Chosen post: (title and URL)Scene and heard: The new wave of new age




The blog I chose to follow was on www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog.
Here musicians and music enthusiasts can share their opinions on
issues currently affecting the music industry.My Favorite post on the
site was "Scene and heard: The new wave of new age", whose main
argument was,"Forget music so diluted it could double up as a homeopathic
remedy, the current wave of new age artists are exploring strange new
sonic landscapes." Owing to my keen interest in music this entry
immediately caught my eye. The Author of the piece (Louis Pattison),
gave an insight into the music of the past and of today, and described
them both as "medidtative and spiritual".
In this blog the Author is definitely appealing to those with an interest
in the genre, and in my opinion the authors language adds greatly to the
piece. There is a simple lay out to the blog, and it contains an image
of a band called Emerald", who are mentioned in the text. Most comments
in regard to this post were in agreement with the premise, and their
was little argument against the Author as is usually expected. Instead
those who commented recomminding more artists.
