  • Broadcasting the Bedroom: Intimate Musical Practices and Collapsing Contexts on Youtube
    Broadcasting the bedroom: Intimate musical practices and collapsing contexts on YouTube Maarten Michielse In an era of social media and online participation, uploading a personal video to a platform such as YouTube appears to be an easy and natural activity for large groups of users.i Various discourses on online narcissism and exhibitionism (Balance, 2012; Keen, 2007, 2012; Twenge and Campbell, 2010) give the impression that current generations have become extremely comfortable (perhaps even too comfortable) with the online possibilities of self-exposure and self-representation (Mallan, 2009). As I will argue in this chapter, however, this is largely a misrepresentation of the everyday struggles and experiences of online participants. For many, posting a video on YouTube is a rather ambivalent activity: joyful and fun at times, but also scary and accompanied by feelings of insecurity, especially when the content is relatively delicate. This shows itself perhaps most clearly in a particular genre of online videos: the ‘musical bedroom performance’. On YouTube, this genre has become a popular trope in the last couple of years. In these videos, a person sings and/or plays a musical instrument in front of the camera from the private sphere of the home. As Jean Burgess (2008) argues, the musical bedroom performance ‘draws on the long traditions of vernacular creativity articulated to ‘privatised’ media use’ (p. 107).ii Historically, the bedroom has functioned as a crucial site for cultural expression and experimentation. This is especially true for teenagers and young adults, for whom the bedroom is, as Sian Lincoln (2005) writes, a domain ‘in which they are able to exert some control, be creative and make that space their own’ (p.

  • Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 2015: Prize Money and Purse
    Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 2015: Prize Money and Purse Payout Details Personal Finance Syndication Network - http://pfsyn.com The Fourth of July traditionally calls for watching a baseball game or fireworks with a hot dog in hand (or three). But even if you tend to overeat on all-American dishes on this food-centric holiday, your over- indulgence is probably nothing compared to the food an elite group of athletes will be gorging themselves on — and the money they’ll be earning — competing in Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4. This annual eating competition, staged at Coney Island in New York City, is a bona fide sporting event (participants are even referred to as athletes). It’s a true nationally-televised contest of intestinal fortitude between the world’s bravest and best competitive eaters. On Saturday afternoon, the competitors will race against the clock to down as many hot dogs as they can within 10 minutes and get a chance at a piece of the total $40,000 purse payout. Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest Prize Money Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest is as historic as the company itself. Started in 1916, the 2015 contest marks the 99th time that fans and contestants alike have gathered from across the world (and aspiring contestants) to watch this amazing feat of hot dog consumption; in recent years, according to the Nathan’s Famous website, the event has attracted up to 35,000 spectators. Not just anyone can enter the eating contest, however. Contestants were required to participate in one of 13 qualifying events held from April to June in various cities across the U.S.
