[Reader-list] Rajesh Mehar - 2nd Posting

[rajesh mehar]

When discussing creative musical work, we often use the terms original, copy, remix, cover version, and so on, loosely. These terms are thrown about as if there were neat categories into which every song can be categorized. Through the discourse of the popular media, some of these words, like original, and more recently, remix, have positive connotations. Some others, like copy, have negative connotations associated with them.

This week, I will leave you with the links to two posts on my blog for this research project, dealing with:

1) Reflections on where these mystical boundary lines lie. How do tags get assigned to material, calling them originals, ripoffs, copies, remixes or cover versions?

2) The DJ Danger Mouse story. (http://community.livejournal.com/whosemusic/1265.html)

More later.
