Copy Cat! (Blog Entry 7)

By now, you’re hopefully starting to appreciate the diversity of music that’s popped up on this blog so far. One of the remarkable side effects of this class is that you end up listening to music that you may never have otherwise come across before. Hopefully you end up with some new artists to build into your playlists as a result of this class!

This entry is intended to be a fun one: it’s time to play copy cat. Go back through previous posts and choose an artist that someone else has already blogged about, and then choose a different song by that artist. Post the song title and artist and a link to the song. In addition:

Be sure to comment on

Discuss why this was your pick. What drew you to this artist? Why did you pick this song by this artist?
What are your thoughts in relation to the person who originally posted about this artist? Do you find yourself agreeing with her/him, or disagreeing, and why? (Remember to disagree respectfully if you do!)
What features does this song/artist have to recommend them to a wider audience (or conversely, what features suggest that this song/artist is not to be sought out)?
Anything else?

Be sure to comment on 3 of your peers’ posts to see what they chose… and if anyone decided to copy cat you! Have fun!
