Making poetry a vital part of life

I think it’s dying out, but therewas a feeling that somehow it almost wasn’t politically correct to beinterested in serious and great poetry.

Fun With Samples or Illegal Art
Cincinnati CityBeat, OH
He’s also a fan of Night Ripper — burned for him, naturally, by a student who thought he should hear it. When Girl Talk “finally blows up,” Waldrep says, it “will be a really important test case for this whole genre or metagenre of music. ” For young music fans who’ve grown up with the Internet and file-sharing, Gillis’ music might be seen as “a kind of forbidden document or text in the way they might when they download music and put together their own discs. ” Part of the appeal, Waldrep adds, is the transgression of the gap between the original artists’ intent and consumer use, in this case, by Gillis — “the revenge of the user of the product over the artist, in a way. ” Yet for all Girl Talk’s cultural relevance, Waldrep isn’t that sure Gillis is really making art, illegal or otherwise. Waldrep wonders whether Girl Talk’s sonic collages are popular because they reference already-famous music — “in which case, they are about stardom itself, or celebrity or branding” — or because Gillis actually has manipulated them into something really new. “Does mash-up just represent a sort of continuation of Brahms doing a variation on Hayden or famous musicians like Beethoven taking themes from less well-known musicians?” he asks.

The early start of communicating online goes back a long way when techies talked to each other using rudimentary chat programs. In the late 1980s, the first major chat protocol known as Internet Chat Relay (IRC) was created to make it easier to talk to a community of people or in a private conversation. From these early starts there has grown an assortment of online chat programs that we can all use for free as long as we pay for a connection that is fast enough to handle these services. Even with improved technology and better services and quality, it is still necessary to have the right hardware and set up at home in order to properly connect with other people. In many Northern, remote Native communities it is still difficult and expensive to obtain a dedicated high speed connection. There are many services that offer a faster connection to the Internet but it is either insufficient to accommodate many people or it is too costly for the average person to purchase and maintain. There are many benefits that come with improved communications technology.
