What+are+you+listening+to?

Hey Taylor,

Thanks for sharing those websites. I also really like to use soundcloud to get some good mixes and remixes of songs, but YouTube is the major website I use. The one thing I really like about using YouTube is an individual's ability to share music or a specific song they love with friends. I consistently see people posting videos on Facebook to their friends about songs they're currently listening to and find that YouTube is used more frequently now by artists to upload their newest music videos.

Two websites I really like to use are thissongissick.com and Hype Machine. These two websites have really different kinds of music and just like you, I like a variety of genres. I posted in a different part of the wiki about some of the music I'm listening to right now, but to repeat myself, Lana Del Rey is really great (songs: Blue Jeans, and Video Games)! I really like M83 too (songs: Midnight City, and We Own the Sky) and some of the remixes people have done of their songs.

See you in class!

What kind of music are you listening to?

I'm just going to throw some music out there that interests me to kind of get the ball rolling on this topic. I've danced all of my life and growing up at a studio I was exposed to just about every kind of music. I don't love heavy metal or screamo, but every other genre has been a part of my life at one time or another. I can't find a lot of the music I like on sites like Limewire, so I use the website [|www.youtube-mp3.org] to get music directly off of youtube. Like we talked about last class, the quality isn't always as high, but I don't really notice. Right now some of my favorite songs are The Ladder - Andrew Belle, Comes and Goes - Greg Laswell, Resurrect Paradise - KapSlap, and Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye. Another interesting website that I often visit is [|www.soundcloud.com]. This is a site that allows you to upload original music for a small fee. One of my friends just got into mixing music and for those of you who are into house or club you should check him out. It's a really neat way for upcoming artists to promote their music!

Will you do a class performance? Where is the 'value' in this kind of project? I can see dozens of possibilities. ..
