Told you about this book, which is mostly geared toward "World Music Survey" courses. The author is putting online some resources to go with his book, including some links to videos on YouTube.
Bakan WORLD MUSIC blog: World music lectures with youtube links
As it turns out, many ethnomusicologists are using YouTube in their courses.

Ethnomusicology References
Concordia RefShare databases
Thought they were already on the blog but here's a (openly available) RefShare database with some references to ethnomusicologically-relevant texts. There's also one with "Supplementary References" as well as other databases that I made for our course.

Recontextualising Pachelbel
As a follow-up to the beatbox version, discussed in class.
Pachelbel everywhere.
Taking music in his own hands.

Music and Globalisation: Webradio Version
Turns out CriticalWorld's Webradio player has some cool music to listen to. Contrary to my playlists, these songs are specifically made available by the performing artists.
Folkways at Concordia
Concordia has acquired 246 recordings from the Smithsonian Folkways collection. You can browse the list in this RefWorks RefShare library or search Clues for "smithsonian folkways."
We've talked about this collection, which was tied with Moe Asch and is now managed by Anthony Seeger at the Smithsonian Institute. As an "independent label," Folkways has had a very significant impact on the way diverse musics have been perceived in the U.S. and elsewhere.
As mentioned in class, there has been a podcast series on the Smithsonian Folkways collection.

WAM Online
Concordia just got access to Alexander Street Press's Classical Music Library. We've been talking about "Western Art Music" on occasion and this database can be especially useful to those of you who are interested in this "pure" form of music.
More information about this database (including off-campus access) can be found here.

Participating Music: Rock Band (Game)
From the creators of the Guitar Hero game franchise (discussed in the course).
Guitar heroes unite; 'Rock Band' is coming | Crave : The gadget blog
The emphasis on collaboration goes well with the whole participatory culture and musicking trend that we talked about during the semester. Not sure how the game will be received but the idea of making it easy for people to play together (as opposed to playing against one another, apparently) is quite interesting.
Another thing: the video game industry is now succeeding where the recording industry is failing. Coincidence? You decide! ;-)

The initial purpose of the meeting was to encourage the retail trade via various concerted efforts as follows.
1. It was agreed that we should create a generic name under which our type of catalogue could be labelled in order to focus attention on what we do. We discussed various names for our type of music(s) and on a show of hands 'World Music' was agreed as the 'banner' under which we would work. Other suggestions were 'World Beat', 'Hot...', 'Tropical...' and various others. It was suggested that all of the labels present would use 'World Music' on their record sleeves (to give a clear indication of the 'File Under...' destination) and also on all publicity material etc. There followed a discussion on whether or not 'World Music' should be presented as a designed logo or simply as a specific type face. Discussion followed as to the extent to which this might engender exclusivity of elitism, thereby begging the question of how any other label/organisation may be able to join the club. The discussion centred around the possible conflict between the short term commercial aim of promoting 'World Music' (sponsored, promoted, and paid for by us), and the longer term aim of establishing 'World Music' as the generic term for this kind of music as with Reggae/Soul/Disco etc. (non-exclusive and open to all). Artists designs solicited for the next meeting.

Robin Denselow How easily did the phrase "world music" come about?
IA There was a vote, but the debate was not so much hey, let's get something trendy, it was to make sure that the term didn't exclude things. For instance, "worldbeat" left out anything without bass and drums. "Ethnic" was too academic.
Pasted from <http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,11710,1249391,00.html>
CG My reservation about the term "world music" has always been that all the great terms - like jazz, reggae, rock'n'roll - sound musical. They come up in songs. Nobody is ever going to have a song title with that phrase "world music" in it. If you took the word "music" away, and just called it "world", that would be better.

Libérez-nous des libéraux (texte de Batlam et Biz / musique de Chafiik)
- Prêt pas prêt la charrue Charest, acharnée, charcute en charpie la charpente
De la maison qu'on a mis 40 ans à bâtir
- C'pas toi qui a milité pour Amir Khadir ? -( … )
-Maintenant la table est mise pour 4 ans à pâtir, à pâlir à vue d'œil
Ahuris à la vue d'la bande d'abrutis qui bradent à bride abattue
Qui vendent à rabais, par la bande c'qu'y a pas de prix
Une fois l'mandat fini, le pays ressemble d'un abatis
Coupe sombre, coupe à blanc, Coupe Grey
« Alouette, je te plumerai »
Pis pour couper court au courroux populaire
Patapouf étouffe la foule et légifère à tombeau ouvert
Pis tout sourire il sert la soupe populaire
( C'est ça être solidaire quand on a sacré tout à terre )
Afin de faire taire un argumentaire unique en terre d'Amérique
Mais son affaire, ça fait ben trop l'affaire des régents d'affaires
Du Canada pis du Conseil du Patronat
Bâillon pas bâillon, je raille pareil, le patron des patrons
« Ta yeule Taillon ! »
Heille si le dément démantèlement t'excite tellement
Que c'est comme de la musique à tes oreilles
Comment t'aimes le tintamarre des barbares, dans tes tympans d'avare hagard ?
Face à la menace de la braderie on brandit
Le poing de la Patrie à la face des bandits
Face à la menace de la braderie on brandit le poing ...
Libérez-nous des Libéraux !
J'te l'dis carré, catégorique
Jean Charest, Mike Harris : même combat, même charisme
Même kermesse des biens et services publics
Câlisse faut que ça finisse
La chasse aux bs pour eux c't'une business inespérée
Pis ceux qui dépérissent
Y reste plus qu'à prier Saint Jean-Baptiste
Ça vous apprendra, ma race de séparatistes
Y'a pas de place, où on peut pas faire la piasse
Contrats de performance pour la SGF, pour les CPE, ou les SDF
Un impôt sur la quête? Tiens, ça serait pas bête !
Ça dirige le Québec comme une PME
Comme un pimp ses putes, pour qu'elles alignent les P-I-P-E-S'ti !
Ça se sait ça s'connaît, la clef du succès pour le 24 Sussex
C'est d'assexuer le Québec
Quel beau sujet pour Jean-Claude Labrecque
« À Hauteur de Gnome » ( hauteur de braguette )
Sucer debout, c'est ça se tenir drette...
zzzzzzzzzzzzip : «Je suis prêt »
On est loin de « Maître chez Nous »
Maintenant comme jamais, il y a un traître chez nous
Ça s'entend quand il parle comme un derrière de boîte de céréales
Si tu penses me faire taire, tu perds ton temps j'suis intarissable
« Je vais sous ton ciel, Muse! et je suis ton féal »
Face à la menace…
Libérez-nous des Libéraux !
Pendant que le kid de Sherbrooke
Liquide au souk ce qui nous distingue
Au carnaval libéral fédéral, ça bringue dingue
« Viva Canada ! Banana republica ! »
« Mandat sur mandat, on est encore là ! »
Un parti unique, c'est un parti inique, cynique, qui nique
Tout débat démocratique
La confiance de la rue est rompue
Car la cour de l'empereur corrompu accumule les écus
Et enfin, quand il sent la fin, le monarque débarque
Mais passe le pouvoir à son homme de main
Comme un bon roi Chrétien
Mais selon moi, Martin
Tient du requin ben plus que du dauphin
L'armateur, arnaqueur, anglo, franco –on sait pus trop-
Joue sur tous les tableaux
C'est l'homme des shaloms et des salamalecs
Mais comment croyez-vous qu'il conçoive le Québec ?
Depuis 10 ans, véritable sous-marin
Soi-disant nous tend la main
Mais mate-le nous démâter
En parquant l'gros paquebot des fédéraux dans nos eaux
C'est sûr il s'insinue comme la moelle dans nos os
En somme ça me semble simple : sous les libéraux
Québec et Ottawa sont les lames d'un ciseau
L'une décrisse les racines du lys
Et l'autre s'immisce au sein de nos services
Ça fait qu'émasculé, pis enculé, le calcul est pas compliqué : on va r'culer
Devant tant d'unifoliés déployés à tous les paliers
Croyez qu'on va tous se noyer, broyés, dans la marée rouge
À moins qu'on ne bouge …
Enweille bouge!
Libérez-nous des libéraux !
Les cols bleus, les cols blancs, toutes les écoles confondues
Faut se ruer dans la rue, au printemps comme une crue
Faire éclater notre ras-le-bol, une débâcle de casseroles Trêve de paroles, faites du bruit!
Un charivari pour chavirer ce parti, comme en Argentine, en Bolivie
D'un pôle à l'autre, c'est un constat continental :
À bas le bulldozer libéral !
Libérez-nous des Libéraux !
Tamtid'lidé délibérez du libellé
Tamtid'lido libérez-nous des libéraux

World Change and Idealism
Just when you think I've been too much of an Apple fanboy for one day...
Think Different - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this what the world really needs? Are the dreamers' dreams worthier than those of the majority?
Think Different - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.So, the idea here: idealists may in fact be involved in this type of social change Attali and others have been talking about.
Is this what the world really needs? Are the dreamers' dreams worthier than those of the majority?

Playing with Music
Once in a while, Peter Gabriel's Real World record label holds contests for music remixes. You download sample packs and try to create an interesting remix with it. Some of these remixes are released by Real World.
To me, this is part of the whole "mashup" era for music and other creative forms. Doing something with music besides listening to you or buying it.
This time, Angélique Kidjo is among the sources for this competition.

Jazz and Shallowness
This is kind of sad. What could have been an interesting discussion of music and culture turned out to be shallower than a Ken Burns movie. My guess is, Lydon was taking by the flattery. And the accent.
I'll nurture my own accent but I won't lick anyone's boots.

Ian Cross
Sounds like an interesting character. His students are working on diverse topics relevant to anthropology generally. Many of his publications are available as preprints. And, intriguing factoid:
[he] is the only member of the Music Faculty at Cambridge (as far as he is
aware) to have rejected an offer to join the Bay City Rollers.
