Abstract
Recorded music long ago relieved us of the hard labor of performing what we wanted to hear. It relieved us of the necessity of going to a concert hall. And now it has even relieved us of any need to listen. In the sound tracking of America-in the constantly segueing fragments that fill our public and private spaces-music is merely the inescapable background, the relentless mood-setter, the arbiter and signal of proper behavior. -J. Bottum
