The Flip Side - Media Bias/Fact Check In English, A-side and B-side are terms frequently used to refer to the two sides of phonograph records and cassettesoften directly on the labels of two-sided music recording themselves. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to receive the initial promotional effort and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side or "flip-side" is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been equally or more successful than their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the early 21st century, given that the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formatssuch as CDsdownloads and streamingwhich do not have physical sides. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms A-side and B-side metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with The Flip Side sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material. The first sound The Flip Side were produced in the late 19th century using cylinder recordswhich held approximately two minutes of audio stored upon a single round surface. One-sided disc records made of shellac co-existed with cylinders and had a similar capacity. InColumbia Records introduced double-sided recordings with one selection on each side in European markets. Although cylinders and discs remained comparable and competitive for a time both media would be able to hold between three and four minutes of sound byultimately, discs superseded the cylinder format, rendering it obsolete bylargely due to its shorter play times. Record producers did not initially have reason to value either side of double-sided records as being more important than the other. There were no record charts until the s, and most radio stations did not broadcast recorded music until the s, when the The Flip Side 40 radio format overtook full-service network The Flip Side. The term "single" came into popular use with the advent of vinyl records in The Flip Side early s. During this period, most record labels would designate one song an A-side and the other a B-side at random. All records have specific identifiers for each side in The Flip Side to the catalog number for the record itself; the "A" side would typically be assigned a sequentially lower number. Under this random system, many artists had so- called "double-sided hits", where both songs on a The Flip Side made one of the national sales charts in BillboardCashboxor other magazinesor would be featured on jukeboxes in public places. Conventions shifted in the early s, at which point record companies started assigning the song they wanted radio stations to play to side A, as 45 rpm single records "45s" dominated most markets in terms of cash sales in comparison to albumswhich did not fare as well financially. Throughout the decade the industry would slowly shift to an album-driven paradigm for releasing new music; it was not until that the total production of albums on a unit basis finally surpassed that of singles in the United Kingdom. However, since the majority of the 45s were played on AM radio stations that were not yet equipped for stereo broadcast, stereo was not a priority. Nevertheless, FM rock stations did not like to play monaural content, so the record companies adopted a protocol for promotional recordings for disc jockeys with the mono version of a song on one side and a stereo version of the same The Flip Side on the other. By the early s, album sales had increased and double-sided hit singles had become rare. Record companies started to use The Flip Side as a means of promoting albums; they frequently placed album tracks that they The Flip Side to promote on side A and less accessible, non-album, instrumental songs on side B.

Smith Master of Music School of Music and Dance June 2018 Title: Football Crowd Behavioral Responses to a University Marching Band’s Musical Prompts Decades of market research have investigated how music can influence consumer purchase, food consumption, and alcoholic drinking. Before market researchers declared music an influencer of atmospheric perception, sociologists discovered the sway of music on crowd collective action in sporting events, political rallies, and societal unrest. There remains a lack of research on how live music may influence football fan behavior during a game. Therefore, this study observed the number of behavioral responses from university students elicited by a university marching band’s music prompts (N = 11) at an American university football game.

  • Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999
    Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date.

  • Kings of Leon Will Be the First Band to Release an Album As An
    1. Mark your confusion. 2. Show evidence of a close reading. 3. Write a 1+ page reflection. Kings of Leon Will Be the First Band to Release an Album as an NFT The band’s revolutionary tokens will unlock special perks like limited-edition vinyl and front row seats to future concerts Source: Samantha Hissong, RollingStone.com, March 3, 2021 On Friday, Kings of Leon will release their new album, titled When You See Yourself, in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT) — becoming the first band to ever do so. The band is actually dropping three types of tokens as part of a series called “NFT Yourself,” people involved in the project tells Rolling Stone. One type is a special album package, while a second type offers live show perks like front-row seats for life, and a third type is just for exclusive audiovisual art. All three types of tokens offer art designed by the band’s longtime creative partner Night After Night; the smart contracts and intelligence within the tokens were developed by YellowHeart, a company that wants to use blockchain technology to bring value back to music and better direct-to-fan relationships. A quick rundown: NFTs are a type of cryptocurrency, but instead of holding money, they can hold assets like art, tickets, and music. NFTs operate on a blockchain, which is a publicly accessible and transparent network — meaning anyone can see the details of any NFT transaction. Computers involved in the transactions become part of the network, which keeps updating and can’t be hacked due its nature as many-headed hydra.

  • BIG BAND MUSIC: the Rise and Fall This Essay Discusses the Rise and Fall of Big Band Music
    BIG BAND MUSIC: The rise and fall This essay discusses the rise and fall of big band music. It includes a back ground to the music industry of the 30's and 40's, as well as a lengthy discussion on World War II and its side effects. 8 pages long. BIG BAND MUSIC INTRODUCTION Big band music solely occupied the Billboard Hot 100 charts, the world's most important music indicator, between 1930-1955 longer then any other style of music in the twentieth century. The only two runners up were Rock & Roll and Disco, which dominated the charts between 1956-1959 and 1976-1979 respectively. Despite these statistics, big band music fell and this study will attempt to explain the elements that led to its fall. This essay will begin with a description of the rise of big band music in order to provide the reader with a back ground to the music industry of the 30's and 40's. The discussion will focus on the fall of big band music and its association with World War II. ORIGINS Big Band music evolved out of the Jazz band era of the twenties. The 20’s experienced a talent boom producing musicians like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, and King Oliver, amongst others, which coupled with the Harlem Renaissance, made available many musicians transforming the average five member Jazz bands into bigger bands. In fact the origins of big band comes from bands like Duke Ellington's enlarged band at the Cotton Club In Harlem, Earl Hines big band in Chicago, and Louis Armstrong at the Savoy in Harlem.

  • Show Design and Wind Arranging for Marching Ensembles
    Show Design and Wind Arranging for Marching Ensembles Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Michael Brennan, B.M.E. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Professor Daryl W. Kinney, Advisor Professor Timothy Gerber Professor Thomas Wells Director Jonathan Waters Copyrighted by John Michael Brennan 2014 Abstract The purpose this study is to illustrate current trends in show design and wind arranging within the marching band and drum corps activity. Through a comprehensive review of literature a need for further study on this subject was discovered. Specifically, texts from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s focused primarily on marching band arranging practices with minimal influence of show design. Since the 1980s, several documents have been written that discuss show design with some degree of detail, but have neglected to thoroughly address changes in marching band arranging. It is the aim of this thesis to discuss current trends and techniques in marching band wind arranging, and the higher level of detail placed into show conceptualization used by drum corps, competitive, and show band. ii Dedication To Rachael, the most patient, loving, and caring wife a husband could ever ask for. To my daughter Ellie Ann, who I cannot wait to meet in the coming weeks. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, my family has helped me immensely both in my personal and professional life. It is without their support, witty commentary (especially from my brother’s), and encouragement that I have been able to work in a field I am passionate about.
