Gerald Levert Voices Pop Music CD Review

I can describe the latest release from Pop sensation Gerald Levert for you with just one word… Outstanding!

Voices kicks off with a great track, I Like It, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Voices is a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this album. Overall Voices is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - All The Times, track 4 - It Hurts Too Much To Say, and track 13 - So Alone

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - I Like It. Wow!

Voices Release Notes:

Gerald Levert originally released Voices on October 4, 2005 on the Rhino Records label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. I Like It - (New Recording) 2. All The Times - (with LSG/Faith Evans/Coko/Missy Elliott) 3. Storm Has Passed - (New Recording, with Sherena Wynn) 4. It Hurts Too Much To Stay - (with LeVert/Kelly Price) 5. Wind Beneath My Wings - (with LeVert/Eddie Levert) 6. Written All Over Your Face - (with The Rude Boys/LeVert) 7. Last Time I Saw You, The - (New Recording, with Vanessa Williams) 8. That's What Love Is - (with Miki Howard/LeVert) 9. Rose By Any Other Name, A - (with Teena Marie/LeVert) 10. All I Want Is You - (with LeVert/Kelly Price/K-Ci) 11. I Believe I Can Fly - (with Yolanda Adams/LeVert) 12. My Side Of The Bed - (with LSG) 13. So Alone - (with Men At Large/LeVert)

Personnel: Gerald Levert (vocals, background vocals).

Gerald Levert is no stranger to inspired collaborations, having worked with Levert, LSG, and his father's band the O'Jays. His duet record VOICES is presented in the smooth, serene manner which becomes him, quietly presenting two engaging new songs--the catchy "I Like It" and the inspirational "Storm Has Passed" with Sherena Wynn--along with classics like "Written All Over Your Face" (sung with its original singers, the Rude Boys) and "I Believe I Can Fly" with the perfectly complementary vocals of Yolanda Adams.

Kerchoonz Scraps Artist Fee During Unsigned Competition

Kerchoonz.com - the much anticipated answer to the music industry's current downloading problem - is to scrap its artist sign-up fee for Christmas.

The groundbreaking new website, swamped by over 8 million hits and 80,000 unique visitors in November, is scrapping its £12.50 fee to mark the start of Kerchoonz Live - a month long competition to find the hardest working unsigned acts on the circuit.

Bands and artists have until the end of December to use Kerchoonz.com to promote themselves and earn money in a bid to bag a recording session at a famous Glasgow studio. As well as being able to record three tracks at the hands of top producer Ian Morrow (Wet Wet Wet, Rod Stewart, Seal), acts will get to keep all money earned from plays and downloads on Kerchoonz.com.

"I can imagine it's going to be huge and why not?" says former Stereophonics star Stuart Cable. "Becoming a professional musician in a band is the hardest job in the world - so to do it this way is great."

The social media platform lets registered artists and songwriters share their music and videos with fans while getting paid for every stream and download through a combination of the ISRC and play counts by utilizing unique coding and encryption within the application. Kerchoonz pays unsigned acts half a penny for every play and up to 10p for every download - by far the largest payments available to any act choosing to give away their music online.

Artists can even earn money by recommending other musicians to the site and, with no limit on the number of people you can recommend, it's the hardest working acts that will reap the greatest rewards.

"Kerchoonz.com takes the world of online music to a completely different dimension by allowing musicians to earn money from their work without being exploited" says Co-Founder, Indiana Gregg.

Kerchoonz.com is currently locked in talks with both independent and major record labels to bring further content to the site, providing a comprehensive music catalogue for fans.

"If bands and artists use the promotional tools we provide for them, Kerchoonz.com will act just like a record company. Artists can effectively ‘sell' their music without charging their fans anything for it," says Gregg.

Kerchoonz is a place where musicians, artists, film makers, fans, business people, and technologists can meet and exchange in a free and open environment. Our mission is to provide a social platform that enables all of us to explore and create, listen and be heard, give. receive, and discover. Kerchoonz was founded by musicians who believe that artists and musicians should be encouraged and also compensated for their work.

Gastric Banding for Weight Loss

If your obese and are looking to lose weight and have tried diet and excerise then Restrictive surgery could be the answer. In a restrictive surgery e.g. gastric banding, the surgeon uses one of a variety of techniques to reduce the size of the stomach. After restrictive surgery, a person feels full faster, eats less, and hence will lose weight.

The full names for the two types of restrictive surgery for weight loss are:

  • Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding which id the most common form of restrictive surgery, and
  • Vertical banded gastroplasty

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding

Laparoscopic gastric banding is often called gastric banding or lap banding and is the second most common weight loss surgery, after gastric bypass.

Gastric Lap band surgery will involves the following:

  • Using laparoscopic tools, the procedure will place an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach.
  • Squeezed by this silicone gastric band, the stomach becomes a pouch with about an inch-wide outlet. After banding, the stomach can only hold about an ounce of food, so you will feel full alot faster.
  • A plastic tube runs from the silicone gastric band to a circluar device just under the skin. Saline (sterile salt water) can be injected or removed through the skin, flowing into or out of the silicone band.
  • By adding the saline the band can be tightened or loosened as needed.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding can help to reduce your weight by about 40%  on average. So someone who is 200 pounds overweight could expect to lose an average of 80 pounds after gastric banding. However, these results vary widely depending on the person.

Gastric banding is considered the least invasive form of weight loss surgery and is also the safest too. The procedure can be reversed if necessary and the stomach generally returns to its normal size.

Gastric Lap banding surgery has a low complication rate. The most common problems after lap banding surgery include:

  • Nausea and vomiting. Can by reduced by adjustment of the banding.
  • Minor surgical complications occur less than 10% of the time. These include problems with the adjustment device, wound infections, or minor bleeding.
  • The risk of death due to lap banding surgery is about 1 in 2,000.

Unlike gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding does not interfere with food absorption but just the quanitiy of food thats taken.So vitamin deficenceny for people who had Gastric banding is rare.

Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG)

Vertical banded gastroplasty also involves a similar plastic band placed around the stomach. In addition to the band the surgeon will staple the stomach above the band into a small pouch.

Vertical banded gastroplasty results in less weight loss, compared with other surgeries and also has a higher complication rate. Therefore due to this vertical banded gastroplasty is less common today as approx. only 5% of bariatric surgeons still perform this surgery.

Mixed Surgeries (Restrictive and Malabsorptive)

Restrictive surgery is an important part of nearly all weight loss surgeries. In the most common weight loss surgery, gastric bypass surgery, restrictive surgery is first done on the stomach. This “stomach stapling” creates a small stomach pouch.

The new stomach pouch is reconnected to a part of the small intestine further down. This leads to less food eaten (restrictive) and less food absorbed (malabsorptive).

The Hacienda in Manchester was a legendary members-only nightclub that was arguably the most famous club of its time. Madonna's first appearance in the United Kingdom was at the Hacienda in 1984, which was the height of her fame if that's any indication of what kind of fanciful magic this nightclub possessed. First opened in 1982, the Hacienda experienced its glory days in the 1980s, a time that was dubbed "Madchester" in tribute to the musical awakening in Britain at this time brought on by the music played live at the clubs.

Owned and financed partially by the band New Order and its record label Factory Records, the early days of the Hacienda were surprisingly relaxed, featuring bands such as Ministry of Sound, Cream, and The Smiths. The late 80s saw the advent of the unique sounds of acid house and a new kind of party: the rave. The maniacal rave scene was highlighted by the use of ecstasy, laser light shows, and fast paced electronic music and it changed the landscape of nightclubs all throughout England. By 1986, DJ's playing house music had replaced live bands and the club gained world wide acclaim.

The turning point in the Hacienda's notoriety came in 1989 when a 16 year old girl named Claire Leighton collapsed as a result of complications from ingesting ecstasy, and died shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the end and after several rocky years, the Hacienda finally closed in 1997. An apartment building of the same name now stands on the spot of the original Hacienda at 11-13 Whitworth Street West; developers demolished the original building. The interior fixtures, including pieces from the DJ booth, were sold at auction in November 2000 with all proceeds going to charity.

Visitors to the site of the Hacienda today will find themselves in the city centre of Manchester, an area that is, not the least bit surprisingly, a hot bed of clubs and bars. Although Piccadilly Station is nearby, most tourists walk the area of city centre, which is quite small. With a wide selection of hotels, Manchester has a lot to offer the overnight guest. Local cuisine consists of anything from Thai to French to Japanese to Indian. Many locations match up an award winning restaurant to one of the finest Manchester hotels, so guests can opt for a night in after a long day of seeing the sights of this infamous musical city.

Tourist Information Guide to Manchester

Manchester is world renowned as the first industrialised city in the world, but the city also boasts an important cultural and musical heritage. The city's role in showcasing innovative punk bands in the 70s, and underground music in the 80s, cemented Manchester's reputation as a modern and vibrant area.

The city's nightlife, restaurants and cultural facilities rival those of the capital city, and the shopping facilities are unparalleled. Millions of pounds of regeneration funding have flooded in since the IRA bomb of 1996, and the city developed world-class sporting facilities for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Manchester's continued rise in importance is evidenced by the new Beetham Tower, the tallest residential building in the UK, and 'B of the Bang', the tallest sculpture in Britain.

History

Manchester was the first industrialised city in the world. Friedrich Engels wrote his 1844 treaty 'The Condition of the Working Class in England' whilst living in the city; and Elizabeth Gaskell was just one of the enlightenment authors to set novels in Manchester.

The Manchester Museum explores local and national history, and boasts an incredible 6million exhibits. Displays are separated by theme, and these include anthropology, archaeology, botany and zoology.

Other museums include Greater Manchester Police Museum, Imperial War Museum and People's History Museum.

Art Galleries

Manchester Art Gallery is the largest of several galleries in the city, located in a nineteenth century, Grade I listed building and showcasing works by local, national and international artists.

The Whitworth Gallery is home to 31,000 watercolours, prints, drawings, modern art, sculpture and textiles. Displayed items from the permanent collection are regularly alternated, and temporary exhibitions are hosted frequently.

The Castlefield Gallery comprises numerous exhibition spaces, and changes displays regularly. Cornerhouse exhibits contemporary art works in its galleries, and The Centre for the Urban Built Environment explores innovative architectural design.

Theatres

The Manchester Opera House is one of three in the city's theatre complex, and has a capacity of just less than 2000 people. Productions hosted in the venue tend to be large-scale, touring shows, and have included West End shows.

The Palace Theatre is nineteenth century, Grade II listed, and comprises three levels, two balconies and stalls, with seating for 2000 people. The Royal Exchange is also Grade II listed, and specialises in classic theatre, contemporary drama and new writing. The Studio Theatre was opened in 1998 and has a capacity of 120.

The Library Theatre is an intimate venue, in the basement of the central library. Others include The Dancehouse, The Contact Theatre and The Greenroom.

Restaurants

110 Restaurant is a popular, fine dining establishment, located inside a casino and serving British and European cuisine until 1am. The bar and gaming areas are open until 6am and, for legal reasons, children are not permitted inside the building.

Manchester's 'Curry Mile' is known around the country, and is home to more than seventy restaurants and takeaways. Shaandaar, Hanaan and Lal Haweli are popular Indian restaurants on 'the mile', and Saki Turkish Bar and Grill is well loved by locals.

Wong Chu is a traditional Chinese restaurant; and Pan Asia a more upmarket establishment serving Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Chaophraya comprises a bar and gourmet Thai restaurant, with seating for 120 people.

Pubs/Bars

The Temple is one of 500 pubs in Manchester, but unique in its location inside a converted public toilet. There is a wide selection of real ales, a unisex toilet and a jukebox stocked with the works of Manchester bands.

Cocktail bars in the city include Panacea, with a restaurant and selective door policy that attracts celebrities; Pure Space, also serving tapas and situated above a Northern Soul and funk club; Opus One, inside the 5* Radisson Edwardian Hotel; and Mojo, presenting classic rock from the 50s to the 90s.

Canal Street is home to a variety of lively gay bars. Queer has a 'men only' area and its own in-toilet radio station; Tribeca & Bed is a 'New York Attic' style establishment, with luxurious seating – including full-sized beds; and Churchill's presents karaoke and talent contests in traditional pub surroundings.

Nightclubs

One Central Street is located in the basement of a Grade II listed building, and presents funky house and disco four nights a week. The door policy is selective, and the bar serves a variety of wines, beers and cocktails.

Sankeys is an award-winning deep house, funky house, tribal and break beats club, boasting stylish d?r and top of the range sound system.

Essential is Manchester's top gay club, with a strict gay-only door policy and a fashionably kitsch d?r that includes spiral staircases and neon lighting. The club is open four nights a week, with live music events on Mondays, and commercial pop and funky house the rest of the week.

5th Avenue is a popular indie club, open six nights a week until 3am. Jilly's Rockworld presents rock, metal and goth music four nights a week, with live music on Wednesdays, and came third in Kerrang!'s 100 top UK club nights.

Shopping

Most of Manchester's plentiful shopping streets are entirely pedestrianised, and some of the walkways are covered. The Shambles and King Street are the places to find designer clothes boutiques; St Ann's Arcade is home to a number of prestigious jewellery, clothes and shoe stores; and Barton Arcade is a shopping and office complex. The Arndale Centre comprises 200 high street shops and several restaurants, with parking for 2000 cars.

Covering an area the size of thirty football pitches, and comprising four separate shopping areas, the Trafford Centre has been dubbed 'a temple to consumerism'. There is parking for 10,000 cars, numerous leisure facilities and a children's play area. There is also a multi-kiosk food hall, including a mini-Chinatown.

Sports

Manchester Aquatics Centre is one of twenty leisure centres in the city, and contains two 50-metre pools, a fitness studio, a workout studio, a health suite and sun beds. There is a full programme of classes and groups, including 'women only' sessions.

The Ten Acres Astro Centre comprises an outdoor Astroturf pitch and sports hall.

The UK's main Olympic cycle track is the Manchester Velodrome, which also contains twelve netball courts, ten badminton courts and a basketball court. Cycling tuition is also available for adults and children.

Manchester Golf Club and The New North Manchester Golf Club are two of fifteen golf courses in the area, and both comprise eighteen holes.

American Carnage Tour Tickets - Megadeath, Slayer and Testament go on the Road

It's a good time to be a dedicated fan of metal music, with some of the biggest acts in the genre currently going on tour. The Big Four—Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer and Anthrax—are due to perform in Europe in the near future, resulting in one of the biggest mash-ups of metal in modern history.

Of course, that doesn't do much good if you're over here in the U.S. But American metal fans have a lot to look forward to, as well. The American Carnage Tour is coming up this summer, bringing together three major acts: Megadeath, Slayer and Testament. The tour begins in August and will end over Labor Day weekend. More than 26 shows are scheduled in cities across the U.S., so expect things to heat up at the tail end of summer. They are also going to be hitting up Europe starting in July.

Early in 2010, metal fans were worried that some of the tour's dates were going to be cut from the schedule when Slayer's burly frontman, Tom Araya, was forced to get back surgery. It wasn't anything major, but apparently Araya suffers from Cervical Radiculopathy, a condition that may have been brought on by his trademark hair-swinging during shows. Fortunately, the condition was easily treated, and Araya is ready to get back on the stage.

Part of the appeal of this tour is undoubtedly the fact that two headliners are members of the Big Four. Megadeath, fronted by Dave Mustaine (who was himself a former member of Metallica), rose to prominence in the '80s as one of metal's most infamous acts. The band has gone through at least 20 members so far, but Mustaine has always been front and center, controlling the direction of the band. They were always considered pioneers of the thrash metal movement, and over a multiple-decade career, have released countless albums packed with hits.

Slayer is also a big name in metal music. In fact, they may rival Megadeath in terms of name recognition. Slayer's debut album, Reign in Blood, is known as one of the definitive heavy metal releases of the '80s, and one look at its pentagram-and-demon-adorned album cover will tell you why. This was a band that pushed boundaries with relish and challenged notions about how loud, fierce, and frankly scary metal could be.

Enter into this mix a lesser-known but still historically crucial metal band from Berkeley, Calif. Testament came up about the same time as Megadeath and Slayer, rocking just as hard and earning two Top 40 albums in the U.K. Their debut album, The Legacy, still stands as a prime example of late '80s thrash metal. Seeing them alongside bands like Megadeath and Slayer makes for quite an intense experience.

Altogether, the bands Megadeath, Slayer and Testament are three metal acts that no self-respecting metal fan would want to miss out on seeing.
