Police Recruitment Video From 1958 Could Feature The First Footage Of The Beatles
Paul McCartney’s brother has confirmed an unearthed police recruitment video from 1958 could feature the first footage of the Beatles.
The Liverpool Police film, discovered recently by Peter Hodgson and posted on Facebook, appears to feature John Lennon, Paul McCartney and his brother Michael, who tells the Liverpool Echo he wouldn’t be surprised if the footage captures the boys watching the annual police parade.
“That could definitely be us,” he told the newspaper. “It was a really big occasion in Liverpool and that’s what we used to do every summer – take deck chairs and climb onto the concrete shed and watch a free show.
“I think there is every chance John would have been there that year – absolutely. His friend, Pete Shotton, was a police cadet. And George could easily have been there, too. It’s bloody mad – absolutely fascinating and unbelievable!”
Gaming music – does it really affects the player?
Developers are all going to ask the following question: gaming music – does it really affects the player? They need to know if this is the case if they are going to be able to successfully set their priorities when it comes to different parts of the games that they design. Most games are going to have background music of some kind these days. However, the developers are not always going to focus as much on the background music.
They should actually ask the players themselves about this. The players are almost always going to remember the theme music or the background music, for one thing. This is usually a good sign. If the music truly just faded into the background, there really wouldn’t be all that much of a point in focusing on it to the extent that a lot of developers do today. However, the players actually do remember the music to a large extent. Some of them are going to specifically access games just in order to listen to the songs that they really liked from the games. Other people have been known to cover the songs that they really liked from their favorite video games or slot games. The effects of the music were clearly not lost on them.
However, the effects of video gaming music can extend even further than that. Some people find that it is difficult to even really get into the mood of certain games otherwise. It isn’t a coincidence that a lot of people try to get the benefits of background music in real life. Some people play music at the gym. Other people are generally going to focus on putting music in the background while they are working or studying. This can allow a lot of people to get motivated or to stay motivated in the first place.
If music can motivate people at the gym or at work, it can certainly be an asset to anyone who is playing games. A few carefully selected chords can usually make a person feel a certain emotion or set of emotions almost immediately. Some developers are going to choose lively and fun music if the game is supposed to be lighthearted. Other developers are going to choose very dramatic music if the game is really supposed to be very intense and action-oriented. Games that are supposed to have some sort of a dark streak are often fitted with somber chords. The fact that it is possible to influence the moods of players with just a few notes and rhythms seems magical, and it is very well-documented in research and in personal anecdotal information.
Today, people can try exciting games at Royal Vegas online casino. Royal Vegas Online Casino games are often going to have exciting types of background music that will really complement the games themselves. Players are going to have an easier time really starting to appreciate the games with the sort of music that they can get with all of them. The games and the graphics will get them interested right away.
Feed your head with Grace Slick’s isolated vocals tracks for “White Rabbit”
“White Rabbit” is one of Jefferson Airplane singer Grace Slick’s earliest songs, written during either late 1965 or early 1966. It uses imagery found in the fantasy works of Lewis Carroll: 1865’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass, such as changing size after taking pills or drinking an unknown liquid. Slick had stated the composition was intended to be a slap to parents who read their children such novels, and then wondered why their children later used drugs. Characters Slick referenced include Alice, the hookah-smoking caterpillar, the White Knight, the Red Queen, and the Dormouse.
For Slick, “White Rabbit” “is about following your curiosity. The White Rabbit is your curiosity”. For her and others in the 1960s, drugs were a part of mind-expanding and social experimentation. With its enigmatic lyrics, “White Rabbit” became one of the first songs to sneak drug references past censors on the radio. Even Marty Balin, Slick’s eventual rival in Jefferson Airplane, regarded the song as a “masterpiece”. In interviews, Slick has related that Alice in Wonderland was often read to her as a child, and remained a vivid memory well into her adulthood.
