Taking in his surmountable years at the helm of the Australian scene, it is clear to see that his inspiration and drive remain resilient, even during these enduring times without traditional clubs or the energy of a dancefloor we all dearly miss.

In the decade of the new millennium, This band rode the wave in from a major music benefactor that found them to splash onto shore. But sadly, the wave they rode just dispersed onto land and seeped through the sand with a short lived span as their music fell into obscurity.

Photo by badgreeb RECORDS As musicians themselves, the parents of Classic Rock Icon Gary Puckett made sure their children grew up in a home where music was often played and listened to. His dad played the sax and sang in Barbershop Quartets, and his mom was an accomplished piano player who taught students at home. But the American dream they aspired to for their children didn’t involve all the uncertainty a musician’s life can have. Being the good son, Puckett attended San Diego City College, where he enrolled as a psyche student. Essentially unable to repress his true calling, he left the unconscious to others and followed the inescapable pull toward performing.

Jason JamesPublished 4 years ago in BeatChris Carter—Kansas City’s New Hope?
Tell us about you: My name is Chris Eaddy and my Artist name is Chris Carter I am from Louisville, KY but currently based in Kansas City, MO. What makes me different as a person is that I'm me a hundred percent of the time . No matter who i’m around I don’t lose myself nor will I be anyone else to make someone else happy. I grew up like many other people, dad not around, single mom and Army brat life so I moved around a lot . All of that makes me seem relatable to people which as an Artist that’s what you want but it’s also what has individualized me . I don’t hold all of the same values and outlooks on life as the people I tend to be around. The life I lived made me want to go a different route, to live more boldly not get trapped in the status quo. I don’t want to be defined or put into a box. I want to create music that feeds me and hopefully others I don’t want to be bound by a label that someone else created. What do I want to accomplish in life…. What’s funny is that even from a young age we’re asked a variation of this question this complex but oddly simple question. I think as people we’re all headed for the same basic accomplishments, happiness , generational wealth ( so we can stop the perpetuation of systemic poverty) and a fulfilled life . Who’s to say how we get there though, we’re kinda just along for the ride. As of right now the car taking me on that ride is my music which I want to get miles on. I want to accomplish all that I can with music because this is my passion. In five years, I’d like to be a household name. I see myself with my wife and two boys actually living life and no longer surviving. I see us living wherever my wife has inevitably spent the last five years researching and planning while I tour . I’d love to be touring through Europe showing my family the world. I also want to have other business ventures going such as a clothing line and whatever else comes my way. What I bring to the music world is realness, I’m giving people what they need, what I need . I’m not always going to put something out that is a club song just because that’s what's hot right now. I’m not writing music for anyone but myself the songs that I put out are songs that are me, they are parts of me that I didn’t know until I wrote it down. Music literally uncovers who I am, daily I’m always surprising myself . I don’t put on a front with my music; what you see is what you get . I’m not going to speak on something that I'm not actually living.
Jason JamesPublished 4 years ago in BeatBritney Spears: The Next Showbiz Casualty?
Before I say anything here, I want to make one thing clear. All of the points mentioned in this article are all speculation based on what has been released on the internet by those closely involved with the life of Britney Spears, as well as statements made by Britney Spears herself. Any beliefs I make in this article are purely my personal opinion based on what is available to me. I don’t claim to know anything more than anyone else. I have no first-hand knowledge of Britney Spears personal life and cannot prove anything to be fact or speculation. So please, don’t take what I have to say in this article as an attack on those involved closely with this situation, or as a pass to attack those involved or try to intervene with any court proceedings involving Britney Spears; such as hacking into virtual court rooms or anything like that. This only adds to the problem when what we really need to do is focus on how we can be part of the solution. My only intention like with any of my articles I’ve written and will continue to write about the lives of celebrities is simply to start a conversation, not gossip, but a constructive conversation that might lead us to something good in the end. With that, on with the article.

Bob Dylan’s uplifting song “Dignity” may be, in beat and tone at least, happier than many of his other songs. But if we look deeper into the song, that purely is not the case. The song implies that everyone spends their most intimate moments alone, their most life-changing moments alive, searching for Dignity - well, at least that’s what I get from it. We all have to admit though that Bob Dylan’s singing voice on this song is absolutely iconic with a ton of intonation and animation that makes the song sound almost like a strange, oxymoronic story of people constantly looking for dignity as they “(look) into the lost forgotten years”.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in BeatBack in Blah - AC/DC is back with a brand ‘new’ single.
The Band, The Legacy Like many people AC/DC was pretty special to me throughout my life, growing up my father would blast Bon Scott era classics like “Big Balls” and eventually the Back in Black album, which was still a relatively new addition to their catalog when we got it for $1 from Columbia House. I would inevitably become a wild and unruly teenager, shotgunning wine coolers to Stiff Upper Lip and knowing that I had all of life figured out (SPOILER ALERT: I did not).

Eric AllenPublished 4 years ago in BeatI got 17 cent's from my music
My royalty payments from SoundCloud in July $0.17 So at the start of this month (October) I received my first royalty payment from Soundcloud. Before this, I really had no clue about how much money I would actually get. I heard rough estimations online that it would be $2–3 per thousand views. I didn’t have to pay as I was on the free trial for a month, so any money I did make, in a way was all profit. I wasn’t overly worried about it. Since then, in August, I have paid out for a yearly subscription (90$.) This includes publishing all my music to Streaming sites e.g Spotify and also stores such as iTunes. With any views, I get on Soundcloud also being ‘Monetised’. Straight away, first off the bat, I thought it would be easy when one of my tracks got botted for a few hundred views by a Ukrainian account. But now in October looking back at my first month’s revenue (July) it looks daunting and even downright unfair.
