Music That Makes You Feel Something Pt.1: Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2
I remember the first time I heard of the Isley Brothers. I was about 9 years old and I was with my brother and my friend at the time. We had just put on Friday (starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker). The great intro to that movie is "Tryin' to See Another Day" by The Isley Brothers. I remember my friend being amazed by the music and the dirty, funky, vibe that emanated from it. We looked it up and saw that it was made by the Isleys. It was probably the first time that my friend had ever even heard music like that and he was immediately hooked. For a good while after, every time we'd met up, we would play and sing that song. And although the song isn't my personal favorite from the band, it was my introduction to them. It was since then that they had become a personal classic for me. With that being said, "Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2" is why I'm here writing this today, and is, in fact, one of my favorite songs by the group. I wanted to write a little bit about why I love this song and hopefully (for those who don't know it already), put you on to some new timeless music.

Top 20 Greatest Album Closing Songs
Although there has been a lot of discussion since the turn of the century and the advent of music streaming services about whether or not the album as a concept will survive. Many artists still present their latest bodies of work in the form of an album. I remember when CDs came along and replaced cassettes. As a teenager, I loved CDs and the whole "listening to an album" experience.

"Mastering the Art of Reading Music: Understanding Treble and Bass Clefs"
Reading music is an essential skill for any musician, as it allows them to understand and perform written compositions. The process of reading music involves interpreting the symbols and memorandum set up on a distance of music in order to play the correct notes on an instrument. At its utmost introductory position, reading music involves understanding the layout of a distance of music, including the staff, clefs, and note values. The staff, which is the foundation of distance music, is made up of five vertical lines and four spaces, on which notes are placed.

Songs Without Words
Introduction When I was in the Bok the band leader Andy Marshall described instrumentals as "Songs Without Words" and we had a few of those, though none made it to our demo tape that you can hear on Soundcloud link below (the pic of my ugly mug) if you feel like listening to something John Peel described as "primitive" and Stiff Records just sent us a pre-printed rejection letter. Rabid wanted to put out "Happy Birthday"/"Mystery Band" as a double "A" side single but they folded before that happened.
