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.

  • Pitchfork Tour 2016 Press Relea
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 21, 2016 Meeteetse Museums to Host Inaugural Pitchfork Ranch Tour July 30 Dr. Lenox Baker, owner of the Pitchfork Ranch near Meeteetse, will be leading the inaugural tour of the historic ranch on Saturday, July 30. The tour, organized by the Meeteetse Museums, leaves from the museum at 9 a.m. and begins on site at 10 a.m. The Meeteetse Museum is located at 1947 State Street. Participants should arrive at the museum no later than 8:30 a.m. to register. Those taking part are also asked to bring a picnic lunch and plenty of water. Guests may drive their own vehicles, but must travel with the organized group to the Pitchfork, which is private property. Carpooling is encouraged, but is not required. This tour will begin at the historic Red Barn and continue at the Bunk House. At the main ranch, tour participants will visit Pickett’s Cabin, the Stone House, and the Octagon House (which predated the Stone House). Current restoration and preservation efforts will also be discussed by Dr. Baker. In addition, there will be a visit to the former studio of photographer Charles Belden. Belden is well known for his images of the people and activities associated with the Pitchfork Ranch from 1914 until about 1940. The tour continues at the cemetery. Here, Dr. Baker will tell some very interesting stories associated with the site. If possible, the tour participants will also be allowed to visit the new black-footed ferret reintroduction site. The endangered ferrets are scheduled to be released on July 26 at the location of the 1981 discovery.

  • The Pitchfork Formula
    The Pitchfork Formula Robert Fry 1 Introduction Anyone who is interested in modern indie rock knows that Pitchfork is unquestionably the top source for independent music discovery. “En- try level alts” flock to the website for music recommendations. Hipsters deny following it while, in reality, they religiously absorb every song that is approved on Pitchfork’s “Playlist” (their recommended songs list). Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” tag is a universal seal of popular approval; once an album appears on Pitchfork, it has already become mainstream by indie music standards. As an avid music fan, I was personally interested in determining whether there is any method to Pitchfork’s rating scheme, and whether there are certain factors that re- veal how well an album will be received. If there are, is there any way to use those indicators to predict the score that Pitchfork gives an album before the album is released and anticipate the levels of hype that the album receives? In order to test this, I created a multivariate regression that attempts to predict the Pitchfork score of an album using data on the Pitchfork website prior to the album’s release. But perhaps the most relevant question that I hope to answer through this project is: “What should I listen to next?” 2 Data Collection All of my data were collected from Pitchfork’s website. I compiled a list of the 150 albums most recently reviewed by Pitchfork, exclud- ing albums that I deemed were not applicable to my study (for ex- ample, reissues and albums released by bands with previous albums that were released before Pitchfork was created).

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.

  • I Built My Sample of Music Albums by Taking All the Albums Listed for a US
    1 I Heard It Through the Grapevine: The Effects of Online Word of Mouth on Music Sales By Elaine Chang An honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Undergraduate College Leonard N. Stern School of Business New York University May 2007 Professor Marti G. Subrahmanyam Professor Vasant Dhar Faculty Advisor Thesis Advisor 2 Abstract: Word of mouth (WOM) has always been one of the most credible and influential sources of information for a consumer. With the advent of the Internet, new mediums of communication, such as blogs and social networking sites, have opened up, allowing more consumers to gather WOM information more easily than ever before. In this study, I examine the usefulness of online WOM, particularly from blogs and social networking sites, in predicting sales in the music industry. I track the changes in online WOM for a sample of 108 albums for four weeks before and after their release dates, and use a linear regression and regression tree to examine the relative significance of online WOM variables on their observation date in predicting album unit sales two weeks after that date. I find that the volume of blog posts about an album is the most consistently significant measure, with each additional blog post corresponding to higher album sales. In addition, I found that greater increases in an artist’s Myspace friends week over week and higher average consumer ratings also corresponded to higher sales. Although evidence supports my hypothesis that online word of mouth can be an important predictor of sales, my study also found that traditional factors are still relevant – albums released by major labels and albums with a number of reviews from mainstream sources like Rolling Stone also tended to have higher sales.

  • Dear Members of the Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction, I Am
    Dear Members of the Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction, I am writing to voice strong support for HB 2020, also known as the Clean Energy Jobs bill. My name is Becky Brun and I live in Hood River, where I am the owner of my own communications firm and a former city council member. I serve as the co-chair of the Hood River County Energy Council, which is an 11-member all-volunteer committee tasked with helping our local governing bodies implement our the Hood River County Energy Plan. The Hood River County Energy Plan is a blueprint to help our community reduce emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and increase economic benefits related to energy use in Hood River County, while improving community resilience and energy independence. Our community, like many others in Oregon, considers climate change as a serious threat to our economy. With mounting evidence showing that governments must act with greater urgency to address global warming, the state must step up to mitigate our greenhouse gas emissions. If it doesn't climate change will exact enormous costs to our people, environment and economy. As an Oregon resident and business owner, I want to stress the economic opportunity presented by HB 2020. The Cap-and-Invest program created by HB 2020 will send the right market signals to drive investment and job growth across the state. A recent economic analysis commissioned by the Governor’s office found that passage of the bill would lead to around 50,000 new jobs in Oregon, a 2.5% growth in Oregon’s real GDP, and an increase in Oregonians’ household income across all tax brackets, with the most going to low-income households.
