It was Mackaye’s infamous dogged dedication to D.I.Y. home-grown music that did it; over a number of albums he produced on his own label, Dischord—including early greats 13 Songs, Red Medicine, In On The Kill Taker Continue reading ‘Fugazi: Instrument (Video / CD / DVD)’
Sade’s newest album “Soldier of Love” is the artist’s first release in ten years since her acclaimed “Lover’s Rock” album of 2000. Released by Sony, Sade’s unique style has not changed over the years, and life-long fans of the artist will surely be pleased. Perhaps this was her goal, for this album will likely not create any new followings. Her sound remains the same, with few changes to her categorical sound.
The main fault in “Soldier of Love” is the Continue reading ‘Album Review: Sade- Soldier of Love’
In 1992, Henryk Gorecki’s Third Symphony was released in remembrance of those whose lives were lost in the holocaust. The sheer size of its success could never have been anticipated.
Gorecki had actually written the symphony fifteen years earlier, but it had gone largely unnoticed. In fact, most of his work had been overlooked by everyone except a few devout followers. But with his Third Symphony (entitled; ‘Symphony of Sorrowful Songs’), he managed to connect with an enormous amount of Continue reading ‘Classic Albums - Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs.’
If I were going name a singer/songwriter from the last forty-odd years who had truly helped to change the face of modern music then David Bowie would have to be one of my first choices. He has done so many songs in so many styles; he has set trends and broken down boundaries. Rather than trying to think of what genres he has worked in it would be far easier to try and list the ones that he has not Continue reading ‘Classic Albums - Diamond Dogs.’
When you think about movie soundtracks, it is not going to be very long before you come up with the name of Ennio Morricone.
His prolific career has seen him compose the music for around two-hundred films and many television dramatisations. In the world of movie soundtracks there are not many people who have this amount of work in their portfolio…
Morricone is still best known for his first big break; the trilogy of spaghetti westerns by Sergio Leone. Just Continue reading ‘The Genius of Ennio Morricone.’
The late 1980s brought about the Dance music scene along with several sub-categories. Suddenly the dance beat could be heard everywhere you went and even artists in other genres were caught up in its commercial possibilities.
It seemed, for a while, that everyone was being affected/infected by its sound. Even bands like The Cure got caught up with it and caused them to release ‘remixes’ of old songs on a rather naff collection called; ‘Mixed Up’ If an artist had Continue reading ‘How Dance Music Grew Up.’
Have you ever wondered what sort of sound you would get if you crossed ‘The Eagles’ with a Death Metal Band? No, I can’t say that it is something that has been on my mind either… until now.
This blog has links to several videos by ‘The Eagles of Death Metal’. They are a decent little rock band and they have some really catchy tunes.
Apparently, the singer has got quite a reputation for encouraging the audience to get involved Continue reading ‘The Eagles Have Landed.’
Many people misunderstand the proper usage of keywords. Yes, keywords are a powerful way to optimize your site for indexing in search engines. However, if done the wrong way, you might just get yourself banned from the search engines instead.
When adding keywords to your content, you want to be sure not to have a keyword density of more than 2 or 2 1/2 percent because this in the eyes of search engines is considered spamming. Also, keep your Continue reading ‘Keyword Stuffing - A Great Way To Get Banned’
Why do people exfoliate? Usually it is to remove certain skin blemishes such as acne, sagging skin, blackheads, eczema and other unwanted skin problems. The goal of exfoliating your skin is to loosen dead skin cells and remove them so new fresh and undamaged cells can replace them. If dead cells are allowed to remain they can collect in the lining of your skin pores which will dull the skin and cause inflammation. Knowing this, the next question is how Continue reading ‘Exfoliate How To’
Cats are one of the most independent animals around. Unlike a dog, which needs to be walked and groomed, a cat can pretty much handle things for itself. For instance, with a dog, they need constant attention or else they mope around in a state of depression. You have to play ball with them, toss a stick to them or take them for walks to keep them entertained. A cat, however, does not need this constant attention and actually dislikes Continue reading ‘The Independence Of A Cat’
