Techno Genre

Techno music came out in the 1980's, it was influenced by the popular electronic music from the 70's in Detriot, where this type of music was born. Techno was used mostly for the clubs, it gave an urban take on music of German Musicians. The style emerged to what it became when musicians took cheap, used electronic instruments and abused them in ways never intended to get the type of music that they got. Since techno hit the clubs in Chicago and New York it was popular throughout the whole 80's. Back in their days people like:
-Juan Atkins
-Kevin Saunderson &
-Derrick May

Were known as the “Belleville Three” They were the top of techno music. One of the best known early techno songs is "Alleys of your Mind", by techno artists Cybotron. Works from Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. Sadly didn't make the charts, but were very effective because they were played in major clubs in the US. In 1988. Now days, we have dj’s that mostly do techno’s. Example: DJ Blend, he is a well known techno/electro dj. He has many mixes that hit up the clubs of our days, people love and enjoy his work a lot.
Here are a few of his mixes. (If interested)
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtovqcYKW2Y called club mix

There is many types of techno music that goes under that genre of music here are some examples of different types:
- House - Disco
- electro - Industrial
- Technonic - Dumpstep
These all fit under techno music because they are the same type of thing just different kind of sounds and beats to their songs.

The value of this genre is mainly to give a happy upbeat feeling. The point of this type of music is to make you feel the beat and just let go to the song the way you want. Listing to Techno always puts people in a better mood and makes them express themselves their own way. Techno has maybe changed a little, like the songs and sounds but the value of this genre will never change.

copy writing

In this indenstry everyone copy writes with out even knowing it. I doupt younger kids who want music on their ipod knows that they are doing a crime.I think that being able to add music on our computers and ipods should be as okay as buying a CD. I do not think that when people keep adding songs to their playlists by downloading them will make them think it is their own creation. Using Girl Talk as an example, that "band" creates his own creation by taking parts of other already created songs. He remix's it in his own way. D-j's remix songs all the time, making their own kind of songs by doing the same thing as girl talk pretty much. Taking songs mixing them with their own beats and sounds. Why dont we hear of d-j's copy writting? There is d-j's out there that take songs from well known artist and remix's them their own way. I find that if d-j's, girl talk, or anyone out there that does and enjoyes the same thing are allowed and are able to take songs to help them create their own stuff. Wouldint artist be admired with people loving their work? Using what they made to make other types of music?

I think that poeple take it out of hand because if they make the music already availble to the internet obviously people will want to download so they can beable to lsiten to it when ever they want. If copy writing is so wrong why dont they have frostwire, limewire and any other sites put down and illegal to have as a site? They should make it impossible to download so people can give up and the government can be satisfied.

After seeing this film i think that copy writing in that kind of way is okay. If he took the whole songs and mixed them all together would be different because that is taking the whole creation. Since he only takes parts or certain sounds from songs it is not as bad. I think that is a creative way to create a new type of music.If songs are posted online it gives us a more of an oportutiny to use it. If artisits did not want their art or work online for people to hear or see then why would they even post it up making it availible? They should not be surprised that people are into what they have done since they made it availible to the whole net. If someone took my full art work to make it their own thing it would be upsetting knowing they are getting money for something i did. If someone took parts from my art and people know the true artist then it does not matter to me because people know that I was the artist of it and if they know the true artist and know that the "remix" artist is not the one who made it then thats all that should matter. People should be able to do what they want but there is a limit to copy writing, but in this film i find that what he is doing IS his own creation just getting insipred by the songs out there.

Silent Flim Blog

Although some people enjoy and love watching silent films, I can not sit and watch any kind of old or silent flim movies. Most silent flims are old because now days the movies have sounds and colored flims. For the type of intrests I have, I would rather watch a movie with sound, our modern typeof music playing rather then just a quite not interesting movie. Look at the difference in picture of silent flims and now day films, and anylise the difference and which seems more appealing to spend your money on.
Silent Films-

Modern films-

Individuals can tell the difference of these two pictures. By looking at the colors, the " probs " they have, the expression on their faces can tell you want kind of movie it will be about and what kind of emotion or the feeling these movies/films will give you. If you were to walk into a movie theatre and see these two films being promoted to watch, which one would you personally be more intressted in? Which one would you want to spend your money watching and enjoying.

Back when silent films were really intressting and really entertaining, was back when they did not have much technology of course. If people from back then that watch what we watch now they would be over whemled and would be wondering how it has such a drimatic change in films and movies.

Music Video Analysis

The artist to this song is Tim Berg. I never new of Tim Berg until my brother showed me this song. Reality could for sure be like this, bromances, going to Vegas, hitting up the casino, being drunk in a hotel room. People live like that and "love life". I never herd anyone who has done these things and said they did not have fun or it was a waste or anything negative. It's something everyone would want to do, not many do it though. Yeah, I think that there's a stereotype in this video. Think about the moto " What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Everyone know's or says, that when you go to Vegas, no one is sober anymore. At some point if you are visiting the amazing Las Vegas, you will be either, drunk as eff or high as eff. The values that this video shows are;
- Friends are more important then family, they "love you more".
- "Bro's before hoes".
- When your life gets hard, go to Vegas& don't be sober:).
I don't agree with all these values, only with the first one. In some families it feels like the friends you have love you more then your own family. You never know what the situation is with people, but it does happen. It also shows never judge people unless you know them, something a lot of people have a problem doing. This video appeals to certain teenagers, the ones that are into drugs, partying, and alcohol.Would like and enjoy this video a lot. The teen's that are into books, school, work would watch this video and criticize it, would not enjoy it at all, and prob not waste their time even watching it. Over all I personally love this video and the music. The only part i HATE is the ending, how they just leave her, the first time i watched it, my mouth dropped. lmao. But I still love it and can't get over the song<3.

1st blogg

I believe that, thinking over all media is pretty important in my life. The type of media that is not so important in my life would be watching TV, I only watch certain shows, eg: Jersey shore, Family guy, Teen mom and sometimes family channel. I enjoy and watch movies more often then watching TV. All the horror, funny, action and chick flick movies are my favorite. The types of media i can not live with out would for sure be my music. I listen to music almost all day and I can never get enough of it. The other type of media I spend a lot of my time doing is being on the Internet. I'm usually on Facebook or Youtube. Using the Internet, like Facebook and MSN helps me keep in touch with friends I have in different cities. I like the new technology that they have made in these past few years, its like having a mini computer in your hand at all times. Being able to go on any website at pretty much anytime is pretty amazingly awesome. js.

I love being able to have ipod touches, getting to have cameras on them, recordings, upload fun and crazy app’s, i cant even imagine what we will have in a few years. Im kinda scared to know aswell, its gonna be interesting.

I think that teenagers these days use the internet for far more things then what it should be used for. Girls mostly use the internet to start drama, they think its their right to do or say whatever they want. They go on a side called Formspring and press the "annon" button and tell other people what they really think of them and act like they diidnt do anything wrong. I find the Internet is making people more fake by having the acsses to all these sites that can do such.

anywaaaaaaaays, this sums up my thoughts on the questions asked, pce<3.
