I have been meaning to write an article about the relatively new phenomena of literal videos for a couple of months, but haven’t gotten around to it. I realize that by now, everyone with an Internet connection has already heard of this concept, but oh well.
Okay, so normally I assume that when I buy used CDs they will have some slight wear and tear from normal use or possibly that the jewel case will be cracked or have a hinge broken off. No big deal, jewel cases are cheap enough to replace, and I end up rounding the edges of the booklets a bit taking them out and putting them back in the case, so a slightly worn booklet will look like the other CDs in my collection. But seriously, I received something really farked in the mail today.
Recently, while searching for a specific piece of sheet music, I stumbled across a site full of music tutorials and other resources. "Making Music Fun" is primarily aimed at elementary school children, but would be useful for anyone trying to learn to play an instrument, read sheet music, or learn other musical topics.
Now that the holidays are over, it is time for me to get back to reviewing albums. Hopefully you should see a couple of new reviews on my Music Reviews site shortly. I have a review almost finished and hope to have it up on Sunday.
For your listening enjoyment, I have rated the top ten best movie theme songs of all time – or at least of the sub-set of movies that I have seen. For the purpose of the list a theme song is defined as an opening or closing song directly related to the plot of the movie, or a recurring song that runs throughout a movie or series of movies. To qualify for the list a song must either capture the atmosphere of the movie, provide a quick, but full, synopsis or preferably both. Obviously in the case of instrumentals, giving a synopsis is impossible.
