Justine Skye JUSTINE SKYE In an age where influence and reach is determined by the amount of followers one has on social media, Justine Skye effortlessly dominates the competition. The R&B singer-songwriter rose to notoriety simply by being herself and letting her undeniable vocal ability shine. In 2010, Justine covered Drake's "Headlines" and racked up nearly two million You Tube views purely from word of mouth. Since then, Justine's popularity has only grown with over 40,000 followers on both Tumblr and Instagram respectively. But if you ask the violet curly-haired chanteuse how she and her group of eclectic and creative friends continue to stand out and keep people's attention, she'll tell you its all organic. "We're just being ourselves, living our lives and putting our pictures on the Internet. I think what people like most about me is that I keep it real. I'm just real with you." Justine was 8 years old when her grandfather, Assemblyman N. Nick Perry of the 58th Assembly District in Brooklyn, New York realized she had a gift. Justine accompanied Perry to political events where she would often sing the National Anthem and the Black National Anthem. However, Justine was still nervous about her talent. "I always knew I could sing, I just didn't think I was that great because of all the other singers out there. In my mind, I was like 'I'm just a girl from Brooklyn.' " Justine soon left her insecurities at the door. In 2010 she attended a BMI music panel with her mother, entertainment lawyer, Nova Perry, who has represented everyone from Eightball & MJG, Lloyd, Machine Gun Kelly and Eric Hudson. It was during the Q&A portion, Justine surprised everyone. "They were talking and I don't even know what they were talking about but I just knew there were a lot of music executives. During the Q&A, I walked up, grabbed the mic, and I asked 'Can I sing for you guys?' they were like sure. I sang "Black and Gold" by Sam Sparro and that's when my mom realized I was serious about singing because that was really gutsy to do." After wowing the panel, Justine began to make strides towards her career, which included vocal lessons and writing songs about her every day life, which she would then turn into songs. In 2012, Justine started working with producers August Rigo and Eric Hudson whose musical resume includes Justin Bieber, Sean Kingston, Kanye West and Mary J. Blige. On the seven-track EP, which helped her ink a deal with Atlantic Records, Justine fuses traditional 90s soul, but also sprinkles in hip-hop, alternative and dub-step elements to create a unique sound unlike anything in today's musical landscape. The free-flowing harmonies and relaxed beats are reflective of Justine's calm, laid-back demeanor. When writing and recording, Justine said there's no structure in the studio, she just does what came naturally to her. "August and Eric would ask me how I’ve been? How I'm feeling? Whatever mood I was in they would then create a beat around my mood, and we lay down melodies and start writing. We let it feel its ways out and once we have the melody and the beat then we start developing the story once the foundation has been established. It’s all random." Justine also realizes the impact that she along with her music will have on other brown-skin girls. Justine isn't naive to the fact that there aren't a lot of entertainers who look like her, and hopes with her music, other girls will learn to love themselves. "A lot of young girls come up to me and say I make them love their skin. A lot of dark-skin women feel insecure because they only really see the light-skin women in entertainment, you don't see brown-skin women singing. If I can make it, I think it'll give a lot more girls hope." Justine is proof being yourself not only works, but is contagious. There's no gimmick or planning behind her talent and relatable personality. Justine isn't trying to impress; she's just living her life. "I want people to know who I am I want people to know how I think. All my songs are personal. I just want people to connect to my music and to me.” .

    Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

  • Rock Around the Clock” Started out As a Highly‐Underrated Pop Song; It Wound up Being a Snapshot of Teenage Life in the Mid‐1950’S
    1, 2, 3 O’Clock, 4 O’Clock, Rock… “Rock Around the Clock” started out as a highly‐underrated pop song; it wound up being a snapshot of teenage life in the mid‐1950’s. Written at some point in late 1952, the song almost went nowhere…twice. In winter 1953, songwriter Max Freedman had the song transcribed for the purpose of publishing the music. He sold co‐authorship of the song to James Myers (Jimmy DeKnight) in exchange for publishing the song and, one presumes, for seeking an artist to record it. Freedman died in 1962, and Myers’ story after that varied, but we know that after registering the copyright for the song, James Myers approached Bill Haley about recording it. “And what? Haley didn’t like it?” Quite the opposite: Bill Haley wanted to record it right away. By this time Haley was having a regional hit with “Crazy, Man, Crazy,” and was looking for new material to take his band to the top. According to members of the Comets, the group tested the popularity of the song by introducing it to live audiences. Apparently the first audience to hear “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and his Comets was at the Hofbrau Hotel in Wildwood, NJ, in July, 1953. Although the crowds liked it, Haley’s producer did not. Dave Miller refused to record “Rock Around the Clock” for Essex Records – apparently because Miller and Myers were not on friendly terms. Myers’ business partner, Jack Howard, pitched the song to Paschall Salvatore Vennitti (better known as Sonny Dae).
