The call him OG “original Gangster”, he is a glamorous person and he was the essence of cool. He invented pop music and he was the founder of it.

DJing from your own computer

We all have our hobbies and passions but what I believe is that most thing people have in common is the love for music although the passion for the type of music may be different and the passion for music it self may be different too but Djing is another story it was meant to be for everybody but thanks to technology the expensive specialized equipment’s for DJing which made it hard for everybody to try and play with music and enjoying mixing up what they like became much easier to handle we can either use turning table to mix the music we have just like old school or we can use our PC or Mac and load it with an application that simulates the turning tables the DJS used just like Virtual DJ for example or we can use actual turning tables that u can connect to ur PC or Mac and use it to mix your own music library and play the music you have even from your Itunes Look below for the Videos if you are interested to know more about DJing from your computer

OST (Original Sound Track)

Before 1920s, most of films with no synchronized recorded sound, especially with no spoken dialogue. In 1927, the first feature-length motion picture with synchronized dialogue sequences "The Jazz Singer" released, it made a new history of sound film. A sound film is a motion picture with sunchronized sound, or sound technologically coupled to image, as opposed to a silent film. At the beginning a projected sound-film system know as Cinemacrophonograph or Phonorama, based primarily on the work of Swiss-born inventor François Dussaud, was exhibited in Paris; similar to the Kinetophone, the system required individual use of earphones. However with rapid development of technology, film making with sound is getting better and easier. We call the music of the film as O.S.T (Original Soudtrack). A soundtrack can be recorded music accompanying and synchronized to the images of a motion picture, book, TV program or video game; a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film or TV show; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronized recorded sound. There are five types of soundtrack recordings. The first is musical film soundtracks which concentrate primarily on the songs such as "Singin' in the Rain". The second is film scores which showcase the background music from non-musicals for example "Star Wars". The third is albums of pop songs heard in whole or part in the background of non-musicals such as "When Harry Met Sally". The fourth is video game soundtracks are often released after a game's release, usually consisting of the background music from the game's levels, menus, title screens, promo material,cut-screens and occasionally sound-effects used in the game. The last one is albums which contain both music and dialogue from the film, such as" The Sound of Music".

The Script

It is my pleasure to write about my favourite band at the moment - The Script.

In case you don't know about the band, you are missing out on such an awesome band.

Okay, so The Script is an Irish rock band from Dublin, Ireland, which was formed 2001, Danny O'Donoghue (The lead vocalist) and Mark Sheehan (The lead guitarist). They knew each other since childhood. Later, they recruited Glen Power as drummer. Enough of intro.

They produced 3 amazing studio albums so far -
1) The Script
2) Science & Faith
3) #3

The thing I like about them is that their Genre is so different, it sounds so good to the ears. Their influences include U2, Coldplay, The Police, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Van Morrison - which makes it even better. Among my huge list of favourite songs of The Script, the most favourite ones are - Hall of Fame, Six Degrees of Separation, If You Could See Me Now, Breakeven, Man Who Cant Be Moved, and Nothing.

Fun Fact: In case you didnt know, Danny O'Donoghue was one of the judges of the reality talent show - The Voice (United Kingdom). Oh, this guy is extremely talent. I bet everyone would fall in love with his voice.

The Script is like the biggest rock band right now in my opinion. I believe they are the biggest Irish band after U2. They have been so successful during the years, winning awards like World Music Award for Best Irish Selling Act (2008), The Brit Award in 2011 and and 2013 and the Meteor Irish Music Awards in 2009 and 2010.

If you have not listened to them yet, please do, they are amazing.

Concert$$$ to make ca$$h

 These days we see many artists working together or even going solo to perform around the world touring to fans. This is really important to artists because they can earn lots of money by doing this. Most of the artists income can be minimized because of factors such as illegal downloading where artists are losing money. By going to different cities and countries and performing to different audiences of up to thousands of people a day they can earn a great deal of money.  It is also important that artists create a big fan base so that these shows can sell out. In 2012 One Direction a boy band from Britain had made the news after selling its Australian show in less than 5 minutes. It is important that artists tap into this area because it creates more opportunities for them.

records..cds...downloading..

Back in the day if you could recall, music was only shared and experienced through those who had a physical copy of a track either in form of a cd or a vinyl record. This was a precious commodity back in the day, and it was purely how artists make most income. In the present day we see how this has transformed greatly and how people are accessing music in almost under a minute online and having there own copy in in almost each portable device they own. This has hit hard on the music artists because the amounts of records sold are diminishing. However they raise this reduction in money having concerts. Not only is downloading failing the artists but it is also is illegal.  People should not be accessing information like this because it is throwing away someone’s career. Especially when its worked for.

Japanese rock – Nano PT3

Nano’s most recent album and what I reckon is her 2nd album, is called N! With 13 songs in total and 8 of them being original and self composed songs this is her best album yet. This time all the songs are sung in English mixed with abit of Japanese, this time around I found that all her songs were quite strong in terms of the emotions each song emitted.

However the song I believe to stand out the most in this album and most definitely worth a listen is Neophobia, it was what I would say a great representation of Japanese rock music with the instrumentals that were used mixed with amazing vocals. The lyrics itself wasn’t bad at all, it talked about an individuals daily life in isolation, and what mistakes they have made to make themself isolated from the rest of humanity. This song is also used by a Japanese horror channel, called Den of Horror.
