We'll have two main stages -- an A Stage as well as a B stage -- & are using a lot of area that they haven't used before. Last year was a small crowded on Saturday -- Friday was perfect. I do not like it when people are bumping elbows the whole time. With this new footprint, people will be able to breathe."<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:10pt;" >"It was a great experience for us, & they saw the benefits on plenty of fronts," Rotella said of the addition of a second day, during a phone conversation. "But from a production point of view the two-day EDC works much better. It was always a shame for me that historicallyin the past we'd get involved in a show -- picking the art installations, setting up the stage production & sound -- & then when the crowd arrived, it was a 12-hour rush for everyone to experience it all & get their groove on. With a two-day festival, people have time to take it all in." But with the added day came way more people, resulting in crowds that were sometimes overwhelming, added Rotella. To combat the scrums, Insomniac has reimagined the area.<o:p></o:p></span></p> Sofiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10177495040817510923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124776029367317805.post-88827814957273522422010-04-27T14:20:00.000-07:002010-04-27T14:21:43.133-07:00M.I.A. makes her stance utterly clear with 'Born Free'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dxoh5at8VaTAHUHJrR7-bxCJWY6pZy_m7ot7r0B5wo8NVI5ZD-_wVHnyxcE7URdqmY8KhjzbCne9k2OFyto1vgYBCMQT7-wGNnEy-v_rA_sso4fSw9NPlizAAirUIWls6fn9OUsonN0/s1600/53492321-27112943.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dxoh5at8VaTAHUHJrR7-bxCJWY6pZy_m7ot7r0B5wo8NVI5ZD-_wVHnyxcE7URdqmY8KhjzbCne9k2OFyto1vgYBCMQT7-wGNnEy-v_rA_sso4fSw9NPlizAAirUIWls6fn9OUsonN0/s400/53492321-27112943.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464930508552809010" border="0" /></a>Her tweet was more immature than it was constructive, but the transnational hip-hop star's decision to team with Gavras & release a video that clearly connected to the history of political filmmaking is no rash impulse. With "Born Free," M.I.A. lets her growing cult of fans know that he's no purpose of softening her message to court the mainstream.<br /><br />M.I.A. protested in the all-caps mode she favors when the rattling, violent video for her brash new single "Born Free" was pulled from YouTube early Tuesday morning. After using Twitter to blame her record label & then retracting that accusation -- YouTube itself removed the short film by Italian director Romain Gavras for its graphic content, which included a kid being shot in the head & a young man being blown up by a land mine -- he basically declared, "BOOOOOOOOO" & provided a link to the "Born Free" video on her own web-site.<br /><br />In fact, Gavras will soon release his directorial debut, "Redheads," which takes the plot of the M.I.A. video feature-length & promises to be both ultra-violent & free of Kenny jokes. His work with the filmmaking collective Kourtrajme, which he co-founded, & on videos for other artists (most notably the Italian electronic duo Justice, whose song "Stress" became the backdrop to Gavras' blunt depiction of Paris gang violence) lands smack in the midst of what is long been fruitful ground for political filmmakers, including Gavras' own father, Constantinos "Costa" Gavras: the killing field where dramas of racial prejudice, institutional control & minority resistance are enacted.<br /><br />For those who haven't seen the clip, it is a docudrama-style depiction of American military forces rounding up members of a targeted minority in an unnamed city, taking them to the desert & executing them. Much-discussed reference points include the Peter Watkins 1971 countercultural film "Punishment Park" &, because the raided people have red hair, the South Park episode "Ginger Babies," which satirized the idea of targeted minority groups by putting redheads in the victim role.Sofiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10177495040817510923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124776029367317805.post-60322299532051253202010-04-26T14:25:00.000-07:002010-04-26T14:27:37.862-07:00RnB 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDM-WE0VBOWZ9BjJow75H46GOu9cz3rNycNLKUD25-Sr_HIuHy2XkQ_mP8xyuYCNA772yxpMEcXynmNjkrWPBZoeLWkvMaF2y4JRMcMgYcf2nMEuQWBxU5mLqjdZqPn4Y3FTRXbx9nRBA/s1600/usher-new-album-2010-rnb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDM-WE0VBOWZ9BjJow75H46GOu9cz3rNycNLKUD25-Sr_HIuHy2XkQ_mP8xyuYCNA772yxpMEcXynmNjkrWPBZoeLWkvMaF2y4JRMcMgYcf2nMEuQWBxU5mLqjdZqPn4Y3FTRXbx9nRBA/s400/usher-new-album-2010-rnb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464560975082579266" border="0" /></a>R&B, also referred to RnB or R n B is possibly the #1 most popular music genre of today.

Therefore, to their long-time die-hard fanbase, the band needed to generate a solid album for 2009.<br /><br />Frontman Nick Hexum vowed in a Gibson.com interview that the band was "taking a sizable step forward." So they brough in big-shot producer Bob Rock, who has produced for Metallica. The result: Uplifter.<br /><br />There were a lot of great things about the album. There were plenty of strong tracks. "Two Drops in the Ocean" is a chill reggae jam with an amazingly smooth guitar solo from Tim Mahoney. "Mix It Up" has a flow like late-1990s 311. "Never Ending Summer" is another solid jam with a new element to the 311 sound: a subtle high-pitched synth (similar to George Clinton funk). The song also features arguably the greatest Tim Mahoney guitar solo ever made.<br /><br />"My Heart Sings" is another nicely done song. It features an acoustic guitar, which 311 usually doesn't use often in their recordings. "Get Down," the album's final track, is a rollercoaster ride of awesome beats & chill vibes.Sofiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10177495040817510923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124776029367317805.post-45761572095063605992010-04-20T14:29:00.000-07:002010-04-20T14:30:58.539-07:00Oklahomans ruled the Academy of Country Music Awards<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjhHVsfCTQB_yc9AraaFIt8ejJ1hH4XWbAumZ-NUhAdup0pzw-GacvkrulWU_KumGfcZv8agkZs73Y2NOdEqsUOgSGF8LPDiL2AszINc3rkZfTbIvths90HZ_GdbPLZFHtjeOZ7xzkpA/s1600/kix.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjhHVsfCTQB_yc9AraaFIt8ejJ1hH4XWbAumZ-NUhAdup0pzw-GacvkrulWU_KumGfcZv8agkZs73Y2NOdEqsUOgSGF8LPDiL2AszINc3rkZfTbIvths90HZ_GdbPLZFHtjeOZ7xzkpA/s400/kix.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462335322671538258" border="0" /></a>Beginning off was Lady Antebellum’s win for ‘Need You Now’ as Song of the Year and Single Record of the Year.<br /><br />Oklahomans rocked the show at the 45th annual Academy of Country Music Awards.<br /><br />Toby Keith, also from Oklahoma, performed ‘Cryin’ for Me,’ dedicating the song to former University of Oklahoma basketball player and jazz musician Wayman Tisdale, who died last May.
