Zoo Station? Numb? Half the songs on Zooropa?!!
Macphisto_esq
The Fly
Total Nonsense?!
Hmmm, trouble is U2 lyrics seem to all have really rich meanings and metaphors.
Though I think your best bet would be something from Zooropa.- Or 'Discotheque'?
Goodluck.

Discoteque
Rock n' Roll Doggie
is Elvis Presley and America 'post modern' enough? That's sure is one oddball song, even for U2...the one song they'll never do live!

bbllllleeeeeehhhhhh
sorry sorry to spoil all your hormones.
OK getting into the whole postmodern paper and basically what qualifies as being postmodern is stuff that doesn't make any sense. Are there any U2 songs that don't make sense? I so want an excuse to use them.
All I can think of are random Tori Amos songs. Love that girl but the whole tuna rubber blubber in my igloo thing is so beyond me it has to be postmodern.
I want the project to be fun!!! I found some sites that are all "the electronic media helps poetry" so I get to have music and videos yaay But I need examples. *fret* I can write the paper!
But america needs your help PLEBA in finding songs! U2 or otherwise (*sniff* I'm lowering my standards)After this, there will be no more talk of postmodern poetry! I swear!!
I'll give you preeeseeennnttss!

As I understand it, post modernism is all about taking bits from other times / sources / contexts and putting them together in a way that articulates your subjective experience of the world. I think that post-modernism is also about questing for something "new" something that's never been done before, and the very words "post modernism" suggest a cynicsm towards "modernism" which was a movement in which artists were in love with the promise of the future.
Long story short ... I think Zooropa is a great choice.
I could be confusing deconstructivism with post modernism a bit here, but check it out.

OK OK OK
after Wed this will ALL be over!
but first:
"Does it draw upon the forms or language or material objects of popular culture? Does it revel in playful ironey and language experimentation? Does the author inrtude, addressing the reader directly, talking about the work itself, or even appearing as a character in it?....all are telltale signs of postmodernism"
OMG!!! Can I use the playboy mansion?????!!!!!!!!! (song!)
hoo-ah!!!!
everyone nod and say yes. I don't care if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
PS I forgot what was in the Rugby thread, opened it, and fell off my chair. I will be the color of a tomato the rest of the day.

I leave for three days, and WildHonee is a refugee? *sniff* they grow up so fast! Why, I remember when she was but a lowly fly like myself, buzzing around the corridors of Pleba!
P.S.- At sidwell we have something called HOMEWORK!
j/k, obviously you do too, hence this thread. Hmm. I agree with ppl that Zooropa is a good bet (especially the 2nd half). and bluey, that was one impressive discourse!

Mona hun, what class is this for? Cuz I'm sitting here, racking my brain, trying to help a fellow PLEBAian out.
Sigh.
Damn, I have an AA in Liberal Arts and a BA in English Lit., you'd think I would have a clue about post-modernism!
I have to tell ya hon, I went to Yahoo and put Post-Modernism in search and it came up with a site about John Hawkes and it was rather scary and way too over your head.
But then I thought, okay, put in Post-Modernist Music. Guess what it came up with:
lawrence welk, post-modernist
Can you ladies believe it? Lawrence Welk a post-modernist!!!???? LMAO. My great grandmother who spoke nothing but Italian loved to watch that show Saturday night. Polka power!

Mona,
Try this link out: http://enigma.luton.ac.uk/mep08-1/postmodernism.html#examples
It explains what postmodernism is and what modernism is, how it differs. It also talks about how it is found in various venuse (ie: music, TV, architecture). Hope it helps and I will continue to give you hints, if I find any

Okay, I have no life and I have to get to bed so I won't be thoroughly exhasuted for work tomorrow.
But I was a woman with a mission: find some post-modern music for our Mona.
Very hard. I asked Jeeves, the dude was little help. So I went to dogpile.com and that was more helpful.
Here's another link to checkout: http://www.azstarnet.com/~solo/postmod.htm
This simplifies the contrasts between Modernism and Postmodernism. Hopefully it will help.
As far as U2 is concerned, well, I would suggest most songs off Zooropa or Pop.

4. I have Walk On and some other vids (by not so reputible artists heheh) to do a little thing about WHAT the poetic is bc basically postmodern poetry IS the poetic. *eh*
These sites will help me lots and lots. Thank you muchly all!!
1. Good grades = parents like me more

Mona,
Glad to be of assistance to a fellow PLEBAn!
Please let us or at least me know how the project turns out. And in your bibliography, you can cite "my PLEBA soulmate" as one of your sources!
LOL.
Wow, that is soo awesome that I have a soulmate here in PLEBA land! I've always wanted one. You love me, you really love me!
