The Medium is the Message/Massage?

Also per the Davis talk, Marshall McLuhan is an important name in various circles (academic and otherwise) for his work with new media, technology, society, and culture.

Below are sides A and B of the album, The Medium is the Massage. Give it a listen and notice how pastiche – a mix of different sounds and voices – functions. We hear McLuhan as our “narrator,” as other voices and sounds interject. Not dissimilar from what a DJ does or…hmmm…maybe what writers do, too? Enjoy!
