The emotional Moonlight Sonata
Today I’m going to write a line or two on the most famous piece in piano literature or even in classical music literature, the breathtaking Moonlight sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall Music
Recently, a woman from overseas made a video that has gone viral speaking on the changes in Jamaican reggae and dancehall music which in her opinion have lost their real intentions since the music has gotten more derogatory and is showing the Jamaican artistes and people in a different light. Yes, the music has changed due to the new generation of reggae and dancehall artistes who are slowly shoving the veterans of the genre out. I will not deny that some derogatory lyrics have always been in the music then, but it was not overly prominent, and only implied in a form where it was able to play on the radio without causing a stir.

On Music
Music - as is well known - does not actually exist. Until the 1800's, the smallest divisible unit of music was thought to be the note. The emergence of newly discovered radioactive isotopes, however, led scientists to the famous 'splitting the note' experiments, which opened up whole new vistas of musical research. It is now known that there are many, many units of music smaller than the note*. Still, the fact remains: music does not exist.
