There is this one town that I know of, lots of minorities live there. Its a poor area. For entertainment they always are promoting hip hop dj’s , and gangster/pimp and ho themed parties.

Then there is this other town I know of. It is very affluent. Its filled with alot of older people with lots of money. The bars there which are referred to as lounges since they are more upscale always are having piano singers and jazz for entertainment.

Why do these towns choose such different choices of music and themes for their parties?

My English 102 teacher told me about an article that was in the Arizona Republic about four years that he remembered reading. He said it was about a study that was done about music and benefits to learning. That students listened to music for 1/2 an hour and read a paper. Students that listened to music first had an easier time understanding the paper and greater retention of information than the students that didn’t listen to music. If anyone has any info that can help me, please let me know. Thanks!

Thoughts on Dom Kennedy anyone?

Feel free to read an interview my good friend had with him for our blog The Whethermen’s Union.

Do you like his music? Is he bringing anything new to hip hop?

What do you think of this poem/song?

Here goes:

I love those times

When we sat by the fireside
Singing to each other those songs we love

But we never, just never knew their names

We were thinking of Good Riddance, the time of your life

We were dreaming Risque with birds at our sides
I didn’t know Ocean Avenue was the place where we sat
I didn’t notice 1901 meant all that

All was innocent, lost in the music
Keeping the beat of time

Cause that’s what music does to us
That’s what music does to us
Takes control and uncovers us
Brings us out into the light

Sweeps us right up off our feet
Makes two separated hearts meet
Could be messy or could be neat
But music leads us down our road

What factors influence our music tastes?

Take for example that, as a 19-year-old college sophomore, I listen to everything from Woody Guthrie to The Rolling Stones to Johnny Cash to Led Zeppelin to Bobby Vinton to Hank Williams to The Bee Gees, yet my parents pretty much have stuck to mid-70s rock / easy listening, thus I think something else may be going on here. What influences our music tastes, exactly?

Hi. I need some help finding a way to listen to my music without having to turn on my computer and have to wait for ages for it to load up. Is there some way of doing this? And I don’t want to get an mp3 player, I want a player that will stay in my room all the time.
I also am considering getting some new speakers, so I would prefer not to buy something that has speakers included. But it doesn’t really matter.
Thanks.
I dont think you guys get it. I need something with built in storage, like 80Gb+, like the sony GigaJuke. But not as expensive.
Never mind though

What kind of effect does music have on you?

By now, with all the fighting that happens in my dysfunctional family, I would have gone insane. Except I had something to drown out the yelling: music. I am an easy going person because of it. I get in a argument, listen to music, and I’m not mad anymore. In other words, it makes me super chill and happy.

What does music do for you?
