IMPRESSED BY 2010?..... 3 'EARLY BIRD' TICKET OPTIONS FOR 2011!

2010-07-02T09:41:00.000-07:00

2011 IOM Bay Festival will have you Spelbound by their ‘Early Birds’!

Following hot on the heels of the success of this year’s Manx Telecom Bay Festival the organisers have announced that they have already finalised the line-up for next year’s ‘X Factor Meets Britain’s Got Talent’. With over 8,000 in attendance this year the organisers have been inundated with requests asking when next years will be on sale as no one wants to miss out.

Jonathan Irving co-event promoter with his son Jamie said: “The Father’s Day spectacular starring Olly Murs, Diversity, Danyl Johnson, Signature, Stavros Flately etc went down a storm. I was backstage looking out at the audience and the excitement and enthusiasm for the whole event was like nothing I had seen before. So we decided to strike while the iron was still hot and build on the success by releasing next year’s tickets next week, which is again on Father’s Day.”

Jamie Irving said: “we decided to make it even more fun and keep the interest going right through. Therefore based on the fact that no one had heard of Olly Murs or Danyl Johnson at this time last year we have decided that whoever finishes 2nd and 3rd on this year’s X Factor they will be appearing on the Bay Festival stage on 19th June next year. So watch closely! In addition we are excited to say we have booked the winners of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent, Spelbound plus runners up Twist and Pulse and to compere and perform his own inimitable act will be impersonator and comedian and BGT finalist Paul Burling.

Jamie concluded by saying that: “the one and only Stacey Solomon will also be performing and to make it even more exciting we are asking people to vote for their most popular artist from this year’s XF/BGT. Whoever wins the popular vote will be invited back as part of the line-up for the Father’s Day extravaganza. People will be able to vote next week through our website: www.bayfestival.im “

Tickets for the X Factor/BGT will go on sale next Thursday 8th July from 8am to those who have purchased any tickets for this year’s Manx Telecom Bay Festival. Those lucky people will receive an access code on Wednesday allowing them to purchase on Thursday with general sale opening up at 8am on Friday 9th.

At the same time those who wish to make ‘Early Bird’ deposits for other performances during the festival or purchase all weekend festival passes all with extra benefits and discounts until 31st July can do so through the website as from next week. To accommodate parties or people who prefer to pay by cheque the organisers will be able to accept this form of payment as long as the booking is made and the cheque received within 5 days. For further details please visit www.bayfestival.im

Jonathan said: “we decided to simplify things next time and just have 3 different ticket types: VIP, seat and stand. Also we have taken 10 rows of seats off at the back of the blocks which means standing is much closer to the stage and all the seating area will be fully controlled by mojo barriers.”

Further news and updates will be available from www.bayfestival.im

The history of posters, buy Michael Jackson posters

2009-07-26T23:30:00.001-07:00

Introduction
According to French historian Max Gallo, "for over two hundred years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world. Visually striking, they have been designed to attract the attention of passers-by, making us aware of a political viewpoint, enticing us to attend specific events, or encouraging us to purchase a particular product or service."The modern poster, as we know it, however, dates back to 1870 when the printing industry perfected color lithography and made mass production possible.
"In little more than a hundred years," writes poster expert John Barnicoat, "it has come to be recognized as a vital art form, attracting artists at every level, from painters like Toulouse-Lautrec and Mucha to theatrical and commercial designers." They have ranged in styles from Art Nouveau, Symbolism, Cubism, and Art Deco to the more formal Bauhaus and the often incoherent hippie posters of the 1960s.
Mass production
Posters, in the form of placards and posted bills, have been used since earliest times, primarily for advertising and announcements. Purely textual posters have a long history: they advertised the plays of Shakespeare and made citizens aware of government proclamations for centuries. However, the great revolution in posters was the development of printing techniques that allowed for cheap mass production and printing, including notably the technique lithography which was invented in 1796 by the German Alois Senefelder. The invention of lithography was soon followed by chromolithography, which allowed for mass editions of posters illustrated in vibrant colors to be printed.
Developing art form
By the 1890s, the technique had spread throughout Europe. A number of noted artists created poster art in this period, foremost amongst them Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret. Chéret is considered to be the "father" of advertisement placards. He was a pencil artist and a scene decorator, who founded a small lithography office in Paris in 1866. He used striking characters, contrast and bright colors, and created over 1000 advertisements, primarily for exhibitions, theatres, and products. The industry soon attracted the service of many aspiring painters who needed a source of revenue to support themselves.
Chéret developed a new lithographic technique that suited better the needs of advertisers: he added a lot more colour which, in conjunction with innovative typography, rendered the poster much more expressive. Not surprisingly, Chéret is said to have introduced sex in advertising or, at least, to have exploited the feminine image as an advertising ploy. In contrast with those previously painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, Chéret’s laughing and provocative feminine figures meant a new conception of art as being of service to advertising.
Posters soon transformed the thoroughfares of Paris into the "art galleries of the street." Their commercial success was such that some of the artists were in great demand and theatre stars personally selected their own favorite artist to do the poster for an upcoming performance. The popularity of poster art was such that in 1884 a major exhibition was held in Paris.
Commercial uses
By the 1890s, poster art had widespread usage in other parts of Europe, advertising everything from bicycles to bullfights. By the end of the 19th century, during an era known as the Belle Époque, the standing of the poster as a serious artform was raised even further. Between 1895 and 1900, Jules Chéret created the Maîtres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster) series that became not only a commercial success, but is now seen as an important historical publication. Alphonse Mucha and Eugène Grasset were also influential poster designers of this generation, known for their Art Nouveau style and stylized figures, particularly of women. Advertisement posters became a special type of graphic art in the modern age. Poster artists such as Théophile Steinlen, Albert Guillaume, Leonetto Cappiel and others became important figures of their day, their art form transferred to magazines for advertising as well as for social and political commentary.
In the United States, posters did not evolve to the same artistic level. American posters were primarily directed towards basic commercial needs to deliver a written message. However, the advent of the travelling circus brought colorful posters to tell citizens that a carnival was coming to town. But these too were very commercially utilitarian, of average quality, and few saw any real artistic creativity.
Many posters have had great artistic merit and have become extremely collectible. These include the posters advertising World's Fairs and Colonial Exhibitions.
Political uses
Other times of great turmoil also produced great posters. The 1960s saw the rise of pop art and protest movements throughout the West; both made great use of posters. Perhaps the most acclaimed posters were those produced by French students during the so-called "événements" of May 1968.

Poster printing
Many printing techniques are used to produce posters. While most posters are mass-produced, posters may also be printed by hand or in limited editions. Most posters are printed on one side and left blank on the back, the better for affixing to a wall or other surface. Pin-up sized posters are usually printed on A3 Standard Silk paper in full colour. It is possible to use poster creation software to print large posters on standard home or office printers.
Types of posters
Propaganda and political posters
During the First and Second World Wars, recruiting posters became extremely common, and many of them have persisted in the national consciousness, such as the "Lord Kitchener Wants You" posters from the United Kingdom, the "Uncle Sam wants you" posters from the United States, or the "Loose Lips Sink Ships" posters that warned of foreign spies. Posters during wartime were also used for propaganda purposes, persuasion, and motivation, such as the famous Rosie the Riveter posters which exhorted women workers during World War II that "We can do it!". The Soviet Union also produced a plethora of propaganda posters, some of which became iconic representations of the Great Patriotic War. During the democratic revolutions of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe the poster was very important weapon in the hand of the opposition. Brave printed and hand-made political posters appeared on the Berlin Wall, on the statue of St. Wenseslas in Prague and around the unmarked grave of Imre Nagy in Budapest and the role of them was indispensable for the democratic change. A recent example of an influential political poster is Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama "HOPE" poster.
Advertising posters
Many posters, particularly early posters, were used for advertising products. Posters continue to be used for this purpose, with posters advertising films, music (both concerts and recorded albums), comic books, and travel destinations being particularly notable examples.

Film posters
The film industry quickly discovered that vibrantly coloured posters were an easy way to sell their pictures. Today, posters are produced for most major films, and the collecting of movie posters has become a major hobby. The most valuable poster in the world, of which there is only 1 known copy, is the 1931 stone litho Frankenstein 6-sheet.

Comic book posters
The resurgence of comic book popularity in the 1960s led to the mass production of comic book posters in the 1970s and onward. These posters typically feature popular characters in a variety of action poses. The fact that comic books are a niche market means that a given poster usually has a smaller printing run than other genres of poster. Therefore, older posters may be quite sought after by collectors. Promotional posters are usually distributed folded, whereas retail posters intended for home decoration are rolled.
Event posters
Posters advertising events have become common. Any sort of public event, from a rally to a play, may be advertised with posters; a few types of events have become notable for their poster advertisements.Posters are common because this can be hung around places where people go.

Boxing posters
Boxing Posters were used in and around the actual venue to advertise the forthcoming fight, date, ticket prices, and usually consisted of pictures of each boxer. Boxing Posters vary in size and vibrancy, but are not usually smaller than 18x22 inches. In the early days few boxing posters survived the actual event and thus they are indeed very collectible and scarce.

Concert posters
Many concerts, particularly rock concerts, have custom-designed posters that are used for advertisement of the event. These often become collectors items as well.

Educational posters
Research posters and "poster sessions"
Posters are used in academia to promote and explain research work. They are typically shown during conferences, either as a complement to a talk or scientific paper, or as a publication. They are of lesser importance than actual articles, but they can be a good introduction to a new piece of research before the paper is published. Poster presentations are often not peer-reviewed, but can instead be submitted, meaning that as many as can fit will be accepted.

Classroom posters
Most classrooms in North American schools have posters on the walls. There are several types of these posters:
Advertising posters for products used or discussed in the class (e.g. movie posters in a film class).
Books on poster, in which entire works of literature are legibly printed onto single posters.
Motivational posters, similar to those found in offices or specific to the class subject matter.
Quick reference posters: In elementary schools, these usually include first-language vocabulary charts (numbers, colours, weather, etc.) and multiplication tables. In secondary and post-secondary schools, they are more likely to include second-language vocabulary charts, the standard periodic table and related graphs, and laboratory safety protocols. A world map and one or more regional maps are common at all levels.
Posters giving more detailed information on a subject, usually containing paragraph-form text, in relatively small print.
Pseudo-advertising posters for sports, works of classic literature, etc.
The latter two types are sometimes prepared by students as part of an assignment, but most posters are usually store-bought.

Vintage Poster Restoration/Conservation
Poster restoration and conservation. The backing of posters with fabric dates back to 19th century France, where posters were occasionally glued to linen for reinforcement. This provided some protection, but with the passage of time the paper continued to become brittle and was frequently torn by stress. Modern backing techniques have eliminated this problem by using an acid free paper between the poster and the fabric. The adhesive used is wheat paste treated to inhibit mold growth.
Why fabric-back a poster? The principal reason is to provide support for the paper. It also enables the conservator to flatten the folds and to more easily make repairs. Fabric backing also eliminates the waviness that can occur when the poster is framed.
Reversibility is a concept that is important in all conservation work, because today's curators and collectors are only temporary custodians of a cultural object (the poster) that will have continuing and timeless interest for future collectors. We strive to make certain that materials and techniques that are applied to the poster are not harmful over time and are reversible to bring it back to the state in which we found it.
Restoration can dramatically improve the appearance of a poster. Damage caused by clear adhesive tape, residual stains, water marks and dirt can be easily repaired; combining this with the replacement of lost paper can bring the poster back to virtually its original state.

Cheesecake posters
Cheesecake posters, or "pinups," are pictures of attractive women designed to be displayed, first coming to popularity in the 1920s. The popularity of sexy Pin-up girl posters has been erratic in recent decades. Pin-ups such as Betty Grable and Jane Russell were highly popular with soldiers during World War II but much less so during the Vietnam War. The late 1970s and into the beginning of the 1980s were boom years for large posters of television actresses, especially Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs.

Fanposter
The goal of creating a Fanposter is to show all or a large portion of devoted fans on one poster which will be presented and can be seen in a place where many other fans or members have access (hallway of a club house, fanzine, fan webpage, public place).
Affirmation posters
This refers to decorative posters that are meant to be motivational and inspirational. One popular series has a black background, a scene from nature, and a word such as "Leadership" or "Opportunity." Another version (usually framed and matted) uses a two-image hologram which changes as the viewer walks past.

Band/Music posters
Posters that showcase a person's favorite artist or music group are popular in teenager's bedrooms, as well as in college dorm rooms and apartments. Many posters have pictures of popular rock bands and artists.
The internet market is full of bootlegs from his albums, posters, merchandise, products where are not paid taxes and copyright royalties and which are not of the first class quality. Our site offers you the opportunity to have in your collection genuine MJ posters at great price and fast shipment. Check out this link: http://all-posters.webs.com/michaeljacksonspecial.htm

Romantic, talentat, zapacit, vesel si degajat. Fiind o persoana extrem de sincera, spontana si ambitioasa, Nelu si-a cucerit publicul intr-un timp record. Povestea sa este simpla, putand fi rezumata in cateva cuvinte: a dorit, a incercat si, cel mai important, a reusit!Cea mai recenta realizare semnata Nelu se numeste "Zai, zai". O perioada, Nelu a dus tratative cu diferite case de discuri din Romania. Cat Music a fost insa si alegerea sa. "Zai, zai" – o alta voce, dar din aceeasi familie - marca Stratan. Piesa este noua, haioasa, cu versuri inspirate din viata, cu jocuri de cuvinte. Cu toate ca aceasta noua abordare tinde mai mult spre o directie comerciala, Nelu marturiseste ca pentru el asta nu conteaza, interpretul muncind destul de mult si cautand de fiecare data noi si noi cai spre un produs finit bine gandit si frumos prezentat iubitorilor de muzica buna, atat din Moldova, cat si din Romania. Are deja gata opt piese si spera ca in curand sa poata prezenta publicului care i-a primit atat de calduros pe Pavel si Cleopatra un album intreg, in totalitate diferit de cel existent pe piata muzicala din Republica Moldova! Pentru ca aici publicul asteapta altceva de la artist.Dupa primul sau videoclip, filmat pentru promovarea superhitului "Ultima noapte", in regia lui Igor Cobaleanschi, Nelu a filmat de curand videoclipul cu care s-a lansat pe piata muzicala din Romania. Piesa se intituleaza "Zai-Zai", iar regizorul videoclipului este Dragos Buliga, cel ce a fost insarcinat si cu realizarea clipurilor lui Pavel si ale Cleopatrei. Este un videoclip de imagine, cu multe fete frumoase, exact ce ii trebuie pentru a se lansa vara. "Piesa este simpla, vesela, ironica, reprezentativa pentru majoritatea barbatilor, daca e sa nu luam toate acestea intr-un mod prea serios", zice Nelu.

Albumul poate fi comandat online aici.

2008-03-28T16:01:00.000-07:00

Pe numele sau adevarat, Matthieu Tota, M. Pokora s-a nascut pe 26 septembrie 1985 la Strasbourg. Cantaret si compozitor francez de origine poloneza, in plina afirmare, el a reusit sa atraga atentia unuia dintre cei mai in voga producatori, Timbaland.

reality show francez Popstars, in toamna anului 2003. El si-a lansat primul sau album solo, sub numele de scena Matt Pokora, la numai cateva luni dupa ce trupa s-a desfiintat si a lansat rapid cateva megahit-uri Elle Me Contrôle (She Controls Me), Showbiz (The Battle) sau
Pas Sans Toi (Not Without You), abordand cu succes un gen muzical foarte popular printre adolescenti: hip-hop cu influente R&B.
M. Pokora (sau, mai simplu, Pokora) lanseaza acum cel de-al treilea album solo, la care a lucrat in Statele Unite ale Americii cu binecunoscutul producator Timbaland.Prima mostra este “Dangerous”, un featuring cu insusi Timbaland. Fiind de asemenea si primul extras pe single de pe albumul “MP3”, specialistii spun ca va fi cu siguranta unul dintre megahiturile acestei veri. “MP3” este cel de-al treilea album de studio al artistului si contine 14 piese originale, in limba engleza si franceza.
Pokora a castigat cateva premii importante, printre care: 2006
NRJ Music Awards - Cel Mai Bun Videoclip al Anului: Elle Me Contrôle , 2006
NRJ Music Awards - Cantecul Francofon al Anului: Elle Me Contrôle , 2007 NRJ Music Awards - Cel Mai Bun Artist Francofon al Anului,

Moby - noul album "Last Night"

2008-03-28T15:52:00.001-07:00

Moby lanseaza cel de-al saselea album de studio, “Last Night”, la Mute Records. Cele 15 piese de pe album au fost inregistrate in studioul sau personal din Manhattan New York si mixate de Dan Grech – Maguerat care a lucrat de asemenea cu Radiohead si cu Scissor Sisters.

Noul album contine colaborari inedite cu artisti ca Sylvia de la Kudu, MC Aynzli si MC Smokey si S.O. Simple din trupa nigeriana de hip-hop 419 Squad.

Moby despre noul sau album, “Last Night”:

“Este mult mai orientat spre stilul dance si suna mai electro decat ultimele mele albume, probabil ca rezultat al experientei recent acumulate ca DJ. Si am cativa artisti interesanti invitati pe album. Dintre acestia, preferatul meu este rapper-ul din piesa “I Love To Move In here”. Numele sau e Grandmaster Caz, si este unul dintre compozitorii de la “Rappers Delight”. Canta rap din 1975, si sunt foarte fericit ca am reusit sa am un featuring cu el pe acest album.”

Daft Punk - Alive 2007

2008-03-28T15:42:00.000-07:00

Un show live nemaipomenit marca “Daft Punk”, acum pe CD, disponibil si in Romania!

Albumul “ALIVE 2007” este versiunea live a materialului “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, piese interpretate in turneul de promovare a albumului. Dupa fenomenala reactie la show-urile pe care le-a sustinut trupa Daft Punk in Statele Unite ale Americii, Japonia si Australia anul trecut, au transpus momentele speciale experimentate in aceste concerte pe CD. “Alive 2007”este acum si la dispozitia fanilor din Romania.

"Am experimentat sentimente deosebit de puternice oriunde am concertat, ceea ce ni s-a parut fascinant," zice Thomas Bangalter. "De fiecare data cand cantam live, realizam acelasi lucru: reactia nemaipomenita a fanilor nostril din intreaga lume este motorul care ne impinge sa continuam. Prin intermediul lor, muzica noastra ramane mereu tanara, mereu ”fresh”!"

Cel mai greu, cel mai bun, cel mai rapid, cel mai puternic album Daft Punk dintotdeauna (sau cel putin de la “Alive 1997” incoace).

Ce s-a intamplat cu hip-hop-ul din Romania?

2008-02-10T12:53:00.000-08:00

Ce s-a intamplat cu hip hop-ul din Romania? Saptamana viitoare am de gand sa postez mai multe lucruri inedite legate de primii ani de hip-hop din Romania.

Pana atunci, doresc sa va ofer un videoclip al MC-ului meu preferat, probabil cel mai bun din toate timpurile - Rakim aici alaturi de Nas ...

... si sa impartasesc cu voi bucuria de a revedea pe rafturile magazinului de muzica Metropolis din Atena, in urma cu o saptamana albumul care mi-a deschis apetitul pentru muzica hip-hop - Follow The Leader by Eric B. & Rakim - 1988. Peace!
