Final Exam

Earlier this semester, we all listened to and wrote commentaries on the (then) three most recent CDs published by New World Records. Recently I had occasion to look them up on iTunes.  Results:

  • Presented with a name search of “Mathew Rosenblum,” iTunes showed the new New World CD Circadian Rhythms.

  • Presented with a name search of “Robert Carl,” iTunes showed the new New World CD From Japan.

  • Presented with a name search of “Annea Lockwood,” iTunes showed several other CDs but not the recent New World CD In Our Name.

  • And for “Annea Lockwood In Our Name,” again nothing.

  • Puzzling: Lockwood’s was published in June, the others later.  Why is it missing?

  • Responding to a search for “In Our Name,” iTunes delivers the CD, In Our Name, listed as having been authored “by various artists.”
