Week 4 of Module 4: It’s the Last Week of Month 4!

It’s the last week of month four of Praxis and time flew by! To recap, this month was about consuming content and feeding my brain with a healthy diet of philosophy, economics, culture, and history.

This final week will focus on how everything in culture is a remix. Additionally, I’m watching a short series about how everything is a remix by Kirby Ferguson. I highly recommend everyone to watch this because he explains why culture has slowed down and how it progresses.

Everything is a Remix Part 1

  • What is considered legal remixing?
    -Covers, performances of other people’s material
    -Knock-offs, copies that stay within legal boundaries
  • Led Zeppelin started out by copying famous bands like Spirit
  • After touring with Spirit, Led Zeppelin released Stairway to Heaven which has a riff similar to Taurus
  • Led Zeppelin later became the copied and various bands tried to emulate them
