Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

You forgot to mention the free stuff!

Thanks.

But you forgot to mention the competition and prizes.

The 12 best lists sent to stletters@primediamags.com with the subject line "Cultural Literacy" each will win something from Stereophile's online store. Deadline: May 1, 2007.

In the context of the theory of cultural literacy, inclusion is not so much a matter of having been "influential" as of being content that today's content creators will assume their audiences are familiar with. So, a musician can be very influential on other musicians, but, if their stuff does not get "recycled," it is less important for cultural literacy.

Not the best explanation possible, but a pointer in the right direction.

Ironically enough, today's mail brought a pre-release review copy of a new SACD release of Rhapsody in Blue. Wish it had been here three months ago.

Cheers,

John M
