thread_title: Message board

message: I'd like to recommend making an aniversary subpage for every month. That way they can be edited as needed without loosing info. The month variable could be used to control the display, thus making it work automagically. The code would look something like this:



The "current" month of October would be kept at Portal:Music/Anniversaries/October for example. (I've copied the text to that page as an example and for the other existing months.).
And here it is implemented:
 
[ edit]  Anniversaries
       
All months: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December

I was wondering if you could help me. I have this music video playing over and over in my head but I cant remember who the artist is or what the song is. I know this is a long shot, but if can help me, please do.
The music video starts off with a guy in casual clothes and he finds this balloon with a womans face on it. He tries to catch her, but fails, then she lets him catch her (the balloon) they walk down the street and a bunch of kids see them. One of the kids has a ketty and shoots the balloon-faced-girl and she pops. Its a beautiful duet between these two.

While it may appear somewhat useless in case of the sound of a piano or a violin, it does much less so when one would like to feel the difference between a clarinet and an obeo.

It may be interesting to agree on a simple melody which could then be interpreted on various instruments thereby making it easy to compare the sound.

I'm not sure whether Wikipedia uses something MathML or LaTeX based for its mathematics, however that is the sort of thing I'm talking about. MusicTex perhaps?

thread_title:  Musical Notation in Articles?

thread_title:  New layout 

message: "Music can be in many forms of heaviness and lightness, heaviest being black viking metal, lightest being petite classical."
This sentence in the portal intro just stands out to me as very strange. While I'm not refuting it, I'm not so sure it should be stated in such a blankly authoritative manner either. If we're going to talk about the general qualities of music in the intro, isn't it best to stick to the better established ideas of tempo, rhythm, and dynamics? "Heaviness" may be more accessible, and in some ways descriptive, but it's also very subjective.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.76.186.98 (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Go to Talk:CBS Records and help decide whether the article should be on both business entities called CBS Records. We have CBS Records (1962-1988) with 1,300 incoming links and CBS Records (2006) with 4 potential links. The alternative for the article is just CBS Records (2006) with 4 potential links and then change all 1,300 incoming links to one of the other business entities related to CBS Records (1962-1988) such as Sony which bought the company in 1988 or Columbia Records or Epix Records or any other of the subsidiary labels owned by RCA Records.  --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Beatles RfC 

message: I propose to add to the Artist Infobox a section where it shows the artist's influences, and to whom they influenced; just like the one in the Philosophy area. Here's an example:
I believe this addition will give a better understanding of the different periods of music and which artists got their "special sound" from. Kind of like saying: 
Queen was influenced by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Black Sabbath, Slade, Deep Purple and David Bowie.
Queen influenced Anthrax, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Dream Theater, Extreme, Trivium, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, George Michael, Green Day, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Journey, Kansas, Katy Perry, Keane, Lady Gaga, Manic Street Preachers, Meat Loaf, Metallica, Mika, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, Queensrÿche, Van Halen, Radiohead, Robbie Williams, Trent Reznor, Steve Vai, Sum 41, Styx, The Flaming Lips, The Killers, and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Only that in the neat style of a table.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteveMX (talk • contribs) 03:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I would like to know what thinking about the source Hit Parade Italia. Because it's used for songs like the Good Article "Into the Groove" or "Hungry Like the Wolf" inside the charts with the name of FIMI. But the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana was born in 1992. So how how FIMI could rank in 1982 and 1985 ? What's more, according to the website :
"In Italia, la prima classifica di vendita settimanale risale al 1959 e fu pubblicata dall'ormai scomparsa rivista "Il Musichiere". Da allora, negli anni, si sono succedute diverse classifiche, più o meno autorevoli ed affidabili. Le nostre classifiche sono ottenute rielaborando tutti i dati disponibili dalle pubblicazioni dell'epoca e sono in continuo affinamento man mano che recuperiamo i relativi dati, depurandoli di errori ed incongruenze." 
"In Italy, the first of the weekly bestseller list dates back to 1959 and was published by the now disappeared magazine "The Musichiere". Since then, over the years, there have been several classifications, more or less authoritative and reliable. Our rankings are obtained by rearranging all available data from the publications of the time and are in constant refinement as we recover its data, trying to remove errors and inconsistencies."
And:
"Il terzo limite è dovuto alla non completezza dei dati in nostro possesso. Ma su questo punto tu che stai leggendo queste note puoi fornire un contributo notevolissimo, aggiungendo i dati in tuo possesso a quelli già presenti nel sito." 
"The third limitation is due to the incompleteness of the data in our possession. But on this point you who are reading these notes you can provide a remarkable contribution, adding the data in your possession to those already on the site."
Thereby, Hit Parade Italia sounds not very reliable.
Should we don't use it?
