10 Ways Beach Music, Romance & Self-expression Created the First ?myspace?

By admin on September 30, 2010

by John Hook

Beach Music? Many define it by its geography and the kinds of songs it includes while describing ‘friendship’ and ‘good times’ as the glue which binds it.

If you’re like me you’ve thrilled to square dancing in bright costumes, two-stepping in country bars, bumping and hustling in discos, and line dancing in modern clubs. They’re all filled with friendship and good times; making those insufficient illustrations of what makes Beach Music what it is.

1. Beach Music in the East and the West are similar, but not the same.
Both coastal communities celebrate individuality and self-expression. At the center of West Coast beach culture is the surfer community encouraging private quests marked by athletic achievement while the East Coast dance culture inspires a new form of social success.

2. East Coast Beach Music nurtures new ideals of social equality, romance, and improvisational self-expression.
Fifteen years before Rock and Roll, white teenagers in the Southeast embraced Black music as their own. At the same time they developed a new dance to express themselves. From that mixture the Shag evolved.

3.  Many found the secret rites of Shag and Beach Music at the Beach.
Like the “soul surfers” of the West Coast, the “soul dancers” set new standards for the ‘good life.’ At the beach, personal and hometown histories stayed home while they assumed nicknames and developed new personalities.

GPS show locations where Beach Boys make history

By admin on June 26, 2010

Technology has done wonders for travel over the past few years, and you need to look no further than the Internet to see how you probably have changed the way you once made hotel bookings or decided where to go on that special getaway weekend. An array of travel options awaits you online, and you now can book your whole trip with the simple click of a mouse.

For techno-geeks, the next frontier is GPS travel and already you read and hear about GPS users who meet up on the Internet and then make a game out of finding specific locations using latitude and longitude. Now we bring you GPS touring.

The idea is to create your own tour by using a GPS unit to find particular points of interest and specific addresses. Instead of shelling out $40 for a narrated bus tour of famous locations, now you can buy a GPS for $100 and be your own tour guide. Of course your GPS unit can be re-used, so that financial equation looks a little better after you’ve self-toured a few times.

For our first GPS tour, I chose Los Angeles and, for subject matter, the Beach Boys. Now for those old enough to remember the Beatles, you’ll also recall that just prior to the Beatles the air waves were awash in Beach Boys songs – probably in no small way a contributor to the population boom in Southern California as pale, cold, teeth-chattering baby boomers sought “The Warmth of the Sun” and those ubiquitous “California Girls” and guys.  Read more...
