Miley Cyrus's Led Zeppelin Cover

Miley Cyrus knows how to rock it. As my point of view, she may look like a girl with several disorders on her life, but I think she is smart and she is in touch her feelings, emotions and her brain.

This time I was really surprised when I saw "Miley Cyrus's Led Zeppelin Cover". I thought it would be a complete disaster, but she proved me wrong. Miley Cyrus covered the song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". The video is Below

The cover has her brand mark in there


This is the original song

Better than Beats (Audio)

You've heard about Beats by Dr. Dre, and Bose headphones, and maybe you think they're pretty good. Well those famous brands had better watch their backs, according to Consumer Reports Magazine, because headphones by Grado Labs out of Brooklyn NY are better than both of them.

Named the top-rated headphone model, the $300 Grado 325 was deemed superior to any of the models made by Beats or Bose. At any price. In June, Grado released an update to the model, called the 325e, which delivers even more bang for your buck.



These are headphones for serious listening, not for commuting.
The 325e model is said to have "Less bling, more zing", a comment Consumer Reports found to be right on target. Like our Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

"I don't especially care what my headphones look like" the reviewer says. "I can't see them while I'm wearing them, and I'm not counting on headphones to enhance my admittedly low social status. But I do want them to sound good, and in this area the 325 headphones excel, providing excellent overall sound, with a neutral to cool character".


There's plenty more technical information on the Grado Labs website.

Audio: Bluetooth vs Wires

For this comparison we will take some sample that are alike within some aspects and make a fair comparison between them.

The items are the following: 


Mini Beat Boxx: Portable Bluetooth Speaker




Logitech: Z120 Stereo Speakers

Price
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
$25.95

Z120 Stereo Speakers
$24.95


Portability
Portable Bluetooth Speaker

  • 5 hours of battery (Built-in Rechargeable Battery)
  • Can play while charging (Micro USB to USB cable)


Z120 Stereo Speakers
  • No wall outlet required—get power from the USB port on your PC.

Sound Quality
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • One 3w output speaker
  • Signal to Noise: Over 95dB
  • Distortion: Less than 0.5%

Z120 Stereo Speakers
  • Two 0.6w output speakers (1.2w total)
  • Signal to Noise: Not Avail
  • Distortion: Not Avail

Compatibility

Mexican: Whats Mariachi and Banda?

Traditional Mexican music can often be defined by the types of ensembles or bands who perform it. Common traditional ensemble types include

Mariachi
Mariachi bands are perhaps the best known traditional ensemble. They are the international face of traditional Mexican music. Mariachi bands originated in the Mexican region of Jalisco in the mid-1800s and were originally, in essence, wedding bands. The popularity of Mariachi ensembles spread quickly throughout Mexico. In 1907, Mariachis began earning an international reputation when the Mexican government chose a Mariachi band to perform for the visiting US Secretary of State.

The golden age of Mariachi music was the 1950s, when the bands were featured in a number of movies. Though Mariachi has never again met those heights, the bands remain internationally popular. Mariachis typically play a number of different traditional genres, including ranchera, polka and corrido.

The video below is an example of mariachi music featuring the singer Luis Miguel, you'll see a huge amount of people behind playing, that's the Mariachi. 





Banda
Banda can refer to a type of ensemble and a genre of music. Bandas are brass band collectives featuring brass, percussion and woodwind instruments. Banda ensembles were once a regional phenomenon. They appeared in Sinaloa in the 1880s and were extremely popular with the influx of Germans who moved into the region during that time. In the early 1900s, however, Bandas' influence spread all over Mexico as well over the border into Texas. This is an example below:

How to Prevent Seizures

Some people is benefit from decreased seizure activity as a result of listening to music.

It's been shown that music by Mozart played on the piano reduces seizure-causing activity in the brain within five minutes of exposure, with many cases showing immediate results in what scientists should called Seizure Wolfgang-banging. Mozart's music reproduction doesn't have to be directly from the piano, but hearing the frequencies out of a portable Bluetooth speaker will do the same work because, there appears to be a connection between our brains and piano music.



It's theorized that "the superorganization of the cerebral cortex . . . may resonate with the superior architecture of Mozart's music". Really though, this is another one of those medical shrug moments, as scientists really haven't figured it out yet. But still working, maybe the answer will come later, but the solution is here already.

Parents are changing Traditional Lullabies for Pop Songs

A study revealed that parents are changing traditional lullabies for famous pop songs, to sing their children to sleep 

Mother and fathers admitted they struggle to recall latter verses of the old favorites.

Half of the 2,000 parents polled even admitted their children preferred singing along to chart toppers, with just 15% still favoring nursery rhymes and lullabies.



Managing Director Jonathan Thorpe of John Crane Ltd, distributors of Symphony in B, said: 'It's only natural that parents are singing more modern songs to their children nowadays.
'We are surrounded by music every day, either on the radio, TV or in films, and often once you hear a song, you end up singing it without even realizing.

Evidence shows that children who listen to music are more likely to develop good language skills and all children find music and rhyme safe and comforting.
'They experience a release in dopamine which helps them sleep more soundly, cope with pain better and generally be calmer.



The study found that 88% of children like to listen to music with half most likely to choose a modern pop song over a nursery rhyme or lullaby.

The modern music isn't always a good thing though as a third of parents admit their child is more likely to settle down with a traditional nursery rhyme. Usually those parents like singing along with a low volume portable Bluetooth speaker

It also emerged that 89% of parents think it is important that their children listen to music.
And another 83% of parents hope that encouraging their children to listen to music from a young age means they will have an interest in listening to or playing music as they get older.



This is a list of some of the most listened songs on the survey

Bruno Mars - Just the way you are
Adele - Someone Like you
Rihanna - Umbrella
Robbie Williams - Angels
Rihanna - Diamonds
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
Oasis - Wonderwall
Taylor Swift - I knew you were Trouble


   

Music aids Parkinson


Victims of Parkinson's suffer from muscle spasms, locking muscles, balance problems and sketchy scientists with kick ass time machines. As it turns out, applying music can instantly resolve the physical issues of Parkinson's in many victims.

Take Rande Gedaliah, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003 and found she had muscle spasms, balance problems and difficulty walking. The disease eventually led to a serious fall in the shower. Things were looking pretty grim until one day she found out she could listen to music and suddenly be able to move with ease, the type of music determining the speed she walks at. 

When listening to music, have you ever noticed your foot tapping on its own? It's because the portions of the brain which deal with rhythm and movement are so automated that it requires no conscious attention to move to a beat. 



This movement isn't handled by the same process as walking up the stairs or hilariously farting with your armpit. Suddenly, patients with bradykinesia--an inability to initiate movement-- can move instantly as their brain interprets the music and sends movement signals to their legs, essentially tricking their bodies into moving. We'll say that again for you: Music can trick your broken, unresponsive body into obedience. 

Music also helps other Parkinson's-related issues, including loss of balance and spasms. It's also been found that playing music creates an improvement in people with the disease, and drum circles are being used as treatment in music therapy groups, presumably because drums are cheaper than fancy-ass medical equipment, anyway.

Get good Notes - 7 Steps

There were sometimes when I was about to take a math test at school, and I asked permission to the professor to listen to music while I take the test. When I was allow to, I was able to fully concentrate, to work faster and wasn't worry about the time at all. Always got a good note. 

It's been around a month since we got back to school. These are some tips to help you while studying, put music on your smartphone or computer and pair it to a portable Bluetooth speaker and have good notes.



1. Classical music is peaceful and harmonious making. Also you want to try ambient instrumental music. Those are the best options to listen to when studying.

2. It seems that there is evidence that Mozart improves mental performance. They call it the “Mozart Effect.”. But as we have discuss before, this effects actually lasts for around 15-20 minutes.

3. Listen to your study music at a moderate volume. The lower the better. The louder it is, the more it will distract you.

4. Listen to sounds of nature such as rain, waves, jungles or animals while studying. While this is not exactly music it is relaxing and you will feel like you’re in another world.



5. Create a playlist that last for 40 to 50 minutes. to avoid having to search for new songs every 5 minutes. When the playlist ends, this will act as a reminder to take a short break from studying.

6. Do not listen to music on the radio when studying. The dialogue of the presenters and ads will distract you.

7. Listen to music before you go to bed or before an exam. This will make you feel relaxed and put you in the right state of mind.

Should I listen to music when I meditate?

The idea that you should listen to music while meditating probably goes back to seeing meditation as little more than a means of relaxation.

There's a big but in the the idea in music meditation. If you’re trying to pay attention one-pointedly to your breathing, then you can’t also listen to music. 

Also, music produces pleasant feelings, which is why we listen to it. If those pleasant feelings are being supplied by “meditation music” then we won’t reach deeper into ourselves to find our own sources of happiness. 



We suggest that you try doing that, but I also suggest that you try doing it at a time when you’re not meditating.

I’d go further and suggest that listening to music, if done properly, can be a meditation in itself, just as walking or washing the dishes can be. 

You can take many activities and make them richer and more satisfying by taking more awareness into them. Music is just one example. 



If you’re going to listen to music as meditation then you have to take it seriously as a practice. Try not to do anything else at the same time. Make sure you’re in a comfortable position that supports alert attention. Sit or lie down comfortably, and just pay attention to the music. You’ll probably find that you enjoy it like never before.

Listen music is likely to be a distraction, or to artificially produce pleasant feelings, thus preventing us from finding those pleasant feelings from within. However it depends on the objective, using a portable Bluetooth speaker, music can be used to relax our feelings and pay close attention to the music can also be a form of meditation

Meditation Music

I am going to show you guys, some important aspects that we don't usually consider on our normal routine. Some of us are skeptical about this, or other just rather watch TV to relax. 

Meditation using music can be achieved. Sit comfortable, have near a portable Bluetooth speaker and listen to Binaural Frequencies, this frequencies encourage meditation. 

I leave you a video that would help us to understand what meditation is about.

Benefits from AudioBooks

Did you ever heard the term "audio-books"? Sounds crazy, isn't it? Well, this time I would like to introduce them to you. 
Audio-books, as it names implies, gives you the ability of reading a book without reading. The only thing you have to do is put some earphones, or put it on a bluetooth speaker and you will listen to the book while doing other activities. Something really great about some audio-books, is that, not all the voices are interpreted by the same person, each character has an individual voice, and I think that's fantastic. Some of the benefits of listening to audio-books are: 

Imagination, Spark your own sense of creativity and problem-solving abilities as you are exposed to new stories, thoughts and ideas.



Better Health, Relieve and reduce stress, tension and worries, and slow your heart rate as your thoughts are absorbed in a good story.

Save Time, Get more reading done by multi-tasking – Listen while doing the laundry, washing the dishes, mowing the lawn, etc. 


Definitely using audio-books is a power tool, if you are the kind of person that listens to music while doing home tasks or other tasks that does not require enough attention. Yo can use some headphones or connect your device to a portable speaker and get it done.

What Phone is has Better Sound Quality

So, there are two ways to discuss this: 
  • Listen to music straight from the phone
  • Hook up your phone to a sound system or use some headphones.

So, the results from a sound tests will let you decide which smartphone is the best fit for your music needs.

A different way to listen to music would be using Bluetooth Enable Devices and pair them to portable speaker.



Headphone output: plug it to a speaker, turn the volume up

This benchmark shows how much power your phone outputs from the 3.5mm headset jack. The higher the number, the more power you have, and the louder your tunes will sound when you plug your phone to a stereo system, be it at home, or in your car. Not just that, though, this value also shows how much power your headphones will get. Let us make it clear, though, that power does not mean quality - it just means how loud your tunes can sound, not how clean.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT


The higher the number is, the louder the sound through the connected headphones is going to be.

If, however, you plan on using just your phone to play music, you want it to be as loud as possible. The higher the number below, the louder the music will sound from the loudspeakers in your phone.
