The Pure Pitch Method Review
Though not a stand-alone singing course per se, Ryan Cameron’s Pure Pitch Method has the potential to be a helpful tool for singers. The basic idea behind this course is that anyone can develop their sense of musical pitch and obtain the coveted sense of ‘perfect pitch’. In times past it was believed that only certain people were born with this ability. In my personal experience, I’ve seen people that appear to have been born with perfect pitch, though that’s not to say that it can be learned as well.

Favorite songs adult playlist (part 5) Country
Let’s start with Mr. Garth Brooks who had several songs banned from radio because of the content. This was in the 1990’s and I believe this is when the political correctness police started rear its ugly heads. If you are listening to this concert his fans know the words to his songs and do sing along. This one is the thunder rolls.

Do Vinyl Records Inspire Original Creation?
About Vinyl Records This piece is going to be an oddity because a couple of songs came to mind that I wanted to share, but there were not enough songs to create a playlist. Below is my history of recorded media that you may find interesting as it has some of my opinions, but I have recently complained that the sole attempt at originality for modern vinyl releases is colored vinyl of picture discs, which while they can be interesting, most of the time that is where it stops.

Crate Diggin' - Used Kids
Lately I have been feeling myself falling into a growing rut when it comes to the music I am listening to. Though I appreciate most genres and styles, I seem to be having Alexa play the same three bands (Sublime, Grateful Dead, and Beck) time and time again. While doing some much-needed purging around the house, I found my wife’s Victrola; a gift from a few years back that had become forgotten. Along with it, I found a couple albums I had found digging through crates at a local record shop. I became inspired.

Cleve's Halloween Playlist
Cleve’s Halloween Playlist By Cleve Taylor Wow. What a trip. I just listened to my playlist on YouTube, and I want to go to my party just to listen to my music again. It will be good to see you there, too. But the music is F I N E, and is a good listen anytime of the year. If you miss hearing it this Halloween, give it a go on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

30 years of Metallica's Black album
I’ve been thinking about writing this for a couple of days. I can’t believe it, 30 years. Last night I decided to go down memory lane and dwell deep into my recollections of this pivotal album in Metallica’s career. I searched for the album on my favorite music streaming service and let the music speak for itself, unbelievably, 29 years after my last listen to this album.

They Can Look Good
When CD came along we were persuaded by the pristine sound and their supposed longevity, but this was what I called the MCDonaldisation of music (Check my posts on Vocal for more of my opinions on this subject). You could skip tracks , skim through an album , play it in a different order using remotes and programming. The jewel case was homogenous and meant that if it got damaged then it was easily replaceable. So CDs have become generally homogenised and don't really stand out.

Metallica Was Right? - A Personal History of Music Media From The 1950s To Today
My friend Royston posted a link to this blog post from KFMX (Lubbock's Rock Station) about the legacy of illegal downloading. It sums it up in a nutshell. Although I'm in two minds about the grammar, should it be Metallica Was Right, or Metallica Were Right? Anyway, this post isn't about grammatical correctness, it's about the whole music stealing thing, and where we are at today and why we are here today musically/ It's probably best to do it roughly in temporal order so I'll do it by decades:

Screw You, Fresh Start, I'm Eating Partridge.
There is a wildly consoling air when one joins the collective affirming the wellness of their souls. And it is my soul that, surely, is well. Despite all the wrecking it has endured, despite its sores worn to open flesh from grief, despite the graves it’s managed to pull itself away from, my soul rests with resiliency.
