Cannon G11

This camera is everything you want... because it takes amazing pictures. Its so good that it'll make you feel like a real photographer. The G11 is not quite a professional's camera of choice, but it is as close as the average person can get. It is either a sick street camerca, but not for you everyday teenage girl.

The Rock and Roll Hal of Fame and Museum

Located on the shore of Lake Eerie in Cleveland, Ohio, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is known as the rock capital of the world. Some of the world's most influential artists have recorded their work there. Other people who have majorly influenced the music industry have played here as well, but this beautiful museum is moslty dedictaed to Rock and Roll

The Apple Magic Mouse

The brand new mouse by apple seems out of this world. This delicate, yet sturdy mouse is by far the best mouse made by apple ever. This isn't just a pretty mouse for your viewing pleasure (although it is pretty) but its what it lets you do that counts. Do you remember that little wheel your using on your mouse right now that scrolls? Imagine a touch sensitive mouse for that, no wheel! This mouse has it! A must know, this mouse looks nice, but it isn't quite as comfortable due to the low profile. It won't fit in your hand quite like my logitech mouse here. The scrolling is also a bit quirky, but its something that you will need to get used to. I recommend it to the all. Just because your a PC fanboy doesn't mean you should switch over. I'm sure it won't kill you to have ONE thing made by Apple in your house. This mouse works for both Mac and PC, so have fun using this baby when your working in applications like Digital Preformer or Grage Band.

Who? Gun N' Roses

The band of the week is Gun N' Roses! Known for songs like Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and November Rain. Guns N' Roses has been around since 1985. Formed in L.A. California by Axl Rose, this band is one of the most famous American Rock bands. Members of this band have come and gone, and there has been many controversies, but they still play. They have been known for their "relliousness" and for reviving the punk attitude-driven hard rock scene. Their albums Use Your illusion and Use Your Illusion II debuted at the same time and took #1 and #2 on the Bilboard 200. This made them the only band to have ever acheived such a feat. I guarantee you won't regret listening to them.

Where? Madison Square Gardens

Located in New York City, Madison Square Gardens is the largest arena is all of New York.  It is home to the New York Knicks of the NBA and the New York Rangers of the NHL.  It holds the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey  Circus when it comes to New York City and the NBA draft each year.  This year, world-famous heavy metal band Metallica will be preforming there October 30 and November 13-14.  I'm hoping to attend one of these dates myself because it is very rare for Metallica to visit nearby and I hope there are still tickets available.  If your a Metallica fan and live near New York, you better get your soon, before they're all gone.

Zoom Q3 Videco Recorder

This brand new Video recorder by Zoom is truly impressive. Not only does it record your favorite band in video, but this cheap toy comes with two stereo condenser mikes for HD audio. This is by far the best video recorder i have seen. at least on that can easily fit into your pocket. This video recorder can be purchased on amazon.com for only $250. I recommend this if your looking for an inexpensive camcorder that specializes in audio and not video. The 640x480 display is not quite a work of art as the microphones, so this isn't your average youtube camcorder. Get it quick, I expect it'll be gone soon.

Who (Led Zeppelin)

Led Zeppelin is possibly the greatest rock band to walk to Earth. Formed in 1968, the band members included Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. Their sound was unique in that it did not stay in one genre. They included multiple different sounds in their music, including reggae, funk, and blues. They incorporated all these different sounds into their original rock genre, to create a sound unique to the band. Famous songs include "Stairway to Heaven" and "Good Times, Bad Times." "Stairway to Heaven" is known as the greatest rock song of all time and is the most requested song ever on FM radio.

Term Check

1. Dynamic mike detects only sounds from nearby (good for interviews) and a Condenser mike detects all sounds from all over.

2. 1. Studio monitors are the bare sound, they give as close to the actual sound as possible 2. They can throw sound around the room 3. If you can make music sound good on them, you can make it sound good on anything (doesn't add sound)

3. A digital interface takes the data from the cables and converts it into music, then shoots it out to speakers

4. Reverb is when music is played in an area. Reverb is different in smaller areas than larger areas because the sound travels differently

5. Yes, this class ia fun

Band of the Week: Bullet for My Valentine

For our new section Band of the Week, the heavy metal band Bullet for my Valentine is our lucky winner. This recently emerging band is a Welsh metal-core band, playing on stage with bands like Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Iron Maiden. Their previous 2006 album The Poison has sold over 1 million copies, and over 350,000 albums int the U.S. alone, a rare achievement for an emerging band. It has been called "one of the finest debut albums in rock history" among other things. Be on the look out for Bullet for My Valentine, they're gonna be big.

iPod Nano 5G

The new iPod Nano is a major improvement to the last generation and a next step for the Nano. One major improvement includes the addtion of a video camera on the back. This video camera records video in VGA resolution (680x480.) The resolution is perfect for putting videos on Youtube and Facebook, but otherwise, its not the most impressive thing I've seen. There are many other pocket cams that are far better on the market that will run you for the same price. But the iPod is not only a video camera, it also has the new genius to automatically create playlists for you. All in all, I was impressed with the new iPod Nano and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a simple music player.
