New Music Mondays- As part of your class participation grade, you will share with us some new music. Here are the guiding ideas:
A) The music must be new to you, as within the past month. I hop the song came to you as act of serendipity The best discoveries will require you to push some boundaries. Pick up a parent's or older sibling's album. Get lost on Pitchfork or stumble across it in non traditional spaces (Pandora or WONC). If you found it on Kiss FM or MTV, it was already pre-chewed for you and we will sniff that out.. Keep searching.
B) Explain to the class how you stumbled across this song/band.
C) Describe your attraction to this song. Why is it fresh to you? What instruments should we listen to specifically? Any lyrics that were especially jarring?
D) Either bring the song in or send me a link (youtube, etc) on the Friday prior to your Monday presentation.
