Politicizing of art

[Fawkes]

I'm writing a paper on the nature of art and music in the current age of reproducibility. Actually, I'm rewriting a paper I did where I critiqued Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and Theodor Adorno's The Radio Symphony. I'm supposed to use at least two other sources that deal with somewhat similar topics and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. They can be other pieces by the aforementioned authors, and the shorter the better.

Also, if you've read either of those pieces, feel free to post your opinions about them, I'd like to discuss them.

Edit: yeah, the thread title's grammatically incorrect

Excellent stuff on punk recordings, Leftist radio, very much informed by Benjamin and Raymond Williams
