Glitter and Stardust: It's Glam Week!

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person! Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!" said Oscar Wilde in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and repeated by Brian Slade, a fictional, yet suggestive rock star (are there any other?) in Todd Haynes glam movie "Velvet Goldmine". He also says something very important when asked why the make-up: "Why? Because rock and roll's a prostitute! It should be tarted up! Performed! The music is the mask, while I, in my chiffon and taff - well - varda the message!"

Let's celebrate the Glam Rock Week:

It's Neo Soul Week!

"Neo soul is a term coined by music industry entrepreneur Kedar Massenburg during the late 1990s to market and describe a style of music that emerged from soul and contemporary R&B. Heavily based in soul music, neo soul is distinguished by a less conventional sound than its contemporary R&B counterpart, with incorporated elements ranging from jazz, funk, and hip hop to pop, fusion, and African music."

It's House Week!

"House music is a style of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized in mid-1980s discothèques catering to the African-American, Latino American communities; first in Chicago circa 1984, then in other cities such as New York City, Newark, Toronto, Montreal, London, Detroit, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami. It then reached Europe largely due to the infamous House Music Tour visiting England. England played a pivotal role in the development of house music throughout Europe. Since the early to mid-1990s, it has become infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide." (Wiki)

Party time...

It's Blues Rock Week!

"Blues rock is a musical genre combining bluesy improvisations and extended boogie jams with rock and roll styles. The core of the blues rock sound is created by the electric guitar, bass guitar and drum kit, with the electric guitar usually amplified through a tube guitar amplifier, giving it an overdriven character. The style began to develop in the mid-1960s in England and the United States." (Wiki)

It's Rockabilly Week!

"Rockabilly started in the mid-50s at the dawn of Rock & Roll with the influential recordings Elvis Presley made for Sun Records. Originally it was Country musicians playing their own version of uptempo Rhythm & Blues music, resulting in this new style. It usually features driving guitars, frantic vocals and slap-back echo in the bass. Rockabilly still has a big following with new artists emerging every year."
