When meeting a new person, one of the most common questions asked to get a conversation going is "What music do you listen to?"

This is a reliable way to start a dialogue between two strangers for many reasons: it’s easy, everyone listens to music, and because music is subjective any disagreements can be chalked up to a difference in opinion that (hopefully) stays friendly.

We tend to think that you can learn a good amount about a person from the music they listen to. What influenced them growing up? Is their general outlook on reality one of love and sunshine and The Beach Boys? Or one of raging against the machine with Rage Against the Machine? Or perhaps a continuous R&B dance party driven by artists ranging from Marvin Gaye to Kendrick Lamar and everyone in between.

Obviously we can’t learn everything about a person from the music they listen to, but it’s as good a place to start as any. Similarly, we can’t learn everything about the collective consciousness based on what records people are buying, but it is an interesting look into the current psyche of audiophiles.

Below we've collected the top 20 vinyl records being sold on Amazon right now.

As you scroll through, you’ll see a lot of records that I think reflect the consciousness of the moment well: getting into the holiday spirit, mourning the loss of some musical heroes, celebrating the return of some others, and crying to Adele.

Take a look and see if you need to make any quick additions to your record collection.

1. “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse

Amazon

Despite her tragic, too-soon death, Amy Winehouse has had a lasting impact on the music of our time. In addition to this record, the documentary "Amy" is well worth your time.

Buy it: $12.88

2. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi Trio

Amazon

The soundtrack to the television special you know and love. This record marks the first time Guaraldi scored a Peanuts feature, the role that would define his career. While this album doesn’t have all of the classic carols for you to sing along to in the car, the songs are all warmly familiar and some of the easiest listening you’ll ever find. You’d be hard pressed to find a better record to spin during your Christmas party.

Buy it: $18.35

3. “The Dark Side of the Moon” by Pink Floyd

Amazon

The source of the most ubiquitous album cover art of all time. It’s a great buy so you’re ready for the moment your son discovers Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time.

Buy it: $27.99

4. “Merry Christmas” by Bing Crosby

Amazon

Bing Crosby’s Christmas album contains "White Christmas," which is the greatest-selling single of all time with over 50 million copies sold. It’s next closest competitor is 17 million behind, so I think Bing has a pretty safe lead. If you’re into Christmas classics, this is an album that belongs in your collection.

Buy it: $16.99

5. “Abbey Road” by The Beatles

Amazon

A strong contender for the title of "Greatest Album of All Time," your collection is incomplete without it. Side two is arguably the greatest 22 minutes of music ever recorded, though I’ll acknowledge that claim comes with a healthy dose of personal bias. But regardless of my taste, you should own it to serve as a reminder of what an amazing band The Beatles were, and so one day your kid can listen to it on vinyl.

Buy it: $19.88

6. “Ultimate Sinatra” by Frank Sinatra

Amazon

Frank Sinatra was one of the most popular artists of the 20th century, having sold 150 million records worldwide. This collection of his greatest hits is an easy introduction to his catalog for anyone new to the crooner, and a fantastic bit of nostalgia for longtime fans.

Buy it: $28.99

7. “Legend” by Bob Marley and the Wailers

Amazon

As long there are kids in their freshman year of college sitting in a dorm room after experimenting with some extracurricular activities for the first time, this record will be a best seller.

Buy it: $19.69

8. “Blurryface” by Twenty One Pilots

Amazon

Twenty One Pilots has accomplished a rare feat in 2016, finding themselves getting played on Top 40 radio stations with regularity, while also popping up on indie and college radio stations. Back home, they are the only band since Bruno Mars and "Uptown Funk" that I have heard played on five of the six stations preset into my car radio.

Buy it: $24.01

9. “Traveller” by Chris Stapleton

Amazon

I don’t know much about Chris Stapleton, but judging by his album cover and the fact that two of the first five tracks on his record contain the word "whiskey," I’m assuming he’s the next big thing in country.

Buy it: $16.99

10. “Hardwired to Self-Destruct” by Metallica

Amazon

The upcoming double album from Metallica. While it doesn’t get an official release until next week, pre-orders have already been going crazy enough for it to get a spot on this list. It’s the band’s first record since "Death Magnetic" in 2008.

Buy it: $22.55

11. “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis

Amazon

Miles Davis is a genre-defining performer. If you're only going to own one jazz record in your collection, this should be it. If you already have a few jazz records in your collection and this one is absent, you should fix that immediately. 

Buy it: $20.69

12. “25” by Adele

Amazon

In Adele’s follow up to her breakout success in "21," she continued to channel pure emotion through sublime vocals and showed that she’s the rare type of musician that can sell out Madison Square Garden six nights in a row.

Buy it: $22.98

13. “Vessel” by Twenty One Pilots

Amazon

As mentioned above, people love Twenty One Pilots. I try to get it, and I come close to getting it. At their best, they make some of the catchiest pop songs I’ve heard in a while, and their stage performance is one to see without a doubt. Personally, I can’t get into the rap-singing thing they insist on doing almost every track, but I dig this record a fair amount.

Buy it: $17.99

14. “Christmas” by Michael Buble

Amazon

Michael Buble reminds us that while he is not a classic crooner the likes of Frank Sinatra, he might be as close as we get to that aesthetic in our lifetime. He is a gift to all who want to keep hearing standards done to their fullest, classiest, swingingest potential.

Buy it: $23.74

15. “22, A Million” by Bon Iver

Amazon

Bon Iver’s latest release "22, A Million" was expected to be an odd departure from his known sound ever since the cover art was put out online and confusing music blogs all over. The album did not disappoint in this promise.

Buy it: $23.69

16. “Journey’s Greatest Hits” by Journey

Amazon

As anyone who memorized all the words to "Don’t Stop Believing" in middle school is already well aware Journey is one of the ultimate nostalgia bands of all time. Why get a specific record when you can just enjoy the greatest hits?

Buy it: $17.88

17. “The Lumineers” by The Lumineers

Amazon

In their self-titled debut from 2012, The Lumineers quickly became one of those bands you could not escape, with "Ho Hey" getting picked up by seemingly every radio station in the country, and getting featured in movies and television shows looking for an emotional shortcut during romantic montages. All that said, these songs are pretty great, and I unashamedly sing along in my car.

Buy it: $16.39

18. “Rumours” by Fleetwood Mac

Amazon

"Rumours" features some of the best vocal harmonies ever recorded. I’ve long argued that this record should continue to win Album of the Year every year until something takes its spot. By my count, it’s still undefeated.

Buy it: $19.62

19. “21” by Adele

Amazon

Adele’s second release and the record that brought her worldwide fame, this album features hits including "Rolling in the Deep," "Rumor Has It" and "Someone Like You."

Buy it: $16.92

20. “Animals” by Pink Floyd

Amazon

Some of my favorite guitar riffs in history are contained on this record.

Buy it: $23.99

Vevo Lança Ferramenta De GIF Para A Maioria Dos Vídeos De Música

Vevo Launches GIF-Making Tool for (Most) Music Videos

Vevo is cutting out the middle man when it comes to making GIFs out of your favorite music videos. The video platform has announced an easy-to-use tool in its web player for making and sharing those lovable little video clips. 

The GIF-maker is available for most, but not all, of the 230,000-plus videos on the site. If you’re hoping to share a GIF of a video from most artists in the Universal Music ecosystem, then you’ll have to wait. A Vevo rep confirmed that videos from Universal Music Group, including many of the site’s top current clips, like DNCE’s “Body Moves” and Kid Cudi’s “Frequency,” are currently unavailable, but that they’re hoping to bring them into the fold soon. UMG is a co-owner of Vevo.

(That said, we were able to make this incredible GIF from a video by Maroon 5 -- who are on UMG’s Interscope Records (222 Records) -- so it doesn't appear to be a blanket blackout of all UMG-related artists.)

Again, it's easy: look below-right on a video player and you’ll see GIF button. Click it during any given moment in the video and it instantly creates a GIF around that portion. You can change the duration and scrub through the video to capture something specific, as well. There’s also an option to add a caption if you’re feeling extra creative. The feature is for the web player only.

After creating the GIF, you can then share it on Facebook or Twitter or grab the URL and send it around however you like. Clicking on the GIF itself sends you directly to the full video. What it doesn’t appear to have is an embed option, meaning news stories around this feature will have to link to the aforementioned GIF rather than put it right here.

Como Uma Banda De Rock Independente Starlet Fez O Maior Sucesso No Youtube Sem Mesmo Tentar

How Independent Rock Band Starlet Found Major Success on YouTube, Without Even Trying

It began, according to lore, on Jan. 1, 2013, with the reception of "The Message," a transmission emanating from a star in the Ophiuchus Constellation in the year 2047 that foretold the end of humanity -- and contained the required knowledge to avoid that fate. What followed was a series of events that could have been pulled straight from the pages of a Stephen King sci-fi thriller: The Message was delivered to Dr. Aston Wise, head of the mysterious Starset Society, setting off a chain reaction of violence and obsessive secrecy that resulted -- how else? -- in the formation of a four-piece art-metal band tasked with delivering this Message to the masses. That band was called Starset.

Led by singer/keyboardist Dustin Bates, Starset claims influences as diverse as Sigur Ros, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park and the film Minority Report. And Bates -- principal songwriter on the group's debut album, Transmissions, released July 8, 2014 via Razor & Tie -- has a research background in the U.S. Air Force, a history teaching at the International Space University in France and a masters in electrical engineering from Ohio University. In other words, he's the perfect man to lead the charge against the end of humanity as we know it.

Or something like that. The reality is, regardless of how humanity eventually decides to hurl itself into oblivion, Bates and his coterie of cinematic doom prophets have a knack for skillful marketing that goes well beyond the scope of the usual music industry spin cycle. Beyond Transmissions -- essentially a Message-driven concept album which debuted at No. 49 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 79,000 copies in the U.S. to date, according to Nielsen Music -- the band maintains a website devoted entirely to the Starset Society that explains its origins, in the studies of Nikola Tesla; has released a graphic novel, The PROX Transmissions, explaining some of the back story of The Message; and has published a 250-page book of the same title detailing the history even further. Their performances are referred to as "demonstrations," complete with the band in spacesuits and masks and Bates controlling things from a large, transparent screen. Everything, in short, builds into the larger narrative.

As a marketing plan, it's certainly worked -- Transmissions peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Hard Rock Albums chart upon release, while the band's biggest single to date, "My Demons," enjoyed the longest run to the top five of the Mainstream Rock Songs chart in history at 41 weeks, and spent more time on that chart than any other song in 2014.

Facebook Está Reprimindo Os Grupos Que Compartilham Música Pirata

Facebook is cracking down on groups sharing pirated music

First of all thanks to  Rob Price  for this article.

Although it doesn't like to admit it, Facebook sometimes plays host to some unsavoury or illegal activities.

From gun sales to drug dealing, people are always looking for ways to misuse the world's largest social network.

But sharing pirated music on the site just got a bit harder.

TorrentFreak reports that Facebook has recently cracked down on a string of Facebook groups dedicated to illegally sharing copyrighted music.

Netherlands-based anti-piracy group BREIN apparently flagged nine groups to Facebook that were being used to distribute "several thousand" albums illegally.

And it comes after Facebook deleted "a number" of other similar groups earlier this year.

"Links to infringing files hosted on cloud services were indexed on the pages. Knowingly posting links to infringing files is itself a violation," BREIN said in a statement.

The group has also been taking direct action against the people sharing music on these groups. In August, it tracked down one pirate who shared music he had uploaded in a Facebook group, and forced him into a €7,000 (£6,232) settlement, TorrentFreak reported at the time.

Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Outra Produção! Efeitos Sonoros E Correção De Audio - Video

Other Production! Sound Design and Audio Correction  - Video

Hi Everyone!

This is my other production, where I did first the audio correction on voice over, cutting the "ah" and "breath" and improving the whole voice over.

As the costumer asked to add some different sound, I put some sound on entire clip as you can see.

I liked to do this job 

Any comments will be welcome.

See you! 

A Música Para Ouvir Se Você Quer Reduzir Sua Ansiedade Em Menos De 10 Minutos (Video)

The song to listen to if you want to significantly reduce your anxiety in less than 10 minutes

In just eight minutes, it's been said to reduce study participant's overall anxiety by 65% and their usual physiological resting rates by 35%, Inc reports.

Of the 15 songs tested by market research firm Mindlab International, "Weightless" was found to induce the greatest relaxation in study participants, according to The Daily Mail. Other songs the researchers tested were chosen by surveying people about the music they found relaxing and included tracks from artists like Enya, Coldplay, Adele, and Mozart.

It's not entirely surprising that the song was found to be so relaxing — it was intentionally created for a spa with the help of therapeutic sound therapist and Founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, Lyz Cooper.

"The sound works from the point of view of sustained tones, which really help a person feel safe," she said.

The tempo starts at 60 beats per minute and gradually decreases to 50 beats per minute.

Another study by researchers from BMS College of Engineering in Bangalore, Malaysia , saw subjects report a dramatic reduction in feelings of stress and an increased sense of physical relaxation when they listened to music that played around 60 beats per minute. In classical music terms, you would refer this as "larghetto," which translates to not very fast or somewhat slowly.

"While listening, your heart rate gradually comes to match that beat," Cooper told The Daily Mail.

Marconi Union's ambient tune, which combines piano and guitars with atmospheric and synthetic sounds, is eight minutes long, Cooper says, because it takes about five minutes for your body to synchronize with a rhythm, a process known as entrainment.

The song was also designed not to have a repeating melody so that the brain does not try to predict what will come next, which is said to help induce a deeper sense of relaxation. It's apparently so effective that people are advised against listening to it while they drive.

Instead, Cooper says, "'Weightless' is ideal for putting on at the end of a stressful day and unwinding."
