Sound Orders - Rock and Pop in a Social Context

From the standpoint of interpretive sociology, as well as from the simple standpoint of a music fan, my blog will focus on music (mostly pop, rock, and experimental) and on other related aspects, including musicians, fans, musical events, and on music's place in the world. It will explore and celebrate originality, creativity, and other artistic virtues and will observe musical and cultural trends, patterns, and developments.

Possibly the funniest scene from the film Slacker

I love the movie Slacker, and think that it captures the zeitgeit of 90s alt culture in a way like no other film. Those who have seen it will likely recall this hilarious scene; those who haven't seen this film should add it to the top of their Netflix queue.



This scene is also priceless.

About Me

Tom Conroy
I received a B.A. in sociology and urban studies from St. Peter's College, in M.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a PhD from Boston University, where I specialized in the sociology of knowledge, social constructionism, and social problems theory. My dissertation, a theoretical study of the foundations of the social constructionist perspective was titled "The Creation and Transformation of Social Problems: Social Constructionism and Social Problems Theory." I am a lecturer at Lehman College – CUNY, where I teach methods, political sociology, sociology of culture, and social problems. My academic areas of interest include social constructionism, culture, politics, and micro sociological theories. I am currently researching punk rock, hip-hop, arts communities, countercultures, and connections between marxism and ethnomethodology. My wife, Jolie, and I make our home in Beacon, NY in the Hudson Valley.
