I am not the target audience for 'Phonogram.' That's pretty clear, because the book is largely driven -- not just in atmosphere but in plot -- by references to a whole lot of bands I have never in my life heard of.

That's pretty clear, because the book is largely driven -- not just in atmosphere but in plot -- by references to a whole lot of bands I have never in my life heard of. These bands were apparently popular in the UK in the 1990s, a decade that I spent entirely in college towns in the Southern U.S., listening almost exclusively to jazz standards and Billy Joel albums, and attending a total of two concerts of popular music: a show by a local ska band, and a Lisa Loeb/ Sarah Maclachlan concert that my ex-boyfriend dragged me two years after we broke up. I know this description sounds like it's exaggerated for effect, but it is literally true. Those were my '90s.

And yet I enjoyed 'Phonogram.' I'm pretty sure (I hope) that series creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie would take that as a compliment. A note in the back of the book says: "Everything you need to know about a band is right there in the narrative, and should be able to be grasped by the context it's in." That note precedes an extensive glossary, and listening suggestions, indicating that Gillen & McKelvie hoped that some people outside their target audience would be their target audience -- which, while it really isn't necessary, is a nice touch. It's refreshing for a book that relies so heavily on allusion and cultural coding to feel like it's actually trying to include readers, instead of excluding them. A lot of writers of 'mainstream' superhero comics could learn from this approach, as those stories are all too often meaningless to people who haven't been reading about the same characters since they were 10 years old. 'Phonogram' actually fools me into thinking I know something about Britpop. It's a tricky exercise, but Gillen and McKelvie pull it off.

It's probably starting to sound like I don't actually want to talk about what happens in 'Phonogram,' and there's something to that. I'm not sure what *does* happen in this book. I just know that the central character, David Kohl, is a fascinating (and totally reprehensible) son-of-a-bitch, and that I could look at Jamie McKelvie's striking, imaginative black & white art all day.

Wonderful title.

Having read Phonogram Vol. 2: The Singles Club already, I was disappointed in vol. 1. Kieron Gillen is always clever, but here his writing is pretentious and confusing, his psychology forced, his fantasy random. One hundred and fifty-two pages of reading about David Kohl, and I felt I still didn't see him as a person - he was many layers of image and idea, lacking a centre. There are intriguing themes - the relationship between music and identity, the role of patriotism in cultur...more

I absolutely had to give this no stars. Even though the book includes a glossary of the bands mentioned and referenced throughout the book, the reader is still required to have an extensive idea of the music at the time. I consider myself to pretty musically in tune, but there were so many insider references that I found it a chore to even get to the end. And when I reached the end there was very little pay off.

The freakish love-child of Nick Hornby and Greg Stolze. Not an incredibly original idea if you happen to be familiar with post-modern fantasy. The music focus is great as an expression of depth and shallow. On the plus side, Phonograms music narration has pointed me towards some really great tunes (Echobelly, I'm looking at you). On the (somewhat) negative, I'll admit I despised the protagonist until late in the novel, but the slew of indie-punky-femmy D.i.D's kept me coming back until the last...more

I was intrigued by the first issue of the comic, but by the time I had finished the second, the Pitchfork-esque celebrations of musical superiority had reached critical mass. Something happened, though, as I got near the end of this six-issue collection. I found myself looking up the mentioned bands. I found myself actually understanding the various metaphors, even though I stand firmly on the outside of the story’s cultural inner circle. By the time I finished the book, I realized to my surprise that I enjoyed it despite trying really hard not to.

The story arc begins with an avatar of a musical goddess sending a phonomancer (someone who can use music as a medium for arcane practice) on a quest to find out what has happened to one of her aspects, Britannia. Feel free to ignore this setup, though, because it has precisely nothing to do with the proceedings, other than to introduce protagonist David Kohl and give an overview of the setting. The book, for all of its fantasy trappings, is actually a fierce paean to Britpop music and an introspective exploration on what it meant and still means to its fans. David’s race to stop the dead goddess from being resurrected as a monster is a thinly veiled history of Britpop’s rise from the foundation of 1960s British guitar rock as a response to American grunge, its relatively quick decline and fall, and the state of the genre after it started feeding on itself instead of on a cultural identity. The most interesting part of the story is the consequences David faces if he cannot find Britannia in time: the destruction of his own essence, as his memories are altered and blurred until he is lost and transformed into someone completely different. Someone, for example, who hums along with Ocean Colour Scene and doesn’t mind listening to Kula Shaker. The fight to hold on to himself leads him to questions that every scene kid, no matter what the scene in question is, must eventually face. What happens when you get old, and the music you’ve loved so deeply and understood so intimately becomes a relic of the past? What’s the next step, when you can no longer define yourself by the trappings of pop culture once it inevitably leaves you behind, or vice versa?

These parables are so thinly veiled that it’s easy to get lost in the dreamlike twists and turns of the narrative, if you’re not keeping an eye on the big picture. Furthermore, even though there is a handy glossary at the back for readers that aren’t familiar with Britpop, there is still an excessive amount of musical preening. Obscure Britpop references are tossed recklessly around, with an indifference bordering on disdain for the comfort of anyone who may not be familiar with them. Or maybe I just felt that way, since I grew up on the other side of the pond, listening to reviled Seattle grunge instead of Pulp, Blur, Elastica, or Kenickie. I eventually realized that the story isn’t about excluding anyone, though. It’s simply a love letter to a musical era that passed by largely unremarked on, except for by those in the thick of it, and those who wandered in too late on the heels of “woo-hoo” and “Wonderwall.” Taken solely on those merits, this is a subtle and powerful work of storytelling.

The black-and-white art is fantastic. The pulp feel is wholly appropriate, somehow, and the realistic style conveys some remarkable articulation and emotion. The reader immediately learns almost everything about David Kohl by the expression on his face in the first page of the first volume. There are a few jarring shifts between pages and a handful of awkward action panels, but they’re balanced by some very expressive character art. Honestly, the covers alone almost make up for any other artistic problems.

Taken all together, this is a remarkable graphic novel. It’s bound to alienate some readers who either aren’t familiar with or don’t have any interest in the British guitar pop of the early 1990s, since the actual story doesn’t really hold up without at least a passing appreciation for it. But reading this with an open mind (and a tolerance for having your own musical tastes sneered at, just a little bit) opens up a surprising deep and heartfelt piece of music journalism in comic form.

You don't need to be much of a britpop fan to appreciate it, because its story is ultimately universal, more about the origins of personal identity and defending that in changing times than music itself.

But I'm not really sure to what end. To keep music pure? Simple music snobbery? Anyway, this story had a group trying to resurrect Britannia, who had been responsible for the whole Britpop movement.

Kohl is at a Ladyfest event when the Goddess manifests and sends him on a mission to stop unspecified bad people interfering with Britannia, Britpop deity. On the way he meets various stars of the Britpop era disguised sufficiently to avoid any unfortunate legal issues.

I love how passionate Gillen was about a genre of music..passionate enough to construct a goddess,though aged, which his life revolved around 10 yrs. later. This book doesn't seem to speak just about eras of music ending but about people moving on and the sadness that comes when people forget how the music made them.

I wasn't ever in Gillen's position and I probably won't ever be at this point. I don't know if we'd ever have a Britpop revival as intense as the original era and, even if we did, I'm passed my early 20s. I did enjoy some epic Britpop moments on this side of the pond but there wasn't as big of a scene in upstate NY as you'd see in England for sure. Also, when I started getting into Blur and Pulp, for example, I was way too young to go to clubs (think aged 16 or 17).

The other difference between Gillen and I is that I always incorporated all kinds of different genres of music into my listening habits. For me, I can be just as upset about the heyday of Tropicalia ending as I am Britpop. I know that's strange but it's very true. Back then, I was listening to bands like Radiohead, Pavement, Sunny Day Real Estate, Blur, REM, Neil Young, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Pulp, Joni Mitchell and I was listening to them all together like one big happy family. The only difference now is that I listen to all of these and more (definitely more psychedelic bands, I can tell you that!)

So, when I think of the pain Gillen must have been going through, I just think about if my top ten favorite bands making music today all suddenly decided to call it quits. OR I think about the stabbing anguish I felt when Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse died and I amplify that by at least 10.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this graphic novel aren't it's personal notions, however, but the way it gives weight and remembrance to such a fine era of music that probably can't be repeated as so many circumstances came together to make it happen. The book is also really helpful to include a dictionary and at times album recommendations for people who may not know some of these bands as you will likely want to know more after reading.

Let me final point be this: I think music is one of those things you shouldn't swap for a marriage, career, kids, etc. It's a real tragedy that people do this, perhaps even more traumatic than a grand era of music ending. I myself was told when I was in college that I only listened to the music that I listened to because I was in college. I knew much better than that. Music is a relationship with a beautiful goddess and, if you love her, she can never crack.

As a convert to The Smiths a year or so earlier, I wasn't feeling ready to trade in my quiff and paisley shirts for a goatee and a lumberjack costume. Late one night, I happened on a video called "Animal Nitrate" by a band called Suede. It was ridiculously dark, grimy and homoerotic, and I was totally fixated. I bought the album on tape the next day.

Fast forward a year or two later and I was deeply obsessed with "indie" guitar pop from England. I resolutely DID NOT BUY AMERICAN RECORDS and albums and CD singles by Suede, The Auteurs, Blur, Oasis, The Bluetones, Sleeper, Radio, Elastica, Marion, Gene, The Boo Radleys, Ride, Geneva etc. were my constant companions. New Zealand was a strange place to be a Britpop fan - despite being hugely popular in the UK, it was very much outsider music in New Zealand, and it was rare to hear it in public or meet other fans as obsessive as myself. By 1997 it was pretty much all over - albums like OK Computer and Urban Hymns reset the template, Oasis' much-hyped Be Here Now was unlistenable, dance music was making a(nother) resurgence, and the latest crop of British indie guitar bands weren't actually that good.

Fifteen years later, and it's hard to even remember what a big deal this music actually was. The fact that bands like Geneva and Echobelly had chart hits and played Top of the Pops seems hilariously subversive on hindsight.

Anyway, enough preamble. If you are unaware of any of the above bands, Phonogram is going to be a hard sell. The premise - "phonomancers" - magicians who use musical memories to make music - is an interesting one. Our (rather unlikable) protagonist, David Kohl, is a Britpop survivor who has "centered himself" around the now-dead scene. The book is littered with references to the music of the time, and if you're not/were not a fan, you're probably going to find it tough going. If you were a fan, then the attention to detail in both the art and the dialogue is utterly incredible, and will have you pulling out that first Kenickie for it's first spin in a decade. Highly recommended, but like a lot of those mid-'95 b-sides, "for fans only".(less)

An ambitious miniseries that follows David Kohl, a phonomancer who works magic with music. Britpop, to be specific. And Brittania, his patron goddess, is in trouble.

Kieron Gillen uses this conceit to examine the way he (and, by extension, us) view music as part of our psyche and our lives. By zoning in on Britpop, Gillen makes it more personal for him, but it's a little hard to follow if you don't know the references.

Didn't end up finishing this one. It has many obscure references to britpop, a music movement I'm not at all acquainted with, with a supernatural witchy undercurrent. Kinda a cool concept, but not getting the references, and with content that makes it too mature for teen recommends, I didn't feel the urge to continue past the first couple of issues.
It does have an Oly is cool reference in the first few pages, though. I always love seeing my hometown's name in print. ;)

But I found it intelligible even without anything more than the most cursory of knowledge about Britpop (which the protagonist would be sure to deride as ignorant of the way it REALLY went down), because it's also a book about myth, memory, magic, identity, and the many places in which those things overlap and intersect.
