Put Down That Song! Try an Album.

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

In an attempt to match the caliber of scholarly writing and technical diction, I present you with Prejudice of Music in the Congregation of Song and other Phrasal Groupings.
There are multiple “Audio-Admiring Paradigms” of elitist listening forms and casual listening. The major modalities involved with processing music categorically involve the forms of hook, riff, [...]

New Pop Music is Radiohead

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Radiohead seems to fit well as a poster child of the current Pop Music. They have taken the sentiments typical of Pop Art and electromagnify it. The attitude of ambivalence and conflicted duality seem to be expressed in the sonic compositions. They blend electronic transformation with traditional instrumentation of rock or alternative music. They utilize [...]

Meaning Language: Is it Meaningful?

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Language is meaningful. So what?
Meaning is to have purpose, intention, or significance. To signify is to be a sign to express or represent ideas or knowledge. Language can have meaning. But is there actually meaning in the previous sentence?

Recording Internet Radio is Illegal? [Copyright]

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Nobody calls it by its [...]

Music and Politics

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

a political front, where political ideology writes the music before artistic expression is considered. An example would be a singer who writes songs specifically for a party (to gain acceptance by a political party or to affect swing states or something stupid). A sub-category might be songwriters writing Christian songs to [...]

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Health foods are sometimes more expensive than your basic genetically-modified, science-tampered, chemically treated food. So if you want to consume food that’s good for you, you’ll need to work harder than those eat junk. Small farmers can barely make a living to produce food. Maybe then it’s cheaper to have a garden for yourself, or [...]
