Yeah, with all the free time that I have I was able to churn out some new sound work. Well, this wasn’t actually done in my free time. And I had to do it. For a class. But I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. Check it out.
As a (budding) Communication scholar, I’m inclined to criticize all forms of media. Now, I realize that this is a little hypocritical (me writing THIS media that you are reading), but I think that this is an important piece to bring to your attention.
On The Media is an NPR program produced at WNYC which (also quite hypocritically) examines the media which surrounds us. Co-host Bob Garfield interviewed Gary Schwitzer, an editor of the website Health News Review, about the (negative) impact that news media have on influencing health decisions of the general public.
If this piece doesn’t make your skin crawl, you need to listen to it again. As infuriating and seemingly wrong as it is, this type of reporting has become the norm and as you can see, is incredibly problematic. Don’t trust what you hear on the news, but don’t trust me or Bob Garfield either.
I’ve decided that I’m going to begin to actually update this again. And more regularly than before.
As for downloads of my radio program, that won’t be happening because I forgot that laws exist that prevent me from just uploading artists’ work. And I like to abide by laws (for the most part). However, I invite you to listen to my program LIVE every Tuesday night from 10 PM to 12 AM on WMUA (either streamed online or at 91.1 FM in the Pioneer Valley).
Now that I’m back at school, my program on WMUA will be available for download on this site. Or, if you’re in the Pioneer Valley, tune in to 91.1 FM WMUA.
Nothing to Say and Saying It will be on the air from 10pm to 12am each Tuesday night. Stream it live here.

UMass is full of a bunch of assholes who hate bikes for some reason. My helmet which was attached to my lock got torn apart. Fuckin' absurd. 2010/03/07
