Music


I use Spotify, YouTube, Tumblr and Last.fm to keep track of the songs and albums that I listen to.  Over the years I've listened to a wide variety of musical genres based on my research and personal interests. I scrobble on Last.fm most of the songs that I listen to on Spotify and YouTube.  On Last.fm you can see what songs I've listened to recently and also what artists and what albums.  I use Tumblr to highlight some of my musical interests.  

My musical research interests are primarily in protest music, music that speaks to power.  I do rhetorical analyses of such works.  See, for example, my work on music related to 9/11.
  • Hart, W. B. (2005). The country connection: Country music, 9/11 and the War on Terrorism. In D. Heller (Ed.), Selling 9/11 (pp. 155-173). London: Palgrave McMillan.
Music also shows up in some of my course lectures.  See, for example, my lecture notes on Rhetorical Criticism, "Ohio" & Kent State and 4 Songs for Rhetorical Analysis. 

Below is a sampling of the type of music that I listen to. If you find that we share similar musical interests, let me know.

Below is a list of albums that I've listened to or plan to listen to. Last year I listened to 50+ blues albums and now I'm focusing on folk albums. These lists are based on and inspired by a book titled 1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die.
