The reality of depression and suicide has inspired artists to take part in the PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR, a music tour committed to reducing the stigma associated with mental health as well as making the access to help and hope for all safe and without fear.

Houston-based art rockers Blue October will headline the inaugural PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR–where impassioned artists join together to raise awareness and funds for depression and suicide prevention–and Atlanta-based hip-hop artist and producer B.o.B will open on the trek.

The PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR marks the first-ever tour solely benefiting suicide prevention in history. The month-long trek will launch Thursday, October 22nd at the Music Farm in Charleston, SC and wrap up with a two-night stand at Stubbs in Austin, TX November 20 and 21. See the full PUTP tour itinerary below; tickets are on sale now. To purchase, visit: http://www.putp.org and http://www.blueoctoberfan.com/pickupthephone/.

The PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR will launch with a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC Wednesday, October 21 at 10:00 AM. Justin Furstenfeld, the lead singer of Blue October, will be on hand to speak and perform an acoustic set before members of Congress as well as supporters of the tour partners 1-800 SUICIDE, PostSecret and TWLOHA.

Justin–who has struggled with bi-polar disorder most of his life–will be calling on Congress to fund both creative writing and art therapy programs as alternative options for mental health. The press conference will also urge Congress to fully fund the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act which provides the funding behind the majority of the suicide prevention programs in the United States today. The press conference is open to all on a first-come first-served basis, to RSVP, email TWLOHA: PUTP@TWLOHA.com.

The PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR is created through a partnership between the non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), the largest charity on MySpace and Facebook: Postsecret.com; Synclive.com; and 1-800 SUICIDE The National Hopeline Network.

Through 1-800 SUICIDE–which provides a life-saving service that is private and confidential for people in need–callers are routed directly to the closest crisis center in their immediate area so that quick referrals to behavioral health services and other supports can be offered. Since 1998, 1-800-SUICIDE has received over 3.6 million calls and rescued more than 4,000 individuals who had already initiated suicide plans.

The spokesperson for the PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR 2009, Justin Furstenfeld personally understands the struggles those who are affected by mental health issues face on a daily basis. “It has taken 20 years to have the chance to do a tour focusing on mental health issues which have been a daily battle for me for most of my life,” explains Justin.

“It’s great to finally be a part of a positive, progressive-thinking tour for an important cause which will make a direct impact and help people in desperate situations that need it the most.” In a strange turn of events in his own life, Justin worked at a mental hospital one day and, after suffering a breakdown, became a patient in a hospital the next.

Justin–who has taken medication for the condition since he was a teenager–now teaches creative writing at a mental hospital to young adults affected by mental health issues, self-abuse issues and sexual abuse. Through personal experiences and music, Justin challenges young minds to channel their emotions and anger into creative writing and art versus taking their frustrations out on themselves or the world around them.

He performs his art around the world, sending a message of hope to thousands who know and trust his message because he fights the same battles they fight every day. Justin is living proof that if you reach out and allow yourself to be helped you can lead a beautiful life filled with love, family and career.

“In moments of bravery and confusion and honesty, people turn to 1-800-SUICIDE–over three million of them,” points out Jamie Tworkowski, founder of To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA).

“The folks at the Hopeline Centers have been answering those calls for ten years, picking up the phone when it’s mattered most. Now to help those who will not pick up the phone, together with 1-800-SUICIDE we are launching the first 24×7 online emotional support network called AliveIM!, which will soon be available at www.suicide.net.”

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA)–a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide–exists to encourage, inform and inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

Since 2006, TWLOHA has responded to over 100,000 messages from people in over 40 different countries and have invested over half a million dollars directly into treatment and recovery, including $50,000 to help fund the AliveIM! support network.

In another innovative move, the tour has partnered with Synclive.com to air live performances from the artists via the Internet as well as provide an immediate online confidential connection for fans in need. Synclive.com will create an essential connection for concertgoers in crisis who are unable to approach a booth at the show in-person either for direct help or to volunteer for the online counseling program.

Formed in Houston in 1995, the rock five–piece Blue October have released five studio albums and sold over 2 million albums. The group released their fifth studio album Approaching Normal (Universal Motown), the follow-up to their 1.3 million-selling Foiled album; it spawned the hit “Hate Me,” which reached #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, followed by “Into the Ocean,” a # 1 video on VH1 about a the metaphorical contemplation of suicide itself.

Approaching Normal debuted at # 13 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart in March 2009 and produced two top singles: “Dirt Room,” which rocketed to #6 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart marking the group’s third Top Ten singl, and “Say It.”

Hudson (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Matt Noveskey (bass guitar, backing vocals). Due to their hard-won and loyal fanbase, the group now tours all over the world.

About To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA):

In 2006, Jamie Tworkowski wrote a story, a glimpse into a friend’s life and her first steps to recovery from drug addiction, self-injury, and depression. The story, titled To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), and t-shirts Tworkowski printed to help pay for his friend’s recovery, started a movement, not only within his local Orlando, FL community, but one that was swiftly embraced by people everywhere.

Realizing a strong need to bring these mental health issues to light, Jamie created TWLOHA–a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide–and enlisted bands such as Paramore, Thrice, Anberlin, Switchfoot, Bayside, The Almost to spread TWLOHA’s message.

Jamie and TWLOHA joined national and international touring bands spreading their message of hope before bands took the stage each night. In August 2007, MySpace awarded TWLOHA the winner of their “Impact Award” for “Community Building,” TWLOHA garnered the most votes in the history of the Impact Awards.

To Write Love on Her Arms began with one broken girl, one painful night; addiction, depression, self-injury. It is the realization of what life can be when people commit to meeting a need. “A friend of mine told me there is no such thing as suicide prevention. This is an attempt to prove him wrong, to say that love can change a life. We can hold back the darkness. Rescue is possible,” says Tworkowski. www.twloha.com

Springsteen concert tickets
are often regarded as the ultimate in the American live music experience. Not only has Springsteen made a mark with his iconic albums, he has also immortalized himself as a musician who creates the ultimate in live shows. His marathon sets are known right across the world and fans are even known to line up outside his practice venues, to catch scraps of upcoming show numbers.

The Born in the USA Tour

Springsteen concert tickets were almost impossible to get during Springsteen’s most famous tour which was done to support the release of the album Born in the USA. Prior to this, Springsteen concerts had always been a big draw but the Boss himself always came across as a shabbily dressed, skinny songster. The Born in the USA tour saw a muscular Springsteen in a white t-shirt. Today, the image of a red cap hanging out of the back pocket of a pair of old jeans has become almost symbolic of Springsteen himself.

The tour lasted about a year and Springsteen played before sold out crowds right across the country. He started out the concerts with a bang, playing his song Born in the USA. This would be misinterpreted as heightened patriotism when it was really about the plight of war veterans who had returned from Vietnam. The tour is often cited as one of the biggest events in the history of rock and roll.

All By Myself

Springsteen has always experimented with new styles and this is just what he did with his Devils & Dust tour. While the E Street Band was Springsteen’s usual band, on this tour he was on stage solo, playing a number of different instruments. For fans who had bought Springsteen concert tickets for these shows, it was a whole new Springsteen experience. Being an acoustic concert, Springsteen would request the audience to be quiet beforehand and even jokingly remind everyone to keep their cell phones off.

The tour was a challenge to both Springsteen and his fans. Springsteen is not known for his piano playing skills but he played anyway and in a number of places, mistakes are clearly heard. However, this simply heightened the experience for most fans. Rather than an energetic and crowded stage, they saw Springsteen as a solitary figure on a darkened stage and reviews marveled at the sparse yet intense magic that his music conveyed.

Springsteen would surprise fans yet again when he seemed to go all out into the folk genre with his Seeger Sessions Band Tour. This particular tour was incredibly popular in Europe, with these Springsteen concert tickets selling out in a matter of minutes at Amsterdam, London and Manchester. The tour was commercially less successful in America but critics praised Springsteen for his innovative approach towards the folk genre and for injecting his own brand of unique musicality into all of his performances. For any music lover who would love to see a real live music show that relies on the music and nothing else, Springsteen is the way to go. You can beat the lines at the ticket counters by ordering your Springsteen concert tickets online though an authorized ticket vendor.

The Coldplay concert tickets have been a sold-out item right from the time the band started producing some of the hottest music ever. Formed less than a decade ago, the Coldplay band has emerged from an unknown band to one of the most successful bands of all times. This Grammy-award winning group has also recorded worldwide album sales of more than 40 million and has performed in various hot concerts worldwide.

If you too are in search for some Coldplay concert tickets for the ongoing tour of the band, then do read on to know some simple ways that can help you find the kind of seats you are looking for. But before we move on to the tickets, let me tell you some stuff about the band and its members.

Coldplay And Its Members

The awesome foursome met for the first time in 1996 in the University of London. Unknown to each other then, they soon moved on to form their own band by the name of The Coldplay. Members of the band are Chris Martin being in charge of the vocals, guitar and the piano, Guy Berryman playing the bass, Jonny Buckland being the lead guitarist and Will Champion playing the drums.

Coldplay’s first two albums; Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head helped the band establish themselves as one of the hottest bands of all times. Their third album X$ Y, which released in 2005, was the most successful composition by the band ever. It, in fact, hit the number one position both in the US and the UK for weeks altogether. Today with their fourth studio album released and their ongoing tour performing live, finding some coldplay concert tickets is surely a tricky job.

Searching For Some Concert Tickets!

If you too are in search for some concert tickets, then read on to know the various ways through which you can find some good seats. Do give all these methods a try even if they are iffy:

The first place that you must visit for the tickets is at the box office venue itself. The probability of finding tickets here is dicey as they sell out soon after the show is announced. So if you are able to keep a track of the concert announcements and live near the venue, only then give it a try.
Try the eBay sales if the trick above does not help. Even here, make sure that you receive only those Coldplay concert tickets that are being promised to you.
If both of these are not able to help you out, then visit the venue on the day of the show itself. There are last minute cancellations and you could be the lucky one to buy those.
If none of the above help, then book via an online broker. This, in fact, is the only sure-shot way for getting some great tickets.

Ensure that you deal with a reputed ticket broker
who belongs to a professional ticketing agency. Also check for his credentials and make sure that he is a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers.

Getting to watch your favorite band perform live is something that you have been waiting for quite some time. You definitely wouldn’t want to miss getting some Coldplay concert tickets for anything in the world. Isn’t it?

Enjoy Music Under The Sun Shine-Let’s imagine what kind of gadgets enable you to enjoy music everywhere you go, with which you would like to take the warm sunshine afternoon while not getting burned eyes, or a fashion accessory that you can tout in front of all your friends? MP3 sunglasses is the one.

A typical mp3 sunglasses is in a distinctive form of half-frame with relatively sturdy and long arms. With middle-sized lens and ear piece neatly hanged at the end of each arm, it is suitable and fashionable for people of all ages. Isn’t it cool to wear a pair while sitting by a swimming poor and listening to all your favorite music?

Like most sunglasses, it protects your eyes from the hurt of UV rays. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are located just past the violet portion of the visible light spectrum; sunlight is the main source. UV rays are dangerous, making sunglasses and sunscreen a must; they don’t go through glass. With so many lens colors available in the marketplace, buyer must get himself carefully informed before choosing one to suit his needs and conditions best. Gray lens tints reduce brightness, but do not distort color. Brown and amber tints reduce glare, including the glare created by the blue frequency in sunlight, which can make things appear hazy. Brown and amber tints distort colors more than gray tints do. Yellow lens tints reduce the haze from blue light better than browns, so they really sharpen up the view, but they cause more color distortion. Green tinted lenses reduce glare and help filter out some of the blue light. They provide good contrast between objects. Rose colored lenses might be a good choice if you participate in water sports or other outdoor activities, because they provide good contrast for objects viewed against blue or green backgrounds.

As mp3 player, mp3 sunglasses is quite portable and innovative. Not every one like carrying an ipod all around, but I think there are a lot of people willing to wear glasses all the time. Not just because it is cool, it is the convenience of music access. Whenever you want some music, there is only one button away. It is amazing that it plays music well, if not excellent, with all the necessary components narrowly packed in the glasses arms. It supports mp3,wav,wma and other music formats depending on manufacturer differences. One can choose any formats as the main format or use all of them. With the interior memory of 2GB or around , that means hundreds of music, it is not very satisfying to those music enthusiasts. And the whole play back time is merely several hours.

Good to know that it has FM radio tuner. If you are tired of listening music, you can switch to the radio programs on the air. The latest mp3 sunglasses also equips Bluetooth, which enhance the portability and music sound. That means you can play music from your cell and stream them to the glasses.

As a combination of music player and fashion accessory, mp3 sunglasses will definitely become the next hottest seek-after in the digital market.

Music Without Goals-I really love improvisations that go nowhere. Improvisations where there is no goal… just an impulse to follow feelings in the current moment.

In fact, some have described this kind of music as self-indulgent – a kind of musical fantasy world where the focus is more on the performer than the listener.

Of course, this isn’t the case at all. You see, most of us are used to having our music wrapped up in nice neat little packages. We aren’t used to actually listening to music. We expect an “emotional experience” right away. And it better happen in 3-4 minutes or else.

Take Japanese Shakahuachi music for example. For those of you who don’t know, the shakahuachi is a Japanese flute. It’s beautiful sound is appreciated by many in the East.

I have a few CDs of this music and everytime I listen to them I hear something new. It’s as if each time the CD is played I hear it for the first time. It never gets old. Why? Because of the absence of musical form!

There is not much for the mind to grasp or hold onto. Repetition of musical phrases is almost non existent. Instead, we get music without goals!

If there is a goal at all, it’s that the person performing the music remains in the present while playing. What we hear is the “state of mind” of the performer at the exact time the recording is made.

In one of my own piano pieces “Cirrus,” (listen to it at http://www.quiescencemusic.com) I do the same thing. And everytime I listen to it, it seems that it’s somehow changed. Yet the music always remains fresh and pliant – waiting to be discovered again and again.

Having said all of this, I have nothing against musical form and the works that come from it. I just think the “other” kind of music is just as valid and important.

Music for Teens: Review on Positive and Negative Impacts-Music is the “Universal Language” – everyone, everywhere can relate to the message of music. Music with lyrics can clearly stress its message. Music without lyrics or what we called as “Instrumental” can still
relay message to us by making our imagination awake and recalling some events in our lives, experiences and moments. Some people listen to music to relieve stress.Doctors and Therapists use music as therapy to treat patients with anxiety, illnesses and even to change one person’s behaviour. Music
can affect our emotions.

Two impacts of music to minds:

The positive impact of music to mind is to unwind our minds, most of the times that we listen to good lyrics, it also dominates our actions. Such as listening to love music, it makes us act out the kissing words, or inspires us to make love smoothly, loving our parents, loving God, loving friends and etc. Good music can make immature, mature and violent minds switch to peaceful reaction.

The negative impact of music to mind is so affective and said to be so great that constantly repeats violent words and phrases etches those ideas in the mind. This causes the listener to react or act out on what he
has heard, especially to immature minds that listen to it. Due to this, it is recommended to the adults, parents or guardian to closely monitor their kids / teens in choosing their favorite types of music because it brings out violent or negative messages. This can influence your teen’s behaviour greatly, including the way he thinks, talks, choose friends, and even the clothes he chooses to wear.
