Title: Happy birthday Van Dyke Parks - and a written present Post by: rasmus skotte on January 03, 2006, 02:17:24 AM There's a newish piece written by Dale Carter in 'American Studies in Scandinavia' 37,1 (spring 2005) pages 16-33, called "Bypassing the Consumer: Popular Music, Poplore, and the Idiosyncratic Path of Van Dyke Parks" I don't know if it's online yet or will be, but I'll let you know when I know.

Title: Re: Happy birthday Van Dyke Parks - and a written present Post by: rasmus skotte on January 04, 2006, 03:26:59 AM Dale Carter tells me that his essay isn't on-line. So if interested you would have to order a copy from the nearest academic library. In the meantime here's a link to an earlier Van Dyke Parks-essay by Dale Carter: http://wwwfindarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2822/is_4_27/ai_n8708925 Title: Re: Happy birthday Van Dyke Parks - and a written present Post by: rasmus skotte on January 04, 2006, 03:35:46 AM I'm sorry! Seems that a missing dot makes all the difference: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2822/is_4_27/ai_n8708925 Title: Re: Happy birthday Van Dyke Parks - and a written present Post by: Smilin Ed H on January 04, 2006, 11:36:16 AM That was a good read, but I wish the writer had elaborated on the political differences VDP and BW had over the songs. What could BW object to?
