Inhalt:
"The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces-cultural, aesthetic, and technical-the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short, discrete, and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism, Culture, and the Art of the Pop Song brings together sixteen writers to weigh in on sixteen iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five-decades, these essays zig zag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock, Afro-pop, Latin pop, glam rock, heavy metal, punk, post-punk, adult contemporary rock, techno, hip hop, and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs, these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively, they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song, both as distillations of important flashpoints and, in their afterlives, as ghostly choes that persisted undiminished but transformed for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good, capital, help us frame these stories, a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists, colorful protagonists, and fitting denouements"--
