Put Down That Song! Try an Album.
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,… Continue reading Put Down That Song! Try an Album.
New Pop Music is Radiohead
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… Continue reading New Pop Music is Radiohead

The latter may be true, but the former is problematic.… Continue reading Blogging Less Says More
