CD Box Sets & New Beatles Rock Band Game: 9/9/9 Is Beatles Day

By Jamie T. Winston

On 9/9/9 new remastered mixes for each of the 13 original UK studio albums that The Beatles recorded in the 1960s will be coming out.

The Beatles first released their albums on CD in the 1980s and at that time CD technology was still quite new. The mastering done for those CD is considered to be of inferior quality, which is why Beatles fans have been impatiently waiting for these new remastered CDs.

The remastered CDs are not the only Beatles stuff coming out on 9/9/9, there's also the original mono mixes of their albums through 1968's The White Album being released on CD.

This is the first time that the original mono mixes of The Beatles albums are going to be available on CD.

Mono was being phased out way back in the 1960s, so why should we listen to mono mixes in 2009? This is an understandable view but if you think of these mixes as being the originally intended mixes, it's interesting to hear them.

Mono was the standard at the time and because of that The Beatles spent a lot more time on the mono mixes than they did on the stereo mixes. In fact the stereo mixes were thrown together rather hastily in comparison.

Because so much more time was spent on the mono versions, it makes sense to consider the mono mixes to be the "real" versions of the albums. But it's not just a matter of original intention. It's also a matter of quality. Some claim that the mono mixes of albums such as Revolver & Sgt. Pepper are actually far superior to the stereo mixes.

The new Beatles Rock Band game also comes out on 9/9/9. I'm not a huge video game guy but I do love the Rock Band games, they are fun. And the Beatles game should really take it to the next level.

The graphics and game play look really awesome from the previews I've seen. Even if you're not a big video game person, I'd give the Beatles Rock Band a try if you're a fan of the band. It promises to be great fun. - 23806

Taylor Swift Tickets Dallas

By JoAnne Corboraz

Taylor Swift's musical ability is uncommon for her youth, and her songs have taken the country music world by storm and created millions of fans with her blend of pop-country. As one of the youngest songwriters to achieve so much success, her first headlining concert tour has generated excitement across the country. This year's tour includes a show in Dallas, expected to be one of the biggest shows of the season.

An unconventional rise to prominence has benefitted Swift, a girl from Pennsylvania and the daughter of a homemaker and stockbroker. At only nineteen years of age, she's come a long way from her original venues of karaoke and local theatre, although her talent has always been evident.

When Taylor had reached age twelve, she was playing guitar and she was writing music, so when she released her first smash country single, a ballad of teenage heartbreak titled "Tim McGraw", it was not as much of a surprise to those who already knew her. What was a surprise was the incredible success of the single, rising through the country charts and hitting number six. Her current album, "Fearless", dominated the same Nashville charts and also found its way onto the mainstream Top 40 charts as well.

Now Taylor Swift is headlining her first tour, one of the youngest artists to ever get top billing in so many huge venues. Some are predicting Swift will be near the top in concert tour earnings this year, with her show back on May 22 in Los Angeles' Staples Center selling out in two minutes and almost every show selling out weeks before the date of the concert. Frequently compared to Carrie Underwood, the beautiful young music prodigy Swift has risen to heights not seen in country music since Garth Brooks even without Underwood's American Idol exposure.

The concert in Dallas, Texas will be at the American-Airlines Center, which is one of the largest indoor venues in Texas. The venue is also the home to the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars. Even with a large number of tickets available, this show sold in mere minutes as well.

Dallas gets to see a lot of concerts, but observers of the city's live music calendar are excited to see what kind of show fans will get when Taylor Swift comes to Victory Park and the American-Airlines Center in September. With talent, beauty and brains, fans of every style are ready to be knocked over with her performance. - 23806

Zune Music Downloads: Things To Consider When Downloading

By Rashel Dan

In reply to iPod's dominance in the mp3 industry, Microsoft came up with Zune. Not long after its release, Zune music downloads started to make their mark in the music market as well.

WIFI - People are slowly starting to realize just how important the Zune player is in the mp3 market because of how capable a device it is. It's WIFI capability alone is something to marvel at, allowing people to share their music over-the-air while simultaneously creating community. But when choosing content, just what are the factors that affect people's downloading decisions?

Content Variety

Varied Choices - When it comes to music downloads, people have different tastes. And because of the difference in taste, there has to be a variety of content that is available to the downloading public. When it comes to Zune downloads, there is actually a pretty good selection that people of all walks of life can choose from.

Jazz, Rock and Roll, R&B to Soul, Hip Hop to Opera, Big Band Music to Rap, are only some of the several other genres you can choose from. Whatever you fancy, Zune content providers are sure to carry a selection that is to your liking. Content is also various when it comes to movies, game downloads, and software but it is music that people download the most which is why Zune content providers make sure that they can satisfy the download thirst of music lovers worldwide.

Download Speed

Even though you might have the best internet connection in the world, there are some factors that may make downloads slow. This is because many people like to download from sites in bulk amounts and if many are downloading from one site at the same time, chances are that the speeds will be less than satisfactory.

Bulk Downloads - This is one of the reasons that people look for sites that can support bulk downloads. Zune music downloads from subscription sites are fast becoming more popular and in demand so download speed is another factor in how people make their decisions about where to get their content.

Ease

Selecting the Best One - There are many content providers on the Internet that provide music for listeners with Zune players. Since there is so much competition, how does one decide which site is best to use? One major factor is how easy it is to surf a site. People want a quick fix and this means that getting to the content they want has to be easy as opening a door, getting what they want, and then closing it again. That's what content providing sites should keep in mind if they want more Zune download demands and more customers.

Cost

Most importantly, people are affected by prices. Nobody will buy a $5 mp3 if they can get the same mp3 from another site for a dollar or even less. Prices dictate how many customers a site will have. This is the reason why monthly subscriptions sites that offer unlimited downloads are doing so well. Imagine being able to download as much as you want for $15 or less each month. Now that's a bargain for Zune music downloads that is too good to pass up. - 23806

Spiderman Movie:The Next Release

By Andrew Taylor

Is there no end to Spiderman's popularity? The answer is a resounding "no". Spiderman is one of those timeless classic superheroes which appeal to young and old alike, with Spiderman costumes continuing to be top sellers for fancy dress retailers.

As you would expect with every well established character, spiderman costumes are available in a huge range of options.They even cater for fully grown males. Perhaps these are men who are reliving their childhood fantasies of always wanting to be a super hero. Whatever the reason sales continue strongly.

The next big-screen version of our hero is due in 2011, with the producers promising many more to follow. We now know that Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are among the top twenty biggest grossing films of all time, so clearly the producers are not going to stop. It makes sense to stick with a winning formula.

Surprisingly a musical based on the superhero is being set up, called "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" which will be, according to reports,the most expensive production in Broadway history. The film will feature songs from U2, and is sure to be a great hit.

Spiderman can also take credit for a real-life rescue. A Thai fireman dressed in a Spiderman costume rescued an eight-year-old autistic boy who climbed out of a third-floor classroom window. Teachers failed to coax the child back and a remark by the boy's mother regarding his passion for Spiderman inspired one fireman to rush back to the fire station where he just happened to keep his Spiderman costume in his locker!

When the boy saw the fireman he smiled and promptly threw himself into his superhero's arms. It transpires the fireman keeps a Spiderman costume in his locker to liven up fire drills in schools.

The Israeli news headlines this year ran a story, that Highway police were called to apprehend a man in a Spiderman costume, who was frightening commuters by throwing ropes at their cars (presumably improvised "web-shooters") and jumping on top of them.

AS expected the police arrested him very quickly. Under questioning later, he recounted that he had woken up in hospital and found himself dressed in the costume. He remembered nothing else. So doctors were called in to asses his mental health. If they profiled many of us they would realize many have a secret desire to dress up and become Spiderman. - 23806
