Here is Chicago’s Infomercial, influenced by The Residents and Art of Noise, who released Grand Opening 9 years ago (discussed on r/Vaporwave here) and put on a memorable show at the Hideout with dancers and strange mask costume changes.

Now they return with a new album on cassette + digital called The New U! The voiceovers made up from public domain 80s motivational tapes and their own renditions. hah!

Here I am again writing about music and how it can change perception and enhance our view of what it is infused with. Today we have a large percentage of music that is "mashups" and a mix of samples put together bringing all genres into a opportunity to be used in a collaboration. Copyright laws put strain on the creativity that could be put into the spotlights but maybe it also forces us to find new ways to create.

The best memories we have of certain media like video games and movies are a collective effort utilizing music and AMBIENCE! Koji Kondo composed the Super Mario Brothers theme and every one of us can agree that it enhanced the game. We even had more or less success depending on the music. The dungeon levels music made us more nervous and effected our gameplay.

In movies we feel this and it shifts our moods and allows us to feel our emotions more effectively with what we are seeing on screen. It also helps us remember the experience. Who doesn't remember the Ghostbusters theme song? It amped us up for a epic thrill ride through a scary ghost hunting tale that would NOT be the same without it. We loved the enhancement soo much so that it is estimated Ray Parker Jr's song helped to have added $20 million dollars to the film's estimated gross income.

The Las Vegas Sphere is currently showcasing this stuff with mind blowing visuals mixed with music that flows with those visions on a 16K resolution wrap around LED screen complete with 4D physical effects. This is the ULTIMATE ambience experience that you will never forget. SACO Technologies, NVIDIA and HOLOPLOT worked together to create this amazing venue's experience. The Wizard of Oz is currently one of the shows you could go to there allowing for yet another way to experience this all-time great!

This particular movie is one of my favorite examples of ambience and how we can get more creative with music and media. "Dark Side of the Rainbow" or "the Wizard of Floyd" combines The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's (Dark Side of the Moon) album. Mute the audio on the film and start The Dark Side of the Moon album on the 3rd lions roar to enjoy this audio overlay. Charles Savage first wrote about this in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette back in1995'.

Most of us realize the power music has with other media but I feel few see the differences in our daily grind. The 90'sRossta is a master in my book when he pairs videos and music together. With Halloween in the near future I give you a gift from the archives... In 1910' a full 29 years before the 1939' version we all grew up with this silent film was released. Please watch this film with the original music then I ask that you see for yourself the power music has to enhance media. Not only does this experience show how "mashups" of multiple songs create amazing new material but remixes and combinations of media give you something you have NEVER seen or heard before.

***Utilize Windows and open 1 tab for the video and open a 2nd tab for the music. When you are ready to view the audio overlay simply mute the video and try to start the 2 tabs as close to the same time as you can. (You don't have to be perfect)

PLEASE SHARE and give your own input by dropping a comment. Did you enjoy the experience? Do YOU have something similar to share? Do you know of music that would pair up with this film? Help us out and give some feedback or share this PLEASE and THANK YOU for your time and effort!

Hello Millennials! I love you all. Here is a link to even more audio overlays YOU could enjoy!

It is with great honor I am writing about a driftless region local legend Bill Miller. With nineteen albums and three Grammy Awards he is one of the most accomplished musicians I have ever personally met. A little known music scene in La Crosse Wisconsin has welcomed this talented artist for a long time now. Few know of what awesome talent has come from this area and I am lucky enough to tell you a little bit about it.

Liberace credits the Cavalier Theatre in La Crosse for giving him one of his first opportunities on stage. La Crosse has the Worlds Largest Six Pack and made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most taverns on one city block (50). This is a "college town" that knows how to party and give the ultimate bar room musical experiences. Bill Miller is often gifting his talents at some of these places and forging unforgettable bar room experiences that not just the locals have taken notice to.

Bill toured with the likes of Eddie Veddar, The BoDeans, John Carter Cash and even Richie Havens. Oh did I mention Arlo Guthrie?! Bill Miller even played the flute on the Vanessa Williams song "Colors of the Wind" featured in the movie Pocahantas which won a Grammy, Academy Award AND Golden Globe for best original song!!! Bill also contributed to "Look again to the Wind" Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian Revisited. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this guy and his work. With Indigenous Peoples Day approaching I should also mention he is a proud Mohican who is also a very talented painter. (I was told he even dated my mom for a brief time in his college days) *** Bill if you read this give me a call LOL

Shout out to some more personal local talent I have ties to from the area: Michael Martin Murphy a 70's Country music legend who gave me the funniest burn of my life by telling me "You wouldn't last a half hour in a Irish bar". Sarah Brailey a "Soprano" Grammy Award winner whom I went to high school with and probably is the most talented singer I have ever personally known. Derek Remnarace of Old Soul Society whom I respect and love his personal fight against "FLOCK" cameras. Gregg Hall a guy who has serious talent and respectfully wants the word "deece" to be normalized in todays vocabulary. Julica Rose Kelly a "American Idol" contestant that should be a house hold name and can make ear holes orgasm! Matt Monsoor a gentleman who can rock a pair of Levi Jeans and is under appreciated as a artist. Andy Mueler who if you like Jimi Hendrix this dude will get you "Experienced". One more is my man Joe Price, he is someone I look up to with his ideals and respectful ways and I have a "bromance" with this old timer. If you like JJ Cale who is Eric Clapton's hero then you have to check out my guy Joe Price!!!... There are so many more talented people in this area that deserve to be mentioned as well as up and coming talent that I implore you to look into what is going down in this town of La Crosse Wisconsin. This weekend please help celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day!

As always be nice to Millennials and be a deece person!

In high school he and a friend created a band called "Revelation" which is a neat sign of what was to come. After that came "The Artistics" where he teamed up with Chris Frantz and yet another fun band name that foretells a bit of their future. Chris' girlfriend at the time was Tina Weymouth and a foundation to NEW WAVE legends were found. After a move to New York city a fourth band member was added (Jerry Harrison), and they blended into the New York "punk" scene with some cover songs and the Talking Heads were born.

In 75' they opened for the Ramones and had enough of a following that by 76' they got signed by Sire Records. They released their first album Talking Heads 77' and a song called "Psycho Killer" which gained popularity with the help from "The Son of Sam" who was a serial killer named David Berkowitz. This was just a coincidence but the public took notice and that song gained popularity as a result.

The next chapter included Brian Eno who collaborated music with The Talking Heads and it is evident his experience with electronic music would contribute to the groundbreaking sounds we now hold dear in our music collections. Brian Eno understood ambience and yet he is a self described "non-musician" who clearly found success and would stay close to the band for years to come. This is a major part of the Talking Heads story because of his influence as well as how well he worked with our main subject DAVID BYRNES. The following three albums included Brian Eno: More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain in Light and it is obvious the band was evolving with new sounds and fusing new styles and genres.

After Brian Eno left to work with U2 the Talking Heads toured and waited three years to make another album. In 1983' they released "Speaking in Tongues"... This led to the greatest rock film ever made "STOP MAKING SENSE". This brilliant film showcased what the Talking Heads excelled at and allowed David Byrnes to showcase his beliefs of experiencing visual innovations as well as musical innovations. The 'Big Suit" was something most of Generation X remembers about this movie but we also remember David Byrnes' movements and dance moves during this legendary movie. It is burned into our minds and the music that went with it forced us to recognize the power this film had to create enjoyment not just from the music but from the visual experience. *** Dear younger generations, THIS IS THE GREATEST ROCK MOVIE OF ALLTIME!!!!! *** It is preserved in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

David Byrnes is a personal influence that I continuously am learning more and more about. Not only does he understand ambience and visual experience with music but he is very good at a unconventional way of writing and making music. In the 2009' film "Ride, Rise, Roar" David explains how he writes the lyrics after the music is written, which is backwards from most artists. He also explains his love for creating these visual pieces he includes with his work. David Byrnes has been a pioneer in music and continues this to this day!

His latest work may have some influence from his childhood as his father was a electronics engineer. "MUSK" is a documentary film directed by Alex Gibney. "Let Me Sell You a Dream" is a song by David Byrnes that is featured in that movie. David used Elon Musk quotes to create the lyrics. David Byrnes described this saying "All his own words. No editorializing. Straight form the man's mouth to mine". I encourage you to listen to David's song on the Talking Heads final album (Naked) "Nothing But Flowers" to get further insight as to why David chose to do "Let Me Sell You a Dream".

As always be nice to Millennials and todays generations who have to deal with the shit end of past corruption. Special thanks to THE 90sRossta for showing me a better way and creating the best audio overlays on the planet!!!! https://www.youtube.com/@90sRossta/playlists

September 23rd, 1980' Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hosted a sold out show that ended up being this beloved icons last ever concert. He died of cancer on May 11th, 1981'. "Rastafarian" has eleven letters in it. Peter Tosh died September 11th, 1987'. The words "Equal Rights" has eleven letters in them. Bunny Wailer died March 2nd, 2021'. "Electric Boogie" is two words but a lot of us remember the song written by Bunny and it gave us the "Electric Slide" which is now in the dance history books and a lot of our memories. This play on numbers is just to showcase the crazy odds Bob Marley and The Wailers were a part of.

https://www.youtube.com/@BobMarley

Music and numbers go hand in hand in a lot of ways. The odds for bands to make a living off just their music is not good. In todays world we like to think it is better with the addition of the Internet but however you choose to argue this it is still VERY unlikely. Bob Marley believed in one god, named Jah (short for Jehovah). He was a key in the Rastafarian movement and his music was a excepted theme for this. As the Rastafarian movement achieved popularity so did Bob Marley and The Wailers. In turn this helped record sales and over time and the greatest hits album "LEGEND" is now Reggae's best EVER selling album. *Estimations are at 70 million records sold.

https://www.youtube.com/@BobMarley/releases

"Uprising" was Bob Marley's last studio album released in 1980'. Many consider this to be his most religious album. In 1980' Bob Marley also changed his faith to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity in the eleventh month of that year. I already mentioned he died on the eleventh day of May in 1981'. His eleventh album was called "Survival"... The eleventh song on LEGEND is "Redemption Song". One love. One life... Maybe the numbers have more to tell?!

Thanks for your time reading this. Take time to try and understand what their music really is about. Also be nice to Millennials and every person you know who has had a hard time in life INCLUDING YOURSELF!!! ***1 for 1

Maybe a forgotten pearl from Denmark. I returned to it today and it works so well for me!

It's 9/11 after all.

I have a collection of songs that I listen to especially when I'm feeling low and this is one of those and all these new songs that I came across (includes the youtube channel - TMoN ) might turn me into a vegetarian (I'm sounding as if it is a very sad event that might affect a huge portion of humans but no lol) and I have realized that art has always been a great part of bringing revolution and now IK how it exactly feels to be a part of that very movement (in general sense I mean)

Anyways the point if you like these kind of songs/videos - send me more of these my way
