Preview Of The Next Day Album!

By Bryan Vilfort


Many people thought that David Bowie had stopped as a musician. However, the living legend and rock icon is back with the beautiful single 'Where Are We Now?,' which you should check out. The new single is going to feature on his upcoming record 'The Next Day.'

When I heard Bowie's new single on Vimeo, I was pleasantly surprised. While, 'Where Are We Now?' is low key, it is a beautiful single. I'm very excited to hear the rest of the album, will it live up to the single? Let's do a preview of the coming album. In this 'The Next Day' preview, I go through essential facts and gossip about the album, and analyze the single 'Where Are We Now?.'

One rumor that has surrounded 'The Next Day,' is that the album is going to be contemplative like the single, while the rest of the songs on the album are faster. In an interview on the Guardian, the producer of the new album, Tony Visconti says, that this is true. Tony, who has worked on 12 of Bowie's previous albums, tells that the new record has 5 fast songs and some mid-tempo tracks that have a mysterious and evocative sound.

Having heard the single, one could think that Bowie's new album will be more mellow. According to Tony, Bowie is not going to sound mellow or as an old man, on the contrary. In the studio, the singer often sang so loud that the producer had to move away from the singer. On the single, Bowie just wanted to show another musical aspect - a softer side.

'The Next Day' album was recorded secretly over a period of two years in the famous NYC's Magic Shop Studios, says Tony Visconti. It was made by a closed circle of Bowie's old friends. All, with a few exceptions, they are people that Bowie has worked with before on tours or in studios. This is also the reason, why it was possible for Bowie to keep the album release a secret until the last minute. A quite remarkable achievement these internet days, where almost everyone carries a smartphone.

While, Bowie previous had told Tony that he didn't want to sing anymore, Tony wasn't surprised when Bowie called and said that he wanted to record a new album. Tony thinks, that Bowie's creative mind made it necessary to express himself again as a musician - after 10 years of silence. 29 stunning songs were recorded in the studio, but not all of them fitted the album, which ended up having 14 track, with 17 on the deluxe edition. This means, that Bowie most likely will record a second album later this year. However, the producer doesn't know exactly when. Considering the great reviews 'Where Are We Now?' already has received, this looks good.

Neil McCormick, who is a music critic at The Telegraph, argues that Bowie's new single could be the most surprising and perfect comeback in music history. The song is perfect structured and has a unique mysterious sound, and it makes you want to listen the other songs on the coming record.

NME Track Reviews calls Bowie's single an addictive song. NME Track Reviews describes it as perfectly structured, and a song that should be on future Bowie greatest hits records.

The website Ultimate Classic Rock thinks that Bowie's voice on 'Where Are We Now?' sounds heartening, and also describes the track as an ear worm.

I agree. I have heard the song many times, and I had to press repeat - again and again. The song really grows on you, and it is impressive, how it crawls under your skin.

The album is expected to be released March the 8th 2013 in Australia, the 11th in the rest of the world, except USA, where 'The Next Day' is released the 12th.

Don't Be Worried About The Effectiveness Of Your Funny T-Shirts

By Kenneth Cann


I am sure you like to think of yourself as a bit of a jokester, right? You make your friends laugh sometimes, and you have enjoyed your moment in the spotlight when it comes to entertaining your personal circle of comrades. Well, even if it is just on a subconscious level, you've decided to buy some funny tshirts on the Internet and up the comedy ante. When your shirts arrive, you are bubbling with excitement at what your friends are going to think when you wear one of these tees to the bar tonight.

Well, the time draws neigh for you to go to your favorite meet-up with your buddies and you think you've picked out the absolute best of your new funny tshirts. You have the whole night visualized in your mind. You're going to make everyone you see laugh out loud at the sight of your excellent pick apparel, girls are going to flock to you, and strangers are going to buy you drinks. Needless to say, it's going to be a pretty great night.

You walk into the bar, and you might even be showing a bit of a swagger to your steps. There is chatter and music all around you as you make your way through the crowd to the cluster of your friends next to the bar. One of your besties has already seen your approach and is waiting for you with a grin and a beverage. Smiles, salutations, and an opening salvo of conversation gets you situated within the group and everyone is happy to see you...but no one has said anything about your shirt, which is the best one out of all of your new purchases.

As the night drags onward, you can't help but think about the lack of comments you've gotten. You have the best sense of humor in the whole room, so if anyone is going to be able to pick out the best funny t shirts, it's going to be you...right? What if you don't have the best sense of humor, though? What if you're not just being drunk and paranoid, and people are laughing at your weak attempts at bar room comedy behind your back?

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about your friends not appreciating your choice of funny tees. Funny t-shirts are completely subjective. There is no human connection between a shirt and a person, so the person observing the shirt is the one who must immerse themselves in the concept of the joke all alone. Humor is subjective, and what one person thinks is hilarious, another person may dismiss completely. You will always be funnier than the print on some t-shirt, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep buying them! You may get one that everyone connects to, so experiment and try to stick to humor that is grounded in the movies, music, and interests of those you most care about.

Why There Is No More Super Music Producer ? ! -Buy Beats Online -

By Ideal Mc


During the early 2000's, the music industry, primarily the communities of hiphop and also rnb, observed the emanation of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What the heck is a "super producer"? So, the most reliable answer of their distinction with a "simple" producer would definitely adopt the illustration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know these well known fashion models as well as anybody else and you can see them on almost all the catwalks. To be brief: safe values.

That was the same in the music industry: there were "big" producers, safe values, that led entirely the projects and were looked for by the most well-known singers or rappers. This is usually much safer for a record label to exploit a popular music producer as compared to a beginner. The acclaimed producer produced a plenty of of successful singles, in principle. By reason that right at that time typically big music producers sold cd.

However, the music industry, since the beginning of the decade totally changed. To start with, most people don't actually buy disk anymore.

For that reason the record companies invest minimum money for a project. And apparently, record companies will no longer be wishing to spend between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the situation when the golden time period of music producers. The discs do not sell and worldwide web starts to develop. To fight against illegal downloading of their artists, record companies merge with with statutory download platforms to make sure to push their visibility on internet which has been getting away of their control for such a long time.

But the increasing use of the web has also made possible the expansion of abundant anonymous producers as good as, if not greater than, "Super Producers".

All of these producers have paying attention to the evolution of the Web, which has aided those to sell their beats online. Allowing them to connect and work with singers or rappers on a local scale as well as a world wide one. A producer from New york can sell beats to any one in Japan. It is actually now quicker for them to get a great respectability with a career. For the artists, this makes a huge difference! They are able to buy beats online at home for their album, EP or maybe mixtape for reasonable prices; definitely not those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a special attention to this brand new sector. They buy beats online as well. And of late we can observe that a few internet based producers are receiving hired by majors.

How Funny T-Shirts Almost Caused My Drunken Death

By Harold Bendis


Well, the first thing I have to admit is that I go out and drink on a pretty regular basis. Usually once during the week and once on the weekend, but sometimes more. I like to wear goofy, funny t-shirts on these outings because I find that they make great conversation starters. On the night in question, I decided to wear a shirt that read, "Don't Kanye me or I'll Chris Brown you and Tiger Woods your mom." In my opinion, that's a great shirt. Anyone who know anything about those three celebrities has an opinion about what they did and will jump into a conversation about them.

Being that Wednesday is one of the better nights to get soused with my comrades, we all met up at Paul's Place at around 7pm and I was proudly sporting one of my new funny t-shirts. My two friends and I ate some chicken wings, and starting pouring beer on top of them in our bellies. I love my bar and we were having a fantastic time, and there were even some girls there that have never been there before. We bought them drinks, we made them laugh, and turned the charm up to 10 while we played some shuffleboard. All in all, the night started off pretty great.

My funny t-shirts were always a hit, but this one was getting lots of attention. Maybe because it was so soon after the whole Taylor Swift incident, or maybe people are just sick and tired of Kanye West. Who knows, really. All I know is that I was getting super-drunk and I had passed the point of caring about what funny t-shirts I was wearing or about the massive hangover I was sure to have tomorrow. Beer turned into whiskey and that, in turn, became boilermakers. Do you know how stupid a boilermaker can make you? If you don't know, then good for you. You're winning.

The bar closed its doors around 2:00am, and I was in severe need of something to eat. Eggs, a burger, pizza, bacon...yes, bacon would be the best thing. I had to find an all-night diner and I needed something that had bacon in it. My best friend hailed a cab, and we managed to communicate to him with our drunken English that we needed food. He said he knew just the place and took off with us deep into the bowels of Manhattan, which means he was taking us really far away for the extra cab fare. I guess he wasn't as big of a fan of funny t-shirts as most. Someone else was, though, because as soon as me and my buddy walked into the diner, a guy sitting off to my left said, "Nice shirt, buddy."

I am not a fighter, I'll admit. I usually fend off fights with a witty quip and a disarming smile. When I've drank boilermakers all night, however, there is no chance of that happening whatsoever. Whoever was about to fight me, would only meet drunken slaps in opposition. I turned around, and lost all my will to fight or insult. The two guys sitting in the booth behind me were twin goliaths. Giant, angry-looking, black guys in suits. What in the world had I gotten myself into with my funny t-shirts? I stared at them with a look of shock on my face forever, but they couldn't maintain for long. They broke out laughing, and I gave an uneasy smile. It turns out that they were security guys for Kanye, and they disliked him about as much as anyone could.

Luckily, neither one of them liked him very much. The whole situation could have gone much different. They both laughed at me until tears were in their eyes when I asked them never to tell Kanye about it in all of the seriousness a drunk man can summon. I learned that night to choose my funny t-shirts a bit more carefully. You never know if you're going to run into Kanye Westor giant security guys who know him.

What To Search For When Getting An LA Photographer

By Claude Sable


If you've got an event coming up that needs a cameraman, or you own a website or magazine based in LA that needs new pictures, then you'll be in the market for an LA photographer. There are many different execs to choose from in the Hollywood area, which can sometimes be a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing as you get to select from some of the most accomplished people in the business. It is a curse because there is always that possibility that you may have hired someone more accomplished that would have taken less cash.

Step 1 in your search for a LA photographer is to chat to the people you know who have already exploited a cameraman and get referrals from them. You would be surprised at how many positive personal referrals you'll get from folk you know who deal with a pro that they think really highly of. A confident rating from someone you know is generally the best way to start the chase for any type of service professional. When you can get started with words of confidence from individuals that you trust, then you're off to a great start.

Any LA shutter-bug who is interested in your offer will be more than willing to meet with you and show you his portfolio. Do not be stunned if some photographers decline your invitation for a meeting. A real pro never takes on more work than he will do with confidence and quality. You need to basically be thankful that a few of the people turn you down, and you need to keep those names for later.

The people that tell you their diaries are too full are the ones you want to keep in contact with for future projects. Sit down with each LA photographer and just go thru their work. Ask them questions on how they might handle your project and pay serious attention to their answers.

You wish to select someone that gets the results you are searching for and takes an approach to the project that you feel good about. If someone has concepts that run contrary to what you had in mind, then you're not going to get the pictures that you had hoped for. You must trust in the inventive instincts of a pro, but you should also be guarded about making sure you get what you want.
