Pat Benatar is still rocking the battlefield of music even after all these years, and it is all the more evident that she still holds enormous weight within the music industry, as she was just inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. The event took place last month, and Benatar was included among a list of other musical greats like LL Cool J, Marvin Hamlisch, Blue A-yster Cult, The Ramones and The Tokens. Benatar reportedly said in her acceptance letter that evening that she will “never forget that a small town girl from Lindenhurst LI actually got the chance to live her dreams. Long Island girls ROCK!” Indeed they do, and Pat Benatar is living proof. For more information on Pat Benatar, check out http://www.stubhub.com/pat-benatar-tickets/.

Benatar is often considered one of the leading female rock vocalists of the 1980s, and it is amazing that she still has the gift of singing. She is most recognized for several of her favorite songs that include “Love is a Battlefield” and “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.” Benatar also has several Grammy Awards under her belt and has sold millions of records worldwide. Keep tabs on where Benatar and her husband will be playing so that you can be sure to get a pair of Pat Benatar tickets and enjoy the show.

Benatar was born in Brooklyn, New York, and she initially studied voice and opera in school, following in the footsteps of her mother. It was only later that she really began taking singing seriously, and she started performing at many different clubs and bars throughout New York City. Her first single, “Heartbreaker,” was released in late 1979, and immediately it was a hit, reaching the number 23 mark on the U.S. charts. Following that success, her debut LP, In the Heat of the Night, generated even more attention from both the critics and the fans. In 1981, she was awarded the Grammy for “Best Female Rock Vocal Performance,” and people really started catching on to her wild and crazy tunes that were quickly becoming favorites around the world. Of course this was just start of her well-known career. Benatar went on to record many other successful and well-received albums including Crimes of Passion, Precious Time, Get Nervous and Live From Earth. She’s hardly ever received bad reviews, and she continues to record music even well into the 2000s. Many people today are intent on purchasing plenty of Pat Benatar tickets so that they can see her many shows.

She has been considered the most successful female rock vocalist of all time and has won many awards throughout her lifetime for her amazing music. And of course it’s a sure bet that all of us at one point ended up in a karaoke bar pretending to sing “Love is a Battlefield” in a night that probably ended in embarrassment. She will sing every song and will most likely give it “her best shot.” Gather up your friends and make plans to sing along to some of Benatar’s most popular hits.

Reaching out to the Malaysian youth: Do we just run a competition, make sure it is highly successful and then close shop or continue to stay involved after that to link up with the youths through other mechanisms?

The current mechanism we are thinking of is a music event. Why music?

Simply, music appeals to the youths of today.  But the event is a one-moment-in-time thing. The sharing of values takes months and years. Who does that?

SABM needs all the manpower it can get. To illustrate once again, we need support from all quarters to lend a helping hand.

Everyone has the potential to shape thoughts and change mindsets.

There can be other mechanisms – like being a leader in your own neighborhood, taking up the challenge to network with neighbors and lead them to embrace the SABM vision.

If youth outreach is going to be a long term effort by SABM, then this music contest will not just be a single event to achieve that. There must be year round activities and a working strategy already in place.

A recent survey was recently done in talking to a university student yesterday whose friends included students from other colleges in Subang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. These students were of generally the same   middle-class homes, driving to college or university, having money to spend, having mobile phones, etc. Of course this is just one person being spoken to but some of the things said are quite revealing.

1. Would a music event interest youths? “Perhaps, if famous overseas singers were brought in.”

2. Would youths take part in a competition where they compose their own songs and melodies? “Yes, but how big is the prize? The money must be big.”

3. You’re going to be 21 years old next year. If we organized a workshop during your term holidays this year for you to learn about your rights as a voter, would you attend? “Er.. I think I will attend it after I am 21.”

4. What they do outside of studying? “Surf the net, hang out with one another, talk about studies, the latest news (not usually politics), gadgets, games and movies, listen to music.”

5. Their values? To begin with, words like ‘ethnic’ and ‘ethics’ were not understood. This student’s answer to what his core values were:

a) Core value? Like moral values? “I think it would be er.. I’m not sure also…”

b) Integrity was something new to him. Honesty he understood.

c) So began an informal lesson about the meaning of ‘values’. He suggested that youths be taught this.  Yes, he has heard his friends say if they were stopped by cops for speeding, just pay them off.

6. Hopes and dreams for Malaysia in the next 5 years: “I hope this nation will treat everyone equally, more truth about things happening in Malaysia instead of fairytales being printed out in the newspaper (unlike internet where we can get some true information too.)”

7.  Regarding the role of youths and young adults in nation-building: “They do have a role as they might be the future leaders, but I can see that most of the students now do not really care about the events going on in the nation as compared to the older generation.”

8. If you were a youth leader in the SABM movement, what would you do to involve other youths?  “First, I think I would need some training. I will first talk to them, but not give a talk as it will bore them – maybe a normal casual conversation with friends. Friends who are interested will talk to other friends and it will spread fast, and they will understand better.”

Its just not college kids but the same trend can be found amongst our junior colleagues, where shockingly, one of them read no newspapers, had no clue as to any of the current issues and was just not bothered. Probably, these people liked to hang out at karaoke joints.

There was a personal opinion that the type of youths who were typically apathetic self-centered should not be our immediate priority because they:

1)  had been severely conditioned to care only for themselves.

2)  were not interested in current events outside of their immediate interests.

3)  (like in any other segment of society) would rather not get involved in “big” issues/causes

4)  (like in any other strata of society) formed a large majority

It is going to take a huge effort to even convince them why they should be concerned, much less be involved. To focus on them with the limited resources available to SABM would be like trying to pull an elephant up a tree alone.

A better suggestion would be to find and involve the small number of youths who ARE ALREADY interested or curious. Get them together; give them an avenue and a voice and a direction. Then we can all reach out together to the larger group. There’ll be more people to pull the elephant then.

Wedding Band Hampshire – Wedding Reception Advice

The following is based on our years of experience as a wedding band playing in Hampshire and surrounding counties. Not all of it is music related; we just want to make sure that your wedding reception is the best that it can be and your wedding band give you the best service possible.

Dance Floor – I know this might sound obvious, but make sure that the dance floor is big enough. Good live music gets everyone on their feet and it can become dangerous when people are dancing close to table on the edge of the dance floor, simply because there isn’t enough room.

Bar – Don’t have the bar in a separate room from the reception. When the Bar is located outside the room that the dance floor is in, guests tend to get a drink and hang around the bar talking so eventually half the party ends up out at the bar and the dance floor loses its energy.

Karaoke – Be careful about inviting family or other guests onto the stage to sing! Speak to the band in advance of the event if you really want to do this. A lot of bands are reluctant to let guests play their instruments; they are very expensive and people at wedding receptions often get carried away after a little too much amber nectar!

Energy – If the dance floor is rocking, don’t suddenly decided to stop everything for a wedding photo or a quick announcement; to get that same energy back will be exceedingly difficult.

The Wedding Dinner – A good wedding band will play lively, energetic music whilst the guests are being seated. The first course can take a little while to arrive so the band usually keeps going but are well trained and will often ‘soften’ the music when the food starts to arrive at the tables. It is worthwhile, however, that the band plays lively dance music in between course, just to keep everyone awake and excited about the dancing to come!

Wedding Guest Arrival – Have the wedding band playing as your guests arrive; it will set the scene, break the ice, and build anticipation and excitement about the dancing that is to come.

Interrupting The Band – The band are very experienced at what they do so it isn’t a good idea to keep interrupting them with special requests for music or to make announcements. It really can kill the energy of the dance floor and this will influence everyone’s memories of the day. It is best to make a plan with the band well in advance of your wedding reception and then try and stick to the plan as much as you can.

Choosing Your Song List – The band will know what songs work well together and in a particular sequence to get everyone having fun; go with their advice but you can always request your favourite tracks in advance. You can also put together a short list of songs you do not want played, so the band knows to avoid playing these songs.

Es ist wieder soweit! XD Letzte Woche war ich zu mies drauf, aber heute hatte ich gute Laune und hab mich an der zweiten Karaoke Challenge von Einstein versucht. Wer nicht weiss, was eine Karaoke Challenge sein soll: Es geht darum, dass man einfach mal aufnimmt ohne zu wissen, was einen erwartet. Wenn man Glück hat kennt man die Lieder und dann geht es darum mitzuträllern. Diesmal wusste ich echt wenig und hab fast nur rumgespackt. Mein Lieblings…naja “Wort” kann man nicht sagen, aber mein Lieblingsding war diesmal das “De de de” um mein Unwissen gekonnt zu überspielen Alle die noch nicht mitgemacht haben, macht mit!
