Re: [microsound] death of monoculture

[Shannon Oram <shannonoram@xxxxxxxxx>]

Coca-Cola, Nike, etc, is a part of my culture, but IMO only because 
they've bought their way in. The cultural content they bring is 
generated only to increase shareholder profits. This isn't a problem 
until they begin to drown-out locally generated culture. I don't want to 
live in a community in which the only "shared experience" is the 
advertising material we view on the way to work.

/end rant. ;)
