Conclusion

So over the course of this semester I have started this blog, titled Music on My Mind. I’ve stayed rather consistent on my topic these past weeks, but have strayed away a little. I thought I was going to do more of just write about whatever I’m listening to at the moment, but it has become more than that. The expansion now covers anything and everything music. I’ve talked about festival lineups; the death of music festivals, concert reviews, CD reviews, and music people should download or buy. Pretty much anytime I came upon new music I enjoyed, I wanted to share it with people who read my blog, although I’m almost convinced no one even reads this damn thing. I plan on continuing with this blog because I did enjoy doing it. I know I posted pretty much only on Sunday’s, which yet again I find myself doing. But in the future I hope to listen to new music, go to a concert, and come back to my computer and write about it. Being a journalism major, not writing is the only thing that will hold me back. I want to eventually write about music for some sort of publication, so this is I guess the first step to achieving my goal. This assignment has helped me think about writing about music and how to go about it. Writing about music is something that I find very difficult because music is delivered to people in very different ways. People hear music in their own original way so trying to tell someone how I received the music is difficult. This has given me great practice and I want to thank my English 306 professor Jenna for assigning to my fellow classmates and me.

Mos Dub

So on the website www.mosdub.com there is a link for you to download the album for FREE people. I highly recommend downloading this album, not only because it’s free, but because it is beauty to the ears. It is a mixture of Mos Def and some dub reggae, hence the name Mos Dub. Being a big fan of both Mos Def and every kind of reggae, this was something I downloaded as soon as I heard of it. It says on the website that it is produced by Max Tannone, who I have never heard of. Also on the website there is a link to check out other remixes called Jaydiohead, a remix of Jay-Z and Radiohead, as well as a remix of Beastie Boys over themselves. The remix of Beastie Boys over themselves was an interesting idea to me. I never really thought to mix an artist with other songs of that same artist before. I still haven’t downloaded that album yet, but maybe after writing this blog I’ll check it out. I can’t praise Mos Dub enough. I’ve been listening to it non-stop for the past 2 or so weeks. I just love the perfect mixture of Mos Def rhymes and the chill music of dub reggae. I can listen to it when I wake up, when I’m riding my bike to class, before I go out, or when I come back for a couple of cold beverages with the homies.
