Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • A sweeping, genre-bending “masterpiece” (Minneapolis Star Tribune) exploring Black art, music, and culture in all their glory and complexity—from Soul Train, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Whitney Houston, and Beyoncé ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Dallas Morning News, Publishers Weekly “Gorgeous essays that reveal the resilience, heartbreak, and joy within Black performance.”—Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half “I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too.” Inspired by these few words, spoken by Josephine Baker at the 1963 March on Washington, MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow and bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib has written a profound and lasting reflection on how Black performance is inextricably woven into the fabric of American culture. Each moment in every performance he examines—whether it’s the twenty-seven seconds in “Gimme Shelter” in which Merry Clayton wails the words “rape, murder,” a schoolyard fistfight, a dance marathon, or the instant in a game of spades right after the cards are dealt—has layers of resonance in Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and Abdurraqib’s own personal history of love, grief, and performance. Touching on Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Billy Dee Williams, the Wu-Tan Clan, Dave Chappelle, and more, Abdurraqib writes prose brimming with jubilation and pain. With care and generosity, he explains the poignancy of performances big and small, each one feeling intensely familiar and vital, both timeless and desperately urgent. Filled with sharp insight, humor, and heart, A Little Devil in America exalts the Black performance that unfolds in specific moments in time and space—from midcentury Paris to the moon, and back down again to a cramped living room in Columbus, Ohio.

Download or read book Live from the Underground written by Katherine Rye Jewell and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bands like R.E.M., U2, Public Enemy, and Nirvana found success as darlings of college radio, but the extraordinary influence of these stations and their DJs on musical culture since the 1970s was anything but inevitable. As media deregulation and political conflict over obscenity and censorship transformed the business and politics of culture, students and community DJs turned to college radio to defy the mainstream—and they ended up disrupting popular music and commercial radio in the process. In this first history of US college radio, Katherine Rye Jewell reveals that these eclectic stations in major cities and college towns across the United States owed their collective cultural power to the politics of higher education as much as they did to upstart bohemian music scenes coast to coast. Jewell uncovers how battles to control college radio were about more than music—they were an influential, if unexpected, front in the nation's culture wars. These battles created unintended consequences and overlooked contributions to popular culture that students, DJs, and listeners never anticipated. More than an ode to beloved stations, this book will resonate with both music fans and observers of the politics of culture.

Download or read book We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm The Oral History of Q101 written by James D. Vanosdol and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember when radio meant something? When you knew all of the disc jockeys' names on your favorite station, and you had to stick around through the commercial break to see what song was going to be played next? "Alternative" (or "modern rock") radio was one of the last radio formats in the 21st century to incite that level of passion with its listenership. When Chicago station Q101 (WKQX) decided to flip to an alternative format in July, 1992, their timing couldn't have been better. Alternative music turned the music industry upside down in the early 1990s, thanks to star-making releases from bands like Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Pearl Jam. Though Q101 was slow to fully embrace all of alternative music's marquee players, once they did, the station became a dominant presence on the Windy City's FM band. We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm tells the oral history of Q101, from 1992-2011, through the stories, memories, and recollections of the people who worked there both on the air and behind the scenes. The resulting tale is a primer on modern radio: the good, the bad, the hilarious, and the ridiculous. We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm covers band feuds with heavyweights like the White Stripes and Pearl Jam, radio feuds with rival stations WRCX and WZZN, promotional failures like the "all you can drink" Brew & Block Party, a hail of garbage big enough to influence the name of the book, and the cultural impact of events like Kurt Cobain's death, 9/11, and Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl. Over 75 former employees' thoughts and stories are featured, including syndicated host Mancow Muller, former MTV personalities Mark Goodman and Kevin Manno, Sludge, Electra, Robert Chase, Ryan Manno, Lance and Stoley, Wendy and Bill, Sherman and Tingle, and Zoltar.
