The first wave of punk aimed at distancing itself from the pretentiousness and posturing of 1970s rock. Punks strove to dismantle the tame acts that were now standing as pre-eminent rock and roll. Rock no longer stood for the left field, for the rebels, for the counter-culture. Stripped down and pure is the way they wanted it, in contrast to the over the top musical effects and emphasis on musical virtuosity that had become staples of rock and roll. In December 1976, the English fanzine Sideburns famously published an article containing an illustration detailing how to play three chords and the instruction – ’Now form a band’. Some leading English punk figures rejected not just their contemporaries but also their predecessors including Elvis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Many in the scene discounted nostalgia, developing nihilist sentiments all set to a background of economic recession, unemployment and disillusionment in late 70s Britain. Many punk bands emulated the bare musical structures of 1960s garage rock, songs tended to be shorter but retained the verse-chorus form and 4/4 time signature. However, with the second wave and the development of hardcore all boundaries of music were tested. Production tended to be minimalist in an attempt to achieve the real and unmanipulated effect of the live performance. However, the second wave of punk, though still containing key elements such as energy and aggression began to expand its musical range with a wider variety of tempos and more complex instrumentation. Many interacted with the reggae and ska subcultures, incorporating their rhythms and production styles.

Why You Should Add Music To Your Website Audio Buttons
September 1st, 2010 admin A lot of marketers are successfully using audio buttons on their websites with great success. In most cases an audio button on a sales page really does increase sales.
Website audio is a very powerful tool.
It can be made even more powerful if you add music to your website audio message.
Here’s how:
1. You can choose music that will match the mood of your potential buyer.
For example if you have an exciting sales message given in a clear and enthusiastic way, then you should use an upbeat music track.
Not only will your prospect get your sales message in their head by what you say, you have encouraged the right frame of mind for them to buy with the background music. Thus, making it more likely that they will purchase.
2. Grab attention with a short intro track.
Before your message starts you can really grab your prospects attention by adding a short introductory bit of music. You can then carry on the rest of the audio message either with or without further background music.
3. Give A Really Professional Image
People in general will associate your use of music with professional media broadcasts that they are exposed to everyday. These include news channels such as CNN and radio.
But where can you get music tracks to use in your web audio?
Free, Legal Music Online
August 31st, 2010 admin Almost everyone has heard about the massive crack down on Internet music piracy that has been occurring over the past few years. Napster was taken down (although it has now returned as a pay service), other file sharing programs now require users to pay for a license and the RIAA and other similar organizations are doing their best to hunt down copyright offenders and put an end to their crime sprees. The consumers on the other hand argue that their actions hurt nobody, that there is no damage done to anyone by their not buying an album. Furthermore, they claim, MP3s allow them to sample a CD before purchasing it, thus actually helping sales.
I’m not here to argue the pros and cons. Basically it’s not worth it, as neither side of the argument will ever see the opposition’s point of view. What I’d like to do is take a look at the completely free and legal alternative to ’stealing’ music. Those wonderfully talented musicians who are willing to put their creations online to download for free, solely for the joy of spreading their creations to the masses.
Free music is surprisingly easy to come by, even music by famous bands. Sometimes it needs to be ’streamed’ from the Internet, meaning that you can only listen to a song while you’re online, but with the ever-growing popularity of broadband Internet this is really no longer a problem. Sites such as MP3.com and purevolume.com provide free music by almost any band you can think of, although there is a large amount of it that has to be streamed and not downloaded. A search for ‘free legal MP3 downloads’ will reveal a huge number of pages to visit.
The history of Soul Music and R&B
August 31st, 2010 admin Soul Music has its beginnings in Gospel and R&B of the 1940s and 1950s. They both had major influences on key soul singers including Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, just to name a couple.
The birthplace of Soul Music, to be quite honest is unknown. What is known? The United States inner cities, including Chicago, Detroit, Florence, Memphis, and New York, all created and produced their own soul music styles based on their demographics at the same time, thus making a “beautiful mixture“ of sound variety across the states for us all to enjoy.
In the 1970s, Hip Hop was born, which had a huge influence on the Soul Music that followed. New Jack Swing (aka Swing Beat), which combined Soul, Hip Hop, Gospel and Jazz, was absolutely rocking.
Disco and Funk Music also came to fruition in the 1970s, and started to decline in the early 1980s. Undoubtedly, Soul Music was now being influenced by Electro Music and Funk – it became known as Contemporary R&B which was, and still is, great!.
House and Techno rose to mainstream popularity in the late 1980s and remained popular in the 1990s and 2000s. Also starting in the 1980s, Soul Music from the United Kingdom became very popular – cheers mate!.
The development of Neo-Soul started around 1994. This was due to mainstream record label marketing support for soul genres diminishing in the 2000s, as the industry re-focused on Hip Hop – somewhat of a master stroke by the powers that be.
