How To Listen To Music, Not Just Hear It
... effect). A good room to listen in,
is a typical family room with sheet rock walls and four ninety degree
corners.
The second consideration is placement of speakers. The corners of
a room are the perfect spot for your speakers. You shouldn't position them
flush against the wall, but put the back of the speaker into the corner, so
each side of the speaker is against each wall. For this reason, the bass
is extended (louder), and the tweeters, mid-range, and woofers give you
their undivided attention.
Where to sit is simple, but it takes some easy calculations to find
the perfect spot. There is a common rule for a person to experience the

Woodstock 1969
... a result of the mud produced during the rain. Most of the gates and fences were not put up which allowed many people to enter the festival for free. The mud also created a major cleanup project after the festival ended.
Woodstock gathered an unexpectedly large attendance. Only 50,000 to 100,000 people were expected to arrive at the site. These numbers seemed small compared to the 400,000 to 500,000 people who converged on the area on August 15, 16, and 17 of 1969. Many expected singers and bands could not arrive due to traffic backed up for miles along all the roads leading to the area. It was said that nearly one million people could have attended the concer ...

Eddie Vedder Is A Vampire
... or he is leading a fictional double life, from which he
draws inspiration for his lyrics.
What exactly is a vampire? Numerous myths, folk tales, and works of
fiction exist on the matter of what makes up a vampire, but if they do exist,
vampires have been incredibly careful to conceal their presence from most people
(supposedly following a law known as the Masquerade), and very little is known
about them definitively. However, some basic facts are common to most sources.
These are: vampires drink blood, vampires live forever if not killed, and
vampires undergo grievous bodily harm if exposed to sunlight; this normally
kills them.

The Verve Pipe: The Freshman - Analysis
... he says
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
we never talk of our lacking relationships
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our
heads on the floor
we fell through the ice when we tried not to
slip, we'd say
When you are young you always think, well that would never happen to me …. Or
even almost have a view that you were indestructible. You could never die, I am
too young. We have everything worked out, everything planned. This was kind of
the story between this girl and guy. The girl was stubborn and no matter how
many people told her she was wrong in here was, she though she knew everything.

The Emergence Of Heavy Metal
... involved politically, but he did disband his original band, "The Experience", because it had a white rhythm section, and created his all black "Band of Gypsies." Politically, this may have seemed necessary, but musically it was a mistake, the Gypsies were never as solid as the Experience. Increasingly, the effects of the music being produced, both by Jimi, and other acts relied heavily on the use of volume as a musical component. Most bands of the 70's would hold true to the mantra and turn their amplifiers to the symbolic ten.
Lyrical messages were also changing. The main themes of sixties music were peace and unity, the 70's brought a loud cynicism, songs becam ...

Who Are You?: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder
... industry hangers-on have been barred. It's a hand-picked crowd of the faithful who have waited a long time for this moment. Apart from scattered dates on their abortive 1995 tour, Pearl Jam have not sustained a tour in more than two years. The scene is set, then, for a legendary show -- the band's triumphant return.
You'd never guess it from Vedder's scowl. "Have you heard the new album?" he asks in his husky baritone. The applause is scattered. "Well," Vedder mumbles, "you're about to hear it again." With that, Pearl Jam edge into "Sometimes," the fragile ballad that opens No Code. "Seek my part," Vedder sings, pushing out the lyrics in a pained rasp. "Devote m ...

Origin Of Musical Instruments
... instruments emphasizes the fact that the musical art was at a high level in those ancient days. cylinder-seal of a queen of the land of Abraham's birth, who reigned about a thousand years before his time, reveals the fact that timbrels were being used at banquets and at religious gatherings. Jacob's father-in-law Laban, lived in Babylonian territory, and when Jacob left him in haste, he said to him: "Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly . . . that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? (Gen. 31:27). This suggests the possibility that some of these musical instruments as used in Babylonia found their way into the life ...

Censorship...Who Gives A F**k!!!
... When I was old enough to go out with my friends I became
confused when my parents said I could see an "PG-13" rated movie but the
theater wouldn't let me in. When I argued that "my parents said I could go see
it!!", the theater management always said things like I need to be 13 or must be
accompanied by a parent and so on. I then proposed this question, my parents
said I could see it, now why can't I see it? The answer to that question is the
government doesn't think I am old enough. My mom said live with it, there is
nothing you can do. I think that made me more inquisitive.
That was just the beginning, I was too young to go on certain rides and
too you ...
