Hip Hop Production Setting Up A Home Studio

Ibanez Guitars have been produced since 1945 when a company named Hoshino Gakki Company began producing a Spanish Guitar named Ibanez. By the 1960s, the company had developed a line of funky guitars to the US, where they were sold by department stores. In 1971, Hoshino opened up an office in Philadelphia to help distribute their high quality, reasonably priced guitars in an American market that was being flooded by low quality instruments at high prices.

Maybe Royal Wedding fever just hasn't hit the majority of the masses!

Despite Kate Middleton and Prince William's engagement being the cover story of People, Us Weekly, Star and OK! magazines, their sales were much lower than anticipated!

While People sold 1.3 to 1.4 million copies, Star only got 430,000, Us Weekly 620,000, and OK! 300,000 sales!

OK! Editor-In-Chief Richard Spencer explains:

"There were great predictions on how huge it was going to be, but it didn't happen."

Give it time, we say! The world needs to see more Kate before the fever sets in, and April is still months away!

We guess we just got struck down with it early! And we're certainly not complaining!

LOVE royal weddings!

Stop the presses, y’all. Actors Anne Hathaway and James Franco have just been signed to host the 83rd annual Academy Awards show on February 27, 2011. It was rumored that the pair were being courted for the gig and they must’ve both said yes as quickly as they could cuz now it’s official … Anne and James will be hosting the Oscars!

James Franco and Anne Hathaway have been tabbed to co-host the Feb. 27 Academy Awards. Both have films currently in release: Franco stars in “127 Hours” and Hathaway co-stars with Jake Gyllenhaal in “Love and Other Drugs.” Neither have hosted before, but Hathaway participated in a song-and-dance routine when Hugh Jackman hosted in 2009. Move comes a year after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences had Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin front the show. The Oscars will be telecast by ABC from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

While this will not be the first time that actors have co-hosted the Oscars I believe this is the first time such young actors have been tapped for the job. I LOVED Anne‘s song-and-dance bit with host Hugh Jackman during the 2009 Oscars (so much so that I would LOVE to have Hugh Jackman host the Oscars every year) so I think she will make a great host. Paired with Franco, well, it’ll be very interesting to see how it all plays out. The Academy Awards play much better to the older Hollywood set so I’m curious to see if the young duo will cater to the older, traditional Oscar watcher or if they’ll youngen up the awards show. I would’ve never guessed that either of these two would ever get to host the Academy Awards … let’s just hope they don’t eff it all up.

So … what do y’all think?

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Britney will likely get right back to work on her new album for as long as she can because the Xmas holiday will be here in no time.

Another splendid day in the Holy Land!

On Wednesday, we began our journey by paying a visit to the Jordan River and the baptism site of Yardenit on the southern tip of Galilee, near where Jesus himself was baptized (above).

Momma Perez even bought a bottle to take some water back home. Holy water! Literally!

We splashed some on ourselves and then we headed to the desert and up via cable car to the old fortress in the sky, Massada, which was built during Roman times - literally carved into the rock on top of the mountain.

Afterwards, we made our way to one of the famous beaches on the Dead Sea for a bit of a splash! And, though we're not much of a buyer of nicknacks and touristy things, we did purchase some Dead Sea bath salts and soaps.

We're taking Israel home with us too!

The Search for the Greatest Piano Teacher

Peter Hook and the Light brought their "Unknown Pleasures" show back to London's Scala, much to the joy of Joy Division fans both young and not so young. Young fans looking for new alternative music will find that, despite the passage of 30 years, Joy Division's songs sound fresh, and they will see the clear influence this band exerts right now on many of today's most famous names. Peter Hook and the Light, like the original Joy Division, is a different beast entirely than Joy Division on their two studio albums. To me, this is disappointing because it tends to make their live sound too similar to a host of other rock bands. That said, Peter Hook is one of the most important figures in British popular music in the last...well, ever to be frank. If he prefers to ditch the complicated audio processing and return to his roots, then he is quite probably right to do so.

Um, it’s cold here in SoCal, y’all. Not like “cold” cold like in the real world but pretty dang cold for SoCal. I had to bust out my fleecy A&F sweats and woolly flannel jackets … and that is just to wear around the house! It’s supposed to warm up again this weekend but, ugh, it already feels like Winter ;( That being said, not even the cold kept me indoors yesterday … and that is because I got a crazy craving for Chick-Fil-A. Thankfully, my friends Josh and Emma live fairly close to the Chick-Fil-A in Redondo Beach, CA so I hooked up with Josh and dragged him with me to enjoy some yummy fried deliciousness:

It is sometimes very difficult to get Josh to eat fast food but he was in a great mood last night to indulge with me … 3 trips to the counter later and after we scarfed more chicken nuggets than I care to mention, we were sufficiently sated. So, yeah, that was pretty much my Tuesday. I hung out at Josh’s for a while then made the trek back home. Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures in life that make all the difference ;)

I don’t think I have anything major planned for this chilly Hump Day. I do know that it’s getting close to the time of the year where I pack away my shorts and flip flops and dig out my jeans and long-sleeve t-shirts. I know some people LOVE the cooler weather of Autumn but I am NOT one of those people. Ah well. Hope you’re warm and cozy wherever in the world you are right now ;)

When learning how to draw a face you need to understand the structure, proportions and the various parts that make up that face. Before I offer you some kind of guideline for the structure, proportions and the various parts of the face, I need to make it clear, that whilst it is really important to get a good understanding of the components that make up the face, it is not an exact science by any means. If you have ever researched the topic you'll know what I mean, you'll find there is a lot of conflicting information and many offering some kind of proof to back up their own particular theory. I am sure no one is deliberately trying to mislead us of course; I believe it is because humans are very diverse beings and there are just so many variables to take into account.
