Week 4 Media/Environment

This week I had planned on screening Koyaanisqatsi, an incredible film but rather dense and operatic. In light of ramping up political campaigns, the news media blizzard of financial crises, and skirting up against political discussions in class, I am most likely going to screen a more confrontational piece that was scheduled for later in the semester called "The End of suburbia."
I encourage everyone in class to investigate this issue either through links provided, or on your own, and post a response comment here. We'll revisit Koyaanisqatsi in upcoming weeks.

Fresh Air with New York Times' Thomas Friedman- response to 
"drill baby drill" worth listening to the whole thing here-

Hello to all, after learning more about youtub.com i spent some time watching live music performances of different musicians. It's pretty awesome to be able to do this for free! Also i watch a movie this weekend called The Jane Austen Book Club (not worth seeing). wicked cheesey.
