    Managing the Boundaries of Taste: Culture, Valuation, and Computational Social Science* Ryan Light University of Oregon Colin Odden Ohio State University Ohio Colleges of Medicine This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in Social Forces following peer review. The version of record is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1093/sf/sox055. *Please direct all correspondence to Ryan Light, [email protected]. The authors thank James Moody, Jill Ann Harrison, Matthew Norton, Brandon Stewart, Achim Edelmann, Clare Rosenfeld Evans, Jordan Besek, and Brian Ott for their helpful comments on earlier drafts of this paper. Managing the Boundaries of Taste: Culture, Valuation, and Computational Social Science Abstract The proliferation of cultural objects, such as music, books, film and websites, has created a new problem: How do consumers determine the value of cultural objects in an age of information glut? Crowd-sourcing – paralleling word-of-mouth recommendations – has taken center stage, yet expert opinion has also assumed renewed importance. Prior work on the valuation of artworks and other cultural artifacts identifies ways critics establish and maintain classificatory boundaries, such as genre. We extend this research by offering a theoretical approach emphasizing the dynamics of critics’ valuation and classification. Empirically, this analysis turns to Pitchfork.com, an influential music review website, to examine the relationship between classification and valuation. Using topic models of fourteen years of Pitchfork.com album reviews (n=14,495), we model the dynamics of valuation through genre and additional factors predictive of positive reviews and cultural consecration. We use gold record awards to study the relationship between valuation processes and commercial outcomes.

  • Music Is Live and Outside …
    Enter the Flange Factory: Math the Band releases a multi-concept project Troubled times call for audacious measures. Math the Band is back, this time with a whirlwind of multimedia the likes of which has never been attempted. Their latest project, Flange Factory Five, is an immersive experience that includes a novel, record, game boy cartridge, energy drink and boutique guitar pedal. MTB, sometimes billed as “Math The Band The Band,” is the project of frontman Kevin Steinhauser and a rotating cast of characters, which currently features guitarist Max Holbrook, bassist Adam Waz and drummer Matt Zappa. The band has been operational for 20 years, and based in Providence for 12. A characteristically joyous effort, the Flange Factory Five features the band’s signature combination of glitchy, 8-bit keyboards over distorted guitars. A project like this requires the boundless energy they put forward in their ecstatic live shows, and it totally comes through on the recording. The uptempo “Dual of the Deer” features guitars and synth lines in roaring triumphiant harmony. “DKWIC” has a great Brian May-style guitar solo, and “Coach Says” is a hard-edged tune at the circle pit end of the spectrum. Stenhouser, who started the project in high school, puts every ounce of himself into the vocals. Along with great playing throughout, this album brings us the best of grit and nerddom, like a skater punk version of the music from Crash Bandicoot. But the video game sounds can belie the smart composition and clever lyrics. “Wet Cement” is ultra-catchy montage fodder about starting a new chapter: “The fear is exciting and I can’t wait to be born.” An additional treat is a suite of “Flange Factory Five” instrumental interludes that could be the jingle for the cartoon television show of the same name.

  • Not a Photograph Rating: 8/10 the 2002 Reunion of Boston's
    Not a Photograph Rating: 8/10 The 2002 reunion of Boston’s Mission of Burma could easily be lumped into the slew of post- millennial indie and punk regroupings that have taken place over the past 7 years – The Pixies, Gang of Four, Shellac, Slint, et al. But there’s something different going on here. This is a band of once groundbreaking post-punk musicians turned average Joes who, in their own words, are really unsure of why they decided to regroup. It can’t be for the money (although they’re certainly making some off the band now, it ain't Pixies money). And it definitely doesn’t seem to be for the fame (although they seem to be slightly dazed and amazed by the adoration they begin to receive again). And they haven’t stopped with just playing live shows – they’ve also recorded two well- received records over the past 5 years for Matador. This new DVD, named after one of their classic songs and directed by David Kleiler, Jr. and Jeff Iwanicki, chronicles the band’s reunion as well as its early years, throu gh extensive interviews with the members and affiliated fans and musicians. The 19 years leading up to the decision to play together again have seen varying levels of success for Mission of Burma’s members. Bass player Clint Conley has found a career as a Boston-area TV producer and self-described "suburban dad," while drummer Peter Prescott is a buyer for a Boston record shop, who admits that he could definitely use the money they might receive from regrouping.

  • "Not a Photograph" Page 1 of 2 Message for The
    Message For The Week | DVD Review Page 1 of 2 Wednesday, December 13, 2006 DVD Review A Message Exclusive Look At New Music By: Joe Milliken Wednesday, December 13, 2006 Mission Of Burma was a very short-lived band, however they have been described by critics and musicians alike as "the most influential post-punk band you never heard of your life", and were very much ahead of their time. Formed in 1979 out of Boston, Clint Conly (bass/vocals), Roger Miller (guitar/vocals), Pete Prescott (drums), and Martin Swope (tape effects, looping, soundboard) were a powerful foursome that combined intelligent, art-rock lyrics with the energy and attitude of punk that created noisy-yet-melodic outbursts that would strongly influence everyone from Husker Du, Sonic Youth, The Pixies and REM, to current artists such as Prodigy, Moby and even Nirvana. Unfortunately, the band would only release two singles, one six-track EP titled Signals, Calls And Marches and one full album titled Vs., before being forced to disband because guitarist Miller's hearing was being destroyed. However despite their all-too-brief existence, their impact on the underground indie-rock scene is perhaps without equal, and it is a shame that they didn't survive long enough to reap the rewards of a genre they helped create. After they went their separate ways, Miller and Prescott would continue with various music Mission Of Burma's "Not A projects through the years, but Conly left the music scene altogether, only producing the first Photograph" Yo La Tengo album along the way.

Based physically in Boston since forming in 1990, the horn and percussion-based group is led by saxophonist/composer Ken Field, who describes it as "a funk and street beat brass band, playing New Orleans and other modern improvised celebratory styles." The Snakes' music is rooted in the New Orleans tradition of jazz funerals – a tradition unique to the birthplace of jazz – which began with a 'first line' procession to the burial ground, a brass band playing hymns in a funeral dirge. Afterwards, there was a celebration of the deceased's life, with a 'second line' of musicians playing up-tempo music celebrating the miracle of life. Playing Field's original compositions and rearrangements of traditional tunes, opening up new avenues for improvisation, the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble celebrates, expands, and transforms the brass band tradition – a tradition, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, that is now in diaspora.

    411mania.com Page 1 of 2 Not A Photograph: The Mission Of Burma Story - DVD Posted by Ian Wright on 11.26.2006 Listen up and I'll tell a story About the most influential band you never heard. Feature: I’ll begin this review with a quick caveat for the reader. I’m a fan of Mission Of Burma’s music and I approached this film as such. While I’m predisposed to liking their music and as a result wanting to like the members of the band I’m not predisposed to liking a film about them. Ok? OK. Lets start with a very brief recap of who exactly Mission Of Burma are. They are a band and in the 80’s they rocked. They rocked hard and fast and loud. So loud in fact that the reason they split up was because their guitarist was destroying his ears. A bit too brief? Fine, I’ll expand a bit. Mission Of Burma formed in Boston in 1980 when former members of the Moving Parts Roger Miller and Clint Conley recruited Peter Prescott and Martin Swope into their new band and over the course of 3 years they released some stunning music in the form one EP, Signals, Calls And Marches, and one full length album Vs.. They also toured the US to, for the most part, raging indifference. This was the era when classic rock dinosaurs like Rush and Journey roamed the earth and there wasn’t much in the way of avenues for underground bands to get the word out about themselves.

  • The Mission of Burma Story ½ Europe, the Final Countdown Tour
    Music reviews Page 6 of 9 Mission of Burma, Not a Photograph: The Mission of Burma Story Mission of Burma is a post-punk band that was active between 1979 and 1983. The band only released an EP, Signals, Calls and Marches, and an album, Vs. They were anyway an important influence for bands like the Pixies and Nirvana. The band decided to reunite 19 years later to play a couple of concerts, before reforming full time and recording 2 albums, ONoffON in 2004 and The Obliterati in 2006. This DVD presents us the story of the band from its creation to its ending due to the guitarist Roger Miller hearing problems. We can also discover their return on stage in 2002 and the recording of their first album in more than 20 years. The 70 minute documentary includes commentaries by each of the band members, friends, family, musicians that were inspired by their music and music critics. The production of the DVD is particularly well done with the integration of many music sequences from the years before the band was formed until now. We can also see performances from a couple of concerts of 2002, as well as in the studio. All the live performances we can see in the documentary are also available in their entirety in the bonus section of the DVD. I have to admit I didn’t know the Mission of Burma music very well, but the DVD gives us the opportunity to discover the band. At the end, I think it’s most of all an album for the fans of the band who will have on hand the complete story of their favorite band.
