Noteworthy Music Sites
Emo Music
http://www.fourfa.com
“What the heck is Emo anyway?” begs the opening line of this site. To answer, Andy Radin, an Emo band member, put together this site to educate the confused youths out there (as well as some curious seniors citizens) about Emo music. Radin has divided the many sounds that fall under “Emo” into sub groups, such as “Emocore” and “Post-Emo Indie Rock,” and explains the instrumental and lyrical difference between them. Just want some good Emo records or Emo fashion tips? It’s all here.
Some History on Folk Music
http://www.folkmusichistory.com
Former folk festival programmer Gary Cristall decided to write a book about Folk Music in English Canada. This site is one method Cristall is using for research. The outline and introduction of the book are linked to the main page, and he asks for reader feedback on what he has so far, as well as any information of folk music. Cristall is asking for the opinions of folk performers and listeners before 1970, as well as any folk memorabilia such as songbooks and old festival programs. If you think there is some information Gary Cristall should include in this book, log on to his site and let him know.
