Entertainment Arts Music

Of course, even if you are a more knowledgeable classical fan, you can still find what you need online. There are plenty of classical music downloads out there that a lot of my friends take advantage of. This is an especially good way to find the works of new composers. A lot of art music composers are absolutely desperate to find fans nowadays. They are perfectly willing to make their performances available for free in hopes that you will become familiar with their works and want to see them live. They put their classical music online and spread the word as far as they can. The only difficulty is finding out about these artists.

That is where Internet streaming radio comes in. A lot of online Internet Djs make it their business to be extremely knowledgeable about current trends in music and entertainment. They will point you to some of the hottest musicians in whatever genre interests you. A lot of people don’t expect classical music online to be so fertile, but it really is. It seems that nowadays whenever a genre loses popularity in the outside world, it finds refuge on the Internet. Classical music online is no exception. Whether you are into the works of the Romantic period, the high classical composers, or more modern art music, you can find it on the Internet.

My son had never paid too much attention to our music selection. I think he assumed that his parents would not have anything that he would want to listen to. He was very surprised at the number of albums that we still have and that we still have a turntable to play them on. We pulled out a number of Beatles songs that dated back to the early 60’s all the way to the Anthology album. I explained that I had purchased the Anthology Album at the Mall of America when it was first released. They still have a number of new releases on vinyl for the British that come to shop there.

Unquestionably, the word free is a very powerful word and it tends to draw people to it like moths to a flame. I used that analogy because it fits free P2P download sites exactly. While it sounds great to be able download all of your iPhone games and movies for free, there are far too many ways to get burned. Free P2P download sites are notorious for giving users computers malicious viruses, spyware and adware, not to mention the legal issues with sharing copyrighted materials. If after reading this, and you are still intent on playing with fire by going to a free P2P download site for your free iPhone games and free iPhone movies, you had better have some up to date kick butt virus protection. To save yourself from copyright legal issues, make sure you don’t share any of your media files with anyone. Either uncheck the “share files” option or move all of your downloaded iPhone game and movie files to a different folder on your computer. C.Y.A.

Hip Hop is the hottest thing in dance music today. Trust me, there is absolutely no chance you will get the crowd dancing if you leave hip hop out of your dance mix music.

This kind of dance music can help you keep an upbeat vibe to your dance party as well. I have no doubt, if you take your time and choose your dance music wisely, your dance party will rock!

Christmas time has shown us that Christian music can make a wonderful gift, especially around the holidays. I can’t think of any better way to celebrate Christmas, then to give someone a gift of Christian music. Better yet, you should probably give out your gift of Christian songs prior to Christmas. That way they will have time to put it to use for this Christmas and not have to wait an entire year.

Janet launched her new website: JanetJackson.com. The special about her website is that the fans can participate in the contest in creating their own video adaptation of Janet Jackson Feedback video that would go through Janet’s YouTube channel: “Destination Discipline”. You may enter the competion because if your video is in the ten most viewed videos, you are for a treat of a brand new iPod with Janet Jackson’s videos and music.

So, the single “Feedback” is here and the rest of the album “Discipline” is due this month.

Here is what Janet says about her new album “Discipline”:

“I love the dance. I love the mid tempo stuff. I love slow songs and the baby making songs. I still has the element to it. (…) You don’t know how many people come up to me and say – ‘This child was conceived listening to you’”.

Dorothy and her cute doggy Toto do not try to find way home from behind the rainbow any more after an English rock band Pink Floyd gave their own version of Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz, Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.

Now, on the more serious note: Dark Side of the Rainbow aka Dark Side of Oz aka The Wizard of Floyd, is some sort of synchronization between classic MGM movie and Pink Floyd album. One watches the film and listens to music at the same time. Many believe that the movie and the music somehow correspond with each other.

When Apple introduced iPod to the public in October 2001, people aren’t aware that they are actually purchasing an engaging electronic gadget that could change their lives forever. The music industry took a hundred and eighty degrees turn when mp3 players began making high sales. The results? iPod became a household name, a gadget that promotes t
he need for interactive media and an accessory that’s considered a must-have.

Why do people love iPod? Its portability, convenience, manageability, sleek-design and innovative technology offers Apple iPod user an all-in-one package. It’s a mobile handy gadget for music lovers, thus, a state-of-the-art for youths especially. We love downloading songs and videos on our iPods although we must be aware of the consequences of  free downloading iPod music.

In the past, locating the right kind of free music download sites used to be accomplished with great difficulty. Up until fairly recently there were only two kinds of music download sites – free music download sites (the good ones) and fee-based music download sites (the legal ones). The major record companies have long contended that free music download sites have been cutting into their record sales, therefore, they have fought long and hard to keep you from attaining free music downloads online. As a matter of fact, they have attempted to get any unlimited free music downloads site shut down (without much success) anytime they find one of their artists on that music download site. Understandably, they are trying to protect their business interests, by preventing unlimited free music downloads which can cut into their profits.

If you are a true music lover then you love all types of music. You love it while cruising in your car on warm summer nights, or for relaxing background music, when all you want to do is chill for a bit, or for shaking your booty at your favorite slammin’ night club. There are countless types of music from across the globe, but for many years, Pop music has been the world’s most popular form of music. An off-shoot of Rock n’ Roll, Pop music not only sells the most records and albums but Pop music also makes up most of what we listen to on our radio’s by far. Free Pop music downloads as well as fee based Pop music downloads make up the majority of all music downloads on the Internet.

I received emails from both Nicole of the baking sheet and debbie of words to eat by this past week, “tagging” me for the food blogging meme, music to cook to. My first thought was “I don’t listen to a great deal of music…and I don’t know anything about music anymore”, and I passed the task along to S. and his extensive music tastes and knowledge. He diligently answered the questions and then sent his writing along to me.
I sat on that email for a few days, indulging myself in Sugar High Fridays (great job, Clement!) and making dinner for a good friend on Saturday night (recipes to come later). I thought about it more and more and realized that the questions, though slightly foreign to me (why, I don’t know, I did used to work in a record store for crying out loud!), were directed at the food blogger in the house. And, although I have tried to convince S. to start a food blog himself he has yet to do that…and having him answer the questions for me was taking the easy way out.
So I redid them myself. Try not to be disappointed.

The local PBS station wanted to do a special on Missouri so they loaded up the van and headed towards the state. On the first rest stop once they crossed the border they picked up a Missouri tourist guide and started looking at the attractions. They decided a trip to Branson might be just the thing as it was reasonably long drive and they could film quite a bit of the countryside and show how it changes from north to south. They started filming once they got to Kansas City showcasing the parts of big city seen as one drives along 435. When they exited on the south side they carefully documented how the city flows to the suburbs and how the suburbs flow into the country. Starting out was mostly prairie which slowly changed to more forest. The small towns were chronicled also. The further they went the more trees and hills there were and the views became more spectacular. They actually bypassed Branson showing the changing scenery as they drove up into the Ozark mountains. After having all that footage they returned to Branson and highlighted some of the shows and events there. Rather than a documentary I think they actually filmed a commercial for Missouri.

I found a wonderful book for entertainment in South Dakota. Now I’ve never taken any South Dakota vacations but after reading this book I just may have to try one. The book chronicled a jazz musician who was down on his luck and got stranded in Sioux Falls. He had no one to rely on so he had to find employment in the entertainment industry around the city to earn enough to buy a car so he could make it back home. The book talks about all the establishments he went to on his quest. The story was fictional, but the author did his homework and actually visited every entertainment venue he could find in the city. Jazz is not big in Sioux Falls so he only found two places where he could find jazz musicians on a regular basis. He interviewed all of them that he could get to talk and came up with some wonderful behind the scene stories. He also did a wonderful job describing the art that these musicians share with the world. The joints may be seedy, but the booze flows and the crowd enjoys what is described as “some of the best jazz this side of New Orleans.

South Dakota has a yearly Harley Davidson motorcycle event and it adds greatly to central South Dakota tourism. This is like an  opera to the blue collar folks that show up. There are all sorts of concerts and entertainment. Of course a lot of revolves around the cycles, but not all. There are massive amounts of beer consumed along with other not so legal substances. The event has become tamer over the years as the participants have aged but most really have a good time. I have some photographs of one year at the event, the theme that year seemed to be ladies flashing everyone with a camera. It was funny seeing a sixty five year old lady that weighed two hundred pounds lift her blouse and expose her chest. I can imagine her doing that when she was in her thirties but it would seem to me that it would loose it’s appeal thirty years later. I guess they were just reliving memories of their youth. The cycle drag races aren’t as big as they used to be either. I would imagine the fully decked out gold wing lookalikes just don’t have the raw speed and power that the old duck tails had.

Led Zeppelin T-shirts, Rush baseball caps and Bon Jovi jackets. Classic rock merchandise is hot and many of the consumers are young people who had not even been born when these classic groups were enjoying the pinnacle of their success.

Take a look around eBay sometime and check out all the classic rock-related merchandise. This stuff is still selling and is responsible for a very significant share of rock merchandise and memorabilia being sold today.
