Don’t Let Other People Drag You Down

Image Source It’s probably true that you want to take the best possible care of yourself. Surely it only makes sense that, since we only get one body, that every single person would want to take as much care of their health as possible. Sadly this isn’t the case. As strange as it might sound, but there are a lot of people out there who simply aren’t that interested in keeping themselves healthy.

How to Add Depth and Character to Your Music

Contributed by Ryan Harrell I remember the first time I heard Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon. I couldn’t have been older than 9 (way too early for Floyd) but the strangeness of the soundscapes stayed with me. That you could use the crinkle of a cash machine as a percussion tool – as in “Money” – was a revelation, and it shaped much of my future music tastes.
