Summer 2004 and Beyond: Going to the GoGo
Thursday, 3 June 2004
Wednesday at Howard University
The Moorland-Spring Research Center, Howard University, Washington, DC 20059

Today was a productive and fun day. I went down to Howard University and visited the Founders Library's Moorland-Spring Research Center. While I was there, I perused Sia Robinson's 1990 Masters Thesis in Human Communication Studies "A Qualitative Analysis of the Nature and Meaning of Go-Go Music". It should be a good reference tool for shaping my own thesis.

I thought about how people have discussed that due to internet downloading of music, that eventually albums will only be used as promotions for attending concert performances. That's pretty much what PA tapes/CDs are for GoGo bands right now because they don't get royalties on them, just an up-front fee for a copy of the master.
