I am doing an poetry anthology on SOUND…i need a good introduction…any ideas?
i need to talk about:
what the theme is – explain it
why is this an interesting theme?
why did i choose it?
if you guys have some points of idea – please help! i’m desperate! thanks in advance!
Since you are "doing an poetry anthology on sound", and you want from us a start to your introduction ….
Since it is an anthology – I do suppose that you have already collected the subject matter that you are working with. Since you must already have this information – please supply it to us for it is difficult to write about subject matter that does not exist.
Even a craftsman needs materials to create.
FYI
Anthology:
1 : a collection of selected literary pieces or passages or works of art or music
2 : assortment <an anthology of threadbare clichés of…bistro cuisine — Jay Jacobs>

So I finally got around to dropping the ducats for this collection of songs from the late 20s early 30 and I have to say it’s well worth it.
It was initially released in the early 50s and had a huge influence on the folk singers like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. I can’t really do this thing justice, better to read a few articles about it if you have time.

There’s a ton more, the thing is six discs total. Anyways, well worth the loot if it’s your kind of thing. Or I imagine you can steal it off the internet, *pretty sure* the guys who made these songs are all quite dead now.
I heard about that show he does on the satellite, I can only imagine the depth of knowledge the holmes possesses.
A few more I found:
The Wagoner’s Lad – Buell Kazee (1928)

i dont have that collection, but i do have all the songs you posted. looking at the track listing, i recognize about 30-40% of them, i wouldnt be surprised if i actually have about 70-80% of them. looks like a great collection. people need to pick this type of music up, much of it is still very fresh, especially if you dont mind a little of the old hiss and pop.
edit: sal- would that be the "bad man ballads" from the alan lomax southern journey collections? i love that one.
i am an as level english student & i have this essay i have been procrastinating all half term about. now the deadline is tomorrow and i just realised. it’s an essay on two anthology texts that are describing a tourist destination and i have to compare the two texts. the problem is i have no idea where to begin. i don’t know what to write and it’s due first thing tomorrow morning- please help me with anything. thanx
1) scrap paper, give yourself a goal of one hour to get down as much info as you can, don’t worry about accuracy now.
2) write good points and bad points about each text…and write the first things that come into your head.
3)Write down every key aspect that is described in each…again, just write, don’t think.
4)Now write which text gives the most information and the least. (important to just write the first things that come into your head, continue in this way)
5)Which is the most and the least appealing, ETC.
6)Now, you have your essay in rough, so plan your structure, intro ETC.
7)Well done, the hardest part is over, so give your self another time goal to correct mistakes.
8)Type it up.
Thinking about it is the hardest part, once you get stuck in, the idea’s will flow!
which dvd-collection of the WWE Anthologies is the best and why do you think so? If buying just one, which one would you choose?
….and why not go with summerslam?
Generally go with the WrestleMania one for a start but it depends what you like, if you’re a Royal Rumble fanatic get that, although alot of them don’t have very good matches surrounding them, I wouldn’t start with SummerSlam because most SummerSlam events are pretty average, and not required viewing, I’d go with WrestleMania because you’ll be watching these shows out of context and WrestleMania is the superbowl of the WWE.
Onto your other question "and why not go with summerslam"
Because the only great SummerSlams overall were 98, 00 & 02 whereas WrestleMania always has something entertaining on the show, Royal Rumble is always a fun event but can be boring watch them back to back
PLEASE HELP i need an example or 2 of a monosyllabic poem PLEASE HELP!

Here’s one.
An album you listen to to relax. Mine are:
1. Kind Of Blue — Miles Davis

BQ: Song you’d want played when you came up to bat in baseball
Fleet Foxes’ self-titled album
A previous question asks for Survivor Series Anthology’s theme song, which is erroneously answered "Ancient Voices." They composed the theme for the TV show Survivor, not WWE’s Survivor Series. Just thought that should be noted.
You can try here for more info on that.

The group was founded in 1961 by Bertha Barbee McNeal and Mildred Gill Arbor, students at Western Michigan University. Mildred recruited her younger sister Carolyn (also known as Cal/Caldin), who was in 9th grade, and Cal’s friend Betty Kelly, a junior in high school. Bertha recruited her cousin Norma Barbee, a freshman at Flint Junior College. Cal was chosen as the group’s lead singer.
A classmate at Western Michigan University, Robert Bullock, was Berry Gordy’s nephew, and he encouraged the group to audition for Motown Records. The group signed to Motown in late 1962 and started recording in January 1963. They recorded at the Hitsville USA studio and “There He Goes” and “That’s The Reason Why” produced by William Stevenson was released as a single via the IPG label (Independent Producers Group). The recordings included a young Stevie Wonder playing harmonica. While the group awaited their chance at stardom, they recorded for many producers, some of which were re-recorded by other artists including fellow labelmates, The Vandellas and The Supremes. The Velvelettes were not used to provide backing vocals since Motown already had its in-house backing group, the Andantes.
The Velvelettes got their break chartwise in the spring of 1964 thanks to young producer Norman Whitfield, who produced “Needle In A Haystack” as a single for the group, on Motown’s VIP imprint. “Needle In A Haystack” peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 in mid 1964. The group recorded its follow-up, “He Was Really Sayin’ Somethin’”, with Whitfield again producing, and spent time on various Motown-sponsored tours as a support act. In September 1964, after recording “Dancing In The Street” earlier in June, Betty Kelly officially left the group to join Martha and the Vandellas, and the quintet became a quartet.
[edit] Later years and dissolution
The Velvelettes continued performing, with various members leaving and rejoining, as family matters dictated. By 1967, Millie, Norma and Bertha had decided to devote all of their time to raising their families. Cal recruited two new members for concert performances: former Vandella Sandra Tilley (who was introduced by her friend Abdul Fakir of The Four Tops), and Annette Rogers-McMillan.
With a song on the charts and a place on several concert tours, an album project was started using songs already recorded. However, with the growing success of another Motown group, The Supremes, Motown’s attention was diverted and the project was left unfinished.
Motown released two additional singles, “Lonely Lonely Girl Am I” and “A Bird In The Hand” on their VIP imprint. Both singles did not reach the same chart levels as their predecessors. The Velvelettes continued to record new material until September 1967, with the Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson song “Bring Back The Sunshine”, which was retitled “Dark Side Of The World” when Diana Ross later released a version of the song. The final Velvelettes single release was “These Things Will Keep Me Loving You”, which dented the 1966 R&B charts.
Cal began dating lead singer of The Monitors, Richard Street. He disuaded her from continuing with the Velvelettes preferring that his wife care for the home. She eventually decided to break up the group. Sandra Tilley joined Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, replacing Rosalind Ashford. Gill then married the future Temptation Richard Street in November 1969, and the Velvelettes disbanded.
In 1971, “These Things Will Keep Me Loving You” became a hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite the new success, the group did not reunite until 1984, following a rare concert appearance by the cousins and the sisters at the request of Bertha. Together the Gill sisters and Barbee cousins then went on to re-record their original hits and some new songs for the album One Door Closes for Motorcity Records. The group continues to tour today.
Three decades after the group left Motown, Motown Records released a CD version of a Velvelettes ‘album’. The Very Best of the Velvelettes featured 15 tracks, including four previously-unreleased selections. A 19 track CD The Velvelettes: The Best Of was released in the UK in 2001. The 2005 The Velvelettes: The Motown Anthology is a double album with 48 tracks.
In 2006, The Velvelettes contributed to the double CD Masters of Funk, Soul and Blues Present a Soulful Tale of Two Cities. Lamont Dozier, Freda Payne, George Clinton and Bobby Taylor recorded remakes of songs from Philadelphia International Records. The Velvelettes sang “One Of a Kind Love Affair”, originally recorded by The Spinners. The other CD featured Jean Carne, Bunny Sigler and Jimmy Ellis.
