  More Positive Change

  I am overjoyed and beyond proud to be a part of the youth/art/political positivity movement of today...and I think the key to moving in the right direction is finding a balance in our art and intellectual endeavors. Music, painting, dance, whatever, combined with intelligent and purposeful action is the very best we can do. I purport to being a media-critical painter with a classical cello training, majoring in sustainable agriculture. Take action socially, make art communally, think globally and eat locally.

  New Solutions for New Problems

  Confronting the issue of an unsatisfactory method of accessing music, websites like pandora.com start to compromise. There you can put in an artist or song you know you already like, and they gear a streaming internet radio station towards those musical characteristics. I think this option merges public access to new artists in a digital venue. You can discover new music and follow up on them, as pandora is linked to the iTunes music store. Perhaps the glamour has been taken out of the music industry, but could it be for the better? After all, the only ads are visual, and you don't have to listen to cheesy commercials interrupting your music.
