Sunday, March 18th, 2007I’m doing a bit of a themed week this week, it’s something different, so let me know what you think on Friday after it’s all done.
Don’t know what I mean by a themed week? Well stay tuned and find out!
Coming Soon, To A Music Bender Near You
Thursday, March 15th, 2007I’ve got some great ideas for some upcoming projects for Music Bender, and I’d figure I’d tell you about them, and ask you for more ideas.
Top Ten Lists
I’m always up for a top ten list, and I’m working on several right now:
Top Ten Dance Songs
Top Ten Love Songs
Top Ten Songs to Sing Along To
Questionnaires
I’m going to be asking some music related questions to my friends at school and sharing their answers online. So if you want an insight into teen music, here’s your chance.
Other ideas are more than welcome, so please drop a comment!
Finally, Streaming Music!
Friday, January 26th, 2007So, I finally found an awesome way to stream music through my blog! Radio Blog Club allows me to stream popular music straight through my site! So to celebrate, I figured I’d put up a few songs.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down
Rise Against - Give It All
Rise Against - Prayer For A Refugee
The Underground Sound
Friday, January 5th, 2007Definitive. The sound of the underground. Bands that you and I have not heard before making their debut to a select few.
But now that’s changing. Because I am lucky enough to have a friend who’s in the know, who goes to shows, and who can hook me up with tunes that I need to hear. With a spread of everything from punk to rap, he’s given me CD’s of new and old, local and national underground.
Underground music is independent of the commercialism you see in today’s pop culture. It is interminably more an art form than anything that’s on the big radio stations today.
And now, I begin listening. And soon, so shall you. (As soon as I figure out which of these CDs rock, and which… don’t.)
Avril Lavigne Announces New Album Name
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006“The Best Dam Thing”, a follow up to 2004’s “Under My Skin” will be released in April of 2007. The single of the album will be “Girlfriend”, which is to be released in February.
Regardless of her image, I’ve always enjoyed her music, and find it rather annoying when people won’t listen just because it isn’t cool.
This latest album is described by Avril as “fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way, all the good stuff.”
Sounds good, but we shall see.
Hello, Welcome, and Greetings!
Friday, October 13th, 2006Welcome to MusicBender.com, one of the new entertainment blogs from 451Press.com, launching today along with a bunch of sister blogs covering a range of topics.
Music Bender, as you will have already worked out for yourself, is to cover music in various ways: music news, videos, classic album overviews, and opinion. While my own tastes tend to cover guitar-based music (from Americana to Metal), I’ll also be dabbling in other areas that interest me as well: country, rap, R&B, and so on. I’ll try not to wade too far out of my depth 
My name is Mark, and I’ve been writing about music in various formats since the mid ’90s. I’ve run successful music websites, and the official sites of a number of big-name acts. I’ve also been blogging for the last few years, so being able to blog about music for 451 Press was something I couldn’t resist.
I hope you enjoy Music Bender, and find it usefull. It’s going to be great to dig my fingers into the big steaming pile of music out there and get my nails dirty.
