Those ‘Fail’ blogs are a work of brilliance that everyone can buy into because - let’s face it - everyone’s seen stupid stuff that they can take a picture of - like a misspelling or a paticularly stupid pet or family member (or both!).

So now that I’ve familiarized you with Fail blogs, hows about creating them in the real world?

The Echo- German Music Award in Berlin 2009

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

On 21st February 2009 the German music award, the Echo, will take place at O2 World in Berlin for the 18th time. Since 1992 the award has been given for 24 categories every year.
As usual, this year there will be a lot of national and international celebrities from the music industry. U2 are going to present their new song “Get on your boots” live! Not only on stage but also in the audience there will be loads of famous people who have been nominated for the “famous” award. One of those will be Lenny Kravitz and Jack Johnson who are both nominated for the “Best international male rock artist”. Or Madonna and Amy Winehouse who are competing for the award in the category “Best international female pop artist”. Now we have to wait to see which of them will finally take the prestigious award home.
The actress and singer Barbara Schöneberger as well as the comedian and presenter Oliver Pocher will present Echo this year.
The German Phono academy organises the show every year and the winner of the Echo is based on the music charts. The best national live act is voted online so everyone can participate. A special panel of judges decides who gets the awards for the life’s work and the special price.

This echo award is for artists representing rock/pop and folk music but every year in autumn there is the classic Echo which is for classic artists only. Since 2001 the Pop- Echo takes place in Berlin every year but the location for the Classic-Echo changes every year.
Tickets are available starting from 49 Euros (standing). Have a look on the official homepage echopop.de to see where you can buy the tickets. There you can also find more nominees in other categories.

If you want to see the Echo and all the celebrities live you should have a look for tickets soon since a lot of people want to see the event. You should also have a look for an Unterkunft Berlin soon. If you are looking for a Hotel Berlin you should hurry up since they are booked out quickly in Berlin. Do not forget that Berlin is a famous destination for tourists! You could also have a look for a Ferienwohnung in Berlin which might be an even cheaper alternative to a hotel. An apartment is also bigger than a hotel room so you and your travel partners have much more space!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

What is the deal with American Idol’s 2009 elimination rules? Now they are only letting the top female, top male and next highest vote getter advance to the next round. This seems a bit extreme. I mean why put so many people through the rounds if the show is going going to cut the all so quickly.

Letterman Phoenix

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

And then last night Phoenix went on Letterman. Its a great straight performance by Joaquin, but an even better one by David Letterman. In my opinion, its Letterman that really did a great job with this. And there is a big reason why JQ didn’t go on Jay Leno–Leno just wouldn’t be able to play this scene as well as Letterman. Leno may have overtaken Letterman in ratings, but Leno’s humor is more about dirty and silly jokes, where Lettermanrelies more on dry humor than stale comedic devices of Leno’s giggle standards.

Joaquin Phoenix Rap

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

If you haven’t been following Mr. Phoenix’s career moves like I have,well he is putting on a ruse of Andy Kaufman proportions by reportedly quitting acting (last fall Defamer article) and starting a music hip hop career full time. His brother in law Casey Affleck is filming a documentary on the whole thing but according to Gig Wise the whole thing is an elaborate hoax.

I’ve been following Mr. Phoenix’s Andy Kaufman esque hoax closely to decide whether its a hit or miss. I’m not a huge fan of this type of humor, but its refreshing in America’s culture. The LA Times has a write up about his last film “Two Lovers” mixed press. of the off screen theatrics of two of its main stars: Gwyneth Paltrow’s solipsistic self help website Goop and Phoenix’s aforementioned new music career.

Dancing With The Stars 2009 Cast

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Dancing with the Stars announced its 2009 cast throughout Sunday night instead of announcing it on “Good Morning America.” The cast includes an interesting list of celebrity entertainers. The strategic announcement is an attempt by ABC to thwart the Grammys on CBS, though I’ll be surprised if it takes away any sizeable audience from the Grammys.

Grammy Award Winners 2009

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

From Lil Wayne to Coldplay, this year’s Grammy award winners are powerful players in the music industry. Last year’s big winner Amy Winehouse was nowhere to be found on the nominations list and seems to have taken a step out of the music scene. Kanye West a.k.a “Mr. Grammy”, never disappoints and always takes home at least one or two trophies every year.

Children Songs

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

You can listen to the radio all that you want, but you are not going to find much that is interesting, or even appropriate, for your children under the age of eight or so. Though they may love the beat of the music, and dance around to it, they really don’t understand it, and they aren’t getting anything from it. When it comes to kids, if you want to reach them, you have to speak their language. The music should be complicated and beautiful, but the theme of the children songs can be, and should be, something rather simple.So, if you want to learn more about Children Songs just read my article.

70’s Music Artists

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Following the musical revolution in the 1960s, the next decade absorbed different influences and produced a mixture of genres. 70’s music artists represented many different styles. There was something for everyone, with disco, soft rock, progressive rock, punk and new wave, and more. There were many radio friendly artists that got a lot of airplay. The brother / sister duo, The Carpenters appealed to moms and dads, and their kids. Karen Carpenter’s voice was one of the best in pop. Country rock, as it was known, was a popular fusion and The Eagles had the most commercial success with their laid back vocals. In contrast, Heavy Metal was alive and well, particularly in the UK. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Judas Priest were exciting to watch live and commanded a huge following.
