Norman Lear Center program: Listen Again: Music You Should Change Your Mind About Right Now
Roy and Edna Disney|CalArts Theater. 631 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012., 8:30 p.m. | |
The
Popular Music Project of The Norman Lear Center presents Listen Again: Music You Should Change Your Mind About Right Now. From the Lear Center: "All pop music, past and present, is fair game on this night of live, rapid-fire music criticism as the members of a distinguished panel of writers, musicians and scholars have five minutes each to persuade the audience to reconsider a series of pop tracks—and find in them hitherto undiscovered pleasures." This evening celebrates the publication of Listen Again: A Momentary History of Pop Music, a collection of writings drawn from the Experience Music Project Pop Conference. Panelists include
Ann Powers, Los Angeles Times;
Stephin Merritt, Magnetic Fields;
R.J. Smith, Los Angeles Magazine;
Oliver Wang, Soul-sides.com and Cal State Long Beach;
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly and many others. Contact
