The New Music School

March 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

If you want to explore more about music and someday be a legit musician, joining amusic school is your top option in  meeting your goal. You see, if you enter such specialized school, you will be exposed to virtually anything you can think of that is related to music, from understanding music theory to mastering your musical instrument of choice to writing songs and performing them live on stage to even dealing with  the business aspect of music. With this “totally packaged” education, you are guaranteed to have a competitive edge against all other musicians that, in their now highly commercialized and trend-based world, come by the minute. Yes, it is one way to separate the men from the boys.

 

What aspiring music students usually do when it comes to this is to find a trusted institution and enroll themselves in. There are many music schools all over the country (in fact, all over the world), and what the students do is to reassess their goals then research about what college can fully provide them with what they need. Different music universities have different programs. As such, it is not that hard for a student to pick his/her choice. Sometimes the battle is won solely by the recall of the university’s name/branding, or, if it involves a more careful scrutiny, by the kind of education it offers.

 

However, there is now a more convenient way of studying music that does not entail lining up the halls of a university just to register yourself in a music program that appeals to you. If you are the kind of person who finds comfort in learning all by yourself, you can now spare yourself the hassle of hobnobbing with the entire school populace just for you to fit in. For your information, the conventional music school, which we associate with a physical building and many, many students of all ages and races peopling it, has now taken a new form. Now, you can study music online!

 

As technology has been an influential force in man’s life, the Internet has become a mighty source of information for practically anything under the sun, music schools included. If you want an easier access to a “music institution,” you can now log on to the Net and search for music teacher websites that offer music courses. There are a lot of options online; all you have to do is find the programs that you like to sign up with. The same principle applies here: you must see to it that the websites are legit and qualified so that your education will still be defined by professionalism and good quality.

 

Also, there are online music lessons providers that cater to the music school format, although they offer private one-on-one tutorials in your home or at their office. You could choose from either option, whichever is more convenient for you. Usually, these kinds of websites have respectably good coverage of music topics. Again, you just have to separate the better from the best ones.

 

So if you want to study music in a modern yet still efficient way, take note of these new alternatives. Maximize your options, maximize your music!

Guns N’ Roses – Could the recent Axl/Duff reunion be the beginning of something bigger?

February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

When it comes to rock and roll reunions, eyebrows inevitably begin to raise. Far too often we’ve seen bands reemerge from the depths of whatever temper tantrums or personal tragedies may have befallen them, and deliver a big dud. Upon the announcement of such reunions comes the child-like anticipation of reliving days of glory, as well as the fear of realizing that those glory days may be just too far out of reach. Nonetheless, reunions still seem to generate a tremendous amount of conversation.

For the longest time, Led Zeppelin was the holy grail of reunions. A chance for baby boomers to once again see the beloved blimp, and an opportunity for those not yet alive or too young the first time around to catch a glimpse of rock n’ roll, when rock still rocked. Admittedly, the first time around, Live Aid 1985, was nothing short of a disappointment. Technical difficulties and zero rehearsal time with the two drummers (Phil Collins, Tony Thompson) brought in to fill the late John Bonham’s shoes made for a dismal performance. Thankfully, things went better in 2007 when, along with Jason Bonham, the remaining members delivered a stellar set, especially considering the three remaining members were hovering around their sixties at that point. Yet, the sad truth is, without John Bonham thundering away behind the kit, it can never really be a true reunion.

Bands like Poison and Kiss have returned to the fold in years past. Poison, its original lineup again intact, have toured in between frontman Bret Michaels’ solo and television obligations. Kiss also had a successful reunion tour during the mid-nineties followed by an album of new material. Sadly, many fans believe Kiss are currently abusing the reunion concept by putting a replacement guitarist and drummer in the classic makeup designs created by Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.

Van Halen is perhaps the best band of their generation to mend fences and give fans what they’ve been dreaming about for ages. That the Van Halen brothers even managed to share the same stage again with David Lee Roth is nothing short of a miracle. That miracle alone is enough for most to call the resulting shows a reunion, but they’re not. Instead of Michael Anthony on stage plucking away at his Jack Daniels bass, swinging from the rafters and singing perfect harmonies, we got…Wolfgang. One could understand why Eddie would want to share a stage with his son, to have a father-son moment that tops all father-son moments, but the bottom line is that’s not Van Halen. Bring Wolfie out for a number or two during the show, but for heavens sake don’t call it a reunion and not invite Michael Anthony to the party. Van Halen is Eddie, David, Alex and Michael. End of story.

Then you have… Guns N’ Roses. A band so volatile and explosive, spewing venom both on and off stage, that no one can be genuinely surprised at their current situation. What happened to Guns N’ Roses is not unusual, especially when one considers the cast of characters that were involved in it’s debut incarnation. Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin’ on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagen on Bass, and Steven Adler keeping time on the drums. It was the perfect amalgam of personalities for such a rock n’ roll undertaking.

When they arrived they were definitely a breath of fresh air in a scene oversaturated with glam bands that were picking out their clothes first and writing music later. Much more in the vein of a classic rock band, such as Zeppelin and Aerosmith, the world did not know what to make of Guns N’ Roses at first. Outside of the Hollywood scene that birthed them they were relatively unknown. Their debut offering, Appetite for Destruction, was in record stores for the better part of a year before it really started to chart. Once it did, it would catapult the band into altitudes the likes of which few bands ever achieve. They followed it up with the “GNR Lies” EP in 1988 and, after just a couple short years in the public eye, were already headed towards their prime. As the saying goes, though, “what goes up must come down,” and when Guns N’ Roses came crashing down, they did it in grand fashion.

What started out in the mid-eighties as a band of five streetwise kids taking the world by storm had, by 1993, morphed into something so bloated and egomaniacal it bore little resemblance to the raw, unbridled Gunners rock fans had grown fond of. The stripped down show that one got to see during the Appetite tour had been done away with by the end of the decade, along with original drummer Steven Adler in favor of The Cult’s skinman Matt Sorum. 1991 not only brought along the simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I and II, but also an entirely new setting with which to showcase the new material. The stage was massive, lighting setup intricate, setlist massively expanded thanks to the influx of new songs, stadiums sold-out, everything you might expect from a band riding the crest of the wave GNR was on at the time. Yet, you also got a pair of backup singers, a horn section, a keyboardist, a tambourine/harmonica player, the one, two and three hour late starts, riots, show stoppages and long rants by Axl, now dressed in a Speedo, usually aimed at whomever had pissed him off that day.

Still, people kept coming. Tickets kept selling. In fact, when one looks at how the music scene was changing in the early nineties, Guns N’ Roses were one of the only bands from the eighties not to feel the carnage brought on by the grunge movement. It’s a testament to how revered the band was by its fans, despite the fact that internal cracks were beginning make their way to the surface. Many fans were willing to overlook the dismissal of Steven Adler, arguably the bands least recognizable member, in return for new material after a three-year wait. It wasn’t really until Izzy abruptly jumped ship mid-tour in 1991, reportedly due to the rapidly changing environment within the Guns camp, that fans began to take notice. After all, Axl and Izzy were childhood friends from Lafayette, Indiana. If they were having a falling out then surely things could not be well on the Guns N’ Roses front, the breadth of which would not come to light until years after the conclusion of the Use Your Illusion Tour. After the release of the Spaghetti Incident, an album of punk covers designed to hold the public over. After Slash quit over lack of progress and creative differences with Axl. After Duff followed Slash out the door shortly thereafter. And after Axl became the sole remaining member of the original band. A band that, had they just held on by the skin of their teeth, could have achieved Zeppelin-like status. They had the songs. They had the talent. They had the attitude down cold. And, much like Zeppelin, when they were on, they were the greatest show on earth.

Activity in the Guns N’ Roses universe grew so cold after the departure of Duff that many figured the band dead. Supposedly, Axl was working with a revolving door of musicians on an album that was already being called Chinese Democracy, however these rumors would constantly be called into question every time the expected release date of the album would be pushed back. There were occasional flare-ups, such as the industrial sounding Oh My God making its way onto the End Of Days soundtrack, or the 2002 tour that saw the band perform a trio of songs at the MTV Video Music Awards. These flare ups, though, always wound up extinguished by the unpredictability and misfortune that had become so synonymous with Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses. They attempted a much-forgotten 2001 tour that put only three shows into orbit before crashing and burning. There was the aforementioned 2002 tour in which the band fulfilled only sixteen of a scheduled thirty-five dates. Then things went dark again until 2006 when the band hit the road once again without an album to tour behind. Yet, still, no Chinese Democracy let alone the prospect of a reunion. Just Axl and a bunch of guys, in all unfortunate honesty, nobody really cares about.

Pounding the reunion nail a little further into the coffin was the formation of Velvet Revolver in 2004. The ex-gunners had always stayed fairly busy in the years since defecting. Izzy had been recording consistently, releasing a string of solid albums on iTunes. Slash had his Snakepit band that released and toured behind a pair of albums as well as a number of collaborations with artists such as Michael Jackson and Alice Cooper. Duff collaborated with Matt Sorum, Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), and John Taylor (Duran Duran) on a project called the Neurotic Outsiders. He also formed his own band, Loaded, that released and toured behind an album (Dark Days) in 2001. It was during a 2002 benefit for the late Randy Castillo, though, that saw Slash and Duff playing on the same stage again, creating the initial spark for what would become Velvet Revolver. Rounded out by Matt Sorum, Dave Kushner, and ex Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver’s initial offering, Contraband, debuted at the top spot on the Billboard 200 and provided Slash and Duff with mainstream success independent of Guns N’ Roses. Velvet Revolver would release their sophomore effort, Libertad, in 2007 before going on hiatus following Weiland’s departure from the group in April 2008.

Finally, in November of 2008, Chinese Democracy found it’s way into the iTunes store and onto Best Buy shelves. To be fair, the album did contain some worthwhile tracks but whether or not it was worth a fifteen year wait depends on how big an Axl fan you are. It certainly was light years away from the Appetite For Destruction sound the band is known for, but growth is inevitable. Just the same, Axl and Slash fans wasted no time in participating in heated online debates over Velvet Revolver and the new Guns N’ Roses material. This perhaps further propelled the animosity that had built up between the former bandmates as a result of comments in the press and sensationalistic journalism, among other things. As far as what material is better it will always be, simply, just a matter of taste.

The irony surrounding all the commotion during the release of Chinese Democracy was the reunion talk, now elevated to an all-time high. It seemed the most unlikely time for everyone to call a halt to the bout and bury the hatchet but when Axl made no immediate plans to tour for the album and then went AWOL following its release, the rumors began to swirl. The most prominent one being that Axl was in secret talks with ex-members to reunite the band. In retrospect, it would seem a little out of character for Axl to do such a thing, but in the world of Guns N’ Roses anything is possible. Yet, at the time, it was enough for GNR fans all over the world to start crossing their fingers. Axl would soon give them a reason to uncross them.
In a rare interview on the band’s website, conducted by longtime Guns N’ Roses biographer Del James, Axl went on to discuss reunion possibilities, or lack thereof. When flat out asked about an “Appetite” era reunion, Axl gave a straightforward, “No,” in response. He did acknowledge the possibility of doing something with Duff in the future, but expressed his misgivings about working with Steven Adler and rejected the notion of working with Slash outright. At one point, Axl referred to his former axe slinger as a, “cancer,” that would be better avoided, even going so far as to suggest Slash should not have ever been in Guns N’ Roses to begin with. With such a strong opinion to the matter, a reunion seemed further away then ever.

Nonetheless, GNR fans couldn’t overlook the fact that Axl had already rekindled his relationship with Izzy at some point over the years. During a handful of shows on the 2006 tour Izzy surprised fans by coming out for a few numbers to spectacular ovation. This is the same Izzy that was hovering around during the early stages of Velvet Revolver, until talks of bringing in a singer scared him off. Certainly, with Izzy on good terms with both camps, there was the possibility of some cross-communication potentially working in favor of a reunion.

Then, when Chinese Democracy failed to perform as expected, and a tour in support of the release still hadn’t been announced, many suggested a reunion was the only appropriate thing to do. In fact, Guns N’ Roses had parted ways with manager Irving Azoff, who Axl claimed was trying to sabotage the new incarnation of the band and force a reunion. If the allegations were true, despite being unethical, could anyone really blame Mr. Azoff? The truth of the matter was Axl had tried the Guns N’ Roses thing on his own, it hadn’t exactly been a barnburner. The rest of the original cast had done their own thing. Velvet Revolver had seen some success, but was now dying a slow death without a vocalist, despite what they were saying. Perhaps, just perhaps, it was time to listen to reason and consider putting the original five back together, or at least the original four plus Matt Sorum, an acceptable alternative to many. But, before anybody had time to listen to any reasoning, the clouds rolled in and the climate in the Guns saga changed… again.

A whole year after the release of Chinese Democracy, a tour was announced that would kick off in Asia beginning in December 2009. Slash, on the other hand, looked to be making good on plans to release the solo album he had mentioned in his book. In March of 2010, Slash’s eponymous album hit shelves and featured not only a slew of guest vocalists but also collaborations with every original Guns N’ Roses alum, the exception being Axl. He subsequently hit the road in April with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge on vocals. Even Duff was keeping his chops up to par as he teamed with Jane’s Addiction to record an album and embark on a tour.

It wasn’t until last month that the prospect of a reunion got it’s first real boost in two years. Duff, by chance encounter, for the first time since 1993, had found his way onto the same stage as Axl at London’s O2 Arena. It seems, while on a business trip, unknowingly booking himself into the same hotel as the Guns entourage put Duff in close enough proximity to Axl to garner an invitation onstage. It was, no doubt, a huge shock for not only the fans in attendance but for the world of rock n’ roll in general. It stands to reason that even the most pessimistic of Guns N’ Roses fans are interpreting this as a step in the right direction. The truth is, as far as we know, Duff and Slash are still band mates in Velvet Revolver, meaning, if this is anything more than a one time exchange, if Axl and Duff have now re-established a dialogue, then it could mean the possibility of something happening in the future. Certainly, not immediately, as currently both Guns N’ Roses and Slash seem to be doing just fine on their own. Guns N’ Roses are touring successfully (despite the late starts and being bottled off stage in Dublin) and Slash has moved from his own headlining tour straight into a supporting role on Ozzy’s Scream tour.

Still, it’s hard to overlook the fact that Guns N’ Roses are up for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame eligibility in 2012. It would be another serious blow to the credibility of that establishment if they were overlooked and not inducted in their introductory year. An even more serious blow would be if the “Appetite” era lineup could not see their way to putting aside their differences for a single day and honor the legacy of a band that has certainly left a lasting mark on, not only rock n’ roll, but music in general. The worst crime imaginable would be for Axl to usher his new band onstage to celebrate an accomplishment they were not even part of. Most would probably rather have the band accept the honor in absentia than be subject to that. A highly unlikely scenario given that the remaining alumni, including Slash, are sure to show. With all the original members on amicable terms save for Axl and Slash, it really comes down to a matter of those two ironing out a large pile of differences. It’s that obstacle that makes the Axl/Duff reunion in London so intriguing, narrowing a couple of unknowns down to just one. Nobody knows what exactly went down to create such a level of animosity and perhaps we never will, but can it actually be THAT bad? So bad that two grown men can’t swallow some pride and leave their egos at the door long enough to give a little something back to the fans and industry that have given them so much? Has time done nothing to heal old wounds? It goes without saying that when 2012 Hall of Fame nominations are handed out the world of rock in roll will adjust its focus on the game’s two major players, Axl and Slash. Until then there is little more the rest of us can do but wait and see. There is no doubt Guns N’ Roses were great in their day, but should 2012 come and go without a reunion celebration, then it’s probably safe to say the sun has set on the band for good…. And that would be sad.

Alternative American Music

January 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment

One of the biggest imports from the U.S. is American music which goes over big time all around the globe and has been that way for most of the last hundred years or so. Jazz was invented in the U.S. and is a distinctly American art form, though it has travelled well all over the planet and has influenced almost every type of music conceivable. Louis Armstrong travelled the globe promoting American music and jazz in particular and it continues to this day with the great alternative American music acts that are dominating worldwide.

Green Day originated in Berkeley, California and over the span of their almost thirty year career they have sold tens of millions of CDs and had multiple international hits. Their brand of purely American music inspired by punk and alternative rock is a unique invention that has been embraced by audiences of all ages. They are truly one of the few bands in history that have crossed over successfully and transcended artificial labels and media imposed boundaries. Their latest album was “21st Century Breakdown” and it was number one on the Billboard charts from the moment it came out and featured the number one hit single “21 Guns”.

Another great band playing American music is also coincidentally from Berkeley, California, the same hometown as Green Day, and this band is the great Counting Crows. Although there popularity has diminished a bit over the years, they have a tremendous international following and can pack them in all over the world. Their first big hit was “Mr. Jones” which was very derivative of the great Van Morrison, but more modern. They went on to score many huge hits including “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Long December”, among others.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have gradually risen in the ranks to become perhaps the number one rock band in the world, if such a thing can be measured. The group is from Los Angeles and they have scored some huge hits with their blend of American music and contemporary modern rock and rap. Songs like “Californication”, “Dani California”, “My Friends”, “Aeroplane”, “Otherside”, “Scar Tissue”, and many, many more have won them fans across many continents. Led by singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea, the group is stronger than ever and every music fan awaits their next big album.

Van Halen has sold millions and millions of albums all over the world, even though they changed singers in mid-stream, substituting the brilliant energy of David Lee Roth for the piercing vocal gymnastics of Sammy Hagar. Whoever the singer is, Van Halen can fill up stadiums wherever they play their rock tinged American music, no matter what country they happen to be in. When they are not playing you can find them relaxing in Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Mexico.

American music, especially American rock music, will never be equaled across the world when it comes to popularity. Foreign bands try to emulate their moves and riffs. Foreign music fans wait in long lines to get their hands on new releases.

I’m proud to announce the first edition of MusicDish Secret Sounds playlist, featuring music and bands you probably haven’t heard of yet! There are no rules though to this playlist – no boundaries on genres, countries, status (signed/unsigned) – the only thing they share in common is that they struck my ear… and that they are sourced from Mi2N.

Want you music to be considered? Go to Mi2N to submit your music release announcement (the newer, the better) or look for our drop box on the homepage. Now on to the music…

Ranging in genres from rock, funk, punk, techno, even to a completely new genre called ‘Beta Music’, MusicDish Secret Sounds Vol. 1 will get any party started and will suit the needs of many people’s particular styles of music. Show your Warface to Your favorite Enemies, so the zoobombs can drop the bombs, while the Sewing Circle rocks to the techno beats of Revolr, Scotty Boy, and Red, and former frontman once again becomes a frontman, while Jelixa makes her very own genre of music.

h6t1_zoobombs2.pngHighway A Go Go – ZOObombs
The ZOObombs with their song “Highway a Go Go” is a classical representation of Punk Rock as the backbone for this bands sound. This band very much could of toured with bands such as the Ramones, Iggy and the Stooges , if only they were alive during that era of music, the ZooBombs would of fit right in. They will be making stops at CMW and SXSW on their tour in support of their new album “La Vie En Jupon.” A very raunchy approach is taken to capture the “moment” or energy of what this band is doing.

Warface_Final.jpgWARFACE – Revolr, Scotty boy and Red
DJ RED, Scotty B, and Revolvr are a true dynamic trio, raising the bar of the electronic music for generations to come. With the beautifully incorporated mix of the famous drill sergeants voice, with a heavy electronic beat that will blow up a girls skirt, evokes a passion of liveliness whenever this track is played. From the dance floor, to speakers from a computer, “I WANNA SEE YOUR WARFACE” does not disappoint!

ers.jpgChemical Marketplace – Evan Russell Saffer
To all former Fixer fans, Evan Russell Saffer’s (former frontman to Fixer) debut solo album Neon Gas chronicles the mind of the everyday maniac. From the opening Iron Maiden’esk introduction of: ” Chemical Mark” Evan proves to fans, even after 2 years of staying out of the spot light that he is definitely still alive and willing to rock his heart out. The captivating lyrics and Evan’s voice puts a word out to all rockers to put their fists in the air. Evan’s Schizo/Rock Opera/Hobo Chic genre of music, appeared in the indie film Chance Encounter by director David Toth, the song was called: “Just One Day”. It is obvious Evan’s career will be taking off again with his national tour for 2011.

your_favorite_enemies_darras_2010.jpgI Just Want You To Know – Your Favorite Enemies
Your Favorite Enemies unleashing their new song ” I Just Want you to Know” capture the pure rock feeling one gets from going to a concert. The bands moral ambition to spread a social connection from their band to its fans, only adds to this songs intensity. Their music video also offers a deeper insight into this songs meaning, with its orange aura of flashing lights behind this driving rock song. Your favorite Enemies upcoming release date for their album is expected in the fall of 2011, and recent fan activity due to the bands willingness to promote free downloads can push this band to the top.

93.jpgLead Role – The Sewing Circle
The Sewing Circle’s new song “Lead Role” is a deep rock/ pop song feel with very joyful fun melodies that will get stuck in your head. With a touch of the style of No Doubt with Gwen Steffani, The Sewing Circle puts a modern twist to make their songs fit today’s demands on music. Wonderful work on the acoustic guitar is clearly established in the first few measures of the song, as well as the drums that push the song to the end. The lead singer draws deep to the audience with poetic lines, that have a polyrhythmic feel to the bass line that only adds to the character of the song.

img src=”http://www.musicdish.com/img/article/2009-11/1Jexlixa_Front__400_x_400_.jpg” alt=”" width=”200″ height=”200″ align=”right”>Are You The One For Me (Extended Mix) – Jelixa
Jelixa is the fresh new female artist out of North Richland Hills, Texas, raising the bar in music releasing a new genre of music called “Beta Music”. Basically this genre is a collaboration of pop, R&B, Techno, hip-hop, funk, etc. Jelixa chooses two or more of these genres and puts then together depending how she is feeling for the song she is singing. For her debut release in March 2011, the song ” Are you the one for me” could give Lady Gaga a run for her money.

Emo Haircuts For Boys

December 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Have you heard of a band called the ‘Rites of Spring’? No? Well, they’re the band most famous for initiating and propagating the ‘Emo’ or Emotional look. They are also believed to be the first Emo band because of lyrics and tunes that revolved around life in general. It was this band that sparked off a link to what would become a chain of other Emo bands. These Emo bands played a big role in influencing people who listened to their music. Fans of these musicians dressed a certain way, behaved a certain way, and most importantly had hairstyles that were unique to them. This was how the Emo look was born. The boys who make up for the patrons of the ‘Emo’ culture mostly wear only black clothes, but do not go all the way to look like fans of Goth music. These boys also sport long and straight hair that’s pulled across the forehead to cover the eyes. Spikes and Mohawks too have a huge following amongst Emo boys. Take the time! Read on to know more on the different Emo haircuts for boys.

Emo Hairstyles For Men

Bangs

Bangs of hair pulled across the forehead and over the eyes are a popular hairstyle amongst Emo boys. Here the hair is either cut short at the sides and the back and styled long in the front or just let loose and made to look shabby all over. The bangs are straightened and sometimes even colored. The hair is usually pulled towards a particular side of the head. Emo hairstyles or haircuts never stress on tying hair. Emo patrons always let their hair grow out without tying or pulling it back over the forehead. Opt for bangs of ‘Emo hair’ if you desire to look youthful and fashionable.

Waves

Another popular Emo haircut for boys incorporates waves of hair that are pulled across the forehead to almost cover the eyes. The waves are not as long as bangs, but are still long enough to be pulled to the sides of the head. The waves are also soft and close to the head. Like most other Emo hairstyles for boys, the hair here is cut short at the back and the sides.

The Mohawk
The Mohawk is one of the most popular Emo haircuts for boys, arguably at least. Here, the hair is cut short at the back and the sides while the centre is spiked. The spikes of a Mohawk begin at the front of the head and end at the back of the head. It’s like a row of spikes that cover the entire head.

The ‘Shabby’ Cut
The ‘shabby cut’ is not really a cut, but simply hair that is grown and styled to look shabby. However, grown out here doesn’t mean hair that are as long as a rock star’s, but simply hair that is grown out to the shoulders. The hair is made to look messy at the back and sides but sleeked and pulled across the forehead in the front. Unlike most other hairstyles, the shabby cut does not advocate a partition. This style was a big rage amongst the punk-rock musicians of the eighties and still is considered fresh and trendy amongst youngsters of today. The shabby Emo look also boasts of being one of the easiest hairstyles to maintain.

Spikes
Emo spikes are just as popular as the shabby, long-haired Emo look. The spikes are just a variation of the Emo look and can be easily pulled off with short hair. The hair is combed up and spiked with the use of hair gels and sprays. There are mainly two variations of spiky hair. One variation has hair that is spiked in its entirety while the other has spikes that are mostly restricted to the front of the head. The sides and back of the head in the second variation are combed down, just like any other Emo hairstyle.

Punk Haircuts For Women

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Pink is not like any usual female pop star and has always been a little different and unique in her own peculiar ways, whether it is the makeup or the hairstyle. She always had her hair colored, all made up in the most extraordinary way. The hairstyle what she chose for herself is called a punk hairstyle. There are many other celebrities who adorn a punk hairstyle, with the likes of Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, and Kelly Osbourne etc. Punk is a complete anti-thesis of fashion and it means societal conformance. Punk is not meant for anyone and is usually for younger women who want a unique and erratic hairstyle and would like to set a style statement of their own. The punk hairstyles are known for the bizarre yet colorful look. It started off as a part of music trends and established a new genre of hairstyles three decades back. The wilder the hairstyle is, the better it looks. The actual reason behind punk hairstyle is letting loose of the chains and to give a more rebellious and shocking look to others. Though it was believed to have met a silent death in the 80′s, the fact is punk never died and it returned with a vengeance after a decade. Explore the following pointers to know about the types of punk haircuts.

Types Of Punk Haircuts
Remember punk is not a very usual kind of a haircut and so do not go for it unless you are quite comfortable with it. Punk hairstyle shouldn’t contradict your personality entirely. It shouldn’t be like choosing a hairstyle at the cost of losing your own style sense. However, if you are ready, go for it, break the rules, and try it out.

Popular Punk Haircuts
There are no cuts specifically called punk. It is the styling of a hairstyle that is called a punk. You can make a punk out of anything from a short cut to a longer one.

Mohawk
Best suited for a night out or for daily adventures, but can kick off a controversy at any office. This is a kind of yardstick of punk hairstyle and its origin is related to the infamous rocker Wendy O’Williams.

How To Get The Look:
This can be done by styling the hair straight up from the middle of the scalp with shaved halves or you can even opt for a different one, which has tall liberty spikes. There are very many variations that you can opt for in a Mohawk hairstyle like deathhawk, dreadhawk, crosshawk, fanned Mohawk etc, to add on the versatility.

Shag
It is a perfect rock hairstyle for any punk girl who wants a variety in punk style. It is very popular with the mainstream punk scene.

How To Get The Look:
For this haircut, you need to have your hair shortened in even lengths all over the head. A razor cut will add a broken edge that is perfect for messy styling. Add some bold striking colors to your shag, which will add on to your punk appeal. To give it an urban air, you can color the bottom half of your cut dark, and bleach out the crown portion.

Skinhead
Sinead O’ Conner was one bold star who let many heads turn when she embraced a skinhead look. Though it stirred quite a controversy, her fans loved her rebellious statement and in no time, a skinhead look became the new punk rock girl image. Today, a tonsured head is the most extreme of all punk cuts.

How To Get The Look:
A completely tonsured head with an option of exotic piercing or tattoos can really make a style statement.

Skater Cut
They are meant for girls who prefer short hairs with a little bit of swing.

How To Get The Look:
For the skater cut, you need to shave the hair on both the sides and let the top hang in a long, asymmetrical fashion. You can make it more girly and colorful by tipping the ends of the hair with a dark or neon hair color. Spiking it or twisting in mini dreads can give it a better look.

Fierce Color
This is a very important element for a punk hair. There aren’t many rules for color and so you can color your hair in any bold color. If you prefer a meaner look, go for a wild green color and try a pink hair if you want a feminine flair.

Enter Music Publishing Presents: The 16th Annual Drummies With Voting Now Open

November 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

San Jose, Calif., — It’s that time of year, yep, Enter Music Publishing’s Annual Drummies Awards/Poll programs is now officially open for voting. Having gained respect from the drum/music industry as the most comprehensive Award/Polling events, drummers, fans and anybody else interested can now cast their votes online until May 1 at www.drummagazine.com/drummies.

Enter Music Publishing, publishers of hip, drum percussion magazines, worldwide and online, expects very strong voting returns as was experienced last year. In 2010, approximately 6500 drummers participated in The Drummies, which comprise 40 categories, from “Best Drummer” to “Most Popular Cymbal.”

“The Drummies is one of the most interesting events that we put on each year,” said Phil Hood, publisher and co-founder of Enter Music Publishing. “And with the success that we had in terms of sheer numbers last year, we expect this year’s Drummies to be just as exciting.”

The Drummies Deal
As reported by the company last year, there are certain rules that govern the Drummies, such as:
1. You can only vote once.
2. Voting is open to anybody – you don’t have to
be a subscriber to the magazine or work in the
industry.
3. You don’t have to vote in all categories.
4. Drummers who have won five or more times in a
single category aren’t eligible to win in
that category again. But they can win another
category.

Specifically in regard to Point 4 (above) are drummers, who have been inducted into the Drummies Hall Of Fame. These include: Travis Barker (punk) Neil Peart (drummer of the year), Questlove (hip-hop), Chad Smith (funk)Josh Freese(studio), Luis Conte (Studio Percussion) Airto (Jazz percussion), Govanni Hidalgo (Latin Percussion, Joey Jordison (Metal), Dave Weckl (Jazz/Fusion), Carter Beauford (Jam Band).

No More Neil – Who will take the throne?

Since Neil Peart is no longer eligible to win “Best Drummer,” it will be quite a surprise to see who fills the slot. The race for “Best Drummer” last year was quite close between Peart and Barker, with Peart prevailing by just a few votes.

“This category, over the last 15 years, has always been the most active” Hood noted. “As we progress through the voting, it will be interesting to see who takes it this year.”

As stated above, all votes must be cast by May 1. The complete results will be published in the July 2011 Issue of DRUM!. And, they will be made public simultaneously online.

Need to Find Raise Your Glass Lyrics by Pink?

October 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Why not raise your glass and listen to “Raise Your Glass” lyrics by Pink?  Pink writes her own music so all of the brassiness you hear and love (or cringe at) usually comes directly from her own mind.  Yes, she did get some help from Max Martin and Shellback (her producers) but there’s no question that the R&B-punk superstar made the song her own when it was time to perform.  This is the song she singled out for her first compilation album, “Greatest Hits… So Far!!!” 

The song was the ten-year anniversary of her career and it earned widespread critical acclaim.  It went straight to the top in the US and followed up “So What” nicely, becoming her second #1 solo hit.  Because of the Raise Your Glass lyrics and So What Pink entered the elite group of female artists who have had the most top 10 hits.  Her website states that the song has already sold nearly 10 million copies. 

What is the song about?  Pink states that Raise Your Glass lyrics celebrate the outcasts of society, that is, the “people who feel left out from the popular crowd.”  She explains her motivation stating, “I wanted to write a song about underdogs.”  The critics took note of her personal and motivational song and called it, according to About.com, “an anthemic celebration of personal uniqueness.”  Similar praise came from Digital Spy, Idolator and BBC Blog, along with other industry sources.

Pink also did a music video for Raise Your Glass and is a bit more pointed in its political commentary than the song.  The video features celebratory images of gay marriage, as well as tolerance in religious, racial and special equality.  The video also features nonhuman animal rights calls to action, with scenes of Pink saving a bull from a matador, and the image of a calf feeding on human milk (a protest of dairy consumption).  Other non-politically charged scenes include skateboarding and high school proms.  The video ends with Pink weeping over her success, commemorating ten years of her career and dedicating her success to her loyal fans.

Why not start your own party courtesy of Pink’s Raise Your Glass lyrics?  This is one of the best party songs of the 2000 era; danceable and with attitude!  Now is the time to party with your fellow outcasts and buck the system.  Enjoy this outrageous and activist-charged song by downloading it online.
