You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

The Local Radio Station Ownership Rule in its current form, including current numerical maximums on the number of AM/FM radio stations that one owner can own in a single market, and also including the current AM/FM subcaps, remain necessary in order to promote diversity, competition, and localism in AM/FM radio in local communities served. Importantly, the Commission should not expand its current definition of the relevant product market beyond broadcast radio stations for purposes of analyzing the Local Radio Station Ownership Rule. The Commission must not abdicate its legal obligation to promote the public interest in diversity, localism, and competition in radio broadcasting at local market levels by applying a purely competitive analysis of how the AM/FM radio industry is perceived to compete with other audio and Internet platforms for global advertising revenue.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.

  • Hotel California”
    Liti Nguyen English 1102M Valerie Morrison November 6, 2007 The Poetic Meaning Behind “Hotel California” On the evening of January 12, 1998, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame initiated seven new members: Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Don Felder, Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner, Timothy B. Schmit, and Joe Walsh. Collectively, these men form the legendary band the Eagles (The Eagles). The band, throughout their three decade career, has sold millions of records and became the first band in history to have an album certified as platinum (The Eagles). Their best-selling album to date contains their most popular single of the same name, “Hotel California” (The Eagles). Thirty years after its initial release, the song remains controversial due to its ambiguous meaning. Despite its success, the Eagles refuse to reveal the true meaning of song, and as a result, many theories have evolved concerning its meaning, such as devil worshiping and drug use (“Hotel California (song)”). In addition to the ambiguity of the lyrics, the song contains many contradictions and bizarre images. As a result, shifts in tone and deviations aid in delivering the progression of “Hotel California” from festive to frightful. At first, the song conveys a sense of exhilaration but quickly shifts to a sense of urgency to escape with changing tones. For example, the chorus begins with: Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here (lines 13-18) Repetition of “such a lovely place” creates emphasis of that particular, positive aspect of the hotel, making the hotel seem warm and inviting (line 14).

  • Musical Genre Tag Classification with Curated and Crowdsourced Datasets
    Musical Genre Tag Classification With Curated and Crowdsourced Datasets Omar Diab, Anthony Mainero, Reid Watson Stanford University, Computer Science {odiab, amainero, rawatson}@stanford.edu Abstract Analyzing music audio files based on genres and other qualitative tags is an active field of research in machine learning. When paired with particular classification algorithms, most notably support vector machines (SVMs) and k-nearest-neighbor classifiers (KNNs), certain features, including Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), Chroma attributes and other spectral properties, have been shown to be effective features for classifying music by genre. In this paper we apply these methods and features across two datasets (GTZAN and the Million Song Dataset) with four different tag sources (GTZAN, The Echo Nest, MusicBrainz, and Last.fm). Two of these tag sources are professionally curated (GTZAN and MusicBrainz) while the other two are crowdsourced—that is, unmonitored users create the tags for each track. Two of the datasets had features on a track-by-track basis (GTZAN and Last.fm) while the other two are classified by artist. By exploring the cross-validation balanced accuracy across these different datasets, we find that classifications are made significantly more accurately on curated tags in comparison to crowdsourced tags, but that tagging by artist as opposed to by song creates a considerably smaller difference in effect. We found, however, that crowdsourced tags can be effective when done in large enough quantites, as seen in the Last.fm dataset. 1. Introduction In that effort, several papers have explored Musical genre classification is an active field the efficacy of learning algorithms to predict genres.
