Missing Blogs

The following students have yet to send me their blog addresses,
so as a punishment I'm publishing their middle names:


Abu Izmir Abu Huraira
Tanya Francenne Arman
Sean Lawson Barker
Steve Columbia Darvall
Chloe Ricky Martin Esmonde
Tara-Lee Dawn Follett
Tegan Danae Hermus
Wei Lenny Jiang
Julia Mary Norris
Jeremy Christopher Putman
Joshua James Stamp
Christopher Paul Stewart
Chloe Ruth Ahern Willis
Muhammad Rakyan Ikram



(Those of you who don't have middle names, I went to the trouble of making some up for you)

I know some of these students may have dropped out, but they are still showing up on my class records.

MUSC2700: BEYOND ROCK

Well, for those of you who asked, it looks as if I will be teaching Beyond Rock next semester. Below is the blurb on the course from last year, although I'll be modifying it somewhat.

I will warn those interested that there may be some overlap
between Beyond Rock and Music Subcultures and the Media, as my plan is to
turn it into a bridging course between From Elvis to Madonna and Music Subcultures and the Media. That way if I teach Music Subcultures next year, I can cut out some of the music industry and history stuff and concentrate on the cultural theory.

Don't have the timetable yet, but I've asked for Fridays or Mondays.


MUSC2700: BEYOND ROCK
Music in the Digital Age
Beyond Rock examines the key stylistic, technological and industrial developments in contemporary popular music that have occurred since the arrival of digital audio and MTV in 1982. Through a study of these developments students will come to understand not only the increasing dominance of digital technology in the music industry but also the numerous stylistic and historical developments during this period.
Beginning with the post-punk rock/MTV-driven New Wave and New Romantics genres, the course engages with the major musical styles and artists (both in the international and Australian contexts) right up to the present day. Students will critically examine a wide range of music styles - from purely commodity-driven "pop/rock" styles to those which have been used to highlight socio-political issues. They will also examine the ways in which music technology has influenced new styles of music.
Beyond Rock will enable students to engage with past and present music forms and provide them with the critical ability to analyse objectively the complex nature of both contemporary music and the music industry.
