Loaded Records

BPM is an independent record shop and privately run in the early 90’s and later became one of the large markets for the local electronic music. It is a record store, which sells CDs and vinyl. The large growth in sales of the vinyl and CD records contributed to BPM grow into a record distributor with independent records labels at home and overseas as well as supplying their up-to-date music to the record stores. Nevertheless, the record shops are recently losing market share to Web-based shops…

The Pitch I lived and worked as a musician in Los Angeles, California through the1990’s, I am a guitar player/singer -songwriter. During that time I had worked with amazing musicians, engineers, producers, and over time, I had developed a good network of relationships within the industry, which is a great position to be in, because, in LA, it’s not what you know, but who you know. Over the years, I had my own project going, a band called Cranium Lounge. This band was run by myself and my singer…

“What law, you ask, do I satisfy with what I say?”—The Unwritten Law The title heroine’s famous defense speech in lines 995-1005 of Antigone has prompted the view that the play is extremely enigmatic. It is a passage that has been read with astonishment and demands detailed explanation. In her speech, Antigone provides what appears to be a reason for her burying her brother Polynices against the orders of her uncle and King, Creon. Antigone claims, however, that she would not have deliberately…

Vinyl Record Materials Shellac Materials devoted to make records have changed and evolved several times over the years. The earliest disc records produced between 1889-1894 were made of various materials including wax and rubber. Shortly after, a shellac based compound had been experimented with leading to it becoming the standard material. Each manufactures exact formula varied, but records were typically made using cardboard and fiber which were coated with a shellac (wax) resin. These shellac…

For my experiential learning experiences I had the pleasure of visiting both the Ahtanum Ridge Clinic and the Yakima Valley Regional Hospital medical records. Before visiting these facilities I constructed questions beforehand to ensure I would not only have a valuable experience, but be able to compare facilities as well. These questions were; 1. What is something about the system you deal with that you know but not many other people you come in contact with know? 2. How has the change between…

If you’re squeamish, turn back. This isn’t a good place for you to be. If not, well, it’s possible that I’m going to change that. So listen up and listen quickly. It’ll be over before you know it. I used to love popping zits. There were days where all I could do was stand in front of my bathroom mirror and pop what pimples dared to show on my skin. The problem was, as far as my face goes, I have almost none there. But when it came to my body, there were quite a few problem areas I could attack.…

Though there are many great and successful entrepreneurs, I have decided to do my research paper on Richard Branson. Richard Branson is the founder and creator of Virgin Group. Virgin Group generate millions of dollars yearly and are very profitable. Not is only Branson a successful entrepreneur, but he is also a very unique person. He likes to think outside the box and believes that if someone has done it already then you should not do it twice. I believe this is one of his strongest traits and…

in the United States. The Civil Rights Movement caused tension throughout the nation. Despite all the confusion, on the corner of East McLemore Avenue and College Street, an old movie theater that later became Satellite Record Store flourished into what we know today as Stax Records, or Soulsville. Soulsville was an incredible little recording studio on the corner that changed the dynamic of music, and the city. This was the birthplace of southern soul music. Soul music is a termed coined in the…

cappella versions of rapper Jay-Z’s Black Album mixed with instrumental samples off of the Beatles The White Album. Two problems arose from this album. The first was that the record label EMI retained the Beatle’s music, and the second was that the cost for a clearance fee to use the Beatles’ music is extremely high. The record label EMI decided to send cease and desist orders over the uncleared Beatles samples. DJ Danger mouse could not sell the album essentially or else be on the grounds…

Songs for Free In a song by Chance the rapper called blessings he speaks of himself and the ways that he has been blessed in the music industry. He is a very revolutionary artist and, considers himself “anti-label” meaning he produces records and distributes all of his own music while also releasing it for free. When broken down a lot of the lyrics in his song can be interpreted to mean different things. A question one could ask is what kind of message is Chance trying give in this song? Is…
