Come and Watch the Pretty Lights! (Media Meditation # 3)



If your'e into electronic music you should check out Pretty Lights . Derek Vincent Smith, originally from Colorado, knows how to produce beats appropriate for almost every occasion. Some of his songs are upbeat and hyphie like, Hot Like Sauce, while others are appropriate for mellow moods, like Cold Feeling. Pretty Lights coined their name from a Pink Floyd concert poster, that read " Come and watch the pretty lights!"

The best thing about the Pretty Lights website is the accessibility of their music. They make it super easy to download most of their music and remixes for free. Im not sure how this works when you consider ownership principles, but its awesome. The only thing they ask for is your E-mail. They do this as a bribe of sorts. You get on the mailing list, you get free music.

CONVERGENCE! - We can download FREE music using our personal computers, through the internet, from their website. You can also take the more time consuming route, YouTube their songs, copy the URL and then use video2mp3, to convert the file.

  2. 20 followers and some compelling blog-friendly material makes for a very good blogging assessment for your semester Kara.

    My one big suggestion - dive down more deeply with the power tools. At times, your analysis is a bit cursory, and you want to bit off a bit more.

    Thanks for an engaging semester - good luck to you as you take your next steps on your educational journey.
