Bossa Nova
Right now, I am enjoying the swaying stream of a Bossa Nova music. It is a Brazilian type of music. I like Brazilian music despite I can’t understand nor speak Portuguese. I just don’t care about the lyrics when it comes to boss nova music, I really love the beat and the harmony. There are many boss nova songs translated in English so that works out with me (haha). The bossa nova style of music was popularized by the famous musicians Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1950’s. Some of you may have heard about them. The first time I heard the song called ” The from Ipanema” by Astrud Gilberto. I thought it was an Italian song. At that time, I just couldn’t identify what it was. I didn’t know any Portuguese and boss nova back then.
The bossa nova music derives from samba beat and is highly influenced by jazz. It is more commonly played on guitar and piano and sometimes with accompaniments of orchestra. And its rhythm always sways. The most popular boss nova was “The of Ipanema” which was sung by Astrud Gilberto and performed by the famous Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was also sung by Peggy Lee, which the title was changed to “The boy from Ipanema”. I also like the song “Desafinado” which means “slightly out of tune” by Antonio Carlos Jobim and also popularized by Frank Sinatra in his own English version.
Indeed Bossa nova speaks with love and a bohemian life. Until now, it is still popular around the world.
Munk Yourself
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.
Since I was a small child (I happen to be in my early thirties now, but don’t tell anybody lol! ). I always loved “Alvin and the Chipmunks” the cartoon. When they came out with the live action movie I was very excited, and it turned out to be cute and funny. Well now they have made a sequel, cleverly titled “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel”. It’s now available on DVD and Blue Ray discs and is also available for Digital Download. “The Squeakquel” brings back Alvin and his pals Theodore and Simon, and also introduces some new characters, which happen to be girl chipmunks, which may appeal especially to little girl viewers. There is a double DVD disc package available which has a bonus disc in addition to the main feature disc. The bonus disc has many features that the kids might find fun and enjoyable including chipmunk karaoke, etc. So, buy it now and add it to your collection.
Also there is a website you can create a chipmunk of your own version. Your kids (or yourself, if you’re so inclined) can dress Alvin and his friends in different outfits, etc., or make your voice sound like a chipmunk. You can also pick a song from pre-created list and sing along with it. If you are up to this, go to http://www.foxfamilyflicks.com for More Munk Mayhem. You and your kids will have a good time with it. As far as the movie itself, I think it is more suited to smaller children, but fans of The Chipmunks of any ages will also enjoy it.

Convention Hall Auditorium Organ
The photo show
n I grabbed from the net is Convention Hall Auditorium Organ. It is the pipe organ in the Main Auditorium (which can seat 41,000 people in the main auditorium) of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, built by the Midmer-Losh Organ Company. The great hall is part of the world’s largest pipe organ. The organ has 33,112 pipes in 455 ranks, including a full-length 64 foot Diaphone Profunda, ten 32 foot ranks, and manual and pedal reeds that are under 100 inches of wind pressure, while most organs never exceed 10 inches of pressure. It is said that it takes 4 1/2 hours to tour the entire organ. What a bizarre instrument!
