Modern Music Yes, Rap Is Music!

Michael Jackson - Pop music past present and future With all the change in pop music through the years there has been one constant name through 1966- 2010 and beyond. Michael Jackson "The King of Pop" amazingly has survived nearly 5 decades of music. His name has certainly been tainted through the last decade of court trials and tabloid magazines but his imprint on pop music will have an everlasting effect.

Extra Fun for Music Fans in Nashville Attend the Concerts at Nashville Museums and Parks

As I was trying to compile a list of songs for Valentines Day 2011, I realized that whilst we have millions of great love songs out there most of them either appeal to selected sections of society only or actually are break-up, rebound or missing you songs. Finding a song which beautifully expresses love in its entirety and yet not ending up too mushy or predictable was my real challenge. I do hope you like this list and will try to listen to the ones you may not have heard before. As a combination when heard collectively would put you in the just the perfect mood. Valentines Day after all deserves this hard work.

Wow! This will be an absolutely AMAZING way to pay tribute to their beginnings!

In honor of the 20 anniversary of the release of their first album, alternative rock band Pearl Jam is reportedly in talks to stage a two-day musical festival in "the middle of America," and featuring a variety of other acts!

Their manager, Kelly Curtis, reveals that the band will headline both nights, and will take place sometime in late summer, when Cameron Crowe's documentary chronicling their career is expected to drop.

Bassist Jeff Ament explains:

"We've played enough festivals that we know what makes them exciting. We want to give people places to go that aren't necessarily musical — second stages and all that kind of stuff. We're asking our friends if they want to play a couple of shows with us."

So cool! What a nice way to revisit the early '90s, and the music from that time!

We bet a lot of people are going to be VERY excited about this one!

What do U think?? Are U excited for a Pearl Jam anniversary concert??

This is very unfortunate and disappointing.

Despite some very talented individuals receiving well-deserved nominations this year for Academy Awards, ZERO people of color were recognized in any of the major categories - including acting, writing, and directing!

Such a shame!

We sincerely hope that filmmakers keep this in mind during upcoming projects this year, because this should have never happened, and there will be no excuse if it happens again next year.

On Being a Writer

What do New Yorkers know about country music? It does seem incongruous, the image of subway-riding, black-clad cosmopolitans tapping their toes to twanging guitars, banjos and pedal steels, but you'd be surprised how many New Yorkers love their country. Maybe it's the universality of the subject matter - we all have our hearts broken now and then, we all work hard for a paycheck that never seems big enough, and we all love to go out for a beer at the end of the day.

What Is Deathcore Music and Do I Care?

The music industry today is overridden with mediocre artists pumping out cliched, meaningless music that sells records but fails to do what all good music should, at the end of the day, do: touch people's lives and help them connect with each other and their individual realities. I, personally, have had no personal, deeper experience with any of the music I purchased last year. There is, however, an undercurrent to the prevailing winds of the music industry that is proving to be quite promising, a movement that is being spearheaded by people like Sam Phillips.

Beginning Blues Guitar Greatest Blues Guitarists To Listen and Learn From

The blues music became popular in America during the early 1900's. Guitar, piano and harmonica were the basic blues instruments. Blues style had started with mainly the instrumental type of music but later singing also played a key role in most blues songs. This music was mainly originated by the African-American community in the southern United States.

Learning guitar is a long and complex process and there are numerous learning techniques associated with it. Jamming is one of them and it is an important one. Underestimated by many guitar players, jamming is what will teach you to communicate with other musicians using solely the language of music. It develops your creativity and music thought, improves your improvisation skills and complements your overall learning efforts. That's why you should jam whenever you can and with whomever you can.
