Austin, the "live Music Capital of the World"
Posted by cleansearching in Musics on January 29, 2010 | no responses
Jim Olenbush asked:
Austin, the “Live Music Capital of the World”, is a slogan based on the very essence of this city that is supported by residents and local government alike. There are virtually hundreds of venues where locals and visitors can enjoy every type of live music imaginable.
In 1991, blues musician Lillian Standfield approached the City’s Music Commission to propose Austin be labeled the “Music Capital of the USA”. After extensive research, city officials discovered that Austin had more live music venues per capita than any of the major cities including Nashville, New York City or Las Vegas. It was suggested the city slogan be upgraded to the “Live Music Capital of the Universe”, but the council compromised, and on August 29, 1991, the “Live Music Capital of the World” became Austin’s official slogan.
Since that day, Austin has more than ‘walked its talk’. Not only do they organize a number of regular musical events, they have integrated music into the day to day running of the local government. City officials have also developed various programs to assist up-and-coming musicians with the promotion of their music. Here are just a few of the events and programs supported by this city.
Events
Live from the Plaza provides a series of free concerts on the plaza at City Hall.
Parks and Recreation provides an extensive calendar of events that have musical performances. They sponsor annual events such as the Trail of Lights (a holiday music venue) and a number of summer concerts.
South by Southwest is a major annual film and music festival.
The Austin City Limits Music Festival is a three-day music and art festival held in the fall.
In the summer, local businesses support a series of free blues shows in Zilker Park
Memorials:
Austin Music Memorial at the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Center for the Performing Arts honors deceased individuals who have contributed to the music community in some way.
Stevie Ray Vaughan has a striking life size memorial at Lady Bird Lake.
Local Promotion:
Music on Hold is a program where local music is played in the City’s telephone hold music system.
Austin Music Channel is a local station devoted to showcasing local talent.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has live music throughout three different venues in the terminal.
City council meetings include live music in their weekly sessions.
Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau actively promote “Live Music Capital of the World” as a travel destination and also provide assistance in booking local musicians.

Unlike the other fanmade trailers, this one contains the full package including live action scenes and cinematics. This is, by far, the best it can get. Take this as a reminder, that it’s coming.

The Cycle of Pop Music
Posted by cleansearching in Musics on January 26, 2010 | no responses
John Parks asked:
c has always had its critics and those that wish that rock and pop music would just go away. But over the years rock has proven to be pretty resilient and has withstood the test of time. Pop music is a bit of a different animal than rock music although the two genres do tend to cross over a great deal. Rock music is usually classified as music driven by electric guitar and all the various sub-genres of rock are usually identified with electric guitar driven music. Rock usually has a certain angst or message to it and many in the rock music industry take their music and their message very seriously. Pop music is usually a little more encompassing than rock music. Pop music is used to identify music that seems to be universally popular with a large audience and can cross over from genre to genre. Pop is usually accepted as being short for popular so what we are really dealing with here is what the music industry considers to be popular music which translates into music that has greater potential to sell a lot of records. Pop music is music that is designed to be catchy to the ear and grab a large audience right away. Many newer country artists are starting to write songs that are country but are also being classified as pop because of their universally catchy hooks. Sometimes pop can create other genres of music due to the growing popularity of the music within the pop genre. Disco was pop music until it evolved into its own music genre and became very popular in the 1970’s. Hip Hop is a mixing of rap and pop music that has become an extremely popular sub-genre of pop and stands today as one of the most popular genres of music in the industry. But rock music always seems to be there whether it is in the background as it was in the 1980’s or in the foreground as it was in the 1960’s and seems to be again today. Rock music seems to work in cycles and those cycles are definitely influenced by the popularity of pop music at the time. It seems that there is a large audience within the music industry that likes to jump from one genre to the next and that audience is the one that creates the pop music crazes that rule from year to year and that audience also dictates when rock music is at its peak and when rock music seems to be in decline. In the days when Britney Spears and Christine Aguilera were at the peak of their popularity pop music was at its peak which cause people to lose interest in rock music. Artists such as Pearl Jam and Metallica seemed to lose their luster and their record sales shifted to those acts offering a more pop music sound. Today acts like The White Stripes and The Killers are starting to bring rock music back to the forefront and it won’t be long before rock music is giving hip hop and other forms of pop music a run for their money.

What You Should Know About Your Production Before You Add a Music Soundtrack
Posted by cleansearching in Musics on January 25, 2010 | no responses
John Bickerton asked:
Too often choosing the right track from a music library is like hacking your way through overgrown jungle with no map and no sense of direction. It’s a time-intensive, hit-or-miss process that requires listening to multitudes of the wrong selections.
After a while your brain becomes numb and everything blends together and sounds the same. To further complicate things, you’re often searching for music right at the project deadline so there is pressure to find tracks fast.
The fastest way to find the right soundtrack for your work is to first identify the underlying feeling – the emotional thrust – of your production.
Many project creators only think about what STYLE of music they want (i.e. rock, Techno). A better way to proceed is to look for music based on the emotional character of your work.
When you know your project’s emotional themes, you will cut an incredible amount of time from your search.
DISTILL YOUR PROJECT DOWN TO ITS EMOTIONAL BASE
This is what film composers do. After meeting with the director to discuss the film’s meaning and concept, the composer immerses him/herself into the film and begins to investigate its emotional essence.You can do the same thing. Here is a simple exercise to try with your own work.
• See yourself in each scene as an eyewitness
to what is happening
• Become emotionally open to the events that occur.
• Freewrite your reactions. (Freewriting is writing that’s done quickly without any self-editing – you just want to get your ideas on paper in a way that you’ll remember)
• After the production is over, take your
freewriting and look for 1-5 keyword phrases that best describe the emotion(s) of what you’ve experienced.
This technique will work just as well for a 15 second Flash animation as an hour-length video documentary. In each case you want to understand the emotion at the heart of your project so you can choose music that elevates your viewer’s experience.
Here’s an example of the process…
Let’s say you’re giving a 2 hour talk on “Better Time Management” and you want some background music to use in your PowerPoint at the beginning, end, and during the break.
You do the exercise above and here is a sample of your freewriting…
—————————————–
…better time management = organization,
productivity, structure…getting things done
a sense of being in control,- order – stress free
living, flow, mind like water…
—————————————–
To derive your emotional keywords from this, look at the benefits of features like productivity and organization.
Benefit of productivity – accomplishment
Getting things done – satisfaction, freedom, liberation
Benefit of Organization/Order – peace, harmony, well-being
Now begin searching the music libraries listening for music that highlights feelings of satisfaction, freedom, that gives a sense of peace, harmony, accomplishment.
Remember, you’re still not locked into any specific musical style, you’re searching for music that will adequately speak to the emotional content of your work.
On the UniqueTracks web site we have sorted every track in our library by its corresponding emotional keywords. If you need a track to underscore the feeling of “satisfaction” or “peace”, all you have to do is click a link and you’ll be presented with a listing of all the tracks in our library that correspond to those feelings.
Once you know the feeling you are looking for,
finding the right track becomes much easier because through the process of drilling down to the emotional core of your work you have already filtered out most of the music choices that don’t apply. You have narrowed your search, created a map, and a way to avoid getting lost in the production music jungle.

Which Girl Would Naruto End Up With?
Posted by cleansearching in Cartoon on January 23, 2010 | no responses
It’s always amazing to see how much people can get riled up over Naruto’s love life. Indeed, Naruto’s love life is the subject of many debates and flame wars in the internet. Either way, we can’t deny the fact that the whole ‘romance’ aspect of the anime makes it more interesting. And, since Naruto’s the main character he has to end up with someone, right?
There are two girls in the series who posses the possibility of ending up with Naruto. Unless, the author Kishimoto throws in a new female character onto the mix.
Haruno Sakura
Sakura is and has always been Naruto’s crush, even from the beginning of the series. Although she is Naruto’s teammate but she wasn’t not necessarily his friend at the beginning of team Kakashi. In fact, Sakura displayed a lot of hostility towards Naruto in the beginning of the series, owing perhaps to Naruto’s reputation as the academy’s ‘deadlast’. However, she warms up to him as the series progresses and starts to care for him as a friend. Sure, if you look at it this way, these two seem like they’re headed for the holy matrimony. Naruto’s the main male character and Sakura’s the main female character and they would probably end up together, right? Wrong. Things aren’t that simple.
Ir’a given fact that Naruto has a crush on Sakura, but Sakura is in love with Sasuke instead; Naruto’s direct rival. He is everything he is not since start. As a genius, Sasuke is also good looking, and powerful without even trying. Sasuke does not blatantly return her affections but there are little clues in the series where you’ll see that these two; Sakura and Sasuke definitely have something together. In fact, Sakura and Sasuke’s relationship is one of the most romantically developed in the anime what with the hug in the forest of death where it is only through Sakura’s hug that Sasuke, possessed by the cursed seal, comes to his senses. There’s also Sasuke’s acknowledgement that Sakura is one of his ‘precious persons’. And then there’s this huge matter of Sakura’s confession of love, true ‘I’ll-sacrifice-everything-for-you’ love. And though Sasuke knocked her out, he does leave her with a thank you which is enigmatic and poignant.
Until now, even with Sasuke’s defection, he is still the biggest hindrance to any possibility of Naruto and Sakura getting together since Sakura obviously still loves Sasuke and there are always these tiny clues that he might love her back. All it takes for them to get together is for Sasuke to finish with his goals and have time to ‘restore his clan’.
And though Sakura is warming up to Naruto, it mostly seems like friendship and not ‘romance’. Sakura loves Naruto but only as a friend it seems like moving forth even at Naruto Shippuden. All of Naruto’s advances seems to fail as Sakura rejected him softly without much emotion.
Hyuuga Hinata
Then there’s Hinata. Hinata is a shy girl who, unlike all the other academy girls, had a crush on Naruto since the very beginning. She never looked down on Naruto although she is way smarter then Naruto. On the contrary, the crush she has on Naruto is so huge that she faints whenever she’s on a close proximity to Naruto.
Unbeknownst to Naruto, she is one of the first people who have ever acknowledged him besides Sasuke. Hinata admires him for his courage, strength, determination, and confidence. These are qualities completely opposite of her that she lacks greatly of. Naruto inspires her to be more than she is and it always pushes Hinata to be a better person
Naruto and Hinata have their moments. The most important one is probably the ‘blood oath’. And all throughout the anime, Kishimoto inserts fluffy Naruhina scenes, especially in Shippuden. In my opinion, all it takes for them to get together is a confession of some sort such as Hinata finally gathering enough courage (which fits well with her theme) to walk up to Naruto and tell him she loves him.
We’ll have to watch Naruto to see what happens essentially but my verdict would be that Naruto will probably end up with Hinata and Sasuke will end up with Sakura.

Where to Get Unlimited Downloads to Music, Movies and More
Posted by cleansearching in Musics on January 22, 2010 | no responses
Luthien asked:
If you want unlimited downloads to music, mp3’s, movies, TV shows and more this is the place to get it, “My Music Inc” I like to listen to music (like we all do) but I can’t always get to the shops to buy a CD or I think to myself why pay full price for a CD when I only want a song or two off the album. So I signed up for unlimited downloads and I could not believe the range of music to pick from.
I like to listen to Rock, R&B, Hip-Hop but my dad likes Country and Blues. He saw me browsing the lists of songs. There where so many to choose from and he was trying to kick me off the computer because he wanted to look for his own music. But the thing I love the most is that it’s not just music you get to download, it’s movies, games and even software as well! There’s something for the whole family.
Now I can listen to the songs I download in the car, but I burn them onto a CD. Because I’ve got unlimited downloads I can make as many CD’s as I want, and I can even download software to help me burn it to my own CD’s, is not that just great? I think so.
But it gets better, no extra fees and no download limits! I **** it when you want to download something and you get charged $X per download and/or you can only download X amount each month. Well not here, and with the range to pick from, this has to be the largest music network ever. It is great for my family and me. Why don’t you try it and see what you think? I believe you won’t be disappointed.
Rock on!!!

Austin: Living Up to It’s Moniker of "live Music Capital of the World"
Posted by cleansearching in Musics on January 22, 2010 | no responses
Adam Singleton asked:
Austin, Texas has a vibrant live music scene, and boasts more music venues per capita than any other city in the United States. Austin’s music scene revolves mainly around the many nightclub venues on 6th Street, but the pinnacle is arguably the annual music, film and multimedia festival called South By Southwest (SXSW).
SXSW officially began in 1987, originating as the Austin Battle of the Bands and is centered around the downtown Austin Convention Center. It has become one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more thousands of performers from all across the globe playing in over seventy venues across Austin over four days in March. Largely an industry-based event, SXSW has garnered a reputation for being the place for new, up-and-coming bands to break into the industry, and particularly British bands looking to break the US market. Acts who have gained mass notoriety after playing sets at SXSW include The White Stripes in 2001, and British emo-punks Gallows who took the festival by storm in 2007.
2007 was SXSW’s biggest year yet, and saw more than 2000 bands take over Austin between March 14th and 18th. Highlights included stand-out sets from The Rapture, Cold War Kids and Kings of Leon. David Byrne, formerly of Talking Heads, and The Who’s Pete Townshend were among the event’s conference speakers (Townshend later made a guest appearance, joining The Fratellis onstage and showcasing his trademark windmill guitar moves). British punk legends The Buzzcocks also played a raucous set, as did US punk icons Iggy & The Stooges. There was also the emergence of a one-night-only supergroup, as Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave was joined on his solo set by a mass of unannounced special guests including Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, MC5’s Wayne Kramer, Primus bass supremo Les Claypool and Slash of Guns ‘n Roses and Velvet Revolver fame.
SXSW is the single highest money-making public event for the Austin community, generating more revenue than even home games by Austin’s hugely popular college football team, the Texas Longhorns
SXSW is just one of Austin’s festivals – the city is also host to the All Tomorrow’s Parties-esque Fun Fun Fun Festival, a two day event that last year saw performances across three stages from acts such as Cat Power and Diplo as well as sets from Austin natives Okkervil River, Zykos, I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness and Explosions In The Sky, who headlined.
Also, the Austin City Limits festival has quickly become one of the most popular and well-attended festivals in the entire United States, ranking alongside Coachella and Lollapalooza. The festival brings together over 130 bands across eight stages over three days. The festival works in conjunction with the popular Austin City Limits TV show, which showcases local Austin acts as well as artists playing the festival.
For any fans wishing to experience “the live music capital of the world” for themselves, there are plenty of hotels in Austin available to suit a range of budgets, but with the eye of the America turning to Texas, booking in advance is advised for the more popular acts.

Austin’s music scene revolves mainly around the many nightclub venues on 6th Street, but the pinnacle is arguably the annual music, film and multimedia festival called South By Southwest (SXSW).
SXSW officially began in 1987, originating as the Austin Battle of the Bands and is centered around the downtown Austin Convention Center. It has become one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more thousands of performers from all across the globe playing in over seventy venues across Austin over four days in March. Largely an industry-based event, SXSW has garnered a reputation for being the place for new, up-and-coming bands to break into the industry, and particularly British bands looking to break the US market. Acts who have gained mass notoriety after playing sets at SXSW include The White Stripes in 2001, and British emo-punks Gallows who took the festival by storm in 2007.
2007 was SXSW’s biggest year yet, and saw more than 2000 bands take over Austin between March 14th and 18th. Highlights included stand-out sets from The Rapture, Cold War Kids and Kings of Leon. David Byrne, formerly of Talking Heads, and The Who’s Pete Townshend were among the event’s conference speakers (Townshend later made a guest appearance, joining The Fratellis onstage and showcasing his trademark windmill guitar moves). British punk legends The Buzzcocks also played a raucous set, as did US punk icons Iggy & The Stooges. There was also the emergence of a one-night-only supergroup, as Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave was joined on his solo set by a mass of unannounced special guests including Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, MC5’s Wayne Kramer, Primus bass supremo Les Claypool and Slash of Guns ‘n Roses and Velvet Revolver fame.
SXSW is the single highest money-making public event for the Austin community, generating more revenue than even home games by Austin’s hugely popular college football team, the Texas Longhorns
SXSW is just one of Austin’s festivals – the city is also host to the All Tomorrow’s Parties-esque Fun Fun Fun Festival, a two day event that last year saw performances across three stages from acts such as Cat Power and Diplo as well as sets from Austin natives Okkervil River, Zykos, I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness and Explosions In The Sky, who headlined.
Also, the Austin City Limits festival has quickly become one of the most popular and well-attended festivals in the entire United States, ranking alongside Coachella and Lollapalooza. The festival brings together over 130 bands across eight stages over three days. The festival works in conjunction with the popular Austin City Limits TV show, which showcases local Austin acts as well as artists playing the festival.
For any fans wishing to experience “the live music capital of the world” for themselves, there are plenty of hotels in Austin available to suit a range of budgets, but with the eye of the America turning to Texas, booking in advance is advised for the more popular acts.

The art of creating movies is as unique and individual as the finger prints on our hands. Film directors, creative story tellers they are, visualize every aspect of their film long before lighting is set, cameras roll, and action begins. They are magicians making magic that entertains us with the final cut that reflects the spirit and passion of their dreams.
Comes one such filmmaker on the horizon, Jon Gustafsson. Born and raised in Iceland, he developed a passion for filmmaking when his father gave him an 8mm camera. Pursuing his dreams he studied filmmaking in Manchester, England and Directing for Theater and Cinema at the California Institute of the Arts. He has directed documentaries, music videos, short films, theater shows, and feature length films in Iceland and Canada. Some of his projects are ‘The Importance of Being Icelandic’ for CBC’s RoughCuts series, ‘Brighter Hell’ – a music video for the Canadian rock band The Watchmen, (nominated for the 1999 Prairie Music Awards) writing and directing his first feature film ‘Kanadiana.’ Gustafsson’s latest contribution is his award winning documentary Wrath of Gods starring Gerard Butler. He was hired to play a small part in the Viking epic Beowulf and Grendel as one of Beowulf’s warriors. He had endless days on the set with time on his hands to kill so he took along his camera and captured the unbelievable story behind the movie Beowulf and Grendel. His expertise as a talented filmmaker has earned him six prestigious awards at film festivals around the world where his work has received praise and he has gained notoriety as a director.
Gustafsson is working on his next project, a comedy feature, that his fans are looking forward to with much anticipation.
