Internet is wonderful resource for music lovers. Because there are numerous music review sites on the web, with many merely being blog like rants or uninformative fans spewing unwarranted praise. If you are a music lovers share my views.

Pitchfork Media is a one of the Internet’s best known music review sites generally it covers a wide array of music, from indie-pop and alt country, to electronica and hardcore. Sometimes it makes for incredible and informative reads, while other times it merely comes off verbose and tiresome, with not enough focus on the music.
Metacritic is another music resource on online, generally Metacritic does not offer original review material, but instead combines ratings from numerous sources to create an overall rating. Reviews from websites like Pitchfork Media.
Jazz Review, generally Jazz Review offers a massive amount of info on the world of Jazz music. Whether you are looking for some new discs to buy, a concert to attend, or just some Jazz info, Jazz Review is a great resource.
Coke Machine Glow offers reviews of a wide range of mostly independent acts. Their reviews not only show the initial reviewer’s rating of the album, but a combined rating based on the opinions of the entire staff

So go throw these websites and find whatever you want good luck.

Playing Guitar – My Hobby

Philip Amalong — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:31:36 +0000

I enjoy playing guitar and the best job in learning guitar is with the basics. Playing guitar can be fun and easy for the people with interest. I will be offering tips and give reviews where the guitar passionate people can easily learn lessons. I learnt to play it on my own, however the majority of people are not able to learn guitar on their own without any help. I offer lessons and I always wanted the learners to be with patience and passion to learn. And once they are mastered a few cords they keep learning.

I have had my students try different course programs that help them to learn guitar. One good thing about the courses you can take from home is that you decide when you want to take you guitar lessons. You can also decide how many times you want to repeat a guitar lessons. This gives you flexibility and now time is on your side and learning guitar fits into any schedule.

Learning guitar is always easer than the person thinks. People of all ages can achieve many different levels when they decide to learn how to play guitar. You can learn electric and acoustic guitar with this course. I will be reviewing another course for those people who really want to get the most out of their guitar lessons. For now I have found at least one very good course.

Music At President’s Inauguration Is Not Live!

It is astonishing to hear that they fooled millions of people who were watching the inaugural function of President Obama, live. I don’t know how they dared to do that; but they did that already.

The music, which was played in President Obama’s inaugural function, is not live! They played a recorded music in background and acted before us that they are playing the music. They said that the cold weather had become a major constraint for tuning their instruments and they had to yield to act like playing the music while a record in background played actual music.

What should I call this play as? Lip-Syncing? A classical play? How would it be if we called it as instrumental syncing?

Whatever may be the name for this, the thing what musicians did that morning of the inauguration is simply fooling the people.

I wouldn’t have minded if they have provided good music at least. But even the music they played was not at all good.
