		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s Dark Was The Night track comes to us from a guy named Sufjan Stevens. It&#8217;s a cover of the Castanets&#8217; &#8220;You Are The Blood,&#8221; originally on Ray &#038; rotating Co&#8217;s 2004 album Cathedral (keeping it in the Asthmatic Kitty family, see). For his updated take, Stevens replaces the original&#8217;s minimal gothic atmospherics with crazed keyboarding, carnival percussion, high-pitched vocalisms, and layers of general instrumental zaniness until a soft, Sufjan-y return. Take a listen. It sounds like he decided to put every piece of equipment in his studio to use.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I couldn&#8217;t sleep last night because of exam I had today so I watched German MTV after midnight and I saw interesting programme called US vs. UK. It was about many things but also about indie bands and emo bands. I didn´t know that they are distinguishable. Well consider yourself. ( I was surprised myself&#8230; Didn´t know much about emo as such).</p>
<p>Indie comes from  independent and is characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture. In the UK, indie music charts have been compiled since the early 80s. The word &#8220;indie&#8221; is often used to refer specifically to various genres or sounds in a realm of music that runs parallel to more commercial music.</p>
<h3>All about Indie</h3>
<p>Indie is not strictly a genre of music although the term is often used to reference the sound of specific bands and the bands they have influenced, but is often used as a term covering a wide range of artists and styles, connected by some degree of allegiance to the values of underground culture. Indie artists are concerned more with self-expression than commercial considerations. Indie artists of any particular time often go against the prevailing trends.</p>
<p>The term indie is now used to identify variety of bands like The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, The Kooks, Interpol&#8230;</p>
<h3>All about EMO</h3>
<p>Emo is a genre of music and has come to describe several independent variations of music originally in the USA. The classification of bands as &#8220;emo&#8221; is often controversial. In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk. In later years, the term emocore, short for &#8220;emotional hardcore&#8221;. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during performances.</p>
<p>Bands have gone to great lengths to explain why they don&#8217;t qualify as &#8220;<em>emo</em>&#8220;. In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarities, a common fashion sense, or because of the band&#8217;s popularity within the emo scene not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre.</p>
<p>The term emo is used to identify a wide variety of bands like Death Cab for Cutie ( emo band??? ), Fall Out Boy, From First to Last, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, The Used , Underoath&#8230;</p>

Indie music is a type of alternative rock which exists in the independent music world. The word is periodically used to refer to all underground music, and is the opposite of indie pop music. Indie rock music places an emphasis on electric instruments such guitars and drums. Musicians in the genre are also known for using abstract sounds. The term indie rock is used because musicians work under smaller record labels instead of the major record companies.</p>
<p>Though indie rock isn&#8217;t technically a genre, it is considered to represent the underground culture in many aspects. Indie artists are known for demanding a large amount of creative control over their music, and this is something which often alienates them from larger companies. Indie artists will strictly rely on word of mouth, tours, and independent radio stations in order to promote their music. Many of the popular artist will end up becoming popular with mainstream audiences, and may be signed by large record labels.</p>
<p>In the US indie music is considered to be a spin off from alternative rock. The movement is believed to have been started during the 1970s or 1980s. The indie rock music of the 1980s had a sounds which were described as being heavy and distorted. By the 1990s, indie music groups such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam became mainstream, and the genre became more widespread. Once the genre became popular, major record companies begin investing large amounts of money in it.</p>
<p>Once this happened, the term &#8220;alternative rock&#8221; became more of a misnomer. Traditionally, many musicians who have signed with major record companies were considered to be &#8220;sell outs&#8221; by their hardcore fans. My Original Music is a indie music site located at myoriginalmusic.com. Here you can find music by independent artists from all over the world. Today, indie rock is a term which has come to describe a wide variety of music. The term indie rock has been applied to psychedelic folk, synth-pop, and post-punk.</p>
<p>Sometimes the term indie rock becomes blurred, and some believe that the word will soon disappear much like alternative rock did. Mainstream artists such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys have been known to reach high levels on the indie music charts, especially in the United Kingdom. Some mainstream artists have even been signed to independent record labels. Many popular indie music artist become mainstream, and once this happens, they are no longer independent.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that many indie artists become mainstream, this is not always the case. In fact, most independent artists are not mainstream, and do not wish to be. Money may be a motivating factor, but many artists play their music for the passion and not the money. Many major record labels exert a large amount of control over their artists, and the music which is sold is more often the product of the record companies than the artists themselves. Because of this, many artists have fought with the major record labels over creative control of their music.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fender® is currently one of the premier electric guitar manufacturers out there. The instrument manufacturing aspect of the company had its beginnings in 1946 when Leo Fender began building them. However, the company actually started in 1938 and was called Fender’s Radio Services. He was actually a skilled technician who repaired radios, phonograph players, amplifiers, and other electronic instruments.</p>
<p>His experience repairing amplifiers actually marked the beginning of the Fender® manufacturer as we know it today. As a technician he had first hand knowledge of the design problems and issues. He began building his own amps in an effort to solve some of these problems.</p>
<p>He then partnered with Clayton Orr Kauffman to form a company called K &#038; F Manufacturing Corp. which specialized in various electric devices and instruments (they made and designed them as well as sold them). Together they created an electric Hawaiian steel guitar. It was shortly after this that Fender and Kauffman had different visions for the business. Kauffman wanted to focus more on repair and Fender wanted to focus on the design aspect. This is when Fender started his company, the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Corporation and is now called the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.</p>
<p>Fender® played a huge role in creating solid body guitars and making them widely available. One of their most popular models, the Fender® Stratocaster, or ????Strat???? for short was the first electric guitar with a solid body. Each year, they expand on their current guitar line while still making those old favorites available.</p>
<p>Now, there are over 26 styles of Fender® electric guitars available. The Stratocaster line has expanded to include special series modeled after celebrity artists such as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Other models include other Stratocaster models, the Toronado, the Jazzmaster, the Bronco, and the Mustang. For a complete list, visit the official Fender® website.</p>
<p>Fender® also boasts a list of artists who play their electric guitars. These include Sting, Eric Johnson, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Yngwie Malmstein, Roscoe Beck, and Robert Cray. For a complete list of artists and their profiles you can visit the Fender® website.</p>
<p>Here is what some users have to say about their Fender® guitars:</p>
<p>Fender ’62 Stratocaster Reissue</p>
<p>The tone is fantastic. you really get those screaming highs and the piano like projection of the low strings is gorgeous. through my line 6 flextone II amp it&#8217;s just a HUGE tone. great looks. great neck, great pickups, no shoddy parts anywhere! refreshing at this price. its an utterly brilliant package and it&#8217;s the business. epiphone, ibanez&#8230;they cant rival this. great super 250&#8217;s strings. oh yeah&#8230;free deluxe gig bag too&#8230;winner!</p>
<p>Fender Deluxe Fat Strat</p>
<p>I love the array of sounds. The texas special pickups are hot, and between the 5 pickup combinations with a little tweaking on the tone adjustment, i can&#8217;t think of a tone you can&#8217;t get out of this guitar. The neck is smooth, and construction is solid. The Floyd Rose tremelo is easy to make quick tune adjustments with…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rock is a form of popular music from the mid 20th century which typically features a vocal melody (often with vocal harmony) that is supported by accompaniment of electric guitars, a bass guitar, and drums, often with a strong back beat.</p>
<h2>History of rock music</h2>
<p>Rock music, where did it all begin? Believe it or not a black man who played black music, originally founded rock music in the mid 50s, this man was Chuck Berry. Rock became popular almost over night, and was accepted with open arms by the younger generations. This was largely due to younger generations who were excited by the thought of having music that expressed their rebellious streak and their desires to promote anti-conformism.</p>
<p>This style of music is a far cry from the modern rock music of today that has evolved over the decades and branched out into a multitude of different genres and sub-genres to create music that is more a way of life than entertainment. However, the still prominent fact that rock is a form of self-expression and non-conformist desire still remains strong even after all this time.</p>
<p>Rock music grew stronger and stronger with idols such as Elvis Presley, around this time many of the black rock and roll artists left the rock music scene and in their place were a host of other white rockers with a style and look all of their own.</p>
<p>After Elvis Presley&#8217;s famous entrance, other well known rock idols and bands started popping up from everywhere, but something was lost along the way, rockers started losing sight the whole reason that rock and roll had become popular in the first place, which was non conformist and rebellious attitudes.</p>
<p>During this time rock, took a huge nosedive with the younger generations, who were uninterested in a mixture of country music, folk songs, and rock music. This was in the late fifties and musicians such as Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers were foremost rockers in the rock music scene.</p>
<p>Just as things were looking bleak, *Bob Dylan* entered the scene during the Vietnam War and held the heart and attention of many youth of the era with his songs of the Vietnam War and civil rights. Around this time, the Beach Boys changed the rock music scene with their new style of rock.</p>
<p>California had its own unique spin on rock and roll, which contained very sophisticated and vocal harmonies; this style of rock music was a change from the empathetic shouting that had first been introduced by the black musicians in the mid 50s.</p>
<p>In the early sixties, Britain took on a whole new aspect of rock and created a rage with bands such as the Rolling Stones and the Animals. During this era, the Yard birds also debuted and although they were in the shadows of the Rolling Stones, they were in fact the beginnings of something great, the musicians from this band were later on to revolutionize rock music all over again.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, it was the birth of the Beatles that created a worldwide mania and the beginning of rock music as a business was really born. Following the Beatles, the second generation of rockers were the Kinks and the Who, the Who had changed rock music forever with their mechanically amplified guitars and songs dedicated to the angry frustrated youth of the 60s</p>
<p>The seventies saw the death of Jimmy Hendrix, and the Doors Jim Morrison, and rock music cooled down. New bands, such as Nirvana and the Eagles, began a more peaceful revival of country music mixed with soft rock. The seventies were characterized by a quieter time in rock music.</p>
<p>The nineties saw the age of electronic music, and this new rage spread all over the world, and saw an era of many different genres of rock music, blended music and dance music mixed together. The 90s were also the decade of heavy metal and bands such as Guns and Roses and Metallica. This style of music split into a myriad of other sub-genres such as the funk-metal of Red-Hot-Chilli-Peppers, Rage Against the Machine and Faith No More.</p>
<p>It is hard to believe that today&#8217;s rock music began with a single black man, singing a hybrid type of the blues, and flourished over the last five decades to become not only a choice, but also a way of life.</p>
<p>Rock music has evolved to become an array of different styles and sub categories, which provide enjoyment for a multitude of different tastes in music. What the future holds for rock music may not be known, although it is safe to say the rock music will still be around for the next five decades.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach.</p>
<p>Indie music is a type of alternative rock which exists in the independent music world. The word is periodically used to refer to all underground music, and is the opposite of indie pop music. Indie rock music places an emphasis on electric instruments such guitars and drums. Musicians in the genre are also known for using abstract sounds. The term indie rock is used because musicians work under smaller record labels instead of the major record companies.</p>
<p>Though indie rock isn&#8217;t technically a genre, it is considered to represent the underground culture in many aspects. Indie artists are known for demanding a large amount of creative control over their music, and this is something which often alienates them from larger companies. Indie artists will strictly rely on word of mouth, tours, and independent radio stations in order to promote their music. Many of the popular artist will end up becoming popular with mainstream audiences, and may be signed by large record labels.</p>
<p>In the US indie music is considered to be a spin off from alternative rock. The movement is believed to have been started during the 1970s or 1980s. The indie rock music of the 1980s had a sounds which were described as being heavy and distorted. By the 1990s, indie music groups such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam became mainstream, and the genre became more widespread. Once the genre became popular, major record companies begin investing large amounts of money in it.</p>
<p>Once this happened, the term &#8220;alternative rock&#8221; became more of a misnomer. Traditionally, many musicians who have signed with major record companies were considered to be &#8220;sell outs&#8221; by their hardcore fans. My Original Music is a indie music site located at myoriginalmusic.com. Here you can find music by independent artists from all over the world. Today, indie rock is a term which has come to describe a wide variety of music. The term indie rock has been applied to psychedelic folk, synth-pop, and post-punk.</p>
<p>Sometimes the term indie rock becomes blurred, and some believe that the word will soon disappear much like alternative rock did. Mainstream artists such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys have been known to reach high levels on the indie music charts, especially in the United Kingdom. Some mainstream artists have even been signed to independent record labels. Many popular indie music artist become mainstream, and once this happens, they are no longer independent.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that many indie artists become mainstream, this is not always the case. In fact, most independent artists are not mainstream, and do not wish to be. Money may be a motivating factor, but many artists play their music for the passion and not the money. Many major record labels exert a large amount of control over their artists, and the music which is sold is more often the product of the record companies than the artists themselves. Because of this, many artists have fought with the major record labels over creative control of their music.</p>
