Music Therapy
Feb 6th
Ever sit down and wonder what makes us love music? Music therapy is the evidence based solution to making us feel better. Studies have been shown the music helps us out in many different ways through musical responses. Music therapy was first used in the United States back in the 18Th century, however it does date back far beyond that to ancient times. Around World War I, veterans noticed the healing power of the therapy by relieving pain perception on the injured. Music therapy is now used on all ages from small children, to teens, to adults, even the elderly are using the treatment. Music therapy has been used to help physical and mental health, relieve stress, communication abilities, psychological, social functioning, cognitive, and educational problems. The way our body can pick up on a beat or lyric, even on a subconscious level is amazing. That’s why when we hear something we like we become a part of it, we get surrounded by the music. It doesn’t matter how good or bad your day is going, theirs a rhythm out there waiting to keep up with the beat. To learn more visit the American Music Therapy Association.

We Interview Roi From “The Material”
Jan 30th
[digg=http://digg.com/music/SerTop_Interviews_Roi_from_The_Material]
I just caught up with Roi, who is the one of the guitar players in the band “The Material.” They are a very talented five-piece band that hails from the west! If you haven’t heard of them yet, definitely check them out. Below is the interview….Enjoy!
So, what’s the history of The Material? How long have you guys officially been together, how’d you all meet?
Jon and Colleen met in high school after being introduced by their mutual friend Mike (singer of Halifax). Colleen migrated to San Diego to pursue a Music degree at SDSU and Jon followed a little later. Noah was a friend of Colleen’s that she had met at work. The three of them began practicing with Kevin Faulk (Every Time I Die) on bass. Kevin eventually left and they found Brian and I through the wonderful world of craigslist. The Material has been together for 2 years total the current line up since Feb 2007.
What’s your writing process? Is it always this way?
We are still finding our niche as a songwriting team. Lately it has been working well with Me or Jon bringing in complete song ideas and showing them to everyone else. Then, we all add our parts and ideas. Still, this is not an exact science…
Do you use any FX at your live shows? If so what kind?
We use a lot of effects for our guitars. Delay, reverb, phase, univibe, chorus, wah, ring modulator…we are no Mars Volta but, we use what is necessary to be sonically pleasing.
What would your dream show be, if you could play with any band at any venue?
Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, & the Material. This show could be at my house and it would still be amazing! More >
A Radio Station That Adapts To You!

Pandora Radio is truly amazing, not to mention that it is completely free! If the fact that it actually adapts to you doesn’t impress you, then check out the user interface. The people over at Pandora have been working on a huge project called the “Music Genome.” It not only gives you what artist you like, it describes to you exactly what kind of a song your listening to. For example, if I type in “Sick Puppies”, than it will tell me exactly what they are catagorized as in the Music Genome Project and continue to play the music that I like.
