This really doesn’t make sense and is kind of insulting to me (I am Chinese). Why is it when a country modernizes, it becomes "western". Isn’t westernization for culture. This is like saying technology is part of "western culture" and only part of western culture. Back in 1000-1500, Europe was taking all kinds of ideas and things from the East, yet its not considered Easternization. Its considered "catching up". So now…right now, just as we helped you catch up, we are trying to "catch up" ourselves. Why is it westernization? Why not "eastern modernization"?
Also, it really annoys me when people say "oh its called westenization because you guys adopted our culture. I mean you don’t see samurai and kimono in every day Japan do you? That is because you have our culture and Japan of today no longer has its old culture, and instead has western culture." That really annoys me. Let me ask you this—DO you see western countries have knights and castles and old traditional dresses?" The answer is NO. That is because the world today has adopted a MODERN culture. It was never western or eastern. It is better in technology and quite NEUTRAL in my eyes. If I take a look at a t-shirt, I don’t see any SLIGHTEST hint of western or eastern culture in my eyes.
I think what happens is people in the west are too quick to assume that if something isn’t DISTINCTLY eastern (kimono, samurai, karate), it is western. They tend to forget most of the things in modern society are quite NEUTRAL and shared by all. Such as modern music (nothing like traditional European, Asian music), clothing, and especially TECHNOLOGY. I hate it when the west is like "you adopted our culture of cars and computers. Those are INNOVATIONS. NOT CULTURE. You never thought PAPER as Chinese culture did you? When you see paper used in the office, do you think, "hey…feels like we are living in China.
Do you see my point?
I totally see your point and agree. I am not from the east (actually i’m native american) but i can totally see how it would be offensive. My opinion is that people do this because we (americans in general) are quite self-centered. modern america has got to be about the most ethnocentric/ culture-centric society that has ever existed, so many americans just can’t seem to see the world from anyone else’s perspective, or even try. So, anything that americans see as a good contribution to the world, i think they assume it must have come from here. I’m sorry that people are so much that way- I see and hear stuff that indicates the self-centeredness of our society all the time and it’s a pet-peeve for me, but it’s just how it is, and I doubt, sadly, that it will change anytime soon. :-/
PS I am an american, so if anyone’s about to get upset about my saying this stuff about your country, be aware that it’s my country too and I love it- I just can’t stand the self centered attitudes we see every day.
I know Bodies is a very popular song. but what is the name of that other good heavy metal song that plays the irish music in the begginning?
thanks
You have got to be kidding me. This is the vaguest question ever.
I think you can restore modules, but I’m exausted. This is my 3rd account and though I got a music player by Qloud it’s not working well and I want to delete it, which I know how, but what are the consequence? I want to make the myspace music player show on my profile after I delete this non-myspace Qloud music player. I could never get the myspace music player to show. Please help.
You can delete it, but you will have to go to music, then find songs to put in your "profile playlist". However, you can only have up to ten songs on a myspace playlist. Just saying. (:
I understand the sound but not how to produce it. The only guitar technique I know that MIGHT be used in folk rock a LITTLE is bluegrass strumming. I can write the lyrics correctly and I can sing in a folk rock voice, but for the composing the instruments part, are there any techniques I don’t know of, are there any chords, notes, or scales commonly used in folk rock?
I think the trick to folk rock is it’s simplicity.
Keep your strumming and your chord progressions simple, and let the words be in the spotlight.
Use G, C, D, Em, Am, F, or Dm in any order and you’ll be on the right track. Keep your attention on the melody and the lyrics, and use the music as a backdrop for what you want to say.
That’s it!
Peace,

Okay, so I connected my keyboard to my PC. It’s installed and my computer recognizes it as a device in my control panel. But, None of my music players will recognize that I have it plugged in. What music player will recognize I have it plugged in?
Extra info: The reason I am trying to do this is so I can record songs on my piano and have them on my PC so I can share them with people.
ok…get your mp3 or recorder and record the music, plug the recorder cable in to the computer, and there you go! No need to plug the entire keyboard to your computer, plus some recorders have better sound qualities…
I’m trying to find some new sheet music for my music course and I thought I would try some Scottish or Irish music…

Personally, I like "Danny Boy" very much.
So I have to do a school project and choreograph a dance to classical music, as I’m a contemporary dancer I’d like to choreograph a contemporary dance and not something that looks like classical ballet. Anyone who knows a good piece or composer that is not an obvious choice? O, I love piano!
Thanks in advance!
Rachmaninov is good for piano pieces, and I don’t think his stuff is usually played, at least not in dance.
Here’s a song I found on youtube.com
Rachmaninov Prelude in C-Sharp minor Op.3 No.2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuTU8X0LZA
Rachmaninov plays Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 3 (1939)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA0kXDMKiLg
Here’s his wikipedia page with some song suggestions which you can also search out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Rachmaninoff
The Prelude in C Sharp is probably one of his more famous songs.
Key features of Jazz and more.
This list could be ridiculously long. regular jazz instruments are sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and sometime you have other instruments.
There are way too many musicians to list, but you have older ones like Miles Davis, Charlie parker, John Coltrane and newer ones like David Sanborn, Joshua Redman, and Dave Koz.
What music is suppossed to help your brain work better while doing homework and studying for tests? any specific music?
Classical music. Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, etc. Modern classical would probably apply too: Holst, Bartok.
