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. -
Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Del Paxton, Who Just Wish That People Would Think Their Band Was from the '90S
:: View email as a web page :: On Friday, My Morning Jacket finally released The Waterfall II, an album recorded in the mid-2010s. On The Waterfall, My Morning Jacket sounded determined to remind fans of the monolithic jams they made their name with in the ’00s. The sequel, however, carries no such pretenses. Even the hardest rocking track, “Wasted,” which settles on a surly guitar groove accented with punchy horns, feels more like an invitation to explore the darkest corners of innerspace than a call to party. In that way, The Waterfall II feels (apologies for using a corny term) more honest. Much of the record is composed of bleary-eyed, pedal steel-laced ballads that dwell ruefully on loss and aspire gorgeously to a state of healing, creating an all-too-relatable vibe of heartsick restlessness driven by a desperate desire to believe that tomorrow will somehow be better. So we guess it really is relevant to our endless now after all.

A “Live Documentary” Collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo
R. BUCK- MINSTER FULLER A “live documentary” collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo CONTACT: [email protected] www.buckminsterfullerfilm.com CAN ONE PERSON CHANGE THE WORLD? END POVERTY? END WAR? Buckminster Fuller, twentieth-century futurist, architect, engi- neer, and inventor—he called himself a “comprehensive an- ticipatory design scientist”—experimented tirelessly for fifty years to find out just what a single person can do on behalf of humanity. R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller is a new hour-long “live documentary” from Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Sam Green exploring Fuller’s utopian vision of radical social change through a design revolution. Originally commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Design and Ar- chitecture Department, the project is a collaboration between Green and the legendary indie band Yo La Tengo. At each screening, Green narrates the film in person and cues imag- es while Yo La Tengo performs their original score. The film’s unique form draws inspiration equally from old travelogues, the Benshi tradition, and TEDtalks. 2 Buckminster Fuller was a grandiose and generous thinker, teeming with ideas. He once put together a lecture series called “Everything I Know”—it was forty-two hours long. No notes. He was an early proponent of conservation and environmen- tal stewardship as social justice; Fuller was interested in “doing more with less,” so that everybody could have enough. He redesigned human structures from cars and bathrooms all the way up to entire cities, inspiring figures as diverse as the industrialist Henry Kaiser, John Cage, and Stewart Brand. -
