Hi.

I’m doing a thesis as part of my Communications honours year at Swinburne University and I’ve set up this blog to discuss my ideas online and things to do with media and the music industry more generally. I still haven’t worked out exactly what my topic is but I’ve already cornered off areas of interest.

celebrity culture | rockstars | hyperreality | death of the real

web 2.0 | mass reporting | flashpoint news

adorno | DIY ethos | andy warhol | baudrillard | networks | glocalisation

music industry | piracy | copyright | old media | politics

Even if only a few of these ideas make it to my thesis, I’ll be commenting on all of these throughout the year.
