I'll give it a shot, here goes:

In the 1960's the greatness of the blues, was discovered by white American and European musicians.
Quite a few of these blues-inspired bands became legends.
Many of these are well-renowned and known to many still today.
Bands such as The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Canned Heat, Cream and The Yardbirds made the blues appeal to young white audiences, something that black blues artists had yet not been able to do in America.
With the exception of white crossover covers of black rhythm and blues songs. Such as Frank Hutchison - already recording in the early 1920's - and thus considered the first white man to record the blues. Soon to be followed by Darby & Tarlton - who with their songs "Birmingham Jail" and "Columbus Stockade Blues", coupled on one record, managed to sell more than 200 000 copies.

Rock has since the 1960's undergone several quite a few blues revivals.
For example Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and even Eddie Van Halen - are inspired by the blues
- and used it as a foundation for their own offshoot styles. With this inspiriring generations to listen to
as well as to play the blues.

2a) Explain what a ratio is in three or four sentences:
Ratio is the amount of how much you download and how much you share(upload).
Say if I DL 2G of music then upload 1G of music my ratio will be .50. Its better have a higher ratio so one is not seen as just a leach.
2b)If you were a member of OiNK, tell us what your ratio was at the time of its closing. (be honest!)
Never was a member.
3) Briefly summarize the influence of African American culture on Western popular music (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum).
It started way back when rock and roll music which was the blues sped up influenced some of the earliy rock and roll pioneres like elvis presley. At the time chuck berry was recording it was a sound that was not heard before and often duplicated after that. And many other black artist of that time had to put on a “show” to be noticed. Until record company’s saw the potential in R’n’B, soul music, and a few record company’s started pushing these type of records eg Motown, chess records. Then years passed R’n’B survived the 60’s-80’s.The 80’s a new genre of music emerged Hip Hop. This genre has influenced everthing and is a steadly growing market. Afiracan American music has beeply rooted its self in all aspsects of music.
4a) What (in order) are the 5 best releases from the last 12 months?

3. RUN D.M.C.- Raising hell

5) What is the most unjust pitchfork numerical rating? Why? (five sentence minimum).
Im going to be honest I have never read a pitchfork rating
6) You are stranded on a desert island. Choose one artist's music: Morrissey, Moby, or Momus? Why? (six sentence minimum).i would choose moby maybe for the fact that if you listen to anyone’s music long enough you can find the music to be some what listenable. So I can just honestly say that anyone of these artist I would take and listen to just for the simple fact that I will maybe go deaf after a while. So even if the music completey blows I would be ok IMO. There is no thing as bad music just horrible musicians that’s how I feel
7) BONUS REQUIREMENT: Please post a picture of yourself. (HINT: do this.)

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you on OiNK or other trackers
Broken Social Scene - Bee Hives (320kbps)
Animal Collective - live at variety playhouse 2009 (320)
Digable Planets -Blowout Comb (320)

2a) Explain what a ratio is in three or four sentences.
A ratio it the amount one has downloaded divided by the amount one has uploaded. It is the key to watching members of a site, and whether they are just leeching and not actually seeding things. A way to keep the riffraff out.

2b)If you were a member of OiNK, tell us what your ratio was at the time of its closing. (be honest!)
i wasn't a member

3) Briefly summarize the influence of African American culture on Western popular music (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum).
The whole start to jazz, which brought along things such as soul was started by African Americans. That with the help of things like Motown got swirled into popular music, and started becoming interracial. Another influence it has was the birth of hip hop from soul, which is a major factor in pop music, and today where it has transformed to rap. Without African American culture we would not have half the music we have today.

4a) What (in order) are the 5 best releases from the last 12 months?
Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport
Lightning Bolt - Earthly Delights
Washed Out - High Times
Raekwon - Only Built for Cuban Linx
Cymbals Eat Guitars - Why There Are Mountains

4b) What (in order) are the 5 best releases from the year you were born?
Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul Is Dead - De La Soul
loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Steady Diet of Nothing - Fugazi
Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr

5) What is the most unjust pitchfork numerical rating? Why? (five sentence minimum).
I think girls was the most unjust rating at 9.1. The simple indie pop tunes, and standard vocals brought nothing to the table. Sure, it was an okay album, but for it to score that high on such an egotistical scale is dumb. I can't stand girls album's pop tunes for more than 4 minutes. I hope pitchfork would wise up about their idiotic rating scale.

6) You are stranded on a desert island. Choose one artist's music: Morrissey, Moby, or Momus? Why? (six sentence minimum).
I'd have to pick Morrissey, as much as it might sweep me into depression, especially being alone on an island. I was always a fan of the smiths, it's what i was raised on. Meat is murder and The Queen is Dead are both pure gold, so i would always choose Morrissey, despite his rocky solo career in my opinion. Moby might have been an interesting choice though..
