Considerable Sounds: The Music Industry Is Dead - An Obituary

Music – The music business is dead, passed on! It is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If it weren't nailed to it's perch it 'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now history! it's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, shuffled off it's mortal coil,

Duly Consider: Media Hype but Who the !@#$ Cares?

Do No Evil – The photo/screenshot from Propeller only highlights the passion, or apathy. Do we really care the same about trends among future chefs as Obama's "runaway" win in SC? The media would like you to think something amazing is going on, when frankly, all was predictable and quiet in SC.

Duly Consider: Globalization-Inevitable? Yes... Good Policy, No!

Do No Evil – DULY CONSIDER - It seems that Americans have fallen for one of the oldest political lies of all, that inevitability means we should join the pack. Yes, it is true the world is globalizing, and we stand to benefit if it is properly managed, but to suggest it is a positive policy goal to pursue it and to expedite it just because it is inevitable, is

Breaking the Propaganda Code With a Moral Code

Do No Evil – Today's politics is full of good metaphors (if "metaphor" becomes a metaphor for "BS), but I find myself needing to address this with stark reality in order to make sense of it. As a college teacher of Logic and Critical Thinking with most of my education in Literature and Comp, I am adept at dealing with analogies, but the propagand

Considerable Sounds-BANNED IN THE USA

Music – The long, sad history of the die hard button down reactionary with too much time on his hands. Repression demands revolt. Intervention fuels rebellions. The censor seeks to control, to crack down, to manipulate. More often than not, victimized by his own vacuity more than the perceived transgressions of music, literature, or art.

The Penultimate Ultimate Blade Runner

Movies – Jump forward fifteen years or so and we find that times may move on but Blade Runner's star has yet to dim. Seeing it on the big screen is still a real treat. The new print looks great, some effects have a tarted up look about them, but, once more, little has changed.

Considerable Sounds-Igor's Boogie

Music – Le Sacre Du Printemps- Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring inspired and infected everything that followed it (depending on your perspective). Certainly it revolutionized music at its introduction. (Actually, the radical unparalleled piece was not received well at its opening, inciting riots and called "fiendish" by the Boston Herald).

Considerable Sounds: The Lamb Lies Down On Broad Street

Music – Genesis Makes A Revelation in Philadelphia. Some thoughts and observations regarding The Genesis Turn It On Again Tour. In the beginning, music was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of Art-Rock moved upon the face of the waters. And it was good.
