Boycott Stupid People: Rant about Kardashians, Reality Show Stars, and Idiot Politicians

BOYCOTT STUPID PEOPLE

I don't know about you, but I personally am sick and tired of hearing stories about Kardashians, Bieber, reality show villains, stupid politicians, and stupid people in general. Really? With all the war, poverty, economic collapse, and overall bad things happening in the world right now, bad things that are making ordinary folks absolutely incredible heroes, we need to focus on stupid people?

Here are a few examples of what constitutes a Stupid Person (the famous kind):

Celebrities with zero talent. (And no, a tape of a bedroom romp is something for National Geographic or National Enquirer, not something worth our eyeballs.)
Reality show stars that we elevate to god-like status.
Rich men and women that get away with murder because they are rich. Oh, and that category includes the wealthy politicians and bank execs that are running many countries into the ground.
Violent Athletes that are penalized more for dogfighting than for beating the snot out of women.

Well, what can we do? It's actually simple:

BOYCOTT STUPID PEOPLE

It's simple.

Don't click on a headline just because it has a juicy bit of stupid celebrity gossip.

Don't buy a product just because an ad shows stupid people using it.

Don't vote for someone just because they have the most money (ok, that train's left the station in the States at least, All Hail his/her Eminence Clinton or Bush again for 2016).

WE WANT YOU!

If millions of us stopped wasting time on these folks and instead focused on integrity, honor, doing what is right, then at the grassroots we could transform society, even when we are stuck with bobbleheads as leaders.

As long as we give these folks our time and money and votes,

we are doomed. No really, we are.

So if you are tired of the same old, please pass this on.

#NotMyEyeballs

And thanks for helping the world be a little less stupid!

Award-winning composer Sabrina Peña Young hopes that she is slightly less stupid than the average reality show celeb. Young is an obsessive Star Wars fan, a lover of anything Italian or Cuban, and is the director of the decidedly soon to be cult classic sci-fi apocalyptic animated musical Libertaria.

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap. Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
