The Stereo Turntable: Do you still remember Vinyl? Is Vinyl Dead?

By Mike Thomas

Do you love music? A breakthrough technology will let you experience your favorite songs at a deeper, more rewarding level than you're getting from digital downloads. Your iPod and MP3s are fine for music on the go, but when relaxing at home you can enter a dimension of sound that will bring you even closer to your favorite musicians. The stereo turntable, once thought to be a relic of a bygone era, is back - and it will rock your world.

Got Vinyl records lying around your house or storage room? Remember the intimate and fulfilling feeling that Vinyl brings? Even though, the digitize world of music (mp3s, ipods, wmv) had brought us more portability and convenience, it has lost touch of soul of the music. But, Worry No More? A new generation of stereo turntables allows you to discover what you have been missing all these time.

When the technology of CD evolved in the year of 1980's, a lot of people abandoned their old record players (i.e. stereo turntables), put them up for collections and flea market sales. Yes, CD was one of the greatest inventions. Nowadays, we can store tons of music in one single CD, than we ever able to finish listening in one hour of car ride. Compression of Mp3 made music more affordable, more portable, and more downloadable. However, a true music lover will never forget the warm, rich, intimate sound that only vinyl could provide. Keep it live! Stereo Turntable never completely went away, and now it offers more exciting features and possibilities than ever before.

Many of today's music lovers are too young to have any personal experience with the stereo turntable. They have grown up with CDs, MP3s and iPods. They associate the electric record player with their parents or grandparents. They may listen to some scratch artist DJs who use turntables to toy with tunes, but they have never actually purchased and listened to a vinyl record album in their own homes.

The brand-new, cutting-edge version of the stereo turntable makes music exciting and fun again. We've gotten so used to downloading music without really thinking about it or feeling connected to it. The electric record player re-establishes that connection, helping listeners establish a deep and meaningful connection with the music they love.

Vinyl records are making a comeback, news from magazines such as Time, Billiard and Wired. In the world of music, everything old is new again. It didn't take too long for anyone who loves music to realize the stereo turntable is a blast from the past that may also be the wave of the future. Quiet few musicians are now releasing their albums on both vinyl and Mp3 formats.

How does the stereo turntable combine the old with the new? The turntables themselves play vinyl records just like the ones your old fashion turntables - but there are also equipped with USB ports or card readers, which allow the listener to record vinyl albums digitally. They also have CD players and AM/FM radio to enjoy modern formats of music.

"Music just sounds better on vinyl records!" I yelled back to my hardcore DJ buddy, as we battle through CDs vs. Vinyl disagreements. "Old school" vs. "new school". Past vs. Future. Which one is right? Yes you may argue that human ear cannot tell the differences between CD quality vs. vinyl quality. Yet, if you are truly a music fanatic, you know darn well that Vinyl is the BEST!

While digital format is great for save space on your hard drive, vinyl with ZERO compression really ad-justified the true sound of the music. It just sounds much richer, more textured and more nuanced when it played through electric record player or an usb stereo turntable.

Digital Music can't be beat for the portable music that digital technology brings us. I predict stereo turntables are here to stay; in fact it might be a must-have for music fans all over the world. Music lovers and fans are craving a closer, richer, intimated connection with their favorite music, which portable devices disallowed. Stereo turntable provides that solution.

Want to have best of the new and old world? The new usb stereo turntable is intended for that purpose. It can be used for digitizing vinyl albums, while recording it can be played internal speakers and build in amps. Pretty neat huh?

Who else want to broaden music horizon and expand music experience? If you answered Yes, Stereo turntable is the new exciting revolution in the music world you cannot afford to miss. If you love music and want to listen to it the way the musicians meant for it to be heard, do yourself a favor: give the stereo turntable some love. Go get yourself one Today! - 18423

The Influence Of Guitar On Modern Music

By Tim Johnson

Everybody interested in modern music sooner or later want to ask the question, "Where did it begin?" Well, if you leave blues guitar music out, you will not have much of an answer. So let us look at where the blues came from, where it went and who it met on the way.

We will also take a look at the "blues guitar sound" and how it has its unique effect on our feelings. The blues as a musical phenomenon began around 1911 when W.C. Handy published popular songs, notably "Memphis Blues" and "St Louis Blues", which affected the hearts and souls of the black people. By the nineteen twenties the general population were beginning to hear this new music through its influence on jazz. Early blues singers like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday sang with jazz bands while others played with "jug bands" accompanied by fiddle, kazoo and washboard.

Of course to people like W. C. Handy who were brought up singing in church, the piano was the natural instrumental accompaniment to their songs. But the guitar is portable and always was popular so it had to have a place in blues and jazz. Blues guitar players like twelve string guitarist Leadbelly and future electric guitar player B.B. King were making sure the guitar would be an integral part of the blues. Other blues guitarists made their living in smoky saloons playing slide guitar using a bottle neck or the blade of a knife to fret the notes.

After the Second World War young artists like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley were wrapping the blues in a new package called "rock'n'roll" and the players of the electric blues guitar like B.B. King were heralding the arrival of the lead guitar, soon to be a great attraction for both musicians and audiences. Throughout the evolution of the blues the guitar had always taken its turn for solos in jazz bands but now it competed with the singer for the attention of the audience.

Blues guitar can be played in any key that takes your fancy and comes in three basic forms: eight bars, for example "Heartbreak Hotel", sixteen bars like "Saint James Infirmary" and twelve bars like "St. Louis Blues". For some reason the twelve bar blues form is way more singer-friendly and popular with audiences than the other two, and it is the basis of many great songs outside the blues idiom.

If you go poking around the internet you will find that the blues scales are just your garden variety major and minor scales except that the third, fifth and seventh notes are played flat. However, you may be astonished to learn that blues players managed for centuries without knowing about European musical theory. They learnt to sing and play from their families and friends just as many of the young white blues players of the nineteen sixties learnt from imitating the artists they heard on records.

And this is where the blues takes another direction. After years of imitating their idols something odd happened to the white blues guitar players in Britain and the USA. They developed their own authentic, original styles. The older blues players even began using the new arrangements of classic songs and adopting some of the unbluesy musical innovations introduced by young white guitarists like Eric Clapton. So the beat goes on. A foreign culture influences American popular music and in turn gets fresh input from a new generation of guitar players from all over the world. - 18423

HGH product Pills

By Tom William

There is a great number of HGH pills that are available in the market these days. Before buying these HGH products, it's a good thing to do research on the subject.

HGH is a short term for human growth hormone. It is created by the human pituitary gland. With the growing achievement of technology, HGH has been experimented with and is now being used as a weapon against aging. In a nation where people dream of living forever, HGH has been said as being a scientific godsend.

In the absence of injection safety and availability, anti aging companies have tried to invent the best HGH product by making a supplement that can be taken orally, and that will make the pituitary gland to produce more of the amount of hormone on its own. It's a novel idea for an anti aging product and there are a number of supplements taking this approach. The best of these may work in some people, but there are indications that they have more results when the individual taking them is young - like the actual normal production of HGH in humans, the response seems to fall with advancing age.

There are, some misunderstandings about HGH that needs to be understood and cleared. According to medical experts, there is really not large amounts of evidence to prove that HGH, when it is been made and used by injections, and prolong life and enhance the quality of life.

Sadly, many businesses that deal with the selling of HGH products make false claims to attract possible clients, people who want to look young for all eternity.

As a response to the call, the health industry has come up with solution to combat therapeutic HGH that really possesses anti-aging effects. Some of these ways include supplements that can increase the production of hormones by the human pituitary gland. Some have amino acids that can mimic and replace the HGH hormones in the human body. - 18423
