School's Out For Christmas - Teachers Edition

School’s Out for Christmas – Teacher Edition

[Verse 1]
No alarm clocks
No more rules
Fog is falling
We’re breaking school rules
Bass boats turned into water sleds
Candy canes dancing in our heads

[Chorus]
Jingle bells are ringing
Freedom’s in the air
Pajamas all day
We just don’t care
Cookies in the oven
Lights on the tree
School’s out for Christmas
Just you and me

Women Who Cheat

Women Who Cheat

Another music video from R. Michael Brown, writer | producer.

He gave her roses in the morning light
She crushed the petals
Out of sight
A thousand promises
He kept them all
But she built her kingdom on a house too small

She loves the lie
The thrill of the game
Stealing hearts
Leaving blame
He’s the sun
She’s the shadow at noon
Dancing under someone else’s moon

He carved her name in the oak out back
She carved his trust with a cold attack
His arms were steady
His heart was true
But she wore deceit like a brand-new shoe

A whisper here
A secret there
She walks on fire
She doesn’t care

She loves the lie
The thrill of the game
Stealing hearts
Leaving blame
He’s the sun
She’s the shadow at noon
Dancing under someone else’s moon

She sees his tears but they don’t sting
She wears betrayal like a diamond ring
His love was the ocean
Wide and deep
But she swam away
Secrets to keep…

Oliver Anthony Reveals How Much Money He Made on His First “Rich Men North of Richmond”

Oliver Anthony

Two years ago, an unknown artist named Oliver Anthony topped the Billboard Hot 100 with the viral country-folk tune “Rich Men North of Richmond.”

Whether you loved or hated it, the song was impossible to escape: I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay.

The polarizing working-class anthem made Anthony (born Christopher Lunsford) the first artist to hit No. 1 with no prior chart history.

Since then, the 32-year-old Virginian released his debut album, Hymnal of a Troubled Man’s Mind, and then promptly quit the music industry—but apparently not before raking in some serious cash.

Brownie Bytes: He even booked his first ever live performance, 2 months before launching his hit, and was paid $200 to play for 2.5 hours at a farmers market. His hit went viral and 12,000+ showed up at that first live performance.

Vinyl Overtakes CD Sales for the First Time Since 1987

No longer just a niche hobby for dads and hipsters, vinyl is experiencing a major resurgence in mainstream music. According to the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) annual revenue report, vinyl records outsold CDs in the US last year for the first time since 1987, selling 41 million units against 33 million for CD.

Vinyl record sales have consistently increased over the last 16 years according to the RIAA report published on Thursday, now accounting for 71 percent of all physical music format revenue. The growth margins here aren’t trivial, either — while physical formats as a whole increased by 4 percent, earning $1.7 billion between 2021 and 2022, vinyl sales alone accounted for $1.2 billion, experiencing a 17 percent increase in sales compared to the previous year. Comparatively, CD sales plummeted by 18 percent in 2022.

Brownie Bytes asks why? Why do you think this music format is making a comeback? Doesn’t the digital version sound better?

Tune Your Guitar in Seconds

Brownie Bytes thinks this is cool!

Roadie 3 is our new flagship automatic instrument #tuner. It helps you find your sound fast with quicker rotation and enhanced accuracy to keep your tunings consistently dead-on.

Roadie 3 is built with carefully tooled and proprietary audio algorithms. Its next-generation vibration detection delivers improved tuning accuracy and enhanced noise immunity.

Roadie 3 can tune almost all instruments with geared pegs in just seconds. Like what you ask?

How about electric #guitars, acoustic guitars, classical guitars with nylon strings, pedal steel guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, banjos, to name a few.

How It Works

When placed on the tuning peg, Roadie 3 will listen to the vibrations of your guitar string, analyze its #pitch, and automatically turn the peg to get your string into perfect #tune.
