100 Years of Rock Visualized

PopWaves: Making of the Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music Reebee Garofalo: From the beginning I used the year-end pop charts of leading trade magazines like Billboard that Larry and I researched to compile the basic data, and consulted music encyclopedias, the rock press, and, more recently, any number of online databases, as well as a team of experts in the field (academics, radio personalities, music journalists, etc) to help me craft genres names and categorize hard-to-place artists. Still, the results are quite subjective, much more an art than a science. It is worth noting that the various inputs that determine the chart position of a given recording have changed over time. What was once a straightforward, if notoriously corrupt, tabulation of record sales and radio play, has become an unruly assemblage of new formats and platforms, and new ways of accessing and sharing music. As a result, it is unclear whether chart position in 2014 is measuring quite the same thing as chart position in 1967. Reebee Garofalo: More History of the Chart

This mix is comprised of tunes I've been digging out for a night I'm starting in Dubin's Sugar Club called Backstory. It's an attempt to join all the dots between all the music's of the world that have rocked my soul over the past two decades. /// Backstory is a night of dancing tunes and original visuals hosted by Donal Dineen. Each installment will feature a guest DJ and Cork’s finest Stevie G will be the inaugural incumbent. The idea is to tell a story using tunes from all decades of dance music from 1930’s West Africa to the present day.

Hear The 60 Songs That Saved Bono's Life Today marks Bono’s 60th birthday. To celebrate, the U2 frontman compiled a four-hour playlist that spans his life – from the songs that influenced him during his teenage years, to memorable collaborations with his musical heroes, to the music that continues to inspire him from a new generation of artists today. To accompany every song on the playlist, Bono is also writing a fan note – several of which he shared today. Selections from the “60 Songs That Saved My Life” playlist include David Bowie’s ‘Life On Mars’ (of his 1971 LP, Hunky Dory), R.E.M.’s ‘Nightswiming’ (off 1992’s Automatic For The People), The Beatles’ 1963 single, ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’, The Fugees’ rendition of ‘Killing Me Softly’ (off 1996’s The Score) and Billie Eilish’s 2019 single, ‘everything i wanted’. In a note on U2’s website, Bono offered a few poetic words of introduction. He shared six of those letters today and will continue to post them over the coming weeks.

See How Finance Works for the compound interest formula, (or the advanced formula with annual additions), as well as a calculator for periodic and continuous compounding.
