    MSH 334: Music Since 1945 (Spring 2017)

    James Nitis commented on the post, Other Truths - Do Make Say Think

    Thank You! To me, it was a very interesting setup and I thought a couple images would give context. I would love to discuss rock music and minimalism in class. I think this track on Interpol’s debut album, […]
