History ties David Bowie's new album to the epic Heroes record and single

By Claus Wright


March the twelfth 2013, David Bowie releases a new album 'The Next Day.' No one, expected a new record from The Thin White Duke. Well, at least not many other than Bowie himself - and those working with him on the album. The first single from the upcoming record has many things in common with one of Bowie's album classics.

Thus, History and the Berlin Wall ties David Bowie's upcoming album 'The Next Day' and the albums first single 'Where Are We Now?' to the epic 'Heroes' album and its single in and unique way.

Both singles are about Berlin and the Berlin Wall, but on different levels. On the new single, Bowie sings about Berlin during the Cold War and Berlin today after the Wall has fallen. On the 'Heroes' single, The Thin White Duke sings about a young couple. He got the inspiration from seeing two lovers sitting on a bench by the Berlin Wall. In an 1977 interview, Bowie told that he had wondered why the young couple had chosen to meet on such a unromantic location.

In Bowie's song the settings gets a twist. Thus, the verse: 'I, I can remember standing by the wall, And the guns shot over our heads, And we kissed, as though nothing could fall.' Here the drama is on, guns are firing over the two lovers heads. Are the guns real, maybe firing at a couple who tries to cross the Berlin Wall, or are the guns symbolic fire against a dying relationship that is being killed by the harsh consequences of reality.

Thus, the Berlin Wall was already part of David Bowie's artistic expression in 1977, where the 'Heroes' album and its first single were released. While, Bowie sings about a doomed relationship on 'Heroes,' the young couple still dream that their romance will survive. They act like like heroes, dramatic ceasing the moment; 'kissing like nothing could fall,' and forgetting everything else.

The Berlin Wall is also a stark symbol of the Cold War and its inhumanity. East- and West Berliners' couldn't just visit each other, they ran the risk of getting shot if they tried to climb over the Berlin Wall.

On 'Where Are We Now,' Bowie also reflect on the Berlin Wall, however, from a historical perspective and based on his own experiences with Berlin in the 70s. Places that has become historical important landmarks for our understanding of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the closure of the Cold War, are mentioned.

The connections between the two albums and singles become even more obvious when you look at the front cover from 'The Next Day,' it is from the original 'Heroes' cover. However, the 'Heroes' logo have been overwritten, and Bowie's face on the photo have been replaced with a white square and the albums title: 'The Next Day.' Maybe, as a symbolic historical confirmation of the 'Heroes' single; the 'Heroes' have died and the Wall has fallen, raising the new single's title question: 'Where Are We Now?' Only time can tell, when the album is released 12th March.

A New Hope For Young Music Producers!

By Carrie Spencer


In earlier 2000's, the music business, primarily the communities of hiphop and also rnb, saw the expansion of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What is a "super producer"? So, the perfect definition of their distinction with a "simple" producer will adopt the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for instance Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know those famous models as well as everybody else and you can see them on many catwalks. Briefly: safe values.

That was the same thing in the music industry: there were "big" producers, risk free, that directed entirely the projects and were looked for by the most well recognized singers and also rappers. This is really risk-free for record label to capitalize on a nationally ranked music producer compared with a novice. The widley known one delivered a lot of successful singles, in theory. Simply because at the time normally big names sold cd.

However, the music business, since the starting of the decade totally changed. Firstly, most people don't really pay for disc now.

For that reason the record labels give far less budget for a project. And evidently, record companies will no longer be willing to put in money between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the case in times of the golden times of music producers. The disks tend to not sell and world wide web grows. To surmount not approved downloading of their artists, record companies join or merge with statutory download technologies and decide to push their visibility in this internet place, which has been getting away their control for way too long.

But the rise of the internet has allowed the coming up of lots of unknown producers as good as, if not more advantageous than, "Super Producers".

These valuable producers have targeted on the improvement of the Internet, that has facilitated those to sell their beats online. Encouraging them to communicate and also work with singer on any local scale as well as a worldwide one. A producer from New york will be able to try to sell beats to a person in Japan. It is now quicker for them to gain a pretty good reputation to get a career. For the artists, this makes a massive difference! They can buy beats online inside their home for their album, EP or mixtape for reasonable prices; not really those practiced by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a particular awareness of this modern market. They buy beats online too. And of late we are able to see that some of these web producers are obtaining hired by majors.

The golden era of super producers like the years of super mannequin disappears steadily, revealing option to this modern business driven by producers who, generally, have next to nothing to envy to the "super producers".

How a City Bike Can Get Through Hectic New York

By Rob Sutter


I enjoy items which seem to display just a bit of geekiness and it's something that I have no urge to control. I like to retain a bit of my childhood for nostalgia sake and I hope that I am not the only one who wants to do this. I've also seen that these aspects of my youth can surprisingly be tied back to New York in some way or another. I enjoy them, of course, but if I were to witness them in real life while riding on a city bike, I'd fear crashing out of sheer amazement.

It's odd to me because it wasn't until recently that I had a dream where I was on a city bike, a day in the city seemingly like any other. That's when I saw, in the skies, a man dressed in red and blue swinging across buildings like a soaring arachnid. It sounds strange, but it seems like Spider-Man had been avoiding what appeared to be heat seeking missiles. Being caught in the middle of such an event was not enough for me to get away fast enough on my bike recommended by authorities such as Linus Bike. To say that this was an odd dream is an understatement.

That dream got me to thinking, "what other New York figures could cause such commotion in my sleep?" Well, I could imagine the Ghostbusters being part of that cavalcade as well in the bustling city known as New York. For instance, their big battle against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is one that coated practically the entire city with gooey marshmallow. Falling into an event like that would most certainly leave me, and my bike, in need of a cleanup.

For those of you who have been heavy into cartoons as children during the late 80's and perhaps even beyond, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were on your radar. Even though they are still famed, I think that my love for them as a boy transitioned. What happened if they found themselves in the real-life environment of New York? If it came down to me wanting an autograph while the Turtles were combating the Foot Clan, I think I'd be riding in the other way as quickly as possible.

I'm not about to make the claim that my dreams aren't normal because - to be fair - I think anything else would be more rooted in reality. However, how many of us actually have dreams in which we can look back on them and say to ourselves, "that made sense?" I just know that a lot of instances of my childhood involved danger in some way or another. I can only hope that my city bike will be able to handle the dangers to come.

How to choose the right projector

By Adrian Bruyes


Projectors provide the ultimate home theater experience. Nothing else comes as close to truly re-creating the viewing experience of a movie theater. Imagine the bewitching beauty of Avatar's planet Pandora spread out before you. Or a close-up shot of Jeff Beck's fingers coaxing delicate harmonics out of his Stratocaster. Picture a 240-pound linebacker barreling straight at you. Or a video game villain swinging a sword big enough to splinter your coffee table. Projectors deliver all that and more - images bursting with cinematic detail and color across a larger-than-life screen measured in feet, not inches.

Tip: In many cases, manufacturers rate projector lumen values based on data output, not video. Lumen output for video is typically not as high as data. For help determining which projector is right for your viewing environment, contact one of our Projector Experts. They have personally seen most units perform in video mode. What you are watching will make a big difference in the quality of your image. A low-quality signal fed to your projector will most likely look like a low-quality image when projected. This is even more noticeable on a larger screen.

If you have a home theater room that is very dark, a projector with a lumens rating of under 1,500 will tend to provide an adequate picture. Media presentations given in dim light typically require about 1,500 to 2,000 lumens, and a room with regular ambient lighting may require a projector with over 2,000 lumens to provide a good picture.

So what does that mean for your projector purchase? HD (1920 x 1080) projectors are designed to deliver all the rich details carried in a 1080p signal. Wide XGA projectors will deliver great results when fed a 1080p signal, just not as great as their HD counterparts. That said, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the two unless you were projecting a very large image, say eight feet diagonal or more. The final factor to consider is a projector's contrast ratio. Contrast ratio literally refers to the difference between the blackest black and the whitest white in an image.

Aside from screen size, and deciding between a manual pull-down, motorized retractable, or fixed-frame design, the other major consideration is screen "gain." Gain measures the amount of light reflected by the screen back at viewers - higher gain means more reflected light and a brighter image. Different screen coatings applied to the base vinyl screen material are how different gain values are achieved. Higher brightness is helpful with very large screens, or in rooms with significant ambient light, but as the screen gain increases, the optimum viewing angle decreases - it becomes more important that viewers sit more directly in front of the screen rather than off to the sides.

Possibilities for an Olive Oil Drought

By Rob Sutter


Out of the many thought processes that exist today, I think one of the most prevalent is that you don't appreciate something until it's no longer present. I've been through a number of storms where luxuries have been taken out, so I understand this saying well. Food is one of those items which I believe people also take for granted and don't understand how important it is. Olive oil is imperative, in my eyes, and there are many reasons why a shortage of it would be disastrous.

If one kind of oil isn't being used anymore, one has to turn to another, right? Well, unfortunately for those who enjoy olive oil, a shortage would cause people to turn to less healthful alternatives. It would be a shame, too, because the oil variety has more in the way of monounsaturated fats, which are actually better for the body than the fats you would have cited otherwise. It also goes without saying that it would put reputable companies like Unaprol in a tough spot.

It seems like my mother has never cooked with another kind of oil in a number of years and that's probably for the best. She's used canola oil in the past, up until she learned about the negative impact it can have on one's body. You want to be able to cook healthful meals and something as small as the kind of oil used can potentially have the biggest impact. You're going to want to go with the oil variety, if you're certain that there is any to be seen in the pantry.

Personally speaking, I don't know how helpful it would be for this kind of oil not to be seen anymore. It's clear that this is the kind of oil that can be used in cooking but it can also be utilized on its own. For instance, sometimes we'd have a load of bread at the dinner table and beside it would be a small container of said oil. It's one of those things that I enjoy and I don't think meals would be quite the same if they were not around.

Hopefully we never have to see something like that occur for a number of reasons. There isn't another healthful choice one can make like olive oil if they want to see meals become healthier. There's a great presence of vitamins as well and the nutrients are ones which you may not be able to find so easily with commonly utilized foods. While a drought like this is highly unlike, I would much rather not pay attention to such a thought as this.
