To understand how audiences themselves make sense of the news, this study uses an innovative, qualitative approach that can reveal latent patterns in the news repertoires people cultivate as well as the factors that drive those preferences. While digital media provide a wealth of data about revealed news preferences – what stories are most widely clicked on, shared, liked, and so forth – they tell us very little about why people make the choices they do, or about how news fits into their lives.
I hope to get an opportunity to see these guys again.This report investigates how members of the public make decisions about what news to engage with as they navigate a high-choice media environment across multiple devices and platforms. I was totally blown away by their performance and stage presence.
They played all of their hits played on KROQ, “Demons” and “Radioactive”, ending their set with of course, “It’s Time.”Ĭoming out one last time, they played “Nothing Left To Say.” At one point during the show, Dan took time to say thank you to the fans for being there for them, also saying that he really loved playing at such a small place because of the great feeling of intimacy. After the intro, they opened up with “Round and Round.” Every song from that point was connected with random drum beats or some sort of guitar sound effects. With the sounds of thunder playing during the intro, the band mates came out only to play all the drums that were on the stage. The lights went out and on the screens behind them were eyes. There were also huge bass drums that Dan played as well.
There were also tree-like props that held lights on every branch, and oval-shaped screens that had images playing during some of the songs. The stage was filled with drums at every musicians’ spot including Dan Reynolds. The House of Blues was completely packed. They finally ended their set list with their KROQ hit “Trojans,” with the lead singer introducing it by saying, “It’s not a song about condoms, although that would be a cool song.”įinally, it was time for the main event. Everyone was singing, dancing and having a great time. It was like listening to the CD on your iPod or iTouch on random mode with a bunch of friends. They played songs from their new album When It Was Now. I think at some point I was having a flashback. The sounds of Nico Vega remind me of something my aunts and uncles would listen to while smoking weed or taking some sort of drug. They put on a pretty cool performance and at one point were sampling themselves, making some beatbox-type noises to humming melodies creating an awesome beat and sound. Nico Vega was the first act to get the night started. Once doors opened at approximately 6:30pm and the ticket hosts and security started checking bags and pockets with their security wands, the fans darted straight up the stairs into the venue. However, location didn’t really matter as no matter where you were in the venue, every spot was a great spot. The Mashow, which was completely sold out, was to support their latest release, Night Visions.įans of all ages were lined up anxiously awaiting the chance to get into the general admission venue, hoping to get a spot right up on the railing to see their favorite bands play up close and personal. It was a beautiful Tuesday evening in Anaheim, CA, home of Disneyland Park, California Adventures, and Downtown Disney where the House of Blues is located and was filled with fans of three bands: opening acts Nico Vega and Atlas Genius, and headliners, Imagine Dragons.
