When most DJs are asked to give their top 5 songs, or when a famous actress is asked for her top 10 movies of all times they often cannot answer and come up with a clever answer that show their preferences, but not really. Du-uh! Of course... our mind does not work like that, linearly; it works in contexts, it all depends... of the network of related songs we are living at the moment... (why do I post here instead of where I supposed to make smart posts about networks? - in my PhD super-ultra-cool-and-somewhat-arrogant seminar taught by Dutton and Castells; but what PhD seminars are not? what PhD students are not? :))
So... those are some of the songs playing in my mp3 player at the moment (haven't got an iPOD YET). I was going to make a super network of networks of relationships with them, following the fantastic idea of Musicovery. But... since I could not install a Photoshop (or any editing/drawing software for that matter) in my work computer, you will have to use your imagination!

it would be interesting to see a network with this songs... would it be a song society? does it have a culture behind it? what determines which song is more important then other? ...... ;)
firs of all... madonna rules, always. simply because she slept with most of them anyway. or most of them would like to f* madonna. sex is what creates power. sex with more people (even dream sex), more connections, quality connections as well (we are talking about madonna here...)=> more important, more power. SIMPLE. the culture behind it? sexyness is sex. sex is power. madonna is power and sex. madonna is culture. madonna is our society. not everyone´s, i agree. some people prefer britney.
(madonna... even unconsciously i did it... placed her name before the song, as oppose to what i did to the others...)
Uh
Where´s VOGUE? I know that you love it so much as I do...
But I have to say that you have an enourms talent to explain your life, or you just try, with the theories you´re studying right now...
So, explain to me just one thing:
those songs are connected with people´s sexual life because when they hear this music they start to be more sexual or those songs were playing just in the time-space-spirit of they, or us, were being more sexual?
Is that why people say that the music you hear at 13 years old you´ll like it forever?
Network, webs, redes, xarxas... this things remind so much ecology... which has sex as a main factor to explain life... my god... Madonna rules, as you wich demonstrate...
