per non affaticarvi ecco quanto ho ricavato (per il rock e il jazz) dal
sito
http://www.libyrinth.com/joyce/music.html
(ma dovreste visitarlo, se volete vedere un sito ben fatto -gli
asteriscati sono già in mio possesso):
 
*** Barrett, Syd
"Golden Hair"
1969. One of the founding members of Pink Floyd, Barrett was known for
his psychedelic lyrics and LSD-fueled excursions into the musical
unknown, until a mental breakdown removed him from the musical world. On
his first solo album, The Madcap Laughs, Barrett sings "Poem V" from
Chamber Music, sparingly arranged for an acoustic guitar.
Beatles, The
"I Am the Walrus"
Was this classic piece of rock surrealism inspired by Finnegans Wake, or
is that just a bit of rock-lit apocrypha? Speculation and information
are just a click away.
Bush, Kate
"The Sensual World"
This song appears on her album of the same name. The lyrics are adapted
from Molly's soliloquoy in Ulysses.
*** Jefferson Airplane
"rejoyce"
1967. This song appears on the album After Bathing at Baxters, one of
the group's most psychedelic albums. The lyrics are a stream of
consciousness exploration around themes and characters taken from
Ulysses.
*** King Crimson
"Islands"
1974. The band's fourth album, Islands, evokes images of Homer and,
perhaps, Joyce's Ulysses.
[l'Ulisse non c'entra niente, credo]
Morrison, Van
"Summertime in England" & "Too Long in Exile"
Two songs with minor Joyce connections -- Van Morrison name-drops Jim on
both accounts.
PopCanon
"Bloomsday"
An eclectic and very talented band from Florida, PopCanon has released a
CD chock-filled with literary allusions, including a song that
juxtaposes a reading of Ulysses with a birthday crucifixion.
Reed, Lou
"My House" & "Magic and Loss"
1982/1992. The first song appears on the album The Blue Mask. Dedicated
to the poet Delmore Schwartz, whom Lou Reed considered a mentor, one
line describes their relationship in terms of Ulysses. The second song,
which deals with grief, contains a small reference to Joyce.
 
Bates, Martin
"Chamber Music I"
 Published by Sub Rosa (in Belgium) in 1994, this New Age album contains
"Settings of James Joyce's Poems." According to Marco Graziosi, "Bates
sings the poems with no accompaniment, he rather seems to be improvising
simple melodies. I don't like this very much."
Buffet, Jimmy
"If It All Falls Down"
On the Floridays album. This song, written by Matt Betton, makes
reference to Joyce with the following lyric: "I never wanted to be a man
of mystery/My life's an open book/By James Joyce and Agatha Christy"
Hmmm . . . given the irony of the lyric and the punning title of the
album, maybe His High Parrothead is a Joycean? And I would have tagged
him as a Henry Miller kind of guy. (Thanks to Jim Tackett and Katie.)
Dream Theater
"Eve"
Dream Theater is a very intriguing progressive metal band (think Kansas
meets Iron Maiden) whose live excursions are filled with instrumental
virtuosity and unpredictable shifts in meter and direction. According to
William Wright and Tiffany Meyers, Dream Theater's keyboardist -- Kevin
Moore -- is a Joyce fan, and when performing the instrumental "Eve," the
group incorporates recorded readings from Portrait of the Artist as a
Young Man into the music. Unfortunately this is not included on the
studio version of "Eve," and is available only as a live bootleg.
"Six O'Clock"
From the album Awake, this is another Dream Theater song with
inspiration from Joyce. The beginning lines are a direct quotation
from"The Dead": "Six o'clock on a Christmas Morning! And all for what?
Well, isn't it for the honour of God, Aunt Kate? I know all about the
honour of God, Mary Jane." (Thanks to Will Vallat.)
Enya
"Marble Halls"
1991. From the album Shepherd Moons, Michael Weaver remarks: "In 'Clay'
(Dubliners) Maria sings a verse originally written by Michael Balfe in
1883 for the opera Bohemian Girl. It begins, 'I dreamt that I dwelt in
marble halls. . . ' The same verse is present in the song by Enya. Hope
this isn't too obscure, or convoluted, a reference." Well, it may be
pretty marginal, but don't worry, Mike -- hell, I threw in the Pogues
just for a picture of Jimmy, and Enya's Irish, so why not?
Foetus
"Firewater"
The band Foetus takes their name from a passage in Portrait, where the
young Stephen is musing over the oddness of the word "foetus." According
to Dave Sticher, the band has a "sense of wordplay," and uses
"references (both literary and not) which are obviously influenced by
Joyce." On the song "Firewater," from the album Hole, they quote
Ulysses: "The snotgreen sea, the scrotumtightening sea." Again,
according to Dave: "What makes this band especially interesting is the
fact that the music in no way resembles something Joyce might have
bothered with. It resembles -- well -- take Big Band music. Okay, now
put that in a blender. Get a chain-smokin', heavy-drinkin' big gun on
vocals, and put in the occasional experimental touch. Somewhat like Tom
Waits, but faster, more acidic, with some drum tracks provided by
Einstürzende Neubauten at times (especially on his last-track big
finales). It's altogether very odd, but at the same time you can tell
that some highly demented intelligence is behind it the entire way."
Here is a Foetus page that features the band.
Hodeir, André
"Anna Livia Plurabelle"
An hour long jazz piece with lyrics pulled from Finnegans Wake, this
entry was sent to me by Jacques Vidal, who writes: "ALP was composed by
André Hodeir in 1965-66 and first recorded in 1966 at the Maison de la
Radio. It was recently (1993) recorded by a group of 25 musicians (Label
Bleu LBLC 6563-HM 83). If you experience trouble getting this release,
you can contact Label Bleu at: LABEL BLEU - MCA - BP 631, 80006 AMIENS
CEDEX 1, FRANCE, Phone: (33) 03 22 97 79 83; Fax: (33) 03 22 92 52 17."
He also notes that: "another composition by Hodeir based on Joyce's
writings is Bitter Endings (1972), but I never heard it and know nothing
about its commercial availability."
Nakano, Takayuki 
An avant-garde musician, Takayuki Nakano is a drummer who often
incorporates passages from Finnegans Wake into his work. He has recorded
several pieces containing works founded on Joycean texts, including:
Another Time, [], For Kenny, and 1996-1997. (The latter with a trio
including Kaname Kasahara on guitar synthesizer, and Shugo Soma on
guitar and guitar synthesizer.) Takayuki Nakano has a small homepage
with some audio files and further information.
Pogues, The
"If I Should Fall from Grace With God"
1988. The Pogues, that great Irish band previously lead by the true poet
Shane MacGowan, released this (highly recommended) album of songs, and
although James Joyce is not mentioned, his picture is on the cover --
along with all the membrers of the band, dressed up like him and
striking the same classic pose, as you can see here, on the Links page.
Why not visit the Pogues Web Ring, or order If I Should Fall from Grace
with God and just get it over with? Everyone should own at least three
copies of this album.
*** R.E.M.
"Losing My Religion"
1991. According to Mike Farr and several other visitors, the video for
R.E.M.'s excellent song "Losing My Religion" is full of Joycean
allusions, particularly to Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I
agree that this seems to be the case, but until I can find concrete
information, I offer this only as speculation. (Feel free to email me,
Mr. Stipe!) The song, although by itself clearly unrelated to Joyce, is
found on the album Out of Time; and the video is one of the best efforts
in that medium -- as one would expect from a group as talented as REM.
Sonic Youth
"Secret Girls"
1991. According to Michael McCullough, this song, from the album
E.V.O.L., takes its beginning in a roundabout way from Stephen Dedalus's
mother. In Ulysses it is noted that she had a fondness from a line in
"Turko the Terrible," a line about an "invisible boy." The song "Secret
Girls" echoes Mrs. Dedalus when it opens: "My mother used to say/"You're
the boy that can enjoy invisibility"/I'm the boy that can enjoy
invisibility/Close your eyes make a wish." I do not know whether or not
Kim Gordon (bass, singer, lyrics) is fond of Joyce, but Sonic Youth are
well known for their avant-garde interests, and Bob Williams tells me:
"Evol is 'love' spelled backwards and comes (one hopes) from the lessons
chapter: 'O Evol, kool in the slag and ees how Dozi pits what a drowser
er.' Page 262, note 2."
Wake, The
"Here Comes Everybody"
An English band, their first album was called Here Comes Everybody, a
reference from Finnegans Wake. If I find out anything more, I will post
it. (Thanks to Richard Hayes for this.)
Williamson, Robin
"Strings in the Earth and Air"
According to Jürgen Kiel, "Robin Williamson is a brillant Scotish folk
singer and multi-instrumentalist who became a bit famous with the
Incredible String Band in the sixties and early seventies. On this 1972
solo album Myrrh you will find a song based on "Strings in the Earth and
Air" from Joyces Chamber Music which gives me the creeps. Joyce is not
quoted on the album. It presents a hippie and Tolkien influenced work
from the past. My personal recommendation is "A Glint at the Kindling"
from Williamson and the Merry Band."
