Free Music Downloads Online and Music Products

December 21st, 2008 . by admin

The future of the music business in the digital realm is here and here to stay.  Music sales and more importantly, the view of the major label conglomerates have declined at a rapid pace.  More and more, the former music buying public are turning to free music downloads online to fill their new song appetite.

 

Is the transition to free music downloads a measure of apathy on the part of music fans, or the distaste of the one-hit wonders produced by the major labels?  I opt for the latter as the more appropriate shift to free downloads.  No one is going to buy a whole album for $10 to $20 when there is only one good song on the entire CD.


Moving the doumbek

December 8th, 2008 . by admin

I was cleaning out one of the storage closets at school trying to take inventory of my new position here at the school.  I had just been hired as the new choir director.  The last choir director had been there for thirty years and let’s just say had stuff all over the place.  I was digging through a pile of tambourines.  Moving the egyptian doumbek  around trying to make sense of where to start.  Nothing was coming to mind.  I knew I had my work cut out for me.  Oh, well, I had a few more weeks to get things organized and how I want them.

An Easel for the Student

November 30th, 2008 . by admin

Aspiring painters should not risk all their money buying an expensive Easel. They should instead buy an affordable easel that will not break the bank and be useful for them as they work on their skills. This easel should be sturdy so it will not break if pushed over by accident and should also be made of something that can withstand a lot of painting abuse. After all, young painters always miss their strokes and the easel will end up getting painted on as much as the canvas! An easel with these qualities are about $30-$100 and any aspiring painter can afford something like this with a little saving.

80s Rock Bands - Queensryche

November 12th, 2008 . by admin

There are many 80s rock bands that influenced traditional progressive bands, and Queensryche should be considered among the tops in that genre.  Queensryche set out to establish their own unique sound, and in doing so, set the trends for progressive metal as we know it today. 

 

Their sound is very melodic and the layered guitars set the stage for a wall of sound in appropriate points in many of their signature songs.  They are masters of dynamics, transitioning from quiet and textured notes to a full blown wail at just the right time.  You can hear their influence on just about any prog band today, which at least in many music lovers ears, makes Queensryche a classic band that will be relevant for many generations to come.

It’s Good To Know That Obama Can Make Us Laugh

October 23rd, 2008 . by admin

We expect our political leaders to take life seriously but sometimes we assume that they are so earnest that their lives must be sad and uninteresting. Just occasionally we get a glimse of the natural wit that lurks beneath the surface and in the midst of a hectic political campaign Barak Obama took time out for a charity dinner where he was able to relax and  show us his more light hearted and funny side.

It’s a good thing that we get the chance to see these political people as real people with honest to goodness funny side. It’s good to know that obama can make us laugh. Just so long as they never make a joke about going to war and the generals take it as a serious order.

My son loves to draw. He is constantly drawing pictures and different artwork. He will sit down and draw and color for hours. He is very creative with everything that he is drawing.
