80s music

The 80s were chockful of New Wave power ballads, synthesizers, drum machines, and no shortage of Madonna and Michael Jackson.

On the Muscle of Music
As I hobble down two flights of stairs, triceps aching and the persistent pain returning to my lower back, Tennessee Ernie Ford sings into my ear all the way to the back lane exit.

If You Don’t Read This …
If you don’t read this you will probably never know of these songs or these artists. People are often restricted by the media, what they grew up listening or other factors, I am the same, although Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard and that is relatively recent but there will be none of that on here, this is taking you off the beaten path and down the unsigned road and I could drag in something for the #LikeNoOther series that I started on Seven Days In.

Top Five Punk Rock Videos
I grew up listening to all the hardest mosh pit music. But as much as I loved thrash, death metal, hardcore, industrial, and what-have-you (all the music of youth misfits and outcasts, basically) my first love was always PUNK ROCK (well, I guess you could kind of consider hardcore and all those other genres as offshoots or "crossover" or, whatever). I was quite the slam dancer back in the days when I could still go and get in such a crowd and not expect to be carried to Emergency by EMTs on a stretcher.

Exploring the line between music and noise
Back in the year 1960, a curious event unfolded on national television that left viewers both puzzled and intrigued. This was the work of an American composer named John Cage. Unlike traditional composers who used familiar musical instruments, Cage was surrounded by an assortment of everyday objects. Among the curious items were a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a pressure cooker, a rubber duck, and a collection of radios. Armed with these unconventional tools and armed with nothing but a stopwatch, Cage performed what he titled "Water Walk." The result was a symphony of unexpected sounds, delivered with utmost seriousness and precision. Some viewers found this performance to be uproariously funny, while others dismissed it as utterly absurd. However, a common question lingered in the minds of those who witnessed it: Could this be considered music at all? The answer, as it turns out, is not as straightforward as it might seem.
