DESCRIPTION:Kevin Dunn discusses Belfast punk\, The Troubles in Northern Ireland\, and Stiff Little Fingers’ groundbreaking debut Inflammable Material\, the focus of his new book in the 33 1/3 series. \nStiff Little Fingers’ Inflammable Material explores the band’s complicated and controversial relationship with the Belfast punk scene\, a scene that actively defied violent social divisions to create important non-sectarian spaces through which an “Alternative Ulster” was imagined and put into practice. \nKevin Dunn is Professor in the International Relations Department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges\, USA. He is author of Global Punk: Resistance and Rebellion in Everyday Life (Bloomsbury 2016)\, Inside African Politics (with Pierre Englebert; 2013\, 2020\, and 2026)\, as well as the award-winning novel Vicious is My Middle Name (2022). Active in DIY punk scenes since the 1980s\, he continues to perform in several bands\, runs an independent record label\, publishes various zines\, and is a regular contributor to the influential DIY punk zine Razorcake. \nBill Kopp is an Asheville-based music journalist\, speaker and author of three books. Reinventing Pink Floyd – From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon was published in 2017. Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave was published in 2021. His latest\, 2005’s What’s the Big Idea – 30 Great Concept Albums is based on interviews with groundbreaking artists including Pete Townshend and Bob Mould. \n

SUMMARY:Listening Party and Discussion: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
DESCRIPTION:Pink Floyd’s 1973 album THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a landmark achievement and one of the best-selling albums of all time. In this listening party and discussion hosted by Asheville-based author and music journalist Bill Kopp (Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon)\, we’ll listen to the album\, and we’ll also learn about the group’s unlikely path to creating the record; the album’s enduring legacy and influence and more. We’ll also hear exclusive and unreleased session tapes and live performances of the work dating from long before its release.\n\nABOUT BILL KOPPWith a background in marketing and advertising\, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine\, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009\, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day for several years). The more than 5000 interviews\, essays\, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill’s keen interest in American musical forms\, most notably rock\, jazz\, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill’s work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He regularly hosts lecture/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance (including monthly events Music to Your Ears and Music Movie Mondays)\, and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. In Spring 2023 he taught a history of Rock ‘n’ Roll at UNC Asheville’s College for Seniors. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues — some 40 to date — and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian “Cannonball” Adderley’s final album. His first book\, Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018\, and in paperback in 2019. His second book\, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave\, was published in 2021 by HoZac Books. His third book\, What’s the Big Idea: 30 Great Concept Albums is available now.\n\nABOUT JOYFUL NOISEIn 2024\, Hurricane Helene tore through Asheville’s River Arts District and changed it overnight. Studios flooded. Restaurants closed. Gathering places — the kind that hold memories — were lost. But this neighborhood has always been built by people who make things. Artists. Brewers. Chefs. Musicians. Neighbors who believe in showing up for one another. And when the water receded\, so did any doubt that the River Arts District would rise again. Joyful Noise Listening Lounge and Kitchen is part of that next chapter. Located at 37 Paynes Way in the heart of the River Arts District\, Joyful Noise was created to give people a place to slow down and truly be present — with music\, with food\, and with each other. Our inspiration reaches beyond Asheville.

SUMMARY:Talk and Listen: The Who's WHO'S NEXT
DESCRIPTION:Listening Party and Discussion:\nThe Who’s WHO’S NEXT\nat Joyful Noise Listening Lounge\nAsheville-based author and music journalist Bill Kopp leads a deep dive into The Who’s 1971 masterwork\, with fascinating background info\, a curated selection of outtakes and demo recordings\, exclusive one-on-one interview excerpts and a close listen to this remarkable and historic album. The listening party is FREE TO ATTEND and happens Tuesday\, November 10 @ 7pm at Joyful Noise Listening Lounge in Asheville’s RAD. \nOne of the greatest and most enduring albums of the rock era was created from the scraps of a failed concept album project. The fifth album from The Who\, 1971’s WHO’S NEXT would introduce some of the band’s most memorable songs\, including “Baba O’Riley\,” “Won’t Get Fooled again” and the Top 40 single “Behind Blue Eyes.” A critical and chart success\, WHO’S NEXT has been named on countless best-of lists as an essential album\, and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007. \nBut WHO’s NEXT wasn’t conceived as an album-proper. It began as a science fiction rock opera by guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend. A story called Lifehouse was set in a dystopian furture in which the Earth has been ravaged by pollution; humans live indoors\, never venturing outside\, and they’re connected to each other by something called “The Grid.” Some two-decades before the internet entered the public consciousness\, Townshend had conceived something very much like it. \nBut at the time of its conception\, Lifehouse was an unworkable concept\, and the proposed album – a conceptual followup to The Who’s earlier masterwork Tommy\, was shelved. In need of a new album\, The Who decided to pick from among the best unused songs written for Lifehouse\, and make a standard\, non-concept album. The result was a masterpiece. \nAsheville-based author and music journalist Bill Kopp will present a discussion of WHO’S NEXT at Joyful Noise Listening Lounge on Tuesday\, November 10 at 7pm. This free event will include a discussion of the album’s background\, and will include excepts of demos\, alternate takes and unused songs form the sessions for Lifehouse and WHO’S NEXT. He’ll also share audio excerpts from his exclusive interviews with Pete Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey. \nAt the conclusion of the talk\, we’ll listen together to a vinyl pressing of WHO’S NEXT – start to finish – on Joyful Noise’s spectacular in-house stereo system. \nAbout Bill Kopp\nWith two decades-plus experience as a music journalist\, Bill’s work also appears in many outlets both online and in print. He regularly hosts lecture/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance (including monthly events Music to Your Ears and Music Movie Mondays)\, and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. In Spring 2023 he taught a history of Rock ‘n’ Roll at UNC Asheville’s College for Seniors. He has also written liner notes for more than 40 albums. His first book\, Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018\, and in paperback in 2019. His second book\, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave\, was published in 2021 by HoZac Books.
