Due Date Movie Review - The Due and (Un)Due

As Due Date comes to life on the screen you'd hear people laughing at Zach Galifianakis' antics and wonder just how many 16 year olds are there in the dark? And before you can even get to a figure in your mind the bearded overgrown teenager and his shenanigans will make you smirk and then laugh in a guarded way before you lose all control every now and then.
 
Due Date Story
 
Proud daddy to be Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) bumps into Ethan Tremblay (Zack Galifianakis) at the airport and his life changes forever. Overgrown teenager Tremblay is a wannabe actor who is on his way to 'Hollywood' to act in Two and a Half Men. Highman, who accidentally switches bags with Tremblay, gets into an argument with him and is immediately put on a "no-fly" list. A wallet and luggage less Highman is forced to undertake a road trip across America with Tremblay, who gets kicked out as he is Highman's "friend".
 
Once on the road things go from bad to worse for Highman as he comes to terms with Tremblay's pretty much nonexistent intelligence. The highly incompatible pairing of Galifianakis and Downey Jr. is what makes Due Date tick. While Galifianakis is funny, his Brando's Godfather imitation is hilarious, its Downey Jr. deadpan reaction that makes Galifianakis funnier. The chalk and cheese duo have excellent chemistry and the scenes where Downey Jr. unwillingly becomes the missing father figure- asking him whether he made a trip to the restroom- are really funny. Also the cameos by Juliette Lewis and Jamie Foxx keep things interesting.
 
For the fans of Hangover, Due Date is known turf and you go in prepared but for the first timers this Todd Phillips offering might come as a rude shock. The presence of Robert Downey Jr. might work as the safety net but be warned that there's a lot in the film that is almost discomforting. Downey Jr. gets beaten by a paraplegic war veteran, Galifianakis and his dog masturbate at the same time, Downey Jr. spits right in the face of the French bulldog and what have you. This isn't highbrow comedy for sure but for a better part it's utter nonsen** that is played out with conviction befitting any Shakespearian tragedy.
 
Final Words
 
Towing the fine line between humor and sheer uneasiness, Due Date is almost like a modern day version of the 1987 Steven Martin-John Candy classic Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Keeping the cast in mind both Galifianakis and Downey Jr. could have made Due Date much funnier than the buffoonery it ends up being. Like someone mentioned Due Date isn't Hangover but a pretty decent leftover. Whatever it might or might not be, the film is fun and surely worth a few laughs.

Producers Vs Beat Makers: Is There A Difference?

People often use the terms " beat maker" and "producer" interchangeably, however there are distinct differences between the two. To better understand these differences, one would have to first define what a beat maker is versus a producer.
Beat Maker
This individuals primary responsibility is the music composition of a song. They create the instrumentals and beats to set the tone for an artist's lyrics. Beat makers can produce a variety of beats ranging from pop & hip hop to rock and country. Experts in this area sometimes become composers.
Producer
A producer can make beats however it is not absolutely necessary. A producer's responsibility is to oversee the studio session to ensure that the completed, final production is executed properly.
A producer's duties may include the following:
Making the instrumentals or beats
Songwriting
Leading the recording session
Vocal Production
Vocal and Instrumental Arrangement
Audio Engineering
Mastering of the Final Session
A producer may or may not do all of the aforementioned tasks, but the end result or master recording of a song is deemed the producer's responsibility.
Executive Producer
A producer that oversees an entire album is called the executive producer. He/she is responsible for supervising many of the business aspects of putting an album together. This includes but is not limited to: making sure producer checks have cleared, ensuring split sheets are prepared, choosing the final songs on an artist's album, etc.
Based off of the definitions above, it is easy to see the differences between beat makers and producers. A beat maker's main responsibility is to compose the instrumentals and beats for a song while a producer is responsible for ensuring that all aspects of song creation are taken care of.
Determining Your Needs
A common mistake among upcoming recording artists, rappers, singers, and musicians is to request a producer when he/she may actually only need a beat maker. The opposite is true as well. An artist may say "I need beats" when actually he/she needs a producer. The simplest way for a recording artist to determine whether or not he/she needs a beat maker or producer is to identify his/her goals.
Questions an artist should ask are:
Am I working on an album?
or
Am I working on a mixtape?
What music services can I afford?
What do I plan to do with the music?
Asking these types of questions can be extremely helpful in determining an artist's recording needs.
Financing The Project
It is critical to know the difference between a beat maker and producer when it comes to financing an album or mixtape. Why? It could cost more to get music production services from a producer. This is because a producer can provide a wider range of services to the potential client. Recording artists should carefully consider their choices when it comes to their production budgets and financing their projects.
Concluding, knowing the difference between beat makers and producers is vital to a recording artist's career. Artists should understand that beat makers are responsible for solely providing the musical composition of a song while a producer may provide those services and more.

I Can Write Better Than That!

Remember that the recording artist took the best songs of the 20 previous years of writing to make his first album. His second album got what's left and what he's been writing on the road. While it might be mega-hit stuff, it also might be left-overs.
What is the song that made him or her famous? What song was so good that the song itself carried the guy or gal to stardom? That's the one you should be using as your example.
"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" was written by Jimmie Webb, but it put Glen Campbell in the spotlight. So Glen went back to Jimmie for "Wichita Lineman."
"But You Know I Love You" made Kenny Rogers a household name. When he started to lose audience, he came back with "The Gambler" and we were hooked for another decade. Those are good songs. "The Gambler" is so good, it breaks several "rules" of songwriting, but we don't care. It's good.
If the artist is collaborating or is using the material of other songwriters, the material that comes after his hit might be as good or better, so check to see if the songs he is singing are his own or of other writers. If other writers, there's a shot for you to get yours in there by sending them to the publisher; just make sure they are of the quality that the artist is used to. Any less will not make it to the studio.
It could be, however, that his breakthrough song was written by someone else and then his subsequent albums were full of his own songs. If he is not the songwriter he wishes he was, his own songs might just be less than you want to emulate. The rule applies: his second album might not be as good as the first.
So the next time you hear something on the radio that sounds like something you wrote, only yours was better, stop and think. Is that the breakthrough hit, or the follow-up song that gets airplay because it was by that artist? Is it his tired, old follow-up, or is it something written by another writer, all or in part?
The music business is littered with "one-hit-wonders," people who had one hit song and nothing else they recorded made it to the charts. That's not to say that they didn't record their later work, it's just that it didn't come up to that first, great hit.
It's probably best not to compare your song to anyone or anything at all, but if you must, take the best and compare it to that. If you aren't as good as the breakout hit, you have work to do.

Guitar Maintenance Tips - Temperature And Humidity Control

Taking care of your guitar is not hard, but you can ruin your beautiful precious instrument in a matter of weeks if you don't follow few simple rules when caring for it.
The best way you can prolong your guitar's life is temperature and humidity control. High humidity causes the wood to swell and distort, add some heat, and you've got loosen glue joints, not good. Low humidity causes your guitar to shrink resulting in cracking and seam separation. Heat expands wood and cold contracts it. Temperature changes can also cause something called crazing or temperature checking, that's when guitar's finish develops tiny cracks resembling the cracks of an old painting. This happens often when you bring in guitar from cold into heated places. Usually this dust makes your guitar look bad, but in extreme cases it can leave the wood vulnerable. When you bring in your guitar from cold into heated room, try leaving it in a case for a while to let it warm up gradually.
Winter and summer are the harshest on the guitar. In winter the arid climate of a heated house is especially harsh. It's good to invest into a humidifier, and keep your guitar in the same room, since most humidifiers don't work outside the room they're in. Or get a whole-house humidifier. During summer many guitars get damaged being left in the back of the super hot truck. The heat causes the glue to loosen up, so avoid leaving your guitar in direct sun or anywhere with extreme heat.
Unless you want your guitar to resemble the sand dunes, avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes. Always keep your guitar from radiators, hot air ducts, freezing drafts, attics, garages, and so on. My friends guitars got ruined because his parents decided to store them in the attic while he was away, he had five. All of them got warped and now they are all useless. I felt very sad for him, because I know he at least paid a grand for each one of those guitars and he is not what you would call a rich person.
One of the best ways to survive the climate change is to buy a good guitar. Guitars made with aged, properly finished, air-dried, quartersawed wood are the best. Guitars made of cheap plywood are the worst. Usually American made guitars are of the best quality, they are made in the climate-control factories, unlike some cheapies made in Taiwan.
