9. Music
Thurs., Nov. 20
Post #9. Music: Work on some music of the place you're going. You could translate the lyrics of a song, watch some youtube videos of music and dance performances, make your own CD of music from the place, do some research into the popular music of different time periods, find what you like, listen to some internet radio originating in the place you’re going. In your post, write about what you did and what you learned, and include text links to the websites of what you looked at and listened to—lyrics, internet radio, video, etc. You could also add any youtube videos that you like to the PlaceTV page of Place Studies, and link to them in your post. If you want to explore internet radio, try Live365, and use the search engine to locate radio stations in the place you're studying.
