The link between drugs and music explained by science For centuries, musicians have used drugs to enhance creativity and listeners have used drugs to heighten the pleasure created by music. And the two riff off each other, endlessly. The relationship between drugs and music is also reflected in lyrics and in the way these lyrics were composed by musicians, some of whom were undoubtedly influenced by the copious amounts of heroin, cocaine and “reefer” they consumed, as their songs sometimes reveal. Acid rock would never have happened without LSD, and house music, with its repetitive 4/4 beats, would have remained a niche musical taste if it wasn’t for the wide availability of MDMA (ecstasy, molly) in the 1980s and 1990s. And don’t be fooled by country music’s wholesome name. Under the influence As every toker knows, listening to music while high can make it sound better.

Taylor Swift Death Cab For Cutie SKY SAILING OFFICIAL SITE PewDiePie Pankhurst heirs pen anthem to a century of suffrage | UK news Relatives of the suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst will next month premiere a choral work commissioned by the BBC to mark 100 years since women won the right to vote. The writer and women’s rights campaigner Helen Pankhurst and composer Lucy Pankhurst aim to deliver a rallying cry with lyrics that call upon “a sisterhood of sacrifices made along the way”. The Pankhurst Anthem will first be heard on Radio 3’s website on 6 February, the centenary of the passing of the key Representation of the People Act. “It all resonates now in a particularly eerie way because, in its concerns for equality between the genders, 2018 suddenly feels more like 1918 again,” said Helen Pankhurst, Emmeline’s great-granddaughter. “Most of us are interested in the centenary of women’s suffrage because of our understanding that we are still on that journey. “What I was interested in was the power of the words, and the idea of power itself,” Helen said. … we have a small favour to ask.

Get Happy!! (Elvis Costello album) The original album sleeve reversed the two sides; side one began with "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" (the current single) and ended with "Riot Act". The second side started with "Love for Tender" and ended with "High Fidelity". Only on the record labels themselves was the true running order revealed. The original release of the album was on 12-inch vinyl and cassette. It was unusual for a single vinyl record to contain as many as twenty songs because it was thought that what was known in the industry as "groove cramming" would result in a loss of sound quality. Get Happy's producer, Nick Lowe, mentions this issue on the album's back cover: All songs written by Elvis Costello unless otherwise indicated. "Love for Tender" – 1:57"Opportunity" – 3:13"The Imposter" – 1:58"Secondary Modern" – 1:58"King Horse" – 3:01"Possession" – 2:03"Man Called Uncle" – 2:17"Clowntime Is Over" – 2:59"New Amsterdam" – 2:12"High Fidelity" – 2:28 The Attractions Technical
