defence expert Rob (Carlyle) has to think fast if the capital is to
avoid ultimate catastrophe.
An Anthology of Australian Albums offers an overview of Australian
popular music through the lens of significant, yet sometimes
overlooked, Australian albums. Chapters explore the unique
qualities of each album within a broader history of Australian
popular music. Artists covered range from the older and
non-mainstream yet influential, such as the Missing Links, Wendy
Saddington and the Coloured Balls, to those who have achieved very
recent success (Courtney Barnett, Dami Im and Flume) and whose work
contributes to international pop music (Sia), to the more
exploratory or experimental (Curse ov Dialect and A.B. Original).
Collectively the albums and artists covered contribute to a view of
Australian popular music through the non-canonical, emphasizing
albums by women, non-white artists and Indigenous artists, and
expanding the focus to include genres outside of rock including hip
hop, black metal and country.

Over the past 25 years, Icelandic music has been gaining
considerable international attention. This is attested to by the
international success of such acts as the Sugarcubes, and then
Bjork as a solo artist, followed by the worldwide success of Sigur
Ros, and more recently Of Monsters and Men. And these artists
reveal themselves to be 'the tip of the iceberg', once one delves
further into the music of Iceland and the myriad of genres that are
thrive there. That such a small country can produce so much music
of quality, value and acclaim is a fascinating situation that has
boosted Icelandic tourism and made the country the 'hippest' place
in the world. This is a book of wide-ranging essays on different
aspects of Icelandic music, from the ancient traditional chants of
rimur to the large output of classical music by nationalist
composer Jon Leifs and others, to the plethora of Icelandic rock
and pop groups that have already made an impact on the world as
well as more idiosyncratic and genre-bending musicians now emerging
from the Reykjavik music scene.
The first and only full-length critical study of Dario Fo, the 1997
Nobel Prize for Literature Winner This book, now extensively
rewritten and updated, remains the only full-length critical study
to cover various phases of Dario Fo's theatrical career. It looks
at Fo's political influences and also the influence on his work of
various theatrical motifs, including the great clown traditions
which stretch back to the middle ages. The political work of Dario
Fo and his wife/collaborator Franca Rame is charted from the 1960s
up to the present to give the reader clear insight into this
playwright/performer's unique literary and theatrical strengths.
Each of Fo's plays and productions is discussed at length and the
author has included an extensive and updated bibliography which
includes full production details, quotes and writings about
Fo.Always a popular performer in his native Italy, Fo has been one
of the world's most performed dramatists. In the author's words: he
is the "people's court jester".
The thirteen essays that comprise Global Noise explore the hip hop
scenes of Europe, Anglophone and Francophone Canada, Japan and
Australia within their social, cultural and ethnic contexts.
Countering the prevailing colonialist view that global hip hop is
an exotic and derivative outgrowth of an African-American-owned
idiom subject to assessment in terms of American norms and
standards, Global Noise shows how international hip hop scenes,
like those in France and Australia, developed by first adopting
then adapting US models and establishing an increasing hybridity of
local linguistic and musical features. The essays reveal diasporic
manifestations of international hip hop that are rarely
acknowledged in the growing commentary on the genre in the US. In
the voices of rappers from around the globe with divergent
backgrounds of race, nationality, class and gender, the authors
find a consistent rhetoric of opposition and resistance to
institutional forms of repression and the construction of a
cohesive, historically-based subculture capable of accommodating
regional and national diversities.
