There are undercurrents and peripheral taste preferences that are a defining part of our individual and collective cultural experience. Music is no exception. This book adapts the 'A-side/B-side' dichotomy from the 45 r p m for use as a conceptual, historical, and cultural framework for threading together popular music and media texts.
In this book, George Plasketes adapts the iconic 'A-side/B-side' dichotomy from the 45 r.p.m. for use as a unique conceptual, critical, historical and cultural framework for exploring and threading together a variety of popular music and media texts. The profiles and perspectives focus on the peripheries; on texts which might be considered 'B-sides'"overlooked, underappreciated and unsung cases, creators, patterns and productions that have unassumingly, but significantly, marked popular culture, music and media during the past 40 years. These B-sides represent undercurrents, but they resonate as overtones in the mainstream of music and culture, many as historical hinges. They constitute an important connect-the-dots cultural chronicle with a multi-layered context for interpreting the interrelations between creators and institutions, the music market place, the production of culture and important connections between the peripheral and the popular.
