country's most prestigious and successful international activities. The years in which th…

"Some Kind of Wonderful": The Creative Legacy of the Brill Building
There is a curious asymmetry surrounding the recognition accorded to the Brill Building among those who document the development of popular music. On the one hand, it is one of the few buildings whose name may readily evoke a particular period or circumstance-along with, for example, the Cavern, Graceland, Studio 54, and Harlem's Apollo Theatre. On the other hand, many commentaries on popular music either overlook its significance completely by f…

Nothing You Can See That Isn't Shown: The album covers of the Beatles
From their release in the 1960s, the LPs of the Beatles have dominated the various selections and lists which routinely purport to identify the most popular/most influential/best albums of the popular music era. Throughout each subsequent decade, the verdicts expressed in audience polls, in critics' choices and in the comments of other musicians have served to effectively maintain and enhance the group's reputation. There is, however, an addition…
