Looking For Song Suggestions.....

Released in 2019, this is an underappreciated track by Dabbledob as it has 25 views on SoundCloud. “Famine in the Land of Dub” is one of Dabbledob’s 17 current songs. Check their music on Spotify. Dabbledob’s sound crosses quite a few genre lines. Through his work, there is a large degree of crossover of musical styling. That is definitely shown through his songs. “Famine in the Land of Dub” by DabbleDob The icon for the song depicts a fantasy warrior riding on a mystical toad. That combined with the name, “Famine in the Land of Dub” invokes imagery of a medieval fantasy realm with the music of that genre such as folk, medieval instrumental, indie rock, and so on. It’s not what you’d expect with the name it has. It brings a pleasant surprise when the song starts as it’s completely different from what you’d originally think. This is a genre-bending song for sure. “Famine in the Land of Dub” certainly brings in its own mesh of Reggae, Ska, Blues and Jazz. The delivery of the song, although confusing at first, is a great chill song. “Famine in the Land of Dub” is quite a bit more than the sum of its parts with its purely instrumental work, rhythm, and explorative production. During the whole song, there are no vocals. Some of his other songs, such as “Shoot To Kill”, “The Princess is here”, and “Le Bombe Neutron”, have included sound bytes and vocals. This song has only the instrumental. This allows the listener to focus solely on the sounds as they’re introduced and melded with the previous tunes. The song begins with a rhythmic sound that evolves into a traditional reggae rhythm, which would typically signal an indie reggae song, but when acoustic guitars, sound effects, and a blues trumpet are added, the audience knows this is not your typical song. Overall the song is dominated by a jazz tone but it’s hard to pin down the genre. It’s reggae with notes of a jazzy trumpet, making for an interesting combination of genres. It eventually soars into smooth jazz toward the end, with science-fiction-like sound bytes that would make Star Trek fans nostalgic. Famine in the Land of Dub by Dabbledob 7/10

“Honoring the evolution of the 50 most popular cover songs of all time.” Galaxy of Covers Description Galaxy of Covers is a project looking at the evolution of songs and their cover songs over the past 50 years. Tania Boa, Ilya Boyandin, Mark Hintz, Jan Wächter, and Benjamin Wiederkehr are responsible for the research, concept, design, and development. Created by Interactive Things , a digital design studio in Zürich, Switzerland, this project creates a visualization of cover music. “Our most beloved songs have a longer history than we might think. They might exist in hundreds of alternative versions created by other artists in distant decades. Those versions can differ in character and style and reach completely different audiences. We looked closely at the 50 most popular cover songs as well as the original works. Galaxy of Covers is the result of this analysis and allows you to explore the evolution from idea to recording” Using creative and innovative visuals, the data appears as a solar system with the covers orbiting around the Sun, or the original song in this case. This is a beautiful example of data visualization. This view shows each version of the song with the appearance of the ‘planet’ or cover song correlating to it’s characteristics. Shown by size, spead, diameter, and shape, they are able to represent popularity, tempo, valence, energy, and speechiness of each song. The data comes from several sources including the following. BBC: List of 50 most popular cover songs. Echonest: Information on tempo, valence, energy, and speechiness. Spotify: Information on popularity. Secondhand Songs: Information on cover version, artist, and date. Whosampled: Information on music genre.

Music has had a substantial impact on my personality. It allowed me to express who I truly was, gave me confidence during moments of doubt, and, most importantly, it relieved me of any negative emotions daily. KDrummer 16 in an interview with Switching Styles Bringing you amazing drum covers, brought to life and creating new levels with practical, edited effects. These covers are hard, energetic, amazing and visually stunning. These visuals add to the drum covers themselves, allowing them to “capture the beauty of drumming, and of course the drumming of the metal and hard rock genre.” Starting in September of 2014, KDrummer 16’s YouTube channel has grown to 15,771 views and continues to grow. His love for music started way before YouTube, however. In fact, it started in his 3rd-grade music class. “My friends and I watched this film that focused on the drummer quite a bit, and I thought how cool it would be to play like that. One day, my Dad came home from work with a tom drum in his hand; I was so happy to have received the first drum that I didn’t even realize there was an entire five-piece kit behind him!” KDrummer16 is a drummer with a lot of skill and even more attitude. He covers hard rock bands such as Godsmack, Nine Inch Nails, Slipknot, Mötley Crüe, Tool, Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold. These are the bands that have inspired his sound: aggressive, ecstatic, and fun. “The musicians that inspire my sound are Danny Carey of Tool, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan of Avenged Sevenfold. Carey challenges me to play complicated fills and in odd time signatures, Bonham taught me to play loud and maintain a solid groove, and my ecstatic playing is all thanks to The Rev,” he explains in an interview with Switching Styles. KDrummer 16 Drum Covers Covers give him a chance to connect with people. They appeal to people because it can show a different side to their favourite songs. As he explains, “A drummer may decide to put a half-time feel over an upbeat feel, and it changes the entire emotion the song is trying to convey. If one really likes a song, they will find different ways to enjoy it, which always leads to covers”.Here are Switching Styles’ favourite drum covers from KDrummer 16. “IT is the End” Originally by Ice Nine Kills Let’s start with his personal favourite drum cover.

STEM stands for Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This is an academic discipline focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. November 8th is STEM day, which brings awareness to the industry that brings revolution to our world. Fun Fact: Finland ranks highest with the greatest amount of STEM graduates. Over 30% of university graduates come from related programs. Canada is sitting at 12th out of 16 with 21.2%. In recent years, there has been a push for increasing women and youth within STEM industries. When looking at gender within STEM, it’s important to differentiate between Persistence in STEM and representation in STEM . Representation is the number of each within the field. Persistence, however, is when those people are within the field for a number of years. Below are quick statistics from The Pew Research Center , and Statistics Canada. Women are less likely to go into STEM. First year STEM students are 44% women, while BHASE or non-STEM programs like business, humanities, health, and so on are 64% women. American employment has increased by 79% since 1990. This has raised from 9.7 million to 17.3 million. Among American workers with at least a bachelors degree older than 25, one third (33%) have an undergraduate degree within STEM. However, of those only half are employed in STEM. Regardless of the specific field, Canadian women on average graduated faster than men from STEM programs. A quarter (27% ) of women and 16% of men who began in computer and information sciences finished a STEM degree within four years. With the world changing as rapidly as it does, this discipline is vital as a front line for human society to evolve and adapt to new challenges. Celebrating Stem day on November 8th, Switching Styles is giving 8 stem themed covers to bring the science and math sector to life. “Lab Rules” by Greg and Mitch of AsapSCIENCE , Originally “New Rules” by Dua Lipa Fun Fact From The Song: Don’t smell chemicals by sniffing them.

Covid-19’s Impact on Canada’s Live Music has been seen throughout the industry. A s  the coronavirus situation has unfolded in Canada, Canadians see the impacts that it’s had on the music industry. There have been many impacts on Canada’s music industry directly and indirectly related to the Covid-19 pandemic. This impact is specifically seen in live music performances. The guidelines limiting live music have been lessened in the past weeks. Photo by Tim Mossholder on “ Live performances are going to change immensely, even when a vaccine is available. Mosh pits most likely won’t be able to be a thing for a long time. The whole experience will be different for a while. “  said Heather  Gunn , a journalist aspiring to write for the entertainment and music industry,  “ I don’t see live music coming back in a  “ normal “  way until a vaccine is readily available, and even then, artists and fans will have to take precautions. Concerts, as we know them, will never be truly the same again, or not for a long time at least. “ Alberta’s guidelines impacting live music performances have changed as the pandemic has progressed. Currently, Alberta’s guidelines are loosening up allowing for venues to present bands to perform. Opening up the live music, sector is going to bring much-needed funds into the music industry as Covid-19 has detrimentally impacted musicians financially . “ Covid-19 has unfortunately caused a huge shift in the music industry. With the temporary absence of live music, musicians are hurting. It’s quite well known that live music is the biggest source of income for most artists, and that has come to a standstill for the time being. “  explains  Gunn . Covid-19 Updated Guidelines We’ve discussed the impact of Covid-19 on live music in Canada. Here’s more information on how to navigate the impacts. Here is a quick list of the updated guidelines to keep staff, volunteers, performers, and patrons safe. Singing along, cheering or yelling is discouraged. Encourage clapping or noisemakers. COVID-19 awareness in the form of signage, posters and information are to be easily accessible and visible including in different languages. Using online or touchless pay options when possible. Ensuring a 4-meter distance between performers and the audience by blocking off thefront two rows of seating, barriers, or signage. Encourage patrons to maintain physical distancing, follow proper hand hygiene, andrespiratory etiquette always with signage or verbal announcements. Consider adjusting spaces accessible to the public to support physical distancing including… Controlling entrance and exits from high traffic areasallowing for staggered entry. Ensuring a minimum 2-meter distance between attendants. Limiting crowded or bottleneck areas with staff, volunteers, or barriers to redirect people that gather in these specific areas. Using markings to encourage physical distance in lines .  When possible offer alternatives to in-person attendance like live-streaming or drive-in. Maintain regular cleaning and sanitation of high touch areas. Non-traditional venues such as pop up venues are discouraged because of “difficulty of maintaining appropriate distancing and managing the size of the gathering”. Other non-traditional venues such as outdoor events and drive up events have their own guidelines. Survey of Audience Confidence Its not just musicians that feel the impact of COVID-19 on Live Music in Canada. Audience confidence has been shaken to say the very least,  with Half of all Canadians not being comfortable going to a live performance in the states while 32% say it will take at least six months to be comfortable again. Despite the stress and concerns over live music, It’s important to people as shown by research done by Music Canada and Abacus Data as most music lovers will really miss seeing live music. Photo by Rafael De Lancer on As the pandemic continues, our research found that self-identified “live music lovers” now miss live music even more than they did in April. 90% of respondents in this group now say “I really miss going to concerts” — and 89% of this group agree that digital content will never replace the feeling of seeing live music. Erin Benjamin, President and CEO of the Canadian Live Music Association. Reopening live music venues are going to require a lot of work both from the music industry, the Canadian government and the community of music lovers. “What we find interesting about what our research demonstrates is that live music is not going to just disappear. Canadians really miss the experience and want to come back, and we know they will return to venues and shows in time, and when they feel comfortable with others around them,” said Benjamin.

Switching styles is bringing you spooky covers of “Bury a Friend” by Billie Eilish. Halloween comes with it a mirage of spooky imagery, of other worlds. Death, graves, and burials are all perfect examples of Halloween imagery. This song shares that same Halloween imagery. This is why we’re bringing you some Eilish covers to liven up your ghoulish parties. Released in 2019 within When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? , which debuted at #1 on the UK Albums chart. Its eerie lyrics and instrumental make it perfect for October. But its amazing rise on charts and eerie sound are not why it’s a Halloween choice to cover. The concept behind the song itself is creepy. Billie Eilish wrote the lyrics from the perspective of a monster under her bed. That makes the song just that much more creepy. Eilish explained that the song “is literally from the perspective of the monster under my bed. If you put yourself in that mindset, what is this creature doing or feeling?” This was because of Eilish’s own experiences with sleep paralysis. This is a terrifying syndrome where one’s mind wakes up before the rest of their body. This leaves them able to perceive their environment, but they can’t move. This syndrome comes with creepy hallucinations and paranoia. “I have these terrifying dreams,” she said in an interview with OK! Magazine . “Sleep paralysis, night terrors. It’s like the whole night is terrifying and then I wake up.” Billie Eilish Covers Below are hair-raising covers of Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend” for your listening pleasure. “Bury a Friend” Spooky Cover by Creature Feature “Bury a Friend” Metal Cover by The Animal In Me “Bury a Friend” Acoustic Cover by Adam Christopher “Bury a Friend” Remixed Cover by KIM! and NSG Dark Room “Bury a Friend” Cover by Saint Rien “Bury a Friend” Giant Mbira Cover by PomplamooseMusic “Bury a Friend” Cover by Germano “Bury a Friend” Rock Metal Cover by NateWantsToBattle “Bury a Friend” Cover by Lizz Robinett “Bury a Friend” Metal Cover by Nik Nocturnal Thank you for reading through this article.
