Separation of Music and Culture: A Review


I love listening to music on the radio, and I like to listen to radio about music. That’s what this feature is. Eli Lundgren looks at the different tastes in music at the Renaissance Arts Academy and he speaks of the importance of tolerance and understanding for people’s musical choices. This piece could have benefited from a better recording environment or better equipment, the ‘p’ comes off strongly in this feature. It’d also be neat to hear from the different genres as they are named. I would love to hear a follow up piece in which Eli sits down with different genre lovers and urges them to share their music across musical borders, who knows what kind of jamming or remixing would ensue. Then the piece ends with a message we can all agree on no matter what music we listen to… “Rock on!”
