Ethnographical Analysis

For my ethnography assignment I would like to follow Radio UTD (Radio UTD can be found at radio.utdallas.edu). While not a specific genre, it would be interesting to see the various differences it has over radio stations that are played in other locations. Having come from Austin, it will be interesting to see what changes might arise from being in a different location. Coming from their website, it looks like pop is played at a far greater consistency than in Austin (though, the same songs tend to be played overall). They also have a "Top 25" list of their played songs from 2009, with Atlas Sound from the Logos CD being their number one song for the year:



The other albums listed are: Merriweather Post Pavilion, Embryonic, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Manners, Veckatimest, The XX, Fever Ray, Try Brother, Bromst, Two Dancers, Yo La Tango - Popular Songs, Bitte Orca, Psychic Chasms, The Crying Light, Tarot Sport, Zebra, Hospice, Girls - Album, Real Estate, La Roux, Carpet Madness, New Universe, and Slow Dance. Having not ever listened to any of the albums in question (or even artists) it will be interesting to see the changes over a larger period of time.
