My next door neighbor, Jack, is a great fan of Amy Winehouse. Surprisingly, he told me that he doesn’t know much about her, except for her music. I told him that I had information on numerous websites that he could log on to know all about Amy Winehouse. She’s so big these days that there are entire sites dedicated to her. Unfortunately not all those sites are accurate. One site called Chickipedia has proven to be quite reliable. They actually have details about Ms. Winehouse that I didn’t know. It’s a pretty good site.

Apple is in the process of setting up unlimited music downloads from its iTunes library. They’re currently in negotiation with the major recording labels to determine a fair premium price . Currently their proposal is a monthly fee of $7 to $8.

As technology improves and illegal music downloads increase, this would allow Apple, in my opinion, to increase it’s market share of online music sales. Because, even at the $0.99 cent per music download cost, a number of iPod users still prefer to acquire memberships with P2P file sharing sites. And with this option, they are less inclined to be prosecuted for copywrite infringement.

The major recording labels it seems, are finally accepting the simple fact that they’re absolutely NOT going to recoup their market share in music sales they lost in the past decade. Technology will not allow it.

Napster claims to have over 6 million tracks and 760,000 subscribers. So they’ll compete with iTunes at 99 cents per MP3 download and $9.95 for the full album. But they’re really hoping a lot of folks will sign up for their unlimited MP3 downloads subscription, their real money maker.

Musicals go in and out of style but some classics remain perennial favorites. Oklahoma the musical contains catchy songs to sing along with and captures the imagination with its tale of the rivalry between farmers and cowboys in 1906.

As a computer trainer, I get asked a lot of computer questions, and one question I get asked is which are the best computer speakers to buy.

I succeed in my business by trying to give honest answers and not automatically directing people to the most high-tech and sophisticated audio there is. As an honest businessman, I have to say there is no simple answer.

If you are an ordinary user, the best computer speakers for you might just be the ones your computer came with. Most laptops come with computer speakers that have a pretty high level of fidelity. What most don’t have, unfortunately, is much bass.

There are certain musical artists that appeal across different genres and attract an audience from all age groups. This is the case with Bette Midler, a singer and actress, with a long and distinguished career. Some Bette Midler songs have achieved classic status and she is known for her passionate delivery of ballads and up tempo numbers.

Her varied career has brought four Grammy awards, an Emmy and a Tony. She has also received two nominations for an Academy Award.

Barry Manilow formed a friendship with Midler when he accompanied her on piano. This led to him producing her first album in 1973, called The Divine Miss M, a title taken from one of her nicknames. Many singles and albums followed, boosted by her exciting stage shows and film and theatre performances.

An excerpt of an article about the Lion King musical

Unless you’ve been living on some other planet, you’ve either seen the movie The Lion King, or you’re at least familiar with it. Even if you’ve seen the movie dozens of times, there is nothing like seeing the Lion King musical live and in person. Sure, you know the plot and the ending.

Almost any band who is around for longer than ten years will eventually put out a greatest hits album. Most of the time these are good sellers, but most fans who already have all of the albums will not bother to buy. This is why many times the band putting out the greatest hits album will include a few bonus tracks that you cannot get anywhere else. They say they are doing this is a bonus to the fans, but as far as I’m concerned, it is not be more than a gimmick to get you to buy a new album.

I don’t often buy the greatest hits albums even if I love the band. One exception was Journey’s greatest hits. I bought this album because there was one particular song that I had to have, but I did not have any of their other albums. I decided to go with the greatest hits album because there were other songs on there my husband liked. That meant we could buy one album of their best songs without making an investment into all of the albums they had ever produced.

The world hasn’t seen anything like Beatlemania. Every time, the Beatles took to the stage, they were greeted by screaming fans. They couldn’t even hear themselves play. This, combined with some security scares and the endless traveling, persuaded the band to stop touring. Their last official live concert was the Beatles Candlestick Park performance in San Francisco in August 1966.

The 24,000 fans in the stadium that day, did not realise that they were witnessing an historical event. The Beatles had not announced their imminent retirement from live shows. Because of their inability to hear what they were playing on stage, the performances had become shorter and shorter. In fact, this last Beatles Candlestick Park concert only lasted, just over thirty minutes.
