Hardcore Punk: Social Distortion
The iconic grey X Face Zip Up Hoodie memorializes a band that has withstood the test of time. Social Distortion has been around since 1978 and even disbanded in 1985. Luckily for hardcore punk fans, the band got back together in 1986 and has been producing albums marked by their distinctive and melodic rockabilly sound. This grey, zip up hoodie features the band's name, Social Distortion, written in metallic silver across the front. The logo of a skeleton holding a cigarette is sandwiched between the two words in the band's name. Of course the lettering and imagery is just as twisted as the band's collective persona as societal misfits. Would you expect a punk band to be represented in any other way?
Hard Rock: Disturbed
For something with a little more color, fans of the band Disturbed might like the classic Blue Fade Zip Up Hoodie. This metal hoodie features the gothic imagery of fire-eyed monster breaking free of its chains and a castle on the back. This is a metal hoodie that tells a dark story in addition to keeping one warm. This band came together in 1996 and has been producing hard rock albums ever since. While their sound may be hard to pin down, this band likes to focus on quality and artistry rather than keeping up with trends.
Heavy Metal: Biohazard
The Rockers Pullover Hoodie pays tribute to the band, Biohazard. With an all black background this pullover metal hoodie features a bright orange emblem on the front and the band's name on the back in a way that exudes a certain post-apocalyptic feel. This band has been striking its own chord since getting together in 1987. These pioneers were one of the first bands credited with fusing elements from hardcore punk, heavy metal and hip-hop. While going through many label changes and differences of opinion, Biohazard has produced its most recent album in 2012. Biohazard also began a tour in January 2012. This hoodie is a perfect way to show support for this band when it comes to town. Of course, wearing it the day after the concert will show off a thriving social life.
From the long-standing bands to the fledgling groups, a metal hoodie allows you to be a part of music history. Whether someone is a traditionalist wearing logos from classic metal bands or a cutting edge music enthusiast that supports a group from its humble beginnings, a sweatshirt is the only way to showcase band loyalty.

Easy Piano Songs for Kids
Which piano songs do kids consider easy enough to play and enjoy? And why hasn't this list changed for decades? You'll find the reason has as much to do with familiarity as it does with difficulty.
Kids rarely want to play music that isn't familiar to them. Even the best song, presented with verve and gusto by the teacher, will likely produce a scowl on a child's face if they haven't heard it before, somewhere. This is especially true with younger children.
This actually presents great difficulties for piano teachers, who find their repertoire limited by what the child can recognize.
And some kids have heard almost nothing, so this can be a chore. Or, if they have a wider listening experience, they might like songs that are entirely too hard to play.
For example, take Taylor Swift. Almost all kids have heard these songs and they sound deceptively simple. But they are notoriously difficult for smaller children to play because of their rhythmic complexity: try as they might, it is very hard for a kid to make Taylor Swift sound like Taylor Swift for more than a few measures.
But if we are dealing with younger kids, here are the songs they will most likely recognize, and be able to play:
JINGLE BELLS, MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB, LONDON BRIDGE, CHOPSTICKS, WHEELS ON THE BUS and OLD MACDONALD are at the top of the list because they contain only white keys.
As soon as black keys are included in the song, the difficulty rises exponentially in the child's mind. In my experience, kids watch your hands when you demonstrate the song, and calculate mentally the difficulties. If it seems too hard, they will refuse even if they love the music.
Here's a list of songs that have black keys but may be negotiable for kids:
FUR ELISE (Beethoven)DECK THE HALLS, STAR SPANGLED BANNER and TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME.
Christmas songs have a high percentage of "all white key" layouts, so they are a valuable piano teacher resource. If you celebrate Hanukkah instead, try THE DRAYDL SONG.
The three factors that determine whether a child will accept the song are:
1. Familiarity
2. Mostly white keys, if not all white keys
3. Mostly adjacent notes: kids have difficulty keeping track of songs that leap all over the keyboard, like BLUE DANUBE.
Another strategy is to simplify and shorten songs that the child finds familiar. The opening bars of BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH SYMPHONY are likely to be familiar to a child, but you will need to simplify it to a single line, and perhaps transpose it to all white keys.
You haven't seen delight until you've watched a child decide, "I can play that song!"

Brighton: One of the UK's Premier Night-Life
Brighton is a beautiful city on the south coast of England and it is considered to be one of the UK's premier night-life hotspots and is also associated with popular music artists such as Fatboy Slim, Kirk Brandon, Tim Booth, Nick Cave, Robert Smith and Jimmy Somerville.
The Brighton music scene gives London a run for its money, and with the clubs in closer vicinity of each other it makes it easier to reach each and every one no matter what your musical taste. As the sun starts to peep out from the sea mist and summer is in the air so comes the Great Escape taking over 30 clubs in our seaside town.
The seafront has bars, restaurants, nightclubs and amusement arcades, principally between the piers. Being less than an hour from London by train has made the city a popular destination, especially with big party groups.
The atmosphere and the music in the seafront clubs is different from one to another.
Since opening to great acclaim in 2009, LIFE has become the seafront's premier mid-sized club venue.
LIFE distinguishes itself with regular big name guests from the worlds of indie, House, Dubstep, Dance and beyond, it definitely brings a touch of class to Brighton seafront clubbing. With a fully overhauled lighting and soundsystem, a stunning new interior, and quality music from the city's best promoters; LIFE has two dancefloor for the big nights, friendly atmosphere and the upstairs lounge features comfortable sofas.
Honey Club is more commercial but if you're with a big group of friends and are looking for a cheap night out, this is definitely the place. The club have 7 bars and 5 rooms so you never wait more than a minute to be served.
Honey is a dynamic late-night playground that combines non-stop energy with 5-star entertainment. Saturday nights are tipped as being the best in town. Plenty of different nights on during the week.
The Tube is is an exciting new venue, an extension of LIFE, run by the same team with a focus on providing the same great mix of music, drinks and atmosphere.
The Tube delivers an amazing experience in intimate surroundings. Saturdays at The Tube provide fresh, specialist, exciting, influential and legendary DJs every week. Expect quality music, drinks and great service in an ego free environment. As with LIFE, The Tube is a constantly evolving space that is becoming one of the city's favourites' once more.

Easy Piano Songs for Kids With Letters
The prime motivation for substituting letters for notes is to make playing piano music easier for kids. And there's no doubt that reading piano music can often be too difficult for younger kids. So here's a collection of songs for your kids presented in letters rather than notes.
It's easiest to start with songs that have a lot of adjacent notes, rather than many skips and jumps.
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB:
E D C D E E E D D D E G G
E D C D E E E E D D E D C
JINGLE BELLS
E E E E E E E G C D E
F F F F F E E E E D D E D G
E E E E E E E G C D E
F F F F F E E E E G G F D C
FRERE JACQUES
C D E C C D E C E F G E F G
G A G F E C G A G F E C C G C C G C
In any case you'll have to put stickers or some device on the keys to give kids a visual reference point.
Kids often respond more quickly to songs expressed in numbers rather than letters.
Here are the same songs in numbers:
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
3 2 1 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 1 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 2 1
JINGLE BELLS
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 2 5
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 5 5 4 2 1
FRERE JACQUES
1 2 3 1 1 2 3 1 3 4 5 3 4 5 5 6 5 4 3 1 5 6 5 4 3 1 1 5 1 1 5 1
In any case your instincts are correct: don't let kids get bogged down in reading music, but rather get them of to a fast start at the piano by substituting numbers or letters for musical notes.
Reading music is very frustrating for kids, especially at the beginning when they are eager for a fun experience.
Once you have interested them in the piano, there is ample time to slowly introduce them to the minutiae of sheet music.

How to Hire a Good Wedding DJ
An entertaining and exciting (not to mention punctual) DJ for your reception can be an arduous task, considering that with the times today, a lot of the DJ agencies are now online. This can make it very hard to distinguish a legitimate DJ company and a dodgy DJ agency who doesn't handle a lot of weddings. Here are our top tips for hiring a wedding DJ for your special day.
1. Make Sure they are licensed: A very important point is to ensure that the company you are looking at hiring are licensed and a member of the appropriate bodies within their industry and the country in which you reside in. We have been told of horrendous stories about couple's whose weddings were shut down half way due to licensing issues with the DJ. It is best to make sure before booking!
2. Online Presence & Appearance: A well presented web site and online presence is a key factor into making an informed decision about a company and is a major aspect in determining whether you are communicating with a endowed DJ agency. If the website is old and with tacky photos, then more than likely the DJ who will be coming out to your wedding will be of the same standard. A good online presence portrays a good overall agency.
3. Ask for Live Demo's: When communicating with the agency, even though they make come across as professional, it is really difficult to say until you actually hear some of their past work. In order to determine their music style and mixing abilities the DJ possesses, request a demo of the music styles you are interested in having at your wedding before you think about confirming a booking with the company or the DJ. They can send you a link on the internet to cloud hosting or even mail you a CD. Do not book until you have heard at least one live demo from a previous wedding they have been trusted with.
4. Their Song List: First of all, establish what styles and genres you would like to be played on your big day. Once this has been decided upon, you want to make sure that the DJ has the music that you want or at least is willing to go out and get it if he does not already have this. If the DJ does not have the songs you are after on his playlist, then there is no reason as to why you should make a booking with that agency and it is that simple.
5. How long have they been a Wedding DJ? The last thing you want at your wedding is a DJ with no experience. When booking, see what the minimum experience level of the DJ's at their company is. For a day as big as this, you want an experienced and well rounded disc jockey who can create an ambience, forge a mood or even start a party. Around about 3 years experience as a DJ is a good start and any less is under experienced for a high pressure day such as a wedding.
6. Cost: The cheapest option is not always the best. As the saying goes, You get what you pay for is definitely something you should be thinking about especially when trusting a company with the entertainment for your wedding. Don't be scared to spend a decent amount of your budget on music and entertainment as it is one of the bigger aspects of your wedding reception. To ensure quality, think more along the lines of value as opposed to strictly thinking about cost. What do you get when you book a dj? A low price can mean a low quality DJ coming to your wedding and this can leave you embarrassed and filled with regret.
7. Talk with the manager: Call up and have a conversation with the company you are most interested in hiring for the day. You can usually tell from their phone manner and professionalism if they are a class act or a phoney.
Please take a look at a Wedding DJ in Sydney. If all the above tips are a BIG TICK, then it is pretty safe to say that you are right to not only make a booking, but you have probably ensured an entertaining and successful wedding.

How Do You Learn To DJ?
These days it seems like everybody wants to be a DJ, don't they? Granted there's no skill in just pressing play on a CD player or plugging an iPod in but that's not really what we are talking about here. OK things have moved on significantly since the days when DJs were using reel to reel tape players and early turntables to mix with. Modern technology takes a lot of the hard work of learning to beat match out of mixing.
By removing the need to learn how to play songs at the same speed as each other you can focus on learning other aspects of DJing. It gets even better as DJ skills can easily be used as your ultimate source of income whereby you get paid for every gig that you play in. As long as you are getting paid then even at the bottom end of the scale the money isn't bad and look at it this way - you are getting paid to practice!.
One of the best pieces of advice that a beginner in the world of deejaying should make use of is with regard to how important it is that you know your music. Know your music inside out is an important aspect to your future as a DJ. Everyone would like to learn how to DJ, but the process has to be done in a professional manner. The process of learning to DJ and your chances of real success will be greatly improved by having an in depth knowledge of your music.
There's more to being a good DJ than just being able to beat match a couple of tunes and mix between them. These skills are of course important, but an in depth understanding of music will come in quite handy if you'd like to keep a crowd grooving for an entire night. Remember you aren't there for your benefit but the benefit of your crowd.
As a professional DJ you need to remember that you aren't going to just be playing music that you like for a couple of hours. Of course, part of your job is to introduce new music to your crowd but you also need to play tunes that they know and like. Depending on the venue you are playing at and the crowd you are playing to you might be able to play quite a broad spectrum of music, or you might be very much limited to one or two styles.
In much the same way as for professional musicians, just being good at what you do alone is probably not going to get you to the top as a professional DJ, unless you get lucky and are in the right place at the right time. It's debatable whether or not you should specialise in just one or a few genres of music and that depends a lot on what kind of DJ you intend on being. Specialising in a single type of music will limit your options in terms of the venues you can play in and the crowds you can play to. It will also mean you need to be really good to get to the top. Having a good all round repertoire will make you more marketable, especially in the early stages of your career, then you can think about specialising later.
Specialising tends to limit you and this may work against you especially if you're depending on the DJ jobs as your ultimate source of income. You can make good money as a DJ by playing corporate gigs but you will need to be able to play a wide range of music to do these. These are some basic tips and things to consider to get you started. Further down the line, make sure you invest in good quality equipment - these will be the tools of your trade and you don't want anything to let you down in the middle of a gig.

How To Get Labels Begging For You!
Let's face it. We all dream about labels, one day, knocking on our door and begging to sign us. So we work extra hard thinking that one day someone will notice our hard work. We work extra hard everyday and tell our peers that one day, maybe one day a major label will find us. Sorry to break it to you, but this will never happen. It is evident that a lot of music artists do not have the knowledge to succeed. This a major problem.
The truth is, labels want to see artists sell records on their own before even thinking about signing them. Once a label sees an artist can sell 10,000 units on their own, this immediately catches their attention. Unfortunately, not many artists are aware of this knowledge and continue to be misguided by false beliefs so they continue to download beats off SoundClick thinking they will get their big break.
In fact, this is detrimental to their career and will only hurt their image. As an artist, you have to prove yourself and gain respect from people already established in the music industry. Downloading beats for free is a sign that you're just trying to get in for free, but it doesn't work like that. Labels want to see you purchase quality beats and have the right paper work behind exclusives you purchase. This is called an "investment."
As an artist you should look at yourself as an entrepreneur. You produce music, and sell it. How else are you going to invest in your brand? Although, if exclusives are more than your budget, leasing is another good way to buy cheap and gain high profits. Let's say a lease costs 50 bucks, you can easily make a song and sell the single on iTunes for a dollar. This my friend, is the key to success in the music industry where you can buy the Bentleys and big houses you dream about. No more long nights staying up late for no reason. Gaining knowledge will relieve a lot of the stress from you career. If you can't obtain the right knowledge, ask Google. Seriously though, Google is an online library where tons and tons of knowledge exists. However, I recommend buying books about the music industry so you can get a better understanding of how everything works. never jump into something without having knowledge the to help you succeed in that field.
Don't Wait! Start Your Career Now!

Seriously though, Google is an online library where tons and tons of knowledge exists. However, I recommend buying books about the music industry so you can get a better understanding of how everything works. never jump into something without having knowledge the to help you succeed in that field.
