Curci Radio Interview

This interview was live on KCSU's radio station on the Eric show. Check it out!

Odd Future- Oldie

This video was released today, it's of Odd Future at a photo shoot rapping "Oldie" off of their newest mixtape which is called "The OF Tape Vol. 2." The song has like everyone in OF rapping in it, at the end Tyler, The Creator kills it. This is probably Jasper's best verse too.

Philosophy Friday-Against Interpretation of Music

A philosopher/Cultural Theorist argued that when we look at art works we sometimes tend to interpret meanings to what the art physically shows. She argues that when we try to fully interpret these works, we say that such and such represents this and it means that. When in fact we could possibly be wrong from what the artist's intended purpose of putting something in the art work. Also, it's possible the artist's intent of making the art was to not have a purpose but rather just to make something intriguing. From there, she says that we should just look at art and only find the intriguing shapes and colors. This same concept can be put into music. We listen to those types of music that either has meaning either about politics or consciousness, or the type of music that talks about nonsense and how many expensive cars this rapper has. Though yes, rappers bragging about how many girls he hits up in the club is a bit absurd, it could be that the artists intent was not to make a real meaning to his music but to just make a song that is just to have fun. It is good for listeners to find meanings in a song that the artists put out, but listeners can ease their mind and just enjoy music without meaning by listening to the nice rhythm and beats in the song.

Here is a video interview on Paul Rosenberg's morning show where Tyler, The Creator explains the ridiculousness of people who try to interpret his song "Yonkers" and the content in his music video of "Yonkers".

Music Monday

What's a better way to start your week than Tyler, The Creator?

Tyler is the creator Odd Future, and he is one of my favorite artist's. He currently has 2 Albums out "Bastard", and "Goblin". This year he won best new artist at the Video Music Awards. Most people know him from the "Yonkers" music video, and if you haven't seen it you are about to be extremely amazed.

The first time I watched "Yonkers" I was so astounded that I had to watch it over, and over again. If you really liked "Yonkers" then watch "Yonkers pt 2", it is just as crazy if not more.

Odd Future also has clothes on their website, here are a couple of my favorites.
