Musical Mania!!
Hey everyone!! Hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend so far!! I just took my English final this past Monday...and am excited to say that I almost made a perfect score on the final!! :) Glad that it is over, even though midterms will be coming up in early January.
So my friend and I were talking about movies and the subject of musicals came up...and yes, I decided to talk to you guys about musicals today!!
Musicals are yet another great way to explore music...and you never know what you might end up liking. I, personally, haven't seen any musicals, but I have a lot of friends who have seen Broadway shows and musicals. They didn't think they would become fans, but guess what? They did. :)
And of course, there have been a lot of musicals, but some of the well-known ones include:
-Mary Poppins
-High School Musical
-High School Musical 2
-High School Musical 3
-Chicago
-Les Miserables
-Jersey Boys
-Dream Girls
-Hairspray
AND much, much more!! Sometimes, you can probably find that a lot of movies have been turned into musicals. For example, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. I have only seen snippets of those two, but they look amazing! Personally, I love the singing and dancing that gets involved and there is so much energy that comes off of the performers!! The music is great and lively, and definitely addicting.
Also, a lot of the movies my parents watch--Hindi and Bengali--tend to be similar to musicals because they are filled with songs--and of course, the singing and dancing. If you watch a Hindi movie, you will probably find that there is at least one song every 30 minutes and the movies tend to be about 3-4 hrs on average. The songs are long too and they resemble musicals. They're great! If you ever get a chance, be sure to check them out!
Alrighty guys, that's it for tonight; have a safe and enjoyable week!

Have you checked out the "Now" cd's?
Hey everyone! Hope all of you are having a fabulous weekend so far!! Did you all have a great Halloween? Can't believe it's November already...before we know it, the new year will be here (and I will be graduating :D)!!!
I was looking through my collection of cd's and decided to dedicate this post to a very special collection and tell you a little story. :)
I was walking through my local Target store a couple years back, music section of course :P, when I noticed a specific stack of cd's in one of the racks. The cover immediately caught my attention, not because it was bright and colorful, but because there was no particular artist's picture...or any pictures actually. All there was on the cover was a mixture of colors, along with the words "Now 26." So I bought the cd, after checking the back to see the songs and what kind of music it had, and needless to say, I fell in love with it.
If you guys haven't checked out the "Now" cd's yet, you definitely should. The "Now" cds normally contain top radio singles from different genres...all in one cd. For example, the Now 26 one had songs from Soulja Boy-Crank Dat to Daughtry-Over You. It's a great buy, especially if you like listening to the songs that are played on the radio, but don't necessarily want to buy an artist's entire cd just for one song or if you don't have iTunes or another music downloading site. Also, if you like listening to different genres, like me, it's all compiled on one cd, so it is really convenient. You may even discover that you like a certain artist. :)
I've only bought Now 26-29 so far, but I hope to buy the rest. For me, it's super convenient to get great songs all on one cd from 2-3 different genres!! And also, the songs that make it on there are great, catchy, popular tunes. You can check out their website, http://www.nowmusic.com/. They already have the next couple of cd's song listings up on there, as well as cd release dates!! The site also has a whole buncha other cool stuff; an app for your phone, videos, downloads, and more!! Check it out and let me know what you think!!
Alrighty guys, that's it for now, my apologies, but I'm gonna have to cut this blog a little short. Hope all of you have a wonderful week!!

HALLOWEEN!!!
Hey everyone!! Hope all of you had a fantastic Halloween!!! In honor of Halloween, I decided to dedicate this blog to Halloween...and of course, the music played during the occasion :)
Well, we all know that spooky music is definitely played on Halloween...but there are a lot of songs that aren't necessarily considered "spooky" that are sometimes played on Halloween, or in honor of Halloween. One song (which I had almost forgotten :P) that our band performed was from Ghostbusters. An amazing song, and an amazing performance. My personal favorite, however? Thriller by Michael Jackson (<3). We had our senior pep rally this past Friday and all of the senior football players' moms performed to it and then later on that evening, the cheerleaders performed to it, while our band played it. It was definitely amazing to watch such a large group perform the routine. I remembering learning the dance freshman year in my Dance 1 class. I loved it then and I will probably love it forever <3
Of course everyone has their own opinion as to what songs are the best and which may not necessarily fall under the "best" category. But according to about.com, the top 10 Halloween pop songs are as follows:
10. White Zombie-"I'm Your Boogieman"
9. The Who-"Boris the Spider"
8. Talking Heads-"Psycho Killer"
7. Squirrel Nut Zippers-"He**"
6. Specials-"Ghost Town"
5. From the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' soundtrack-"Time Warp"
4. Mike Oldfield-"Tubular Bells Pt. 1 (theme from 'The Exorcist')
3. Michael Jackson-"Thriller"
2. Bobby Pickett-"The Monster Mash"
1. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince-"Nightmare on my street"
What about you guys? Do you agree with about.com's top 10 Halloween songs? Which ones are your favorites?
Thanks for reading guys!!
Until next time,
Labanya

Music World--Hindi/Bengali/Spanish
"Music is the universal language of mankind." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Outre-Mer
Hey everyone! I apologize for not blogging at all the past two weeks....senior year has started a lot tougher than I thought but thankfully, I am slowly adjusting, adapting, and overcoming!! :) How's school going for all of you? Hopefully, you guys are all doing great!!
Anyway, for today's topic, I thought I would talk a little about music in different cultures!!
As I'm sure I've mentioned a million times before, music is something very close to my heart. It is my way of expressing myself--sometimes thru lyrics and other times, thru melody. English music isn't all I listen to though. My parents are both originally from Bangladesh (and my maternal grandmother grew up in India for some time) so I got a taste of Bengali and Hindi music as well. Some countries, like India for example, have started to incorporate English into their lyrics and I've found a lot of songs in Hindi movies especially that have "westernized" their music.
Bengali music, in my opinion, has very soft melodies. From what I have heard from my parents' cds and tapes, most of the music is love--relationships, family, etc. A lot of it also seems a bit on the mellow side. You will probably not find anything near rock or metal in bengali music. All of the singers tend to have softer voices and the melodies are often soothing...almost like lullabies. I have found a couple of tunes that are extremely catchy and easy to just get up and dance to. Unfortunately, I can't remember some of the names of the songs I really like, but you can definitely find a lot of the songs on YouTube (www.youtube.com) or by googling "bengali songs."
Hindi music, on the other hand, I find to be extremely lively and catchy...and of course, very easy to dance to. While surfing YouTube one day, I saw that a lot of users used Hindi songs to make videos about American celebrities (and the video turned out great too!!). It was really cool to not only watch the video, but it was awesome to see both of my cultures meshed into one video. Hindi music is probably one of my favorites. Even though most songs last about 5-6 minutes, the tunes and melodies are super catchy and it's really easy to get a piece of a song stuck in your head. My sister and I have performed to a lot of the songs too...and it isn't that hard to choreograph too either.
Some of my favorites:
-Lakdi Ki Kathi from a movie called Masoom (One of my all-time favorites....it's been a favorite since I was 4-5 yrs old) Watching this video brought back so many memories of listening to it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uafP78m_v9U
-Ghanan Ghanan (I love this song!! And I know this is a bit off topic, but I strongly suggest you watch the movie--Lagaan. A lot of my non-Indian friends have watched it, with subtitles, and loved it) Here's the actual clip of the song from the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpTCnl36gZI
-Deewana Hai Dekho (Also a great song from a great movie! It's from Kabhi Khushie Kabhi Gham...really sad movie, but great songs and plotline :) This song actually has some English parts in it...and it was really interesting to hear it in there) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4RqHGxcpkM
Those three are just a couple of examples (I could go on and on :P) but if you are interested, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW!!! I would love to give you music or even movie suggestions if you're interested...so don't be shy. Hit me up on twitter (@Lalalabanya) or if you would like my e-mail, please leave me a comment down below.
Spanish music is also something I've listened to...well, not too much in depth, but I've heard a couple of songs on the radio here and there and last year in my AP Spanish 4 class. And although I can't really understand what they're saying, the songs are actually great!! :P I love listening to singers like Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, David Archuleta, etc, add in Spanish into their music. It's great to hear both languages in one song!!
Whoops, this blog is getting longer than I thought it would be...sorry about the length!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and this upcoming week!!
Until next time,
Labanya

Wanna help promote an artist/band?
Hey hey hey!! Hope all of you are having a fabulous weekend so far!! Can't believe October is already here!!
So I enjoyed talking to you guys about the different genres of music the past couple of weeks and this week, I have decided to talk to you about....*drum roll please* STREET TEAMS!! A street team is a team designed to help promote a band, artist, and sometimes even an event!! And guess what? You can help promote your favorite artist or band!!
You can either a.) join a street team and become a member or b.) create your own street team (some info on how to do so is here http://www.ehow.com/video_2378534_manage-music-street-team.html)
I hadn't thought about joining one until one of the fellow Push Play fans asked me if I would be interested in doing so. Street teams are not only a great way to help out an artist, event, and/or band, they are great in providing practice if you would like to eventually have a career in the music industry...especially in business and promotion. By the way, if you would like to join the official Push Play street team, go to www.fancorps.com to sign up, but please only do so if you are sure you will be able to help. There are great rewards for doing so. If you earn enough "store credit" points, you can "buy" meet and greet passes, backstage passes, t-shirts, and more with just you store credit points (no actual purchase necessary)!! Also, if you are interested in joining the PP Street Team, let me know (@Lalalabanya or just leave a comment on here) and I'll send you their manager's e-mail so you can contact her...she'll send you great promotional stuff that you can use to help spread the word!!
Other street teams you may be interested in joining:
http://www.jbstreetteam.com (Jonas Brothers)
http://www.myspace.com/honorsocietyst (Honor Society...for this one, you do have to create or currently have a myspace to join. There is also one for each state and there are some for other countries)
www.myspace.com/demilofficalstreetteam (Same as Honor Society's...you must have a myspace to join)
www.myspace.com/tsstusa (This is the USA Taylor Swift one)
http://beyonce.fancorps.com/signup/ (Beyonce)
Again, those are just a couple. Most artists and bands have one so you will probably be able to find the street teams just by googling them....if you need help finding a certain artist or band's street team, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to try and help you!!
Alright, that's all for today, I'll catch you guys next week....enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week!!

Genres of Music-Pop
Hey hey hey!! Hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend so far!! I'm glad the weekend finally came...this past week was incredibly hectic for me...who knew senior year would be so packed and crammed?
Anyway, I thought I'd continue talking to you guys about different genres of music. Today, I want to cover pop music, which also happens to be one of my favorites!! When I first started purchasing cd's, which was about the 4-5th grade (my first actual cd was Britney Spears, before then I had bought a cd that had several pop songs on it) and I've been addicted to pop music ever since!! To me, pop music is extremely catchy, and again, because I'm a dancer, it's also convenient to choreograph to it!
Pop music seems to be an incredibly popular genre these days...and there's many artists whose music falls into that category.
-Coldplay
-McFly
-Spice Girls
-Natasha Bedingfield
-Girls Aloud
-Sara Bareilles
-John Mayer
-Honor Society
-Jonas Brothers (you knew it was coming :P)
-Demi Lovato
-Miley Cyrus
-Vanessa Hudgens
Most Disney channel and Nickelodeon stars who also sing are considered to be included in the pop music genre. Also, some artists' music can be classified as more than one genre. For example, Jordin Sparks' music would probably be considered Pop and R&B, while some bands may be considered as both Pop & Rock.
And while speaking about pop music, of course, I can't forget artists like Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, N'sync, and Westlife. Let's also not forget the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson (RIP<3) I realize this blog is getting quite lengthy, but I'd like to quickly point out a couple of songs that I think you all should go check out at www.youtube.com or at iTunes. :)
-Over You by Honor Society
-Falling Down by Selena Gomez & the Scene (Don't forget, Selena and the Scene's album Kiss and Tell is dropping September 29th...be sure to check it out!!
-Gift of a Friend by Demi Lovato
-Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus
-One Time by Justin Bieber
-She Wolf by Shakira
-Obsessed by Mariah Carey
That's just a handful!! If you would like new song/artist suggestions in any music genre, please feel free to send me a Twitter DM or an @reply to @Lalalabanya.
That's all for today!! Talk to you all next week! :)

Genres of Music-Rock
Hey everyone! Hope all of you are enjoying your Labor day weekend so far! :)
As promised, I'll continue with the different genres of music, and let you know my favorite songs, artists, bands, etc in each genre!!
Last week I covered R&B. This week's genre: ROCK.
Personally, rock music is a great way to boost my energy level. There's something about the tune or music itself that makes me want to get up and dance. Like R&B, there are several radio stations that are dedicated to playing just rock music (and of course, there are others that play almost any genre, or whatever is popular at the time). I think I have mentioned this before, but listening to your local radio is a great way to expand your music taste. Besides, you never know what genre of music you may end up liking next ;)
Some of the popular artists include:
Fall Out Boy (also known as FOB)
Nickelback
Metallica
Slipknot
Guns 'N Roses
Marilyn Manson
Aerosmith
AC/DC
Kings of Leon
**Just a side note: Rock can also be categorized into smaller genres of rock: classic, pop, folk, hard, and soft.
I will admit though, I never thought I'd be a fan of rock music. Actually, I was almost forced into listening to it because one of my friends was an avid rock music listener back when we were in middle school. She's the one got me started and now I'm nearly addicted. A lot of the songs are great and again, it's the tunes that get me addicted everytime. Some of my favorites at the moment:
Use Somebody-Kings of Leon <---Great song!! Check it out if you haven't already. I personally find it somewhat soothing.
Rockstar-Nickelback <---Again, another great song. I must warn you though, the lyrics are a bit on the adult side.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams & Wake me up when September ends-Green Day <---That same friend who I mentioned above is the one who showed me these 2 songs about 4-5 yrs ago. I am still in love with them to this day. Not only is this song a great pick, their album American Idiot, is amazing as well. Again, beware of the language used in some of the songs.
That's what you get, Decode, and Crushcrushcrush-Paramore <---Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe "Decode" is included in the Twilight soundtrack. Anyway, all great songs, all performed by a great band.
And to finish off this blog, have you checked out Selena Gomez & The Scene's single "Falling Down?" Super catchy song, check it out if you haven't yet! Also, I have not yet heard the songs off of Miley Cyrus' newest album, The Time of Our Lives, but everyone tells me it's great! Let me know if you've purchased it already!
Talk to you all next week!! Have a fabulous Labor day weekend! :)

As promised, I'll continue with the different genres of music, and let you know my favorite songs, artists, bands, etc in each genre!!

Genres of Music-R&B
Hey everyone! Hope all of you are having a fab Saturday and weekend!! And to those of you who have already begun school, I hope you had a great start to the school year. To those of you who have yet to start, make it a great start!! :)
I apologize, but I'm gonna have to keep this week's entry a little on the shorter side due to the amount of schoolwork I have to complete. I will try my best to make up for that on next week's entry.
For today's entry, I thought I would start off by talking about some artists/music/songs that I'm really into at the minute. Discovering new artists and keeping an open mind is always a good thing to do because you never know what type of music you may end up liking! Personally, I never dreamed I would be into rock and r&b, because when I was younger, I listened to mainly pop (Britney Spears, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, etc). Now, my taste in music has expanded greatly and you will find that I listen to almost anything. There are several different genres of music...popular ones include:
R&B
Rock
Pop
Country
Rap
Every week, I'll focus on a different genre, just so I don't overwhelm you with too much info.
For this week, let's start with R&B...also known as Rhythm & Blues. I started listening to R&B back when I was in middle school, around 7-8th grade. I'm a dancer, so I like music that I can dance to and I found that R&B was convenient to choreograph or just groove to. Some artists include:
-Chris Brown
-NeYo
-Usher
-Ashanti
-Cherish
-Kelly Rowland
-Beyonce
And more. You will also most likely find a lot of these artists on your local radio stations....R&B music tends to be quite popular, especially in the teen/tween scene.
I've always encountered a lot of good songs in this genre....some of my faves are:
Halo-Beyonce
Forever-Chris Brown
Just Fine-Mary J. Blige
So Sick-NeYo
Miss Independent-NeYo
With You-Chris Brown
SOS-Rihanna
Yeah-Usher
Again, all good dance songs that have really good tunes and a nice beat. There are a lot more R&B songs and I've found that a lot of the older ones, from the '90s for example, are also really good. Check 'em out if you can and let me know what you think!!
That's it for today...again, I apologize for not providing you with a longer entry. I will try my best to make up for that in the future...but until I see you next time, have a great week!!
-Labanya
P.S. Feel free to let me know who your favorite artists/genres/bands/songs are!!

More Music Mania
Hey everyone! Hope all of you are having a good weekend so far! As promised, I will share with you some details from the Jonas Brothers concert that I attended in Houston last night! I know not all of you are JB fans, so I will try my best not to write a novel about it, but I would at least like to share with you the songs they played and their opening acts, Honor Society and the Wonder Girls, played as well (Jordin Sparks wasn't able to perform last night due to sickness :( Get better soon Jordin!!). If you would like to hear all of the details from last night's concert, I will post a link to my personal blog on next week's entry so stay tuned! :)
Okay, before the concert, while we were all sitting in the venue, they played songs to keep us company and although my memory is a bit fogged, I will try my best to list the songs they played pre-concert.
Beat It-Michael Jackson
Single Ladies-Beyonce
Boom boom pow-Black Eyed Peas
My life would suck without you-Kelly Clarkson
La La Land-Demi Lovato
And many more!
Honor Society performed first. The songs they performed included:
Over You
Nobody Has To Know
See You In The Dark
Two Rebels
Full Moon Crazy
And their newest--Sing for you
Also mark your calendars! Honor Society will be releasing their first album Fashionably Late on September 15th. Don't forget to check out your nearest Wal Mart or music store to pick it up! Or...you can pre-order their album here! http://www.honorsocietymerch.com/
The Wonder Girls performed next. Just a little background info...
-They are considered Asia's biggest superstars
-They are a Korean band consisting of 5 teenage girls (Yubin, Sohee, Sun, Mimi, and Yenny)
-They have had 3 number 1 hit songs in Asia within the past 2 years!
-Their first US single is "Nobody" (which I will admit is extremely catchy! You can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA7fdSkp8ds) They performed "Nobody" as well as a song called "Tell Me"
For more info on the Wonder Girls, you can check out www.wondergirlsworld.com
Next up, was *drum roll please* The Jonas Brothers of course! :)
Their entrance song? We will rock you-Queen and Paranoid--the first JB song of the night!
Other songs they performed included:
That’s just the way we roll
Live to party
Much better
Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond cover)
I gotta feeling (Black Eyed Peas cover)
Tonight
Lovebug
A Little Bit Longer/Black Keys
Year 3000
When you look me in the eyes
Fly with me
World War III
Play my music
Gotta find you
Poison Ivy
Turn Right
Hold on
BB good
SOS
Lovebug
And they ended with--Burning up
Overall, the concert was amazing and definitely one of the best nights of my life! I went with my little sister (it was her 1st concert) and we both had a ton of fun! Those Jonas boys definitely know how to put on a good show! :)
Also, speaking of the Jonas Brothers, today is Joe Jonas' 20th birthday, as well as his parents' (Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas) anniversary! Yes, Joe was born on his parents' anniversary....who wouldn't want Joe Jonas as an anniversary gift? ;-) Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Jonas and happy birthday Joe!
Also, this week marked Woodstock's 40th anniversary!
We lost yet another legend...RIP Les Paul :'(
"The rock 'n' roll world sadly lost a major icon this week, when Les Paul--legendary guitarist and inventor of both the solid-body electric guitar and the concept of "multi-tracking" in the recording studio--passed away from pneumonia at age 94. Les's contributions to rock music were immeasurable, and so it was not surprising that guitarists of all genres and generations immediately paid tribute to the man upon hearing this deflating news."
And lastly, Mariah Carey's newest album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, was originally scheduled for to be released August 25, then switched to September 15, and now has been re-scheduled again to September 29th. If it changes again, I'll let you know, but we hope Mariah works everything out soon!
Alright, that's all for today, sorry for the lengthy novel!
I'll catch you guys next week, but until then, have a great week! :)
