Bang Your Head – The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal – Review
Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal, David Konow, Three Rivers Press, 2002.
I always have been fascinated with both music and history and a book about the history of a particular music is just like killing two birds with one stone. I have read a few books about the history of heavy metal and Bang Your Head is the least elevating one. Of course it was a fun read, but all Rock n Roll books are fun to read. The only thing that made me bought this book is the fact that I have yet to find a book about the rise and fall of the 80′s Cock Rock scene, and this book, although not as comprehensive and thorough as I hoped it should be, contained some murky information about the craze, the 80′s world wide fad, which helped launch MTV to a gainful and profitable broadcast.
Towering hairs and cans of hair sprays, fishnets and spandex, groupies and backstage passes and the unforgettable Power Ballads and yes, the bands. Bands in the likes of Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Quiet Riot and Poison took the world by storm. It made its way to the Malaysian shores and before you know it, Search, Wings, Lefthanded and May, just to name a few, became Sunset strip’s little ambassadors.
The book is 496 page thick and the front cover depicts the dullest book cover I have ever seen. Being a person who normally judges a book by its cover (literally), it would have been better if the publisher opted to coat the front cover black and print the title somewhere in the middle white, I would have bought the book right there and then. The cover was sort of a cut and pastes assemble, with xerox quality coloration that I believe for the purpose of going after the old school fanzine feel.
The story telling was light; it gave a good bird’s eye view of the cock rock scene back in the early 80′s; the book was a fun read nonetheless but it could have been better though. Besides the lack of depth, the book was also in short of photos. You do not write a book about Rock N Roll, describe the glorious vista of the legendary Sunset Strip, illustrate hundreds of crazy ass bands and have just a couple of photos in it!

Buying Domain Names – Choosing and Purchasing The Right Name
If you plan to set up a company, blog, or community online, you’re going to need a good domain name. Domain names are like the address of the web page you are starting and you need to have a good one if you want your site to be successful. Of course, if you’ve never purchased one before, you may be wondering how to get started. Here are some helpful tips and ideas that will help you choose and purchase a domain name of your own.
Choose a Company for Purchase
The first thing to do when buying domain names is to choose a company to purchase the name from. You’ll quickly find that many different companies offer you the ability to purchase them, but not all companies offer the best service. Look for companies that have a good reputation in the industry. It’s also important to go with a service that is easy to use. You may even want to purchase the name from a company that will also provide you with the hosting you’ll need for your website.
Decide on the Name
Once you decide on the company you want to use to purchase domain names, you need to decide on the name that you want to use. You don’t just want to choose any old name either. The name you choose will be how people identify your site, so it needs to a good one. One of the most important tips for choosing a name is to choose one that ends in.com if possible. This is the most common extension. Of course, even if you purchase a.com name, you may want to also purchase the .biz, .org, .info and .net extensions as well. Then you can direct those domains to your.com website. This way no one else can use your name on a different extension and take your traffic away from you.
Another important tip to remember when deciding on domain names is to choose a name that includes important keywords for your website. You also want to make sure that the name is a catchy one so people will remember it. If possible, avoid long options and look for ways that you can make it even shorty. Make sure the name is easy to communicate and easy to pronounce for the best results. After you choose the name you want and make sure it is available, then you can go on to purchase the name.
About the Price
The price for domain names can vary, but they usually run about $10, depending on where you make the purchase. Some companies will offer you free domain names if you purchase their hosting, which can be a good way to save some money. Compare prices and go with a package that will fit into your budget.
With this information, purchasing domain names is a much easier task. Keep these tips and ideas in mind and you won’t have a problem purchasing and choosing the domain name for your website needs.
What Is a Domain and Why Do I Need One
The internet can be a wonderful thing in so many ways but if you have a product or service you want to sell, you not only need a website but a domain name. Much like a brick and mortar store needs an eye-catching storefront, a domain is a very effective tool that attracts and brings in the traffic you need to succeed.
Just as real world businesses need physical addresses in order for people to find them your internet website needs a way for people to find you. Your URL needs a host much like a house needs a foundation to stay put in one place. Hosting services are a bit like our highway system-they provide the infrastructure for web surfers to travel along in their searches what interests them.
If hosting services are highways, domain names are the attractions situated at the exits. They are easily recognizable and if you choose well it will be a name that tells traffic what to expect in a way that they can easily remember. If you were confronted with two websites how would you tell if they had what you needed? One may be listed as speed54.past.enginewas.com while another might read fastengines.ca. If you were looking for a site to buy an engine to restore a classic car, which one would you choose? The first is vague and might have what you want but the second is definitely descriptive enough to make you click on it to see what the site has to offer. And the name also tells you that you are going to a Canadian site rather than one across the world.
Those two URLs reflect different domains. The first belongs to a very vague domain name that doesn’t really tell you a lot. But “fastengines” tells you that if you don’t find it there, they probably have resources that will lead you to exactly what you’re looking for. The first domain is undoubtedly struggling while the second is certainly growing and doing a brisk, consistent business. It’s easy to find on the internet highway.
While you can have a domain without a website, you can’t have a website without being hosted by a domain. By owning your own domain you have a web server to store your files were you can make them available to visitors. You can rent space to other websites that sell products or services that complement your own; in other words you can make your own virtual shopping center with a steady stream of income.
Create Profitable Information Products From Freely Available Public Domain Works
Author Yanik Silver describes an exciting way to create content for your information product that I had not thought much about until reading his book, Moonlighting on the Internet: 5 World-Class Experts Reveal Proven Ways to Make Extra Cash. He recommends cashing in on information in the Public Domain, that is, information that is free to use in any form without anyone forbidding it with a copyright.
(Check with a lawyer to confirm the copyright status of any product you decide to use – especially if you plan to make money from it. Copyright law varies in each country, so verify your laws if you live outside the United States).
He describes how he created products he sells for thousands of dollars per month from information in the public domain. Where did he find this information and how was he sure what he used was not copyrighted? To answer that question we have to understand current U.S. Copyright law. Here is what is available without copoyright:
Facts, figures, ideas, titles, etc. – Works granted or donated to the public domain. Some copyright holders explicitly donate their work to the public domain. Yanik cites the example of P.T. Barnum’s autobiography that the author donated to the public domain when he wrote it. Work of the U.S. government or agents. Nearly all Federal works are in the public domain and some state publications are also. There is a lot of useful information out there that can be used, for example: Formerly copyrighted works that have fallen into public domain for a variety of reasons. There is a lot of additional information about this at Cornell’s .
Once a work is in the public domain, you can use it any way you want. Here are some ways:
Re-title the work Cut/paste parts of it Use one chapter and insert it into your information product use the ideas and reword it
If you make significant modifications to it, you can also re-copyright it. How’s that for a great idea for creating your own information product to earn money?
