Welcome to the brand new Carnival of Music! This is the first time the music carnival has been hosted on Unreality Music. I was hoping for a fairly good response rate, and I got one! So, without further ado….
Charles Modiano is urging a fresh look at the rap world with a thought-provoking piece on how you can save hip-hop. On the subject of hip-hop, BeefJerkyBlog has a free hookup to the DefinitiveSwim album, so go check that out. Let me know if it’s any good.
Marc and Angel posted a great rundown of three online music stations that you should check out if you’re into discovering new artists. I’ll give you two more for free: Virb.com and MySpace. You might have to go hunting, but both sites have amazing music on them.
Tupelo Kenyon’s great personal development blog looks at the effects of music on personal development. A long post, but worth the read. While you’re at it, check out OFan’s post about the awesome healing powers of Olivia Newton-John….
Hands up if you’re a budding video director. You are? Well, Armani Blog tells us about a search for an upcoming music video director in their Passion At First Sight competition.
In possibly the most tenuous link in this carnival, Money Is The Way blog gives us biography of Blind Banker Jefferson. That’s right - being a banker would give me the blues too.
You want a short history of Radiohead? ‘Head’ on over to theRadiohead-Head blog, where they have all you need to know about the band…
Possibly the most fun post of the carnival - Riding With Rickey’s review of Macca’s new album. Writing about himself in the first person is a brilliant tactic. Gerard approves, Rickey!
D M Cook sent me a couple of different links, but I could only include one as this carnival is pretty link-heavy already! So go check out his review of Shpongle’s Tales Of The Inexpressible. I’m interested….wonder where I can hear a sample?
Album covers can become iconic designs that define an era. I’m thinking any Hendrix album cover, GNR’s Appetite For Destruction…things like that. But when album art goes wrong, that’s another story. Thanks to Mark for the link.
Mike Estep wrote in with a strongly felt post about how talent is overrated for musicians. Practice makes perfect and all that….
If you really are serious about learning a new instrument, check out this post about learning the guitar over on Music Beginnings.

If you’re looking for some great new talent you should check out Kyrie. Her vocals are incredible and her sonwriting abilities are top-notch. She has videos of some of her performances here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmYMmNWMjWA
