Nick Cave

I need a snappier title for this series.

Week 2: Defining Critical Moments in Popular Music

These critical moments are from a personal perspective, you understand. The first song was played as intro music as students shuffled in.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Babe, I’m On Fire

The following were all used to illustrate certain key concepts (subculture, syncretism, sonic narrative, technology, authenticity).

Once again, I completely ran out of time – instead opting for the crowd-pleasing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ exercise, whereby the song is stopped every 30 seconds and students have to note what they’re listening to.

There seems to be clear parallels between ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and The Shangri-Las.

The Shangri-Las – Leader of The Pack

Incidental music during this week’s (storming) Kelvin Grove tutorials.
