I'll Show You Mine, If You Show Me Yours

Throughout the last few days I've been thinking a lot about guilty pleasures. We all have them, regardless if there in the form of men, music or paint on pants. For the purposes of this blog though I'll stick to music.

I recently had a lecture on authenticity in popular music and how it really doesn't exist. Yet, it continues to cast a shadow over the artistic medium. You see, authenticity in music and perhaps in general, is a social construction. We, as fans, ascribe authenticity to specific genres of music, making it a cultural construct infused with blatant fluidity.

And this is why I'm so fascinated by musical guilty pleasures, as there guilty insofar as our ascribed musical personalities tell us they are. So in the sake of eliminating musical elitism, here are my current guilty pleasures....not that you should care.

Kelly Rowland - Commander

Whatta Night - Ricky J

Mr. Immature - Stef Lang

Like a G6 - Far East Movement

Taio Cruz - Dynamite

Nelly - Just a Dream

And if you're judging me right now, ask yourself this question....where does your authenticity come from? (Too deep, I know.)

"From Underground to Uptown"

Here's a sneak peek of paper on Street Art, minus my Hegelian analysis of "Exit Through the Gift Shop"...which is a must see documentary.

Throughout the past decade a new artistic movement has blossomed in the backyards of cities near and far. Street art, whose beginnings date back to the late 1970’s, is a predecessor of graffiti writing and uses stickers, stenches, posters and sculptures to make their mark by whatever means necessary. Graffiti writing, which is separate from graffiti, is the movement generally associated with hip-hop culture. Although there is a great deal of crossover between the two artistic genres, street art has broken away from graffiti writings emphasis on the tag, or rather the signature of the author. The tag becomes an aestheticised form of vandalism that sees its author writing the same word over and over again. Street art no longer has the intention of creating a brand through the continual usage of this tag, as it isolates meaning to a particular community or culture. Instead, street art is about interacting with the masses and reflecting on the place in which it was installed. In essence, graffiti writing and street art differ in terms of form, content and intention. With its focus on visual symbols rather than the written word, as well as its ability to embrace a much wider range of media than graffiti, street art is able to create pieces that possesses universal meaning.
