New Videocast: Coachella and the text of Rock Festivals

In this videocast I speak about Coachella, the mega rock festival which just took place in Indio, California. Being both a music lover and a literary theorist, I find venues like large-scale music festivals most gripping and worthy of some commentary.

Just why is Coachella so popular with young people and young professionals? Is Indie music something that could be liked cross-generationally?

You can view me discussing these questions here.

The Ting Tings on Minnesota Public Radio

Tip of the hat to Anna for the pointer.
I'm enjoying a new NPR station now. Go here to check it out. Here's a bit from one of their featured pieces on the band The Ting Tings. If you're interested in indie dance and the subtle differences between new world and English sounds, give The Ting Tings a try.
