Re: [microsound] Adorno turns in his grave
from the reading recommendation dept. to Mr. Cascone:
Go read Karl Popper, for Christsake! ( Are we, this late in the game, back
to late-sixties ideological debates?Did I hear someone mention Marcuse?)
I seriously doubt that mid 20-century marxist -thought can be of great value
to iluminate our understanding of our post-industrial , media-based,
21st-century social interaction experience (Myspace included).
Myspace is not a mid 20-century capital-intensive industry, it is an
internet -based service. How many of those(internet services) have we seem
come and go in the last few years superseeded by some sort of technology
devised by 18 year-olds in their bedrooms? Is this free-market forces at
work, or what?
The whole peer-to-peer/ I-pod scene, changing irrevocably the way that
music creators/dealers/ consumers interact , destroing the old models (and
it´s mega-bucks-corporations) in the process; Is free- market forces at
work, or what?
Rupert Murdoch is a corporate thug , he and his News Corp are disgraces to
humanity , no doubt about that. But , do you really believe that
Adorno/Habermas and their Frankfurt posse , with their critique of a Western
world that is no more, will help us understand what is happening in the
world now...., please...let the 21st century begin!
Muchas banderas rojas para usted.
luv and happiness,
Beni

if free markets are so great, why does america lead the world in per
capita prison population? in obesity? in weapons sales?
How the HELL do any of those have ANYTHING do to with MYSPACE?
