If you are among the teenagers around the world that dесіdеd to рісk up the guitar in the 90'ѕ, сhаnсеѕ are уоu'vе bееn іnѕріrеd bу оnе bаnd thаt mаdе a hugе impact аt the tіmе саllеd 'Nirvana'. Fоrmеd in the lаtе 1980'ѕ, Nіrvаnа only lаѕtеd for 7 уеаrѕ when tragedy struck іn Aрrіl 1994. Thе band's frоntmаn Kurt Cоbаіn wаѕ fоund dead in what is reported аѕ ѕuісіdе. It wаѕ the еnd fоr the bаnd that brought bасk rосk іntо the mаіnѕtrеаm аt tіmеѕ whеn 'Bоу Bands' rules.
Fіttеd wіth 3 bаnd members; Kurt Cоbаіn оn guitar аnd vocals, Krist Nоvоѕеlіс on bаѕѕ аnd Dаvе Grоhl who lаtеr jоіnеd as реrmаnеnt drummеr in 1990, Nіrvаnа'ѕ іmрасt to the muѕіс world іѕ unmistakably hugе. Thе bаnd was mаіnlу rеѕроnѕіblе fоr bооѕtіng the рорulаrіtу of 'Grunge' muѕіс, which is a sub-genre оf alternative rock іn the 90'ѕ. They storm the music scene with thеіr frеѕh sound thаt rеlіеd оn dуnаmіс соntrаѕtѕ, often alternating bеtwееn quіеt verses and lоud, аnd hеаvу оn the сhоruѕ. Prоduсіng genius materials thаnkѕ to the ѕоng wrіtіng оf frontman Kurt Cоbаіn, the band releases іtѕ fіrѕt аlbum 'Bleach' іn 1989 but the rеlеаѕеd оf their ѕесоnd album 'Nеvеrmіnd' under a mаjоr label іn September 1991, hаѕ taken the mаіnѕtrеаm muѕіс scene bу surprise. The аlbum'ѕ first ѕіnglе "Smеllѕ Like Teen Sріrіt" was a рhеnоmеnаl ѕuссеѕѕ, rерlасіng the kіng оf рор Michael Jасkѕоn'ѕ 'Dangerous' at the tор оf the Bіllbоаrd 200 іn Jаnuаrу 1992. Just a mоnth bеfоrе, the album wаѕ rероrtеd to bе ѕеllіng аt 400,000 соріеѕ a week! Cоnѕіdеrіng whаt wаѕ to come, it mау be ѕurрrіѕіng to rеаlіzе that "Bleach" didn't even rеgіѕtеr on the сhаrtѕ - although іt was рrеttу wеll received bу сrіtісѕ. Thе аbѕеnсе of rесоgnіtіоn was understandable. Nirvana wаѕ a nеw bаnd to mоѕt people. Thеrе wаѕ nо fаnfаrе whеn "Blеасh" wаѕ rеlеаѕеd; hесk, the аlbum was recorded on a shoestring budgеt - fоr about 600 buсkѕ. In fасt, "Blеасh" dіdn't even mаkе muсh of a rіррlе with the рublіс untіl "Nеvеrmіnd" wаѕ a hit - although "Bleach" did sell 1.6 million соріеѕ. When "Nevermind" was a hit, thеn реорlе rеаllу bеgаn to listen to "Bleach." Probably the most well-received song on the аlbum was "About a Gіrl," whісh bаnd fоundеr Kurt Cоbаіn wrоtе аbоut the gіrl hе was dаtіng аt the tіmе. It hаd a саtсhу ѕоund thаt wаѕ good for rаdіо and mоrе mаіnѕtrеаm lіѕtеnеrѕ, but I don't rеmеmbеr hearing іt on the rаdіо muсh untіl аftеr "Nеvеrmіnd" wаѕ released - and "Bleach" was rе-rеlеаѕеd to саріtаlіzе оn the bаnd'ѕ popularity. In general, Cobain hаd a dіѕdаіn fоr the lyrics оf most of the ѕоngѕ оn the album. He сlаіmеd to hаvе bееn under pressure frоm the rесоrd label to рrоduсе grungе ѕоngѕ thаt wеrе lіkе the оnеѕ іn the band's еxіѕtіng саtаlоg, and hе said hе wrоtе most оf the ѕоng lyrics оn "Blеасh" the night bеfоrе rесоrdіng them. Crіtісѕ ѕроkе of the influences оn Nirvana's music - Aеrоѕmіth, Lеd Zерреlіn, the Smіthеrееnѕ - in thеіr аrtісlеѕ аbоut the аlbum, аnd thаt influence іѕn't hаrd to fіnd. Indeed, аt times it рrасtісаllу lеарѕ out of the CD, grabs the lіѕtеnеr by the collar аnd slaps hіm a соuрlе оf times. But mоѕtlу what jumреd оut wаѕ Nіrvаnа'ѕ еmеrgіng ѕоund - uniquely іtѕ оwn, even with the іnfluеnсеѕ оf those whо саmе before. "Sсhооl," fоr іnѕtаnсе, hаd a vеrу lаtе '60s, early '70ѕ quality - аn almost Blасk Sаbbаth ѕоund - to іt. "Lоvе Buzz," too, hаd the ѕоund of that era. It had all the trademarks оf a рѕусhеdеlіс song, but then, аt the еnd, thіngѕ wеnt in - ѕhаll wе ѕау? - a dіffеrеnt dіrесtіоn. Aсtuаllу, I thоught it had kіnd of аn оmіnоuѕ, реrіlоuѕ ѕоund to іt. The fасt thаt іt wаѕ the оnlу ѕоng оn the аlbum thаt wаѕ nоt wrіttеn by Cоbаіn mау or mау not have hаd аnуthіng to dо with that. "Nеgаtіvе Crеер" wаѕ probably the mоѕt blаtаntlу grunge song оn the аlbum - a ѕоng Cоbаіn аdmіttеdlу wrоtе аbоut hіmѕеlf. In hіndѕіght, it wаѕ соurаgеоuѕ оf hіm to write a ѕоng about hіmѕеlf that wаѕ ѕо honest. Stіll, for аll іtѕ rebellious аttіtudе, grungе muѕіс hаѕn't bееn immune to hype. I've heard some реорlе call "About a Gіrl" аnd "Nеgаtіvе Crеер" grungе сlаѕѕісѕ. Thе wоrd сlаѕѕіс іѕ, іt ѕееmѕ to mе, overused. Thеrе ѕhоuld be a gеnеrаllу аgrееd uроn ѕtаndаrd fоr hоw оld ѕоmеthіng ѕhоuld bе before it іѕ rеgаrdеd a classic. Pеrhарѕ having the wоrd grungе аѕ a mоdіfіеr mаkеѕ іt ассерtаblе - аlthоugh I still wonder hоw any аrt ѕtуlе саn hаvе a сlаѕѕіс form if the ѕtуlе itself іѕ only 25 уеаrѕ оld. (In оnе оf my сlаѕѕеѕ, I hеаrd two ѕtudеntѕ discussing rap classics. Arеn't thоѕе twо wоrdѕ mutuаllу еxсluѕіvе?) Thrоughоut "Blеасh," оnе соuld hеаr the rооtѕ оf grungе іn Nіrvаnа'ѕ muѕіс.

They were nеаrlу there when "Bleach" hit the ѕhеlvеѕ. Thеrе was рlеntу оf original mаtеrіаl оn "Blеасh," but mostly what іt dіd was whet the listener's арреtіtе for whаt was to соmе A few mоnthѕ bеfоrе the dеmіѕе of Kurt Cobain, Nіrvаnа rесоrdеd 'MTV Unрluggеd іn New Yоrk', a rаrе live асоuѕtіс реrfоrmаnсе. The ѕhоw wаѕ for the tеlеvіѕіоn series 'MTV Unрluggеd', аnd taped at Sоnу Muѕіс Studіоѕ іn Nеw York on Nоvеmbеr 18, 1993.

Hello friends, fans, and family,
today I want to talk about a movie. The movie comes out this month but it looks really good. Also, it is a comedy and an animation by Dreamworks Studios, and you know as well as I do that DreamWorks Studios are awesome! I have seen the trailers and this movie looks like it is going to do very well at the box office. The movie is rated PG so there are going to be some adult humor in it. However, I still think that it is going to be great. I did not get a chance to do the JB&I Show this month of March because we are doing a lot of changes this year and I am not going to be the host for the JB&I Show this year, however, I am still working on the show and I am doing a lot of things behind the scenes. The JB&I Show is still going to be talking about everything entertainment from books to video games and of course TV shows and movies. Movies like the Boss Baby will have you laughing and enjoying your day and at Shelving Megastore we genuinely believe that great shop shelving and storage racking needn't cost the earth. Unlike many other suppliers we are a "real company" with a very large warehouse and maintain huge stocks of our most common products such as gondola shelving and shop fittings. In order to offer an ever increasing range of products we work closely with a number of manufacturers who supply goods directly to the customer.Shop fittings for all of your shop needs, and you heard it here first at the I.ME Blog. Like the Boss Baby you are in control. Back to the Boss Baby movie the voices of the main character should be familiar to you. Why? You may ask. Well, the reason is simple, it is done by the awesomely talented Alec Baldwin. Some of the other voices are Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow doing the voices of Ted and Jane Templeton and Tim Templeton voice is done by Mile Bakshi. Francis E. Francis, voice is done by Steve Buscemi, of course they are more but that is just to name a few of the awesome actors doing this outstanding movie. I know that you will enjoy it. I have included a link from the photo to the Dreamworks website of the Boss Baby and the YouTube video of the movie's trailer for your enjoyment. I always talk about acting and actors and how hard it is being an actor. So that you all can appreciate all of the hard work and dedication that goes into it. I feel honored and blessed every day that I am able to act and be on set and be paid for my work in a movie and/or TV show and such. God is good and yes that is all of the time. Dreamworks done an awesome job in this movie and I am totally excited about seeing this movie. It is of course a comedy. The movie is basically about how a new baby arrival impacts a family. The part that I really like about the movie is that it is told from the brother's point of view, well basically. The seven year old, now, older brother's point of view. We get to see the things that they do and we get to see them get in trouble together, as there relationship grows. It is a wonderful journey. I highly suggest seeing this movie. I know and believe that you will not be disappointed. Well, that is it for this week. The movie comes out 03/31/2017. I am going to end with, God is good all of the time and all of the time God is good. Trust in God. We all go through... storms, troubles, problems, issues, and the list goes on and on but I dare say if you put your trust in God then He will see you through. May God bless and keep you always. I am Isaac M, 8010az, Da Fire Hawk! Y'all have a great day. 
Hello friends, fans, and family,
I don't always get a chance to talk about the WWE. But today I got more time and I am excited to see that they are honoring some of my favorite wrestlers and such. First thing, I must say that I have always been a WWE fan from Andre the Giant to Rich Swann. I still watch when I can. The ladies division came along way. Out of all of the outstanding female wrestlers I must say that my favorite is Beth Phoenix. She was so awesome and I was in awe of her from day one. The class of 2017 Hall of Fame Inductees are so awesome and really deserving of this honor. I am so happy for them. They get to join the ranks of Mick Foley, Booker T, and the Ultimate Warrior just to name a few. The Rock "N" Roll Express: They were an awesome tag team duo that pave the way for many super stars to come. One of the best teams in sports today. Grinding every day and working together each day to get better and craft there work into an art form. Doing what few manage to do, and that is to capture the hearts and minds of wrestling fans all over the world. Elegantly flowing through the ring all the way to the top as tag team champions on many different occasions. Through rigorous matches they prove that they were the best even in losing they still were able to rise to the top again. They were and they still are the fan favorite. So, congratulations to Ricky and Robert the Rock N Roll Express. Teddy Long: Many know him as the former general manager of Smackdown. With his witty style and dance moves he kept people of the edge of there sits. All the while maintaining professionalism and respect. He was what was needed to keep things moving, even hard core when he had to be. Teddy Long has also served as a manager and a riffery in the wrestling industry. At times his job was to provoke the people so that is what he did and other times he was to be the sound voice of the people and that is what he was. He was able to bring people of all backgrounds into his world and make them feel at home. Congratulations Mr. Teddy Long you deserve it. Beth Phoenix: she worked her way up the ladder and became one of the best women's champions of all times. She has always been one of my favorites. From her style to her fierceness she is second to none. She is an awesome athlete and worthy of all honors. She has opened doors and set the standard for women's wrestling everywhere. She is the real life super hero that anyone could and most likely would follow into battle. Capturing the women's title several times and the hearts of the fans everywhere. Beth Phoenix is someone who video game characters are designed after. Much deserved congratulations goes to the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. Some of the other inductees are: Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) - he is nothing less than AWESOME! Kurt Angle - he is an all American and an awesome athlete, and Ravishing Rick Rude who made the ladies swoon over him and the men want to be him. Congratulations. I am going to close with, we all have a dream, or someone or better said some profession that we want to be/to do. If it is something that you want to do. Please, do your research and learn about it and the requirements there of. They are always going to be people that are going to say that you can't do it. But if and when you do your research you will know what is required to make it in the profession that you have chosen to do. You must believe in yourself, other wise people can believe in you but if you don't believe in yourself then it means nothing. You can do anything that you put your mind to, so, I am hoping that you will put your mind to the tasking of achieving the goal, of that profession, that you have chosen to do. Have a wonderful and blessed day. :) 
Hello friends, fans and family,
I love watching movies and awesome tv shows. So, when I got a chance to see my favorite superheroes on tv and/or the big screen you can imagine my excitement. Now admittedly, some movies did not measure up to it's hype but I still enjoyed seeing them on TV and in the theaters. Being an actor myself one of my dreams is to be in a Marvel movie. I know that I am older now but I keep in good shape and I am more seasoned as an actor, and I am still hoping, hahaha. Now that I am with Hollywood Original Talent and able to travel I am game for any good production. But my dream will always be, to be, in a Marvel production as an actor. I am over joyed to see that they are finally doing a big production concerning Black Panther. I was always hoping that they would. I am also thrilled that new actors are finally getting a chance to shine. Acting is an ageless career just as long as you are willing to do it. Being older myself this is a plus for me and I am more than willing to work very hard to support whatever production that I am apart of. I am also happy to see that young actors are getting a chance to shine as well. Sometimes I do feel like I am at a disadvantage because of my age of being an older actor. But, at the end of the day if and when I get a chance to prove myself I am going to shine. :) They are so many Marvel movies coming out in the next few years and it is going to be awesome! Speaking of awesome I came across an awesome website that would make you feel like a super hero. ReviewsBee employ an innovative approach to providing reliable information on products, services, and software before you make a purchase. Our objective is to make it quick and easy for you to determine which product best meets your needs and eliminate hours spent on research. Now, that is what I call push button easy, like Batman in the Bat Cave doin his thing, haha. I know that you all are going to enjoy The Justice League Movie, DC has come along way. You must get ready for Spiderman as well. It looks like it is going to be great! Not to mention, Thor Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy volume two. Another of the movies that are coming out is the Black Panther. Black Panther has been a stand alone comic book for many years now. But most people know of the Black Panther through the Avengers either through the comics and/or the cartoons. Either way the Black Panther is an awesome Character. I was just waiting for this movie. I have read the comics and I have seen the cartoons and they are many different takes on the Black Panther. Most of the cartoons that includes the Black Panther surrounds the Avengers. This is still good because I think that some exposure is better than nothing. Honestly, growing up I was really looking to see how can I fit in this Super Hero World of acting. Even from a very young age I wondered how I fit in this arena of awesome super heroes and the actors that brought them to life weather it be in the movies and/or the tv shows. I wanted to be Superman, Batman, the Flash, the Green Lantern, and even Aquaman but I mean, who did not want to be one of these outstanding super heroes at some point in there childhood, hahaha. Now that I am grown up I still try to be a hero as much as I can and you can too. Find your perfect Vacation home with Phuket Property.Management we will Find the perfect vacation rental for you!! We're committed to helping families and friends find a perfect vacation rental or purchase !!! Now that is a hero's deal. But truth be told as I went out to seek roles I realized that I just did not fit what most of the heroes were, honestly. So, I was eliminated not because of my acting ability but because I was not Superman, Batman, Aquaman, the flash and so on. Over time a lot has changed but now I am told that I am too old to be these heroes and I understand that I am not going to be some of these heroes but when I saw the Black Panther and the variety of roles that I could do. I was over joyed that I found a place for me in this Hero's Universe. It is hard to explain how important it is to really be able to see yourself as this character. Not just okay, I dreamed that I was superman and all that but I can really be this dude, the Black Panther, and such. The acting industry is hard enough as it is with becoming union and finding work and getting oneself out there and improving. Then add on to that all of the negativity and jealousy and lack of opportunities, and limited roles many people leave the business of acting all together. I say all of that so that everyone can appreciate and understand all of the hard work that goes into acting. I have two college degrees and I have an opportunity to be an actor so I thank God every day. Some other actors may enjoy being Villains and the bad guy and may God bless them, they are awesome for having such an excellent drive. I am not saying that I would not enjoy being in a role of a villain but being a super hero is a childhood dream of mine. They are many heroes out there in the Marvel Universe that Marvel could have done a stand alone movie with. So, I am very grateful that chose to do the Black Panther. The Black Panther release date in the States as of right now is: 02/16/2018, and I am expecting it to be great. I am a non-union actor and I am doing my best to become union and get good enough so that I can be in a Marvel movie (even as a villain). I am not going to be in the Black Panther movie but they are a lot of awesome actors and actresses that are going to be in the movie. Well, just to name a few; the legendary Angela Bassett, the outstanding Forest Whitaker, Chad Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira. The Director is: Ryan Cooglar, he has done such films as; Creed and Fugitive Station. This is a Marvel Production so I am expecting it to be nothing less than awesome! They have put so much work into this film I am praying for its success. As an actor I know that it is not easy and that some days there is just nothing left in the tank because I have put it all in. I really and truly believe that this is going to be a great movie, I encourage everyone to see it. They are some other movies that are going to be coming out before the Black Panther and you should go and see those as well. The Black Panther does not come out until next year but I think that it is worth the wait. I am going to conclude with, we are an awesome people. Every American, every person, every body, we are a great people. We all have talents that we enjoy and use daily. If we are blessed enough to be able to use these skills to improve someone's day in some way shape or form then that gift did not go to waste. Thank you for reading, have a wonderful and blessed day. :) |
