Blob o' Tunes: Roscoe-Midlake
http://blobotunes.blogspot.com/2008/01/roscoe-midlake.html
Music as a medium. And just as music. Good and bad. Sunday, January 13, 2008. Here are the lyrics:. Stonecutters made them from stones. Chosen especially for you and I,. The mountaineers gathered timber piled high,. In which to take along, traveling many miles. Knowing they'd get here. When they got here all exhausted. All the roof leaks had got started. And now when the rain comes, we can be thankful. When the mountaineers saw that everything fit. They were glad and so they took off. A change or two.

Music as a medium. And just as music. Good and bad. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Liam Lynch-United States of Whatever. So this song, while first of all being awesome, also touches on a subject we've dealt with with dZ, the "whatever". I'm not sure Mr. Lynch goes quite so far into it as de Zengotita does, but after all, he is a musician, not a sociologist. I've never heard anything else by the man (although I hope to soon, haters!

Blob o' Tunes: The Death of the Music Business...
http://blobotunes.blogspot.com/2008/01/death-of-music-business.html
Music as a medium. And just as music. Good and bad. Saturday, January 12, 2008. The Death of the Music Business. And other mysteries of life revealed! So I've been thinking about this a lot (I even did a math project on it): why is the music business dying? Why is no one paying for music, just like you might pay $1500 to have an art piece hanging in your house? But really the question is why was there a demand for such services? Why commit to an entire album of songs, one that was meant to be listened to...

Blob o' Tunes: "I'm Not A Music Person"
http://blobotunes.blogspot.com/2008/01/im-not-music-person.html
Music as a medium. And just as music. Good and bad. Friday, January 18, 2008. I'm Not A Music Person". According to the polarizing Thomas De Zengotita, everyone is a music person. Music gives you "attitude". Because it is one of the more pure media (music is music, it is not representing anything else, or is it? It informs and is informed by who we are. While I disagree, the point of this blog is what does Tommy Boy think about those people who just "aren't music people"? What about those people? So I gu...

Monday, January 21, 2008. Because someone, somewhere apparently really wants to watch Desperate Housewives re-runs even while taking the kids to school. I was thinking about things relating to the class, and I couldn't help but recall having read this some months back. A TV you attach to your face for when you're walking about town? Perhaps more realistically, TV receivers in iPods? TVs that stream into our minds as we sleep? Can't we be away from our TVs for a little while? January 23, 2008 at 11:30 PM.

Sunday, January 27, 2008. The "Top 10 Celebrity DUIs of the Year". Well, that's certainly quite the headline. It reminded me of what Zenny was talking about in Mediated when he mentioned how people are just as quick to tear celebrities down and criticize them as they are to worship and follow their every move with the same kind of intensity of an obsessive compulsive man who repeatedly checks to see if the stove is off. But is that really true? Though to be fair, I only feel somewhat in that direction...

Sunday, January 20, 2008. In the spirt of this class living up to it's name of "not bashing the media". I thought I'd make my first post to celebrate things that I've found, mostly online, that show the media using advertising in highly positive and creative ways. (I personally don't consider advertising to be inherently bad, for the record. In fact, in my eyes, it rarely is. I just think this is better than a "HEY GUYS CHECK OUT SOME ADS I LIKE LOL" kind of post.). City of Denver, CO. Apparently 94% of ...
