As we talked in class, only a few of the students remembered 8-tracks, everyone remembered the cassette player and CD player, and almost everyone illegally downloads MP3’s to their computers. The next big thing always comes out, so I am waiting anxiously to see what the next way of receiving music is. But in the article, Hayes makes several connections and differences with post-modernism, and contemporary pop culture/music. Every genre of music, gets replayed and ripped to make more modern for kids now, movies always get re-done, and fashion no matter how old the style is gets re-worn. Artifacts, are the future of pop-culture in our society because America loves to recycle ideas in the music and movie industies. Even though, the way we listen to music is different, vinyl to cassette to CD’s the  music never dies. It can be remastered, which sounds better and yes vinyl is the best, our society always wants the best of everything, including the latest music.
