Are You Brave Enough for the #BoycottTRUMP #FACEBOOK Challenge? Make America NICE Again

Are You Brave Enough for the #BoycottTRUMP #FACEBOOK Challenge?

In a desperate attempt to ‪#‎BoycottTrump‬ and any other political stupidity, I am experimenting with "hiding" articles that are ridiculous, false, and divisive and seeing what happens.

This does not mean I am ignorant, since I am actively seeking news stories from reputable stories (I AM a media prof after all), but it does mean that I am less likely to be manipulated or get pulled into "discussions" (really arguments and hatemongering) that have their basis in anger and hate, not truth and bettering our society.

I encourage everyone else to do the same.

SO HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:

UNFOLLOW any Facebook or social media feeds obsessed with angry political posts
HIDE 5 Trump related Articles EACH DAY from Facebook and social media feeds
AVOID engaging in controversial discussions
BLOG your well-informed political thoughts instead of shouting on social media
SHARE with the world

I would venture to say that at least 75% of what is on FB today is false, and the media is manipulating us by avoiding real issues like the current war, genocide in the Middle East, the failing economy, issues with education and poverty, etc. so you are doing yourself a service by not falling into the rabbit hole. ‪#‎UnfollowHate‬

Let's show Trump and the Media that we are not SHEEP

WE ARE STEALTHY WOLVES

And it's time that we start acting like it!

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.

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 : ...
