Guilty Pleasure

Ok, so by writing this blog, I’m about to admit to the world my guilty pleasure. Please try not to judge me. In fact, there is a good chance you yourself have dabbled in this same guilty pleasure. So, the other day I went down to Chicago to see a concert. It was a Justin Timberlake concert to be exact. There…I said it. It was awesome. Anyways, there was about a twenty minute intermission when Timberland, a famous music producer/artist, came out and performed. His “performance”, however, involved him spinning/mixing records while, at the same time, a series of videos and images were being shown on the big screen. It reminded me a lot of some of the videos we’ve watched in class. (For example, the “No Scrubs” remix we watched) He mixed together a lot of the artist’s songs, which he produced, to make one long music video. It was really a lot of fun to watch, and very entertaining. This is clearly an example of the remix culture we seem to be immersed in today. A culture where it has become accepted to take forms of media and improve, change, basically “remix” it. So, now the world knows that I heart Justin Timberlake, but can you really blame me? He’s dreamy. (Yes, I did just use the word dreamy). Could this entry get any more embarrassing?
