http://thenightmail.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Pop, Power and the Vocal Subject. Pop, Power and the Vocal-Subject: NEW POSTS COMING SOON. I’ve been putting all my blogging on hold this Autumn, in order to complete what has become a rather monumental project of music writing which I’m provisionally titling Pop, Power and the Vocal-Subject. I hope to format the essays into a PDF e-book thing which can be downloaded, as well as to make Soundcloud podcasts of chapters with musical examples, in the style of Rouge’s Foam. WATCH THIS SPACE….

Scene in Cambridge: Scene on the Street - Fur, Faces and Duffel Coated Bears
http://sceneincambridge.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-post_18.html
Scene on the Street - Fur, Faces and Duffel Coated Bears. Silvana wears a coat from M&S. A top from Phase 8. A homemade skirt and vintage bag and shoes. All hail a new year and a whole noisy, colourful, raggle-taggle band of Cambridge street fashion. This week starting Silvana, Charlotte and a well-known bear from Darkest Peru. Short fur coats are the way to go. They're selling them in charity. They're selling them in the market. They are really, really warm. What are you waiting for? About Sedgwick bein...

Scene On The Street - Goodness and it includes members of the opposite sex? Wears a vintage coat and scarf, shoes from Office, top and tights from Topshop, a vintage skirt from the market, a bag that she traded online and glasses from Specsavers. I admire them on people who know how to wear them (and most importantly, what to wear them with. Wears a coat from River Island, a dress from H M, a hat from Topshop and Doc Marten boots. Annoyingly American/ugly clumsy phrase? Although let's face it, if you see...

Scene in Cambridge: Kiss me Kate. Or, if you're not in the mood, you could just give me your boots.
http://sceneincambridge.blogspot.com/2011/01/kiss-me-kate-or-if-youre-not-in-mood.html
Kiss me Kate. Or, if you're not in the mood, you could just give me your boots. Dancing all the way from the ADC stage onto the pages of this blog, ETG's Taming of the Shrew. Waistcoats are making a comeback. How do I know this? Did I read it in the pages of Vogue, did I see it on the streets? No, I came across this website. And after you have seen the simply irrefutable proof laid out here, you will almost certainly agree. Google labs! Why didn't Anna Wintour think of that? You know what else is great?

The Night Mail: Chapter 2.1: Taking the Initiative: An Introduction to Musical Power Analysis
http://thenightmail.blogspot.com/2014/04/chapter-21-taking-initiative.html
Pop, Power and the Vocal Subject. Chapter 2.1: Taking the Initiative: An Introduction to Musical Power Analysis. This post is part of my series on Pop, Power and the Vocal-Subject. The key terrain of power struggle in the pop song is the moment of transformation between verse and chorus. There are no stakes higher than this moment. To control this transformation is to control the direction and meaning of the song, and to subjugate it to particular goals or interests. On a micro level, there are also prog...

Scene in Cambridge: Glastonbury: The Opera - starring Lady Gaga as Titania
http://sceneincambridge.blogspot.com/2010/03/benjamin-brittens-midsummer-nights.html
Glastonbury: The Opera - starring Lady Gaga as Titania. Ok, actually it's A Midsummer Night's Dream: The Opera. By Benjamin Britten BUT the idea was that this Dream is set in Glastonbury, or whatever festival you prefer because Glastonbury has become like, so totally over-hyped and over-crowded and full of we're-still-cool-middle-class-thirty-five-year-olds and where. Do we learn this? So this Dream is set in a Festival and the fairies are Gaga-inspired performers, hence white (see above and below).
