4 days, 200 bands, 6 stagesThis is a first! A big first for me actually. I read my weekly Google Reader and came across Dour Music Festival. So I thought, this would be a blog post to read about, but then as I read the first couple of sentences and come to realize that this event itself has been sold out for 3 years!! It was even sold out a few days earlier last summer. At the Dour Festival in

This years’ line of Pitcfork Music 2008 is finally complete It will be held July 18-20th at Chicago’s Union Park. And from the looks of it, you’ll be getting a lot of indie smashers and a couple of hip hop acts as well. In my opinion, it doesn’t seem like a very exciting line up to me. Usually with 3 day music festivals, theres usually a couple of artists you like on one day, none the next and

A Pleasant Sound to Hear: FADER TV: Open Bar With BLK JKS from The FADER on Vimeo.Not too loud, not too soft. Very mellow and just down to Earth. What you just heard and saw was BLK JKS (Black Jacks). BLK JKS is a group from South Africa. They have a mix of Afro-Jazz, tribal rhythms and beats as well as what they call “funk rock. They were on The Fader #52: Africa Issue. They stopped by and

On a blog post on the fader, it speaks on the reunion of the Pharcyde after 10 years! If some of you are not familiar with the Pharcyde here’s a little history:The Pharcyde are a hip-hop/rap/new wave group with a twist. Or how others call it “alternative”. They have history that started to get public notice in 1991. The group hails from South Central Los Angeles and included artists Imani,

1. Getting Started: In the beginning, I knew off the back the multi-media project was going to be a challenge for me since I was sick and missed a lot of class time. But after going to office hours and speaking to the professor on what I needed to do to catch up had helped me a lot. Some of the things that I expected with this project was to grow a better knowledge of multi-media because that was

In Pitchfork:Today, I came across "John, Yoko, Ben Stein, Killers: Creationist Controversy". It speaks upon a documentary called "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is about the cause of intelligent design, that proposed "alternate" theory to Darwin's whole evolution deal-- and a theory which, to many, is just "fancy speak" for Creationism. This documentary will hit theatres April 17th and

In Pitchfork: Today, it discusses how MTV isn't what it use to be. When it was first created in New York, August 1st, 1981 its main purpose was to broadcast music videos in todays' pop culture that catered to young adults. But now MTV or Music Television is full of reality television shows. Because of that, the indie music scene as well as other underground music genres suffer in finding a venue

In my Mcom 63 class our professor assigned us to make a 2-3 minute video on anything and edit it through iMovie. This is something that seemed very exciting to me because I always wanted to make my own mini movie.I remember working in iMovie briefly in high school so I knew a little on what to expect, but I didn't realize how stressful it could be. The idea I had for my video project was to

At first I was a little confused on what exactly I was suppose to be looking for. But then I started just browsing around to try find something that might catch my attention for longer than 30 seconds. So after 30 minutes or so, I came across an article in the City Room Section called "Cleanliness Is Next to Greek-Design Godliness"It talks about how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority put

in this mini project of mine i have learned the art of cloning.as you can tell the first picture had a pair of puma tennis shoes & the other one doesnt.i learned how to pick a spot near the area that i dont want there anymore, clone it and then patch over what i dont want there anymore.after i did that, i clicked on the blur tool to blend it in a bit so it wouldnt look too "cheesy" or too obvious

ONE OF THINGS THAT I'VE LEARNED IN MY MCOM63 CLASS IS PHOTOSHOP. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WAS SUPER EXCITED ABOUT. I HAD LEARNED HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT ONCE I STARTED COLLEGE I NEVER CONTINUED OR PRACTICED WITH IT. SO IN THIS CLASS I LEARNED THE BASIC & CONTINUED TO PRACTICE IT IN MY FREE TIME. IM NOT A GENIUS AT IT BUT IM BETTER THAN I WAS BEFORE. HERE ARE SOME OF THE STUFF

It took me awhile..well actually a long time to read the 95 thesis. The reasoning why is because it took me awhile to actually get it. I had to read over it a few times to get where it was going. To a certain extinct I still dont get it but from my understanding and the ones that stood out the most were theses number 17, 21, 22, and 80Theses 17 stated: "Companies that assume online markets are

Unfortunately I dont hold much information regarding politics. I'm trying this year to try to learn about it, go out and vote, and try to figure out what each candidates stances are. With the Hillary and Obama videos, both were obviously trying to target younger audiences. Which is a good strategy tactic on both sides especially since its on youtube. who doesnt go on youtube now a days? I found

I know its a bit late but I have good reasons. I've had this saved on my usb drive for the longest time but I have been sick with the flu for the last week and a half. So me and the computer havent been linking arms for awhile. Hopefully you guys like it. I was having some difficulties in creating the header. The main difficult was just trying to smudge the picture into the background and finding

Professor McCune gave us 3 separate assignments to write about and we had to choose one. The first one was to watch Superbowl Sunday and write on the commercials and our opinions on it. The second one was to attend the AMC JMC session within the school of JMC. It was an accrediting team for University of Washington who were having a sort of discussion, interview type session with

Today in class we did Photoshop Excercises. We learned how to adjust levels by inputting the levels so the picture could look lighter or darker and we also learned how to adjust the sizing of the original picture so it could fit on the web. These are the pictures I worked on today. Hope you like!

My name is Brittany Romby & I am a 3rd year at SJSU. My major is RTVF (Radio Television & Film) and my minor is Journalism-Magazine. I'm creating this blog in my MCOM 63 where I can learn more about the media and technology. What I am really excited about taking MCOM 63 is learning how to podcast and creating web pages since that is one of the main things I want to get out of my major.
