Finding the Rhythm: Exploring the Beat in Music
Music has been a part of human culture for thousands of years, and one of its most fundamental elements is the beat. The beat is the steady pulse that underlies a piece of music, providing a framework for the other musical elements to fit into. It is what makes music feel rhythmic and gives it a sense of momentum and energy.

Raindogs, Frank's Wild Years and Swordfishtrombones - A Little of The Genius Of Tom Waits
Introduction I have a lot of CDs close to my desk when I work (my collection might be as high as five thousand) and some days I just pull one out without looking at what it is. Today I pulled out "Raindogs" by Tom Waits which was released in 1985 and was part of an Island Records trilogy that started with "Swordfishtrombones" (1983), continued with "Raindogs" and was completed with "Frank's Wild Years" in 1987.

Dr Hook and Shel Silverstein
Introduction In the seventies I was in a band called The Bok (that I have mentioned in other posts) and one day I went round to the band leader's house (Andy Marshall) and pulled out three albums wich really surprised me. This must have been 1975 or 1976 and my musical taste was still developing, and though Andy was a year older than me (I think) his tastes were more esoteric than mine on the time.

Bad Bunny, set adrift on controversy and social consciousness
Music is a scenario reflecting real life in so many ways. Urban artists can tell a lot about it and that’s how music distances itself from plain romantic, generic love songs to get into swampy grounds. A place where eager musicians craft songs with raw lyrics and tell the world how they feel about society, relationships, or just sex.

After Hours: Three Years Later and It's Still Outstanding
I fucking love The Weeknd's music. Let's just start there. I love it. He makes sad music for stunning strippers, and that's just such an incredible niche??? What else is a mortal to do when those blood thrumming beats and haunted words of plea and warning greet you . . . Did he not create this art in such a way as to softly, quietly allow stray tears to accent your highlighter under the blacklight as you lost a couple of layers- of clothes, fears, restraints- and drank cranberry vodkas? Please! Let me know if I'm wrong.
