JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Recently, pictures of Justin Timberlake shirtless and Jessica Biel in the beach are circulating on the internet. Are these proofs that the singer has finally moved on from a heart-wrenching split with ex-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz?
90's boyband hottie and this generation's RnB prince, Justin Timberlake, has stunned the world when rumors of breakup with long-time girlfriend and superstar, Cameron Diaz sparked tabloids. Speculations about the reasons behind the split hit headlines.
A controversy about Cameron's refusal to marry and settle down with the singer/songwriter is said to be the last thread that led to the separation. However, either party hasn't confirmed or denied any of the rumors. Despite the shaky breakup, the RnB sensation seems to be in good shape and even admitted his relationship with Seventh Heaven former star, Jessica Biel.
From the paparazzi shots of Justin and Jessica, it sure looks like the talented musician has already moved on with a fresh new love. The couple initially stayed quiet about their relationship and avoided the prying eyes of media. However, when stolen shots of them canoodling in a restaurant somewhere in New York came out, Jussica finally came clean and announced that they are indeed going out.
Not long after, Jessica has been rumored to have moved in to Justin's six-bedroom Brentwood crib. This rumor sparked more wedding controversies, but the couple denied any plans of getting hitched. On the other hand, the singer was overheard saying at one benefit concert that his relationship with the sultry actress is bound to go to the next level. He even affirmed that he is really serious with Biel and is close to marrying the actress.
Justin's mother and manager, Lynn Harless, and grandmother, Sadie Bomas, are said to be very supportive of her son's relationship with Biel. They are also encouraging the couple to go on with plans of getting married. According to sources, Justin is already looking for a possible venue for the wedding. Another probable wedding reception would be his grandmother's mansion in Tennessee. However, these speculations were all debunk by the singer.
They have nailed the media's curiosity with their constant denial of any rumor about their engagement. The more the two try to hide from the paparazis, the more the photographers follow their every move.
Although the Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been very private and secretive about any development in their relationship, no words are needed to know that they already have plans of settling down. Justin Timberlake shirtless images with Jessica Biel happily frolicking in the beach are proofs that Jussica is the real deal. The smiles on his face prove that he has indeed gotten serious with Jessica.
A Computer Engineering student and loves to travel. Reading current news in the internet is one of his past times. Taking pictures of the things around him fully satisfies him. He loves to play badminton and his favorite pets are cats.

SHADY RECORDS?
How is it that a little white boy from Kansas City has become the most well known rapper in the world? Starting from nothing and eventually moving up to a multi-millionaire, Eminem over the past seven years has been in the eye of the public everywhere you look. He has essentially entered a black man’s business and gone to the top over the course of a few years, but how?
On October 17, 1972 Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born in St. Joseph, MO by his 15 year old mother Debbie. Six months later his father was gone and this began the struggle for Marshall and his mother; one that was just the beginning. Throughout the course of his childhood Marshall and his mother moved numerous times into different houses from Kansas City to Detroit. The maximum time spent in one house was only 3 months, which caused Marshall to attend many different schools making it difficult to cope to the different surroundings and make friends. Every new school he attended he was bullied as he was the new kid. This was something that he could not change as he was never stationed in one school for a long period of time. At the age of 12 he and his mother finally settled in a house in Detroit. He would later use the bullying to his advantage fueling him to get back at all his bullies through songs.
By the age of 4 Marshall was already beginning to rap and put words together rhyming them. At school he was rather successful considering the circumstances, but it was lunchtime that he enjoyed as he often battled schoolmates through freestyles. At the age of 14 Marshall began to get serious about rapping and felt that he had a shot in the business. When he got to the ninth grade he failed it three times before eventually dropping out as he felt school was not for him.
When he turned 17 he came up with the name M&M for himself by combining the first letters of his first and last name, which later was changed to Eminem. Now that he didn’t have school as a distraction, he focused solely on rapping with the goal of making it to the top. He faced constant struggle on the way to stardom as he was continuously rejected by most rappers because of his race, despite his true talent. This grew anger inside of him that he uses in his music today. Knowing that it wasn’t going to be easy and that he would have to work, Marshall forced himself onto radio shows and freestyle battles to prove everybody wrong. He eventually got a first album titled “Infinite”, but it only sold 1,000 copies. It wasn’t until 1997 that Marshall would make a name for himself.
In 1997 he was married with a child trying to support his family with very little cash to do it with. He went to the Rap Olympics in Los Angeles hoping to win the cash prize of $1,500 for first place, but instead was spotted by a few sponsors from Interscope. Furious that he had come in second, he later found out about the sponsors and he gave them a copy of the “Infinite” tape, which was later sent to Dr. Dre. Dre was extremely impressed with the talent of Eminem and got contact of him, where the two recorded his second album; The Slim Shady LP. This album set the tone for his style of rap, as he lashed out on everyone that had bullied him throughout his life. It was a different style than anyone had ever heard, which brought him to stardom.
Eminem is by far the most popular rapper that is seen most in public. He has been seen in Rap Pages, VIBE, Rolling Stone, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress and continues to strive for more. He became the first white person to ever be on the cover of The Source. Throughout his life he has starred in the movie “8 Mile” based on his life growing up, has had over 20 guest appearances on TV, has featured on numerous different rappers CD’s, and has recorded 5 CD’s of his own. His second LP, “The Marshall Mathers LP”, sold over 8 million records in the United States alone, 1.76 million copies in the first week setting a record for a solo artist. This album became the first rap album ever to be nominated for “Album of the Year” at the Grammies. He would go on to win 3 Grammies for the album that night. In the year 2002 he made $29 million in earnings of his fourth album “The Eminem Show LP” and touring for it. Then on March 23, 2003 the song “Lose Yourself” from his movie “8 Mile” became the first rap song to ever win an Academy Award.
While being known for his explicit behavior and horrendous lyrics on his albums and in the eye of the public, it is difficult to overlook all that he has achieved. Coming from where he did and rising to where he is currently, it is remarkable what he has done not only for himself, but the rap world as well. While it is hard for most to like him, there are not many that do not at least respect him for what he has achieved as of now, and what he may do in the future to come.

RAP MUSIC FROM PAST TO PRESENT
The origin of rap started sometime in the mid 1970's in communities thriving with people of African American and Hispanic descent who were music performers in New York city. During the foundation of rap, this genre of music was associated with a nimble style of dancing that is known today as break dancing. The term rap was derived from a slang word for conversation during the 1960s.
It generally consisted of song, usually spontaneous verses along with a range of well known recordings such as funk or disco music. Critics have condemned most rap music for its endorsement of violence and hatred of women; while others have recognized it as a creative exploitation of cultural expression and acclaim many rappers with an ardent social and political awareness.
Rap music has influenced several forms of popular culture, mainly the film industry, and has been increasingly incorporated in pop music. Some of the early rap groups include Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. Some of the more well-known rap artists include the legendary Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Ice Cube, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Nas, and Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony.
Rap music is a form of musical poetry; the beat has rhythm and the song lyrics flow to it. The lyrics to rap songs give the listener a glimpse to a certain point of view, the lyrics describes the lives of the rapper and usually tells the listener the struggles the young black rapper had to go through in his life. Some rap song lyrics also have a dark side and most people associate rap lyrics with disrespect for women and violence because many rap lyrics talks about killing rival rappers and shooting cops. In the early 1990's the rivalry between west coast rappers and east coast rappers claimed the lives of the two biggest rappers of their era, Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
The positive side of rap music consists of a lot of artistic value, but one has to look for it real hard. Take 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) for example, 2Pac might have had the same kind of sound as most of the so called rappers that are putting out album after album now a days, however, 2Pac was a true poet and lyricist. One could take some (not all) of his lyrics and find art within them. He chose rap to deliver his poetry through his lyrics, because that is what he was most at ease with doing.
To most people, the music is half the song; the song lyrics are just as equally important as the music. In the song lyrics to 2Pac's Dear Mama he talks about how his mother didn't always do the right thing but he still appreciated all the sacrifices that she had to make to raise him. Not all rap lyrics are about putting down women, shooting cops, driving Escalades and making money.
Today's rappers may have catchy rhythms and lyrics to their music and many young people are impressed with the fancy cars and half naked girls in the videos, but it's just all the same, in every song. Most of the songs and lyrics have the same or similar rhythm with semi-carefully placed keyboard melodies and pounding bass that's good for dancing. So maybe it's art in its own realm.

KANYE WEST TICKETS
Hip-hop heavyweight Kanye West has publically shown his support for president-elect Barack Obama ever since the senator from Illinois announced his decision to run for president earlier this year, and West is nothing but floored coming out of Obama’s victorious campaign this week. Paying tribute to the Obama campaign, West wrote the words “Hi Mom, Obama Won!” on his website’s blog, a touching move from the rapper whose mother Donda passed away less than a year ago after complications with surgery.
Other fervent Obama supporters in the hip-hop community include artists Will.i.am, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Stevie Wonder, Will Smith, Q-Tip, John Legend, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Ludacris, Common, Mos Def, Ne-Yo, Nas, Young Jeezy, the Game, Herbie Hancock, Usher and more. Chicago talk show guru Oprah Winfrey has also been a supporting figure in the Obama campaign, and she was in attendance at Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night as Barack Obama made his historic election speech. Brad Pitt was also in the crowd, and several other public figures celebrated Obama’s victory on television programs, websites and interviews as the presidential election concluded. Kanye West’s declaration on his website was one of many, but the shout-out to his late mother was one of the most memorable notes of Obama excitement.
West, a Chicago, Illinois native, has been incredibly involved in the presidential campaign this year, but before he was dominating the music (and now, political) scene, the fresh rapper was blazing through the Midwest with his hip-hop talent and unrelenting perseverance. West first burst on the music scene in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, getting his foot in the door by appearing on Jay-Z’s Blueprint album. West’s 2004 album The College Dropout was the massive success the rapper had been waiting for, and songs like “Jesus Walks” and “Slow Jamz” placed the name Kanye West among the big dogs in the hip-hop industry.
Since 2004, Kanye West has recorded and released several number ones on the Billboard charts ranging from “Gold Digger” and “Good Life” to “Stronger,” also garnering eight Grammy Awards in the wake of his musical peak. The rapper’s confident feel-good anthems have dominated radio waves and television channels for several years now, and he’s been rocking out live performances to everyone with Kanye West tickets just as long. If you haven’t heard West’s live rendition of “Stronger” in concert, head over to http://www.stubhub.com/kanye-west-tickets/ and discover the Kanye West magic for yourself.
Aside from producing some of the most powerful hip-hop music on the scene these days, West has also become a fearless public icon in the media for anything and everything he believes in. The rapper has been tapped on camera saying that George Bush doesn’t care about black people in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, also depicted as Jesus Christ on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and now his strong support for president-elect Barack Obama has earned him some time in the spotlight, as well. West is still busy performing and supporting his new album 808s & Heartbreak, and the rapper hasn’t shown any signs of a slowdown.

BEYONCE

A recent marriage, an album and now a movie on the way for Beyonce, is there anything she can’t do? The pop star’s cover of Etta James’ iconic “At Last” will be the lead song for the upcoming soundtrack for Cadillac Records which will debut Dec. 2 via Columbia. The film chronicles the rise and fall of famed label Chess Records and Beyonce stars as James. Beyonce told Billboard about the experience, saying: “I realized that Etta James was so unapologetic, bold and strong that playing her was a big risk for me. It gave me the confidence and the push to challenge myself a little more with my music.” To see her perform her own songs, try http://www.stubhub.com/beyonce-tickets/ for Beyonce tickets.
The soundtrack also includes tracks from Mos Def (portraying Chuck Berry), Columbus Short (as Little Walter), Jeffrey Wright (as Muddy Waters) and Eamonn Walker (as Howlin’ Wolf). The album, which will be available in both single- and double-disc versions, also boasts songs from Mary Mary, Nas, Buddy Guy, Elvis Presley, Raphael Saadiq and Beyonce’s sister Solange. Cadillac Records makes its big screen debut Dec. 5 and Sony BMG Music Entertainment chairman Andrew Lack, who produced the film with Sony BMG films executive VP Sophia Sondervan says it will show a different side of the pop diva. “People will be most surprised that the glamorous Beyonce allowed herself to be seen in the desperate straits that Etta went through, including her heroin addiction. That’s a Beyonce I don’t think anyone’s seen yet.”
The public was first introduced to Beyonce when she was part of Destiny’s Child, the group formerly known as Girl Tyme that she formed with her cousin Kelly Rowland and school friends LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett in her native Houston. The quartet burst into the R&B/pop mainstream with “No, No, NO,” off their eponymous debut album is 1997 and their breakthrough came two years later with The Writings on the Wall. The album spawned radio mainstays “Jumpin’ Jumpin’,” “Bills Bills Bills,” “Bug a Boo” and “Say My Name,” which earned Destiny’s Child two Grammy awards. Despite the girl group’s fast-paced ascent to stardom, Luckett and Roberson left the group and were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin (who would leave the group within a year).
In 2000 the trio released the girl-powered single “Independent Women Pt. 1” on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack and their subsequent album, 2001’s Survivor, went straight to the top of the charts thanks to “Bootylicious” (yes, the term is actually in the dictionary thanks to Beyonce). Long-since the leading lady of Destiny’s Child, Beyonce dipped into the acting pool with a starring role in the MTV “hip-hopera” Carmen and a spot alongside Mike Myers in the Austin Powers sequel, for which she recorded her first solo song, “Work It Out,” that was included on the soundtrack. “03 Bonnie & Clyde,” another solo single featuring then-rumored beau and now-husband Jay-Z was followed by Beyonce’s solo album debut, 2003’s Dangerously in Love. The album won five Grammys thanks to popular singles like “Baby Boy” and “Crazy in Love” and then Destiny’s Child reunited for their last album. The aptly titled Destiny Fulfilled spawned hits “Soldier” and “Lose My Breath” and all three girls went on to pursue solo work, with Beyonce starring in 2006’s Dreamgirls and releasing her sophomore solo record, B’Day, in 2006. Beyonce is set to release her third solo album in November and singles “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” are already creating buzz. So hurry up and get your Beyonce tickets soon because this talented diva is sure to pack arenas when she hits the road.

The aptly titled Destiny Fulfilled spawned hits “Soldier” and “Lose My Breath” and all three girls went on to pursue solo work, with Beyonce starring in 2006’s Dreamgirls and releasing her sophomore solo record, B’Day, in 2006. Beyonce is set to release her third solo album in November and singles “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” are already creating buzz. So hurry up and get your Beyonce tickets soon because this talented diva is sure to pack arenas when she hits the road.

It’s tough for bands to make it big. But that doesn’t mean yours can’t. Here are six ways you can promote your band, get gigs, and get noticed.Build a website. If you don’t have a website up, you should. It’s a great way to connect with fans, sell merchandise, and publicise your touring schedule. Use word of mouth. Word of mouth can be an effective way to promote your band. Make sure your family, friends and coworkers know every time your band has a gig. Go on tour. Touring is a great way to get noticed, but if you’re a no-name band, it can be difficult to get gigs. So try getting creative. If you develop a tour with a theme that’s quirky and interesting enough, you’ll definitely get media coverage.Get creative with your merchandise. Nobody reads brochures more than once—but people will read your band’s name thousands of times if it’s printed on a handy tool they use every day. Open for others. Get in touch with other local bands that play music in the same genre as yours, and offer to open for them. Make teaser CD’s. These are small CD’s that contain one or two of your songs, printed with a label that features your band’s name and website address. People are much more likely to take these home and listen to them than they are to read a brochure.When you’re a new band just starting out, it can be tough to get noticed. But there are things you can do to get the word out. With these methods, you’re much more likely to be able to build a fan base.About the AuthorG Pearce works for Magellan Duplication a UK company that specializes in CD duplication and replication services.

Yes thats right, Britney Spears is back and on form. Read more below for her latest antics!Britney Spears Goes Teetotal…Now there’s a title we never thought we’d write! This time last year we really didn’t think Britney Spears would ever be able to turn her disastrous life around but time after time she continues to repeatedly surprise us. The other day we spotted her picking up her son Jayden from pre-school and it made us realise just how far the troubled pop star has come.Along with fulfilling her motherly duties we hear that in a desperate bid to regain her former figure Britney has banished booze from her diet. “She has decided to give up drinking alcohol, because not only does it cause weight gain but she wants to be on the ball.” Since ditching alcohol Britney has lost a whopping10lb and can’t wait for the rehearsals for her world tour to begin in January.Still Maybe Possibly Pregnant…Last week we were a little shocked to hear reports that Brit’s little sis had gone and got herself knocked up again. In case you somehow missed the story it was claimed that despite giving birth to Maddie Briann just four months ago, “Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical.”However, before the news had even begun to sink in “an unimpeachable source” stepped up to strongly deny the claims and perhaps it had something to do with the word “unimpeachable” but believed them.But just like every good Spears story that wasn’t to be the end of it. A family member has now been speaking to an American magazine and they’re claiming the pregnancy rumours are most definitely true and the denials “are simply buying the Spears family time until they decide what to do.” Apparently, Lynne went ballistic when she heard and “she’s livid the news leaked out, especially during her book tour.”So who do you believe?? The family member or the peachy source?Britney: “What The Hell Was I Thinking?”Troubled star Britney Spears has spoken about her very public meltdown for the first time in a documentary which will be aired on MTV on November 30th - two days before the release of her new album.The 90-minute film features behind-the-scenes footage of the Womanizer singer talking about her life over the past two years. Surely this will be the televisual event of the year, if not the century?! Take a look at the preview and tell us what you think.Britney’s Going Back To Court…Yesterday we caught up with Britney Spears shopping in West Hollywood like she didn’t have a care in the world, but unfortunately that’s not the case because it’s just been announced that the singer will appear in court next week to face charges of misdemeanour driving without a licence! The charges stem from an incident in 2007 in which the songstress hit a parked car in Los Angeles and left without notifying the owner. She was originally cited for hit-and-run and driving without a licence, but the hit-and-run charges were dropped.A year later and Britney was offered the opportunity of avoiding a messy trial with a plea deal, which would have put her on a one-year probation and required her to pay a $150 fine. But Britney's lawyer has rejected the offer, so we’ll be seeing her in court next week! Is it wrong that we’re oddly excited about that?

THE BEATLES
The Beatles: A Hard Day's Night Album Review
Ask About This Article
23rd October 2008

The Beatles third album, 1964's A Hard Day's Night was a huge step forward for the band's songwriting. Their first two albums included only 8 original songs each (along with 6 covers) and quite a few of those originals were not particularly good. A Hard Day's Night was all originals (no covers) and for the most part these songs were a huge improvement over their previous originals.From the first distinctive chord of "A Hard Day's Night" the album has it's own special feeling. High energy & classic songwriting. This album is filled with brilliant singles like the aforementioned title track that leads off the album & "Can't Buy Me Love" along with gorgeous ballads like "If I Fell" & "And I Love Her."Sure there are a couple of not so great songs on the album. Particularly I have never been a fan of "When I Get Home" which just sounds like a throwaway to me. I'm not a huge fan of "I Should Have Known Better" and "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" either but they both have their charms.One of my very favorite songs on the album is "Things We Said Today" which just has this perfect unique vibe to it. Great acoustic strumming with an irresistible McCartney melody. Perhaps my favorite part of the song is when it goes back into verse on the word "enough." It's those smart little bits of songwriting that make their songs so fresh even 44 years later."I'll Cry Instead" is another one of my favorites. It has sort of a faux country sound to it and I don't normally get into The Beatles faux country songs. But this one and "I've Just Seen a Face" (from Help!) are two notable exceptions. I just love Lennon's singing on this one. It's a great catchy melody and while the lyrics are kind of silly, they somehow just work.The album ends with strongly with "You Can't Do That" & "I'll Be Back." Both are songs that I didn't get into much at first for some reason but that I appreciate quite a bit now.If you are mostly a fan of the later Beatles music, it can sometimes be hard to get into their earlier work. But if you have an open mind and understand the context of the times, I think you can appreciate the brilliant tunes included on A Hard Day's Night.One bit of trivia that you may find interesting is that A Hard Day's Night is the only Beatles album that includes only Lennon/McCartney originals. Why is that? Well, it's because it's their only early album that doesn't include any covers. While many of their later albums are all originals as well, by then George Harrison was contributing at least one song for each album. For example every song on Sgt. Pepper is a Lennon/McCartney original except for Harrison's "Within You Without You."There's no doubt that The Beatles took a huge step forward artistically in 1964 with A Hard Day's Night. Of course we now know that it was only the beginning of many huge steps forward The Beatles would take throughout the 1960s.------Marvin J. Markus is a big fan of Fender Jazz Bass Guitars along with Fender Precision Bass Guitars.

NicklebackAs we are all aware, unless someone is born into wealth, or achieves it somewhere along the road of life, or just plain knows how to cope with life, it can be quite a challenge just to get by these days.It seems like every third person one meets or knows is looking for an easier way to live/survive in this day of inflation, fluctuating gas prices, (some days it's lower/higher than others) and added into the mix is the higher cost of living.And when some persons have a quiet moment, they probably sigh and like the Nickleback song says, they also utter to themselves, "I wanna be a rockstar."For like the lyrics in the hit single suggest, everything seems so easy when you are a celebrity or have celebrity status. If someone is what some persons might refer to as being a nobody, does not have much in the way of wealth and or education (although some people do get by with their skills, talent or job experience) then he/she might have a much more challenging time at achieving the simplest of goals.Or it just seems as if the shops of the world are open and welcoming to those who have "rockstar" status in life.People know who you are, some of whom even feel as if they really know you, and they want to please you. Hence the easy access pass implication.Some people dream for the ideal girl they really want and that’s the reason why many of us wants to be a a “rockstar” as the lyrics says “Girls come easy”. And maybe the persons who have achieved "rockstar" status in life are those who have something important to share, distribute or impart to the rest of the world to make life easier.But if you just want "rockstar" status because you think it will be an easier way to achieve what might not be so easy if you were to minus the "rockstar" image, then maybe, the ones who are the true "rockstars" are the ones who deserve to hold such a title.For nothing that's really worth it in life is going to come that easy anyway. And if it does, one might think it is something that is too good to be true.You have to work at it everyday or as much as you can.

And maybe the persons who have achieved "rockstar" status in life are those who have something important to share, distribute or impart to the rest of the world to make life easier.But if you just want "rockstar" status because you think it will be an easier way to achieve what might not be so easy if you were to minus the "rockstar" image, then maybe, the ones who are the true "rockstars" are the ones who deserve to hold such a title.For nothing that's really worth it in life is going to come that easy anyway. And if it does, one might think it is something that is too good to be true.You have to work at it everyday or as much as you can. And yes, sometimes you even have to work at achieving that "rockstar" image you think is going to get you the "...bathroom that's big enough to hold a baseball field, or the fifteen cars..." All in a world where "...the girls come easy and the drugs come cheap..." "yeah, yeah" everyone wants "to be a rockstar..." everybody wants to have a speed dial….----------------------------About the AuthorMusic to me is the air that I breath and the blood that runs through my veins, Just like Rock music’s. I really want to be a ROCKSTAR

DJ Scratch Records; how to use themIf you want to be an able DJ you should have a mastery over the art of scratching. The proficient DJs produce better sound quality by scratching on the records. So, DJ scratch records play a very important role in the overall performance of the DJs. The quality of the DJ Scratch Records depends on the quality of Scratching. Though, there is no hard and fast rule about the procedure of scratching, but the process involves certain stand skills.Scratching skills:• Try to access, which hand you should use for what purpose. Use one hand to control the movement of the DJ scratch records and the other to move the cross-fader. You will not find a set rule for this; you can also do it in your own way. But majority of the DJs prefer to do it in this procedure. Your style will dictate your quality of scratching. • Never touch the DJ scratch records if your hands are dirty. Always keep your hands clean while you scratch records. Push the center of the record. While you are exerting pressure in the center, you get a better grip to manage the entire thing. You can also hold at the edge if you are not comfortable. • While you are practicing scratching, try to use special DJ scratch records. Though you are free to use any type of records, but using special scratch records at the time of practice, will help you to learn up the scratching technique better and faster. • While you are trying to learn scratching, scratch faster as well as slower. Do not scratch at the same pace. If you try fast as well as slow movement alternately, it will help you to note the changes in the scratch process.• Initially do not use fader. Scratch with your hands only. • First scratch slowly. Then increase the speed gradually. As you are able to scratch at a higher speed, you can experiment with the rhythm of your scratch by combining them with the beats you generate. • If the vinyl centre hole is extraordinarily big, it can result in side-to-side vibration. A very small vinyl centre hole will restrict the free movement of your record. So, tighten and loosen it according to requirement. If the hole is too small enlarge it with the use of sandpaper. And if the hole is too big, reduce it by adding a layer of sticky tape.Franchise Record Pool is committed to provide DJ Scratch Records. Contact us at (347)449-5129.

As music becomes cheaper and often free, all of the studios I know certainly don't get any cheaper. Music is one of those things that you can study for years and still not get so here's my brief guide on how to start recording your own music. I feel this necessary after paying out over the years for professional recording engineers and then finding my own recordings sounding just as good.I've recorded in some very well equipped ect in a good recording is the engineers ear and not the equipment. That's not to say gear isn't important but the best equipment is nothing studios but what I've come to find is that the most important aspwithout an experienced ear. Get yourself a laptop with a microphone input, a microphone and some recording software. I use a program called Reaper which doesn't take long to get the hang of.First, if you're playing the instruments either by your self or with a band you need to practice, a lot. The more precise all the instruments sound the more chance you give your listener of enjoying the music. Make a number of demo recordings and compare the instrument arrangement and noise level with some of your favorite songs. Even if you don't come close to achieving the quality of a professional recording it's good to have a high goal to reach for.Next, keep it simple. Try first of all without drums. Drums are one of the hardest things to record so if you can get a couple of acoustic songs finished first this will help build confidence. If you're recording rock music then you're going to need drums at some point which gets a bit trickier. Try recording vocals and guitar then adding some bass and lead. For vocals you will need to build your self a pop shield to remove hiss using a piece of wire and some tights. Don't believe me, have a look on tube. To get your levels right use your ears. A very sophisticated tool that you can finely tune by practising recording every other day. When you're ready to record drums try recording them with just one microphone to capture everything. This way you can start to get a feel of how the drums should sit in the mix before recording each drum and cymbal noise separately and then amalgamating them together.The last most important thing is to not be daunted by your lack of experience.

How interesting are Hip Hop Records?Hip hop music, also known as the rap music, is a modern form of music. This type of music is available in the hip hop records. Hip hop music does not include lyrical styles. It is made up of two elements, rapping and record scratching. You may call rapping as MCing and DJing. This is also known as audio mixing. If you listen to the hip hop records, you will find that hip hop music is mainly instrumental and based on drum beat, sampling and bassline. • Sampling: Sampling is used in modern type of hip hop. In this type, the producers create original recordings using beats generated from the computer. Sampling is very important in hip hop music. The samples are usually taken from vinyl and are transferred to the samplers or sequencers.• A bassline: This is a core part of hip hop. It is exclusively used for the low-pitched instrument. • A drum beat: The drum beat is another essential element of hip hop production. The quality of the hip hop recording greatly depends on the speed and complexity of the drum beat. Some of the beats are sample beats; others are generated from the drum machines like Alesis SR-16 or Roland TR-808.The TR-808 cowbell is used in the hip hop production, to generate a better sound for the recording.The hip hop music was invented by the African Americans, Latinos and Hispanics. It was invented in the New York City, in the early seventies. The legend of hip-hop music, Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash later started with the scratching and remixing techniques in the hip-hop music. Proficient hip hop musicians now use live instrumentation, sequencers, synthesizers, samplers and turntables. The samplers and sequencers allow the musical beats to be played accurately. Kurtis Blow is the first hip hop artist to use a digital sampler. This has possibly increased the craze of hip hop music to a great extent. Possibly for such a reason, hip-hop records are in great demand.Today, hip hop records are in great demand by people all over the world. The youth of the present generation are crazy for the hip hop records. Despite several controversies there has been a rapid increase in production and sale of the hip hop records over time.

Audio Mastering is an extremely popular and scientific means of transferring and preparing recorded audio from the source to the data storage device, referred as the master. The process is mainly applied in the post production stages and involves high end sound processing techniques. The Audio Mastering process has experienced a series of transformations which started from the 1950s until the advent of digital recording in the late 1970s. During this stage the studio recording was completed in multi-track tapes and the final mix of the source was dubbed and prepared to the master tape in single or mono track form. Before cutting the master disc, the tape underwent electronic treatments which were performed by specialized mastering engineers. As days passed this technique became more popular and during the pop music boom Audio Mastering became a sought after profession. During the 1990s the digital technology came into prominence and largely superseded the different electro- mechanical processes that were practiced before. DAW or Digital Audio Workstation became the new popular technique. The main purpose of DAW is to manipulate the recorded audio via the GUI or Graphical User Interface. It combines various high quality audio hardware and multi track software for Analog-to-Digital conversions or vice versa. In comparison to an ordinary recording studio, an audio Mastering Studio is quite different i.e. it is equipped with more modern amenities. An audio Mastering Studio consists of various equipments like large consoles and monitoring devices that are required by the mastering engineers for various purposes.The main processes by which the source is processed include equalization, compression, limiting and noise reduction. After getting rendered to a CD or DVD format, the source material undergoes track sequencing in the Mastering Studio. In the next level of mastering, tasks such as editing, noise reduction, fading in and out, leveling, signal restoration and pre-gapping are performed. Besides the above processes, the Audio Mastering engineers also perform another important task i.e. the creation of a PMCD or Pre-Mastered Compact Disc. This is one of the important step that is followed in Music Mastering. Here the cohesive material gets transferred to a master disc for mass replication. In general, Music Mastering techniques vary according to the needs. The main steps that are generally followed for Music Mastering are listed below. • First the audio tracks are transferred into the DAW format • The tracks are then sequenced • The audio is then sweetened / processed with analog and digital audio mastering gear and / or dedicated mastering software for maximizing the sound quality• Then the audio is transferred to the final master formatWith the changing times audio mastering via internet, the so-called online mastering, has become extremely popular. This service is a new, simple and hassle free way to work with the mastering facility of your choice. To get a musical production mastered a customer just visits the website of an online audio mastering studio and creates an account on one of the companies’ servers. The user later uploads his audio projects directly into the mastering studio. The online mastering studio then masters the music professionally. Payment is done online and the final delivery of the masters is through download. It is as simple as that!Online-Mastering.com, the web based mastering studio, was one of the first professional mastering facilites that entirely focussed on delivering high-end audio mastering services online.

One of the most celebrated artists in the music industry Celine Dion.She was born in Canada on March 30 1968.Even though she had a big and not that rich family she made it big as due to her managers financial backing she became a French teen idol. In the 1990s she released her first album titled Unison and gained popularity in many different countries around the world.But even before that Dion was very much known around the world by winning very prestigious singing contests in the 1980s.That lead to a deal with a very top company Sony Records. Her manager Rene Angelil had a big hand in contributing to her fame, popularity and success in the 1990s.During these years her English and French albums were renowned around the world, leading to her becoming a worldwide famous celebrity. But unfortunately she stopped singing songs later that year due to personal and family problems. Her husband was diagnosed with a very dangerous and monstrous disease known as cancer. However she made a comeback in 2002 and performed in Las Vegas due to her five year contract signing.Celines music has been influenced by a lot of other genres mainly hip hop, rock and many more. Although some critics term has voice as too over the top but many love and adore her strong voice. In the coming years, she was honored with many top awards and statistics showed that she had sold 175 million albums worldwide, this figure extended to 200 million in the year 2007.She gained the label of being the best singing female celebrity mainly due to her success.Many people despise Dion because of her transition from slow thoughtful songs to fast beat numbers. But this is a fact in the coming years Celine experimented more and more with her voice but in the end the result was announced in Celines favor as she gave numerous hit songs one after the other. She was much compared to different artists and their vocals mainly Mariah Carrey and Whitney Houston. But its not right to say that she did not face criticism, she did. But in spite of all this she has maintained her popularity throughout. Many still remember her for her beautiful song in the film Titanic that really launched her career and instilled love for her in the heart of her millions of fans. That song also contributed to the popularity of the record breaking movie.Many still believe that up to the current years she hasn’t been giving out different and varied songs and she has been repeating the kind of songs she has done before. But if one checks her fan base she is still known around the world and people still listen to her amazing songs that move ones soul and force one to sing along. She has done fairly well in the international charts and has given hit songs. But her popularity has been decreasing gradually as new and more young artists have taken the limelight away from her. But still keeping in mind her past record she is still remembered and is will always be remembered as a great and varied singer who made it big and never looked back.More information about Celine Dion Tickets

Her manager Rene Angelil had a big hand in contributing to her fame, popularity and success in the 1990s.During these years her English and French albums were renowned around the world, leading to her becoming a worldwide famous celebrity. But unfortunately she stopped singing songs later that year due to personal and family problems. Her husband was diagnosed with a very dangerous and monstrous disease known as cancer. However she made a comeback in 2002 and performed in Las Vegas due to her five year contract signing.Celines music has been influenced by a lot of other genres mainly hip hop, rock and many more. Although some critics term has voice as too over the top but many love and adore her strong voice. In the coming years, she was honored with many top awards and statistics showed that she had sold 175 million albums worldwide, this figure extended to 200 million in the year 2007.She gained the label of being the best singing female celebrity mainly due to her success.Many people despise Dion because of her transition from slow thoughtful songs to fast beat numbers. But this is a fact in the coming years Celine experimented more and more with her voice but in the end the result was announced in Celines favor as she gave numerous hit songs one after the other. She was much compared to different artists and their vocals mainly Mariah Carrey and Whitney Houston. But its not right to say that she did not face criticism, she did. But in spite of all this she has maintained her popularity throughout. Many still remember her for her beautiful song in the film Titanic that really launched her career and instilled love for her in the heart of her millions of fans. That song also contributed to the popularity of the record breaking movie.Many still believe that up to the current years she hasn’t been giving out different and varied songs and she has been repeating the kind of songs she has done before. But if one checks her fan base she is still known around the world and people still listen to her amazing songs that move ones soul and force one to sing along. She has done fairly well in the international charts and has given hit songs. But her popularity has been decreasing gradually as new and more young artists have taken the limelight away from her. But still keeping in mind her past record she is still remembered and is will always be remembered as a great and varied singer who made it big and never looked back.More information about Celine Dion Tickets

Drum sets are indispensable additions to any band. Every music band typically needs at least three members; a drummer, a bass player, and a guitarist. Especially rock and pop bands need drummers to keep the beat going while the vocalist belts out the words. In popular culture, drums signify energy and liveliness, and are known to have a positive effect on the player’s personal attitude in the long run. Drums are of two types, such as, acoustic drums, and electronic drums
. Acoustic drums are, as the name suggests, full manual. These have to be manually tuned prior to playing and depend on the drummer’s skill to create good music. Electronic drums, on the other hand, have amplifiers, speakers, or even auto-tuning mechanisms attached to them. This makes tuning these drums significantly easier than the acoustic ones. There are some pros and cons of both acoustic and electronic drums. Acoustic drums allow a seasoned drummer to literally play around (pun intended) with his kit. The drummer can add overtones, remove overtones, muffle sound, magnify sound; all with the correct turn of some screws. These do not depend on any additional instruments, except maybe a microphone put in front of them at times. But an electronic drum set will depend on amplifiers, speakers or even additional electronic beat changers to produce the right kind of music. This makes carrying them around quite cumbersome. Acoustic drums are full manual instruments, and thus require a lot of time and patience to master. The characteristic “crack” that drummers love to create cannot be produced unless the sweet spot is struck, which is located in a different spot for each drum. Locating it may take hours of strenuous practice. In an electronic drum set, the beats are electronically produced, so the “crack” can be produced at will. However, most veteran drummers insist that the electronic “crack” does not come anywhere close to its manual variant in terms of quality. Electronic drums can act as an easy way out for budding drummers who do not wish to stay glued to the kit for hours at a stretch. But, in order to fully master the art, one needs to practice with acoustic drums. Not only do these improve the player’s understanding of music, these also prepare their ears so that they can easily recognize one wrong tone among many correct ones. This helps them perfect their skills in the long run. Drum sets are great instruments to have around. But, in order to master them, a budding drummer must endure hours of strenuous practice. • At World Music Supply, we offer wide variety of percussion products and accessories including Ludwig & Mapex beginner drum set, snare, cymbals & percussion effects at reasonable rates.

Learning to play the piano without years of expensive lessons
used to be impossible. Traditional piano lessons use educational techniques developed over two hundred years ago, when modern formal secular mass education started. For its intended purpose - to teach children reading, writing, arithmetics and prepare them for higher education - formal education works well. More than two hundred years old now, the teaching techniques and curriculum of modern education has advanced greatly. But its core problem remains - it is designed to the lowest common denominator of both teacher and student.In other words, it equips the least capable teachers so that they can do their jobs of teaching the majority of students. Formal education teaches students broad-based academic knowledge, and is not designed to quickly teach narrow specific skills. Traditional piano training
teaches you a lot of theory, making the assumption that you want to climb all the way to the top of the academic hill. This is not the case for many of us. We do not want to become good enough to get a certificate and qualify to teach other students. We only want to learn enough to play the piano. We do not want to write our own music. We do not need to know why Mozart's Piano Concerto No 21 "Elvira Madigan" is good, we only care that it sounds good and we want to be able to play it. For such a narrow purpose, the accelerated learning technologies developed during the Cold War is ideal.These speed learning techniques were originally used to train spies and diplomats how to speak new languages quickly. They minimized theory and focused on practical skills. Educators and scientists like Dr Lozanov discovered that people learn best when they are in a special mental state called alpha. One of the core aspects of speed learning is to help students quickly achieve this special state of mind so that they can absorb information and skills efficiently. While traditional speed learning also aims to teach students how to achieve alpha on their own, the best online piano course uses modern technology to quickly switch students into alpha from their normal mental state.Of course, modern speed learning doesn't just rely on pushing you into the alpha state of mind. They also make use of interactivity, immersion and multimedia.The reason why children learn to speak their native language so quickly and easily is because they are always exposed to the speech of their parents. They retain the vocabulary that they have learned because they get to use it with the people around them - this is called interactivity. The best online piano courses uses multimedia video to engage more of your senses and help to immerse you into the world of music. This is unlike traditional piano training which relies on textual references.The best online piano courses also includes mini computer games and quizzes to help you retain what you have learned. These games also help you to develop the timing needed to play the piano well. There are also games to help you learn how to play by ear. Just as important, these games make learning the piano fun.Scientific studies have shown that most people can't concentrate more than 40 minutes. In our modern Information Age, we are overwhelmed by information and few of us have an attention span beyond 20 minutes. The best online piano course caters to this as well, using many mini-lessons from 10 to 30 minutes, instead of the more traditional one hour to two hours.Unlike traditional teaching, the best online piano course makes learning the piano quick, fun and easy.Do you want to learn the piano quickly and easily?
