Pet Sound
"But let’s talk about it." He pulled the familiar green and black cardboard out of the glove compartment and stuffed the white cassette in the deck. I couldn’t help tsking, “Can’t we put on some real rock & roll?” as the perfectly blended male voices filled the station wagon.

The Memes Of Ruby And The Mystery Cats
I have only met Caroline Wilkinson once, she was performing at the Cluny 2 playing an Iggy Pop song but she is also Ruby of Ruby and the Mystery Cats, a red hot rockabilly rock and roll combo vaguely located around Tyneside.

It's still falling down...
Thank you for the track All Falls Down. A long time ago, when life was simpler, this was simply a song with a funky beat and great lyrics that had a great vibe to it. Those were my adolescent days with my juvenile problems that felt like true cataclysmic catastrophes. Those would pale in comparison to the things that stress me today. This song speaks volumes about the trials and tribulations one will encounter on the road to glory. I’m sure we all know how the song goes, but take into consideration the separate phases the song goes through in just a matter of minutes. Now I’m writing solely based on my own experiences and interpretations of the song. I’ve second-guessed both of my degrees from the moment I got them because it’s so hard to find passion in a field with little to no grey area. “That major that she majored in don’t make no money.” Story of my life. Because the money to be made entails becoming a person I’m not equipped to be. Selling yourself for a dollar is the theme. I thought I could find security in a field that wouldn’t deviate so far from the rules and that hasn’t been the case. The song itself reminds me that things will continue to go wrong as long as you keep focusing on all the wrongs around you. It takes a strong mind to be able to see the positives around you whenever everything seems darkest. The song will transcend time and generations because the problems depicted in the song have continued to plague our society. Many will criticize a person that decides to overlook their shortcomings for the pursuit of happiness. But those same people will also advise you to do what makes you happy. The contradiction lies in the fact that advice can only seem sound when that person is happy with their situation. The struggles we encounter will always be in abundance. It helps define us because the person that rises from being knocked down is never the same person that went down. You rise a little tougher, a little wiser, a lot more determined.

This Heartthrob Millennial Is Bringing Back the Rock & Roll Teen Idol Craze
Chris Ruggiero was 18 when he received a phone call from Doo Wop radio host TJ Lubinsky, inviting him to perform on the televised special Lubinsky was producing for PBS. Ruggiero says he was excited to perform the show, but admits that he had no idea it would be a pivotal career-changing moment, until he arrived on set.

The catman part II
When Kiss sat down to record their first album, things went on smoothly for Peter, Gene, Ace and Paul. I heard on an interview that the recording session was a piece of cake. They had been playing the same 10 songs for nearly a year. All they did was some voice overdubs, a couple of layered guitars and the record was done.

The Catman
Besides being the driving force behind the rhythm section of the band Kiss, he came up with the concept of the Catman that the band still uses. George Peter John Criscuola, better known by his stage name Peter Criss was more a flashy dresser than a flashy drummer, but what a drummer he certainly is.

Maurice Ravel's Bolero
“Works of art make rules, rules do not make works of art.” This famous quote by the master composer of the Impressionistic era Claude Debussy summarizes the true essence of a work of art. There should be no boundaries when it comes to creating something that can stand the passing of time, with this piece, this is not the case. We assume that your most accomplished and renowned work as a composer must be something that shows compositional magnificence. A composer’s masterpiece considered “rubbish” by the same composer is not what we can catalog as fulfilling creative work.

Larissa. The Mistress of Large Music. Episode no. 6
EPISODE NO. 6 “THE BRITS” In this episode we will hear music from The Brits. British composers of the late 19th Century, and first half of the 20th Century. Edward Elgar, Ralph von Williams, Cyril Scott, William Walton, and Frederick Delius. British orchestral composers are as different from each other as the atmosphere of Mars, Venus and Jupiter. It is amazing they all lived on one rainy little island in the north Atlantic. In these five composers we again hear the vast variety of music styles available within a symphony orchestra. The only thing similar in their music is the instruments used to play the music.
