Making me happy today

Seems a fitting start...

As a firm believer in opening with a song, here is Jack White in his Third Man Recording Booth covering Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter".  This is/will be a blog about media, hopefully looking to the impact that medium has on our understanding of content/context/message.  What better way to begin that conversation than with an example of the turn back to analog, at least in terms of the production of sound.  I will never hear the original vinyl record that Jack's booth made as he played that song, yet the context is preserved for me digitally--especially with regard to the method of production.  This site is nothing but musings upon these sorts of moments, some more detailed, some simply links.
