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...

Blob o' Tunes: Buy You A Drank—T-Pain
http://blobotunes.blogspot.com/2008/01/buy-you-drankt-pain.html
Music as a medium. And just as music. Good and bad. Saturday, January 12, 2008. Buy You A Drank—T-Pain. This song is so heinous, it deserves to be analyzed verse by verse:. Snap ya fingers, do ya step. You can do it all by youself. Thanks T-Pain, I needed the reassurance that I can do it all by "meself". I wonder if anyone actually finds that motivational? I mean, when some guy with dreadlocks and a grill tells me that I can "do it all by meself", I feel like I should run as far as I can. My favorite par...
