    On the surface, one might not think that the great Italian opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and the acclaimed indie group Dinosaur Jr. have much in common. One concert, for instance, took place in an intimate performing arts center to an attentive and quietly reverent audience while the other in a loud, rough-and-tumble rock venue to a lively and informal audience. Indeed, there may appear to be no similarities between the effortlessly skilled classical stylings of the UNT College of Music and the deliberately ramshackle indie sound of Dinosaur Jr. However, with these two concerts, we see Christopher Small’s concept of “musicking” in full effect and, critically, two different forms of the same musical elitism.…

    LL Cool J LL Cool J can be imitated but cannot be duplicated. I want to know how he did achieve such a feat of reinventing himself from the 80’s B-boying and MCing into an actor and fashion icon when most of his peers from back in the day are still stuck on that same talent they discovered. LL Cool J which is the short for Ladies Love Cool James was born January 14, 1968 with the name James Todd Smith. He is an American hip hop recording artist and actor from Queens, New York. LL Cool J is also known as one of the forefathers of pop rap.…

    SCRATCH Scratch is a documentary movie, directed and altered by Doug Pray. The film examines the world of the Hip Hop DJ. From the introduction of Hip Hop, while spearheading DJ's started broadening breaks on their gathering records (which enlivened break moving and rap), to the innovation of scratching and beat-juggling vinyl, to its later blast as a melodic development called turntablism, it's an account of obscure underdogs and genuine virtuosos who have fundamentally changed the way we hear, play and make music. The film includes a portion of the world's best DJ's, regardless of whether well known for solo scratching, contending in DJ fights, playing for rap specialists, or simply shaking parties with the most crazy records at any point uncovered.

    By the late 1960’s and early 70’s women were questioning the inequality in society, including in music culture. With the rise of the feminist movement during the early 1970’s, we saw not just an increase in the number of women participating in pop music but also a change in how they participated. Carole King entered the music scene as a singer-songwriter, penning lyrics that were more personal and introspective than previous music had been. For example , Carole Kings it;s too late,” from her 1971 Tapestry album, boasted confessional lyrics that exemplified the genre: “There’ll be good times agin for me and you,. But we just can’t stay together.…

    Victor Hugo once said. “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” In essence, music is the not the cause, but the effect of an individual’s circumstances and culture. Contradictory to this hypothesis, there are skeptics that believe art is the cause and culture is the effect. Is one solely right or do both ideas hold validity?…

    Cultural Hijacking: The Commercialization of the Hip Hop Genre Ever since the formative years of the recorded music industry, Africana artists have played a major role in shaping some of the most influential music genres of the 20th century. Jazz, blues, and hip hop, to name a few, would not exist in the current state that they do today had it not been for all of the great artists who overcame racial intolerance and segregation through their art. Unfortunately, the period of social consciousness within musical entertainment has passed and an era of ignorance being spread through popular music has transpired in its place.…

    The middle class impacted the development in music in many different ways. You did a good job summarizing some of the ways that the middle class changed the music industry such as influences to the style of music, instruments, and musicians. Although, in my opinion, the most significant impact that the middle class had on the evolution of music was the alterations of the concerts. Before the middle class, concerts were only for the noble class and aristocrats. When the middle class began to earn more money and used some of it to pay for entertainment in the form of music and concerts, it allowed the audiences of concerts to become more diverse.…

    I cannot help but agree with you that the institutionalization of anything has the overall purpose of making it a norm for society to follow. Norms are not all bad due to the fact that people are wired and taught to follow directions so having a direction or system to follow makes them feel safe or have a purpose. Yet there are also individuals who break free from social norms and try to create their own, which makes me think of individuals who are a part of the hip hop culture, particularly when it comes to graffiti artists showing the world how they perceive it. Like you, I do not agree with the institutionalization of hip hop since it creates the same types of songs being produced, however, how it is institutionalized is the greater issue…

    Remember when it was considered a mortal sin for a band to license¬¬¬ their music for use in an advertisement? Those days are long gone. Inevitably, the world evolves and those who refuse to conform to the new standard are left in the dust wondering how they steered wrong. MTV changed everything when it first aired; Napster did the same two decades later; Apple continued the trend with the introduction of the iPod and iTunes. Artists need to keep up with the exponentially changing way that the public gets exposed to their music if they desire to continue being paid to practice their craft.…

    The pricier studios are usually found in the larger areas associated with the music industry, like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, or Atlanta. Smaller areas, such as Montgomery, Birmingham, and Mobile tend to stay under $100 per hour, but usually cost more than $50 per hour, depending on the quality of the studio. Around Montgomery, the least expensive professional studio that advertises regularly offers digital recording services for as little as $50 per hour. The Cage will offer studio time at a very reasonable $25 per hour, with blocks of time available for negotiable package prices. Our goal here is to focus on the musician or customer without them having to worry about watching the clock or paying more than they can afford.…
