    I don't have an iPod, but have been using iTunes to play music on my laptop for a couple of years. I am travelling in Spain on my motorbike, so it is my only way of playing music.

  • Open Question: christina aguilera or avril lavigne?
    Aguilera, a soprano, is known for her prominent singing style, strong vocals, and powerful voice. She has also been noted for her ability to sing in the whistle register. She has rivaled many of her other contemporaries and has been referred to as the "voice of her generation" and a blue eyed soul singer. ****************************************************************** In Lavigne's official MySpace page, she affirms that her music genre is Pop/Punk/Rock; but Allmusic and other reviewers consider her "Punk, Punk-pop, Pop/Rock, Alternative Rock, Alternative Pop-Rock, Modern Rock and Post-Grunge". The reason for the confusion appears to be for her punk-like appearance, however, she has frequently stated that she's "not punk", and that she never claimed to be. Lavigne cites many early punk bands and figures as influences, but her music has little in common with 1970s punk rock.
  • Open Question: CD Cover Title? (project)?

  • Open Question: what is "alternative" music defined as?
  • Resolved Question: what should my title be for my story?
    Ok, see this was my idea for my story, but idk. am not convinced. ok, it starts out as a 15 year old girl who has a great voice, but record companies turn her down. She's struck hard. 20 years later, she has a 15 year daughter, and shes a single mother and works as an accountant. The daughter has never met her father and wants to search for him. on the way to discovering her father, she discovers her mother's true dream was. The daughter realizes that she too has singing skills and wants to try it out in the big world, but shes afraid of what her mother might think. She tries out for record companies. One record company gave her a 50,000 record deal. She accidentally tells her mother. Her mother doesnt understand why she wants to be a singer, or she pretends. Her daughter decides to take it anyway. Her mother and her dont talk for a while. But the daughter doesnt mind, because she recording a cd. On the way to fame, she meets a guy and she thinks hes really nice. they go out and they plan on getting married.the daughter releases her first album. and its an instant hit, top of the charts. it's a happy ending. until...book 2! book 2( needs a title too)- her mom is really surprised at how well things are going in her daughter's life and apologizes for trying to hold her back from her dream. But her daughter takes everything for granted. She does a lot of concerts and on one occasion when her fiance wasnt around, she fooled around with her manager...if you no wat i mean. Her fiance finds them and breaks up wit her. Shes depressed and does drugs. Her manager quit after she stopped fooling around with him. So, she hasnt seen her mom for a while. So she goes to see her mom. Her mom is scared, bcuz she looks dead. The daughter denies doing drugs. But her mother checked her urine at a clinic and the daughter was lying of course. Her mother sent her to rehab, which her father owned. Yes, she found out nd he helps her out. Apparently, her ex works there. nd she tries to avoid him, bcuz shes ashamed of herself. He finds her one times. nd the daughter was really timid. the ex said he wanted to help her, but thats all he was going to be to her, a helper. She understood. But soon enough they both fell head over heals over eachother. ultimately, she got off the drugs, nd she got back in the music industry, only this time she was a alternative singer. She didnt do as many concerts. Nd yes, she did again fool around with her manager, but her manager was her fiance. They married. And the book ends with them fooling around. What do you think? what would be a great title for both of them?

  • Open Question: R.I.P. Rock Music: 1954-2004?
    Basically I think once hair metal became popular rock was on its death bed. Grunge was the defibrillator and it revived rock by bringing Alternative to the masses... but thanks to the likes NSYNC and BackStreet Boys it died again. It seems rock was somewhat rececitated with the little garage rock boom that lasted form 2002 to 2003... but yet again it died and it appears right now it wont be coming back. Yes I know there are some great underground bands... but nobody is listening to them. Anybody else agree with me? The white stripes is basically the boner a man has after he dies. Yeah it seems like a sign of life but it wont last very long. What I mean by nobody is listening to them is that not enough peopler like them to bring upon a revolution like grunge. Even though I love RHCP and the Foo's we cant rely on them forever. Cookie cutter that has to be the most utterly idiotic statement about grunge and hair metal I have EVER heard. Please take a Rock 101 course before opening your trap again. FYI I Listen to the greatest alternative rock/ underground rock/ indie rcok station in the country. KEXP.
