How an indie-crafts venture found mainstream expression.
I had a lot of fun analyzing this music video. I've always enjoyed this song but have never watched the video. Once I watched the video, I liked the song so much more. I really liked how they put together a collaboration of vintage and modern dancing. It displayed their indie-pop genre.

The music video I chose, Safe and Sound by Capital Cities, was one of 3 music videos. The third video is the one that I chose and the most well known. It was directed by Grady Hall and released on April 25, 2013. This video is set in the Los Angeles Theater and depicts the main singers of Capital Cities singing and dancing on stage while people from the theaters history jump out of pictures/video clips and modern-day people have dance offs right in front of them. The video starts off by showing the theater looking dark and run down, since it’s not in use anymore. There are no lit up signs and not a person in sight. Then a “magical” lightening bolt strikes the theaters and all the lights go on as if the lightening bolt had brought the theater to life. Throughout the video, black and white photos/clips from past shows in the theater start to jump out of the frames and turn into a colored figure. Different styles of dance are also portrayed in this video and they use these styles of dances in dance offs. The dance offs are usually the old time dances verses the modern-day dances. For example, a dance off scene in the video is West Coast B-Boys verses East Coast Swing. The B-Boying is the modern dancing and the swing is the old time dance. You could tell the difference in the video because the modern-day dancers are in color and the old time dancers are in black and white. The video has a sense of “hip” to it because the combination of vintage dressed, black and white colored people and the modern day dressed, colored people. For example, the old time people in the video are dressed in classier clothes such as flapper dresses, long gloves, top hats, suit and tie, etc, and the modern day people are dressed in more laid back clothes such as jeans, sweatshirts, sweaters, backwards hats, etc. Capital Cities is a Inde-pop band and they showed their indie side by including a vintage style to it.
Jerry Lee Lewis
At the age of 9 he learned how to play the piano, he was very innovative and flamboyant which is what got him noticed. When he was 14 he gave his very first performance at a local car dealership, he soon left school to focus on music. In 1956 Lewis auditioned for Sun Records, he soon was a solo artist and a session musician. One day while Lewis was playing the piano in back of Carl Perkins Elvis and Johnny Cash stopped by and they pro formed an improved song session. In Lewis’s life he has been married seven times. The most controversial one was to his cousin who was thirteen years old. During all his marriages he had six children but two of the boys died before they reached the age of twenty. With all of Lewis’s struggle and hardships he still manages to continue his extravagant performances, which is very honorable of him.Â

The Beatles
While reading the Goffman piece, I came across an iconic rock band that I have never paid to much interest into.  They are the Beatles, probably one of the most influential bands in the century and have changed the face of music forever.  Throughout my life I have heard of this band and listened to a few songs, but have never really in depth looked into their music.  While beginning research on the band I instantly noticed that they are very themselves. The group dresses “hip” with there leather jackets, long hair, and fancy attire.  The group is made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.  The Beatles first ever gig was on August 17th, 1960, at the Indra in Hamburg.  This was the beginning of a rock phenomenon that will forever be remembered.  The former Rolling Stone associate editor told reporters that “the Beatles could be related to Picasso.  Artist’s who broke through the constraints of their time period to come up with something that was unique and original.”  This shows the impact this group had on the people, music, and the world.  The Beatles became a global influential phenomenon.  The iconic rock band has received numerous achievements over the years, such as Member Of The Order Of The British Emprie, Academy awards, Grammy awards, and 15 Ivor Novello Awards.  This exemplifies the success of the band through their existence.  This group was a “hip” looked upon symbol in their society.  They originated the trends, music styles, and way of live in there era, and that is why the will go down as the greatest rock band to ever live.

Safe and Sound- Capital Cities
The historical group i picked from the Goffman piece was Ken Kesey and his Merry Panksters. In 1964, the Merry Pranksters rode a bus they called "Further" across the country giving LSD to anyone who was willing to try it. Their purpose of traveling across the country was to have other people experience this drug and watch their reactions. The Pranksters were rabid users of marijuana, amphetamines, and LSD, and throughout their journey they are said to have "turned on" many people by introducing them to those drugs. The Pranksters conducted "Acid Tests"where people would pay $1 to buy a cup of "Electric Kool-Aid" which was laced with LSD. During The Pranksters journey Tom Wolfe chronicled everything that happened. Later in 1968, Wolfe published the book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test which told the stories of Keseys adventures throughout the 60's.
