Wumpscut

This cult EBM / industrial / darkwave project «end of the world». Severe vocals, bleak electronics, orchestra sounds and hard rhythm - this is what is known: wumpscut:. The only person behind the name of this German Rudi Rattsinger (Rudy Ratzinger), refuses to give concerts in clubs or represent his music alive. Rudy was a rarity, since the earliest days of its creation is strictly limited print runs of their works, which led to their complete disappearance from store shelves and since then, most are resold for unimaginable amounts.

Black Sabbath My Opinions

My Opinion It is my pleasure to voice my comments about the mighty Black Sabbath. I count black Sabbath among the most influential musical acts in the rock genre and particularly hard rock.At the time when Sabbath was developing their act leading up to 1970 album Black Sabbath, there was nothing in that time frame that could be characterized as really heavy music. Led zeppelin at that period was heavier than most. Sabbath was tackling some of the same occult subjects that were loosely covered in some of Zeppelin's earlier stuff. Sabbath was also adding a musical [...]

Karaoke Music

Karaoke bars are quite popular these days. People come here to hang out and have fun. The word "karaoke" is derived form a Japanese word and means "empty orchestra".

So, anybody who is interested can sing along using a microphone, usually the lyrics are also displayed .Some restaurants also have adopted this concept and they either have their in house singer or sometimes even visitors can sing.

TV is bad, but it's still king

There's something a little unseemly about a news anchor proclaiming his own network's broadcast to be a "historic event", as Wolf Blitzer did hyping Monday night's CNN/YouTube Democratic presidential debate. The results did not disappoint those of us expecting to be disappointed. Instead of moderator Anderson Cooper asking the candidates questions prepared by CNN staff, CNN staff waded through thousands of videos of people asking questions, picked a few to play and then had Cooper handle follow-ups. The results were, at times, cuter than ordinary, and at other times more aggravating than usual, but they were mostly [...]

Swinging Doors

Today we're proud to present you with the Merle Haggard portion of The Big Rock Candy Mountain Top 100 Drinking Songs. In my very humble estimation, Haggard, the working man's poet, may be one of the most important artists of the last 50 years. Hag could veer with ease from a hard "fuck you" persona to a troubadour of heartbreak, often in the same song. Beloved by punks and honkytonk purists
