Music Musicians Bands Players Instruments Clubs Disco memories from The People History Site Throughout the years, musical styles have reflected the society of the time and have evolved with changes in the world. Not only does music change with society but it changes with technological advances as well. As technology changes it can allow new styles to emerge and new ways for people to listen. From radio to television, and records to the internet, music and the way we consume it has dramatically changed in the past seventy years. Even the innovations in the technology used to create musical instruments and recording equipment has effected what styles and songs are made and popular within the music landscape. Throughout this section we will try to briefly cover the types of music that were popular since the 1940's up until the present day by providing lists of genres and artists as well as some historical context. Music in the 1920's was dominated by jazz, blues and the traveling dance bands that played what was popular at the time.

Shocking: JP Morgan Chase Was On to Madoff for Months, Kept Doing Business With Him It's been revealed that JP Morgan Chase suspected Bernie Madoff's investments were "too good to be true" in the two months leading up to the Ponzi schemer's arrest, during which time the bank kept doing business with him anyway. According to ABC News, lawyers representing Madoff's victims have filed a $6.4 billion lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase, claiming the bank "continued its relationship with Madoff despite having documented suspicions about him." Indeed, a "Suspicious Activity Report" shows that the bank's London office was, well, suspicious of Madoff's investment returns in October 2008. “[T]he investment performance achieved by [Madoff's] funds…is so consistently and significantly ahead of its peers year-on-year, even in the prevailing market conditions, as to appear too good to be true – meaning it probably is.”

Google Music Timeline Is A Visual History Of The Popularity Of Genres & Artists If you’re an audiophile, you are going to love this. With its various services, Google is amassing a vast amount of data right now. And sometimes, it puts this data to cool uses, like the newly launched Music Timeline, a project by Google Research. In their words, this is “a visualization to show which music has stood the test of time, and how genres and artists have risen and fallen in popularity.” The Music Timeline is an interactive chart with the X axis measuring popularity and the Y axis denoting the time. Google uses data from the Play Music app, defining popularity as how many users have that artist or album in their music library. The first chart shows different genres and when they were popular. Click the genre and it will open sub-genres. You can also directly search for an artist or band in the search box to get their popularity chart over the years. So that’s the new Google Music Timeline. Source: Google Music Timeline, Google Research blog

Escondido 'bomb factory' suspect indicted on federal charges SAN DIEGO (CNS/CBS 8) - There was court appearance Friday for the man accused of running a virtual bomb factory out of his home in Escondido. Prosecutors are dismissing state charges against 54-year-old George Jakubec, but he's now been indicted on federal charges. In a nine-count federal indictment handed up Thursday, George Djura Jakubec, 54, was charged with illegal manufacturing of destructive devices, illegal possession of destructive devices, bank robbery, attempted bank robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime. The federal indictment alleges that on or before Nov. 18, Jakubec made destructive devices, including nine detonators and 13 grenade hulls with unknown quantities of high explosives. Jakubec was arrested last month after a gardener, Mario Garcia, 49, of Fallbrook, was injured when he stepped on something akin to a mine in Jakubec's backyard. Gov. He is scheduled to make his first appearance at the U.S. Information contributed by News 8 Reporter Doug Kolk.

Walmart We have had this air conditioner for about a month now and we remain extremely pleased with it. It cools our daughter's 13x15 room perfectly and maintains the temperature we set. This is the quietest operating a.c. we've ever had, you can barely tell when the condenser kicks on. I ordered this unit around 10am on a Thursday with regular 97 cent shipping and it arrived the next morning! I couldn't believe it.

dj, music, genres, definitions, house, disco, rock, hip hop, techno, reggae, classical songs A music genre is a category (or genre) of pieces of music that share a certain style or "basic musical language" (van der Merwe 1989, p.3). Music can also be categorised by non-musical criteria such as geographical origin. Such categories are not strictly genre and a single geographical category will often include a number of different genre. Categorizing music, especially into finer genres or subgenres, can be difficult for newly emerging styles or for pieces of music that incorporate features of multiple genres. Some genre labels are quite vague, and may be contrived by critics; post-rock, for example, is a term devised and defined by Simon Reynolds. Although there are many individual genres, it is possible to group these together into a number of overlapping major groupings. The term classical music refers to a number of different, but related, genres. Rhythm and blues is a name for black popular music tradition. Country music is usually used to refer to honky tonk today.

Chaîne de 4Quasmusic iTunes: eMusic: Amazon: Reviews for a Musical Blue World: 4Qua If Bob Marley and Led Zeppelin had a lovechild, 4Qua would be the result. With soulful and smooth rock remnants and reggae beats coming together to form a unique sound that is almost impossible to pinpoint into one genre, 4Qua can definitely touch your heart. 4Qua's ability to transform his voice and music on so many different levels has been presented with wonder in his new album. The album, appropriately titled 4You, is a definite testament to this original sound, which seems like it was composed for a long lost love. Whether you want to jam out to some reggae-inspired beats through Ooh Says God Don't Like Sex or philosophise your life through a quirky track like Whatever, there's a little bit of magic for everyone in this album.

Generi Musicali - Benvenuti su musicbook! Heavy metal L'heavy metal (letteralmente "metallo pesante", spesso abbreviato in metal) è un genere di musica rock. Derivante dall'hard rock, è caratterizzato da ritmi fortemente aggressivi e da un suono potente, ottenuto attraverso l'enfatizzazione dell'amplificazione e della distorsione delle chitarre, dei bassi, e, spesso, persino delle voci. Le tematiche musicali sono spesso definite come oniriche, rabbiose o violente. Già molto popolare negli anni settanta ed ottanta, ha continuato ad avere successo nei decenni seguenti e si è inoltre diversificato in numerosi sottogeneri. Moltissimi sono gli artisti e i gruppi ascritti al metal, sia nei meccanismi musicali ufficiali che in ambito underground. Rock Il rock and roll è un genere musicale nato negli Stati Uniti negli anni cinquanta e in seguito diffusosi rapidamente in tutto il mondo. Punk [/color][/font] Blues Molti degli stili della musica popolare moderna derivano o sono stati fortemente influenzati dal blues. Jazz Raggae Ska Pop

Who Voted For and Who Voted Against Middle Class Tax Cuts? | Nicole Sandler - Radio Or Not - Progressive Talk Radio I just had to pop in for this special post. Kudos to Nancy Pelosi for bringing the vote to the floor on extending the the tax cuts for households with an income under $250,000 a year. By the way, the thing that virtually no one mentions is that everyone would get a tax break on their first $250,000 of income. People who are lucky enough to make more would just pay a higher rate on the higher earnings (which, in many cases, are not earned at all!) One more thing before I get to the names… The only thing that would have made this more substantial would be if Pelosi introduced a companion bill to be voted on immediately after this one. But they didn’t, so Boehner is able to call this “chicken crap” political maneuvering in his warped sense of reality. OK…here we go. John Duncan of Tennessee Walter B. Ron Paul of Texas! Good for them. Now for the truly heinous… So-called Democrats who voted against the best interests of the working people of America: Brian Baird of Washington Jim Matheson of Utah
