Posters shopping made easy!

By Mike Duke

How many of us have stared at an empty spot on the wall and tried to figure out the best way to cover it? Running from one flea market to the next to find an antique candle sconce or wrought iron wall sculpture is time consuming and, in the end, can become quite expensive. The same counts for innovative modern art, which may be the talk of the town for a while, but eventually will become trivial and forgotten.

Believe it or not, there are other attractive accessorizing options, which will be pleasing to both your pocket book and your eyes. They are called posters, and are sturdy pieces of printed paper art specifically designed to be attached to a wall or other vertical surface. They come in various sizes and are loved by young and old.

Posters can be mass produced or personalized, and because of the wide selection of topics they represent, they can tickle just about anyones fancy. Even the fervent collector could probably find a suitable poster, regardless if he is fanatic about old cars, airplanes, Disney or Audrey Hepburn.

An inviting island, a sleeping baby tucked away in a daisy, a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado... if you are trying to locate one of these specific pictures, look no more. At posterworld.com.au you can find almost anything you have your mind set on, even door posters, of which this company presents the largest collection available in Australia. Furthermore, this company offers premium services, which include quality matt or glossy laminated products.

From personal to industrial use, posters have paved the advertising way for many businesses. Colorful, loaded with fine art, slogans, logos and catchy phrases, posters are an effective and inexpensive way to introduce products, services, events, charity functions, celebrities and ideas to the world. They can also be part of a political campaign. Posters used for outdoor use can be reinforced and are water resistant.

The human effort to imitate, supplement, beautify, or alter the work of nature is referred to as art by some people. Art has no limits and can display itself in many sizes, shapes and forms. Because of the artistic talent that often goes into the making of the prints, posters are also classified as art. It is unbelievable the lengths some artists will go through to deliver new and innovative designs for their posters, which by the way, can also be called wall stickers and placards.

It would be virtually impossible to list all the varieties of posters that have flooded the market by now. We can certainly mention a few, starting with those used in classroom settings. These samples educate and motivate students of all ages, from the alphabet to the periodic table of elements. Posters are also used as artwork reproductions and have been known to brighten up many childrens rooms. On the other side, posters can also be used to communicate. It would not be the first time propagandists and protestors relied on posters to boldly display their political messages and shake the community.

How to display or preserve a private poster collection is up to the owner. Some people do not really care and just pin their price possessions to the wall, while others cover them with a glass sheet or slide their prints in double-stitched, clear vinyl sleeves. Those who want long-lasting enjoyment from their assets will completely frame them, while the extremist may present his vintage beer poster in a fluorescent display unit. Whatever way these poster lovers choose, they all have one thing in common... they truly understand that posters can really make a difference! - 18780

Being on tour is tough.

By Kate Miller

If you've ever dreamed of being a rock-star who gets all the girls you are probably in for a rude awakening. It rarely works out that way and most musicians end up touring underfunded and under-promoted.

You dream of first-class hotels and swarms of adoring hands hounding you on your way to boarding a private jet. What you will usually find is 4 smelly guys fighting over the last ham sandwich, which is probably old and stale anyway. Instead of fine dining it's slim pickings at whatever crummy convenience mart you stop at gas for.

About two days in you are completely exhausted. Traveling from town to town and never having a comfortable bed to sleep in will do that to a person. You are busy and working hard even when you aren't playing.

There tends to be a lot of fighting between band and tour members. On top of being tired you are spending tons of time with the same people under less than perfect circumstances. Think about it. Even band that make millions touring break up because they can't stand being in the same room as the other guys.

Musicians endure a lot for doing what they love. The energy from the crowd can make it all worth it. The joy of performing and having others appreciate what they have created is one of the greatest things a musical artist has the privilege of feeling.

Living out the dream of being a musician is what keeps them on the road. Creating music and sharing it with others is the goal of every artist. The vast majority will never make much money and only love for music will keep a musician going. - 18780

How To Purchase A Guitar

By Brian Hughes

When you are buying a new guitar one of the most relevant things you should ask the seller or at least have in mind is what kind of music do you want to play with this new guitar.

Whether you want to play hard rock, heavy metal, country, jazz and everything in between, the most recommended is that you should start using an acoustic guitar. After you are comfortable with an acoustic, you will find playing the electric guitar much easier.

Absolutely anybody can start playing rock with an electric guitar with a terrific multi effects unit. But you should start using an acoustic guitar or even an electric acoustic guitar. The main difference between an electric acoustic guitar and a regular acoustic guitar is very simple, both guitars are acoustic, but the difference is that the electric one has electronics in it to be able to use it with an amp as well.

On the other hand between a classical and a regular acoustic guitar is a clear difference in the make of the strings. In the classical guitar, the string is manufactured by nylon which produces a more opaque and dull sound. A traditional acoustic guitar produces a more brilliant sound with steel or nickel strings.

Once you have determined the purpose you need a new guitar, the next step is comparing brands, quality and prices. There are several brands in the market but I always recommend that you try to find the best quality of the instrument you can afford.

Sometimes you are playing something and if you are a newbie or beginner performer you are going to think that the problem is your playing. Sometimes the instrument doesn't help you to move forward and this is the reason why you should choose a high quality instrument. - 18780

The Power of Live Music Concerts

By Ian Sawyer

When considering the power of Live music, it's easy to be quite literal. For instance, I remember attending a Tool concert at a small arena in Massachusetts around the time they released the popular Lateralus. My girlfriend, at the time, and myself took our positions on the general admission floor somewhat early and were present for a bit of the bass tech's sound check. Each strum of Justin Chancellor's significantly tuned-down bass guitar actually seemed to lift us off the floor and make our hair stand on end. I found it quite exhilarating.

Well, my girlfriend was reduced to a nauseous mess even before the concert began. She claimed it was the Fast-Food we ate before the show that drove her, vomiting, to the women's room as Tool took the stage. Days later, when talking to a friend who knows a thing or two about the science of sound, I confirmed what I had suspected: it turns out that incredibly powerful low-end frequencies can effect the physical constitution of a concertgoer. Tool had claimed the stomach of my girlfriend.

The buzz of Live music can be powerful in a philosophical sense, as well. I've attended plenty of concerts where the next morning I felt a hollow sadness, and a longing to relive the previous night's glory. The hours before, during, and after a great concert can transport a music fan to a whole other world, regardless of any booze, drugs, or other chemical enhancements.

There is an intimacy is established with not just other concertgoers, but with the band itself. Why else would generations of Grateful Dead fans dedicate much of their lives to following a group of hippies around the country? Live performances are moving, both physically and emotionally.

As time goes, in live music history, a lot of things have changed since those early days of, say, Woodstock. Venues of every size, shape, and character have included speakeasy-like basements, local clubs, sports arenas, outdoor pavilions, and even massive stadiums. Through it all, the concentrated community that is established during each live show has maintained a unique electric bond. Sure, peaceful sway dancing has been replaced with the visceral, and sometimes violent, crush of sweating bodies.

It is also interesting to note that cell phones have replaced lighters as a fan's beacon of light. And general admission 'mosh' pits have replaced seated floor plans. Still, fans remain bound together under one raftered roof, held together by the occasional audience-sweeping spotlight, and the glorious chorus that everyone knows by heart.

In Live Music Concerts, the audience makes each song their own as they sing along and pump their fists to the music. This, in the end, is the true power of live music-that it brings together masses of people who wouldn't otherwise give each other a second look or moment of acknowledgement. Whether in the brooding darkness of the club, or in the brilliant afternoon sunshine of a football stadium, when our favorite band is onstage, we all rock together as one. - 18780
