A highlight on the discussion of Sound Recording and Popular Music from Chapter 3

Source: NPR. Date: December 30, 2010. Genre: Music. Sami Yenigun explores a new type of house music called dubstep. Known for its heavy bass, dubstep has began to take the music scene by storm. Derived from London, England, dubstep is a very new genre of music that falls into the electronic or house category. This type of music is particularly attracting to the younger crowds, mainly college level students. Artists such as Nero, Caligula, Skrillex and James Blake have become popular names in this new kind of music. Since it is so appealing to the younger and more energetic crowds, it got some of the biggest response at music festivals such as the Electric Daisy Carnival.

NPR. Date Broadcasted: Febubary 3, 2011. Genre: Pop culture A show like Gossip Girl is generally considered a girls' show while South Park is considered a boys' show. However, there are some shows that can go either way. Nickelodeon's iCarly does just that. The show is centered around a teenage girl with two best friends and her older brother. One would typically think that a show with the name iCarly, a girls' name, would cater only to girls. However, 45 percent of iCarly viewers are boys. Why? The fact that one of those best friends is a boy and the addition of the older brother evens out the cast gender-wise, making the show more appealing to boys. The comedy in the show also contributes towards that goal. Like Disney's popular show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, iCarly has a gender-neutral cast with a great sense of humor that make the show entertaining to watch for both girls and boys and that is why it has become such a favorite among kids.
