Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

A museum in Michigan which is dedicated to displaying a variety of animatronics and other coin-operated machines. It was originally owned by the late Marvin Yagoda, until he died just after New Year's of 2017, when ownership was transferred to his son, Jeremy Yagoda. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum was forced to shut down temporarily, until Michigan reaches Phase 5 of containment, and was faced with financial trouble due to maintenance on the machines, but thanks to a GoFundMe, they were able to remain afloat. Though Marvin died in 2017, he is attributed with the quotations "Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?", and "Don’t use time or words carelessly; neither can be retrieved".

Furthermore, the "fabloo" band known as "Tally Hall" created an album named after Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, and Marvin himself appeared in an episode of the Tally Hall internet show

House Music

House music, (named "House Music" after The Warehouse club in Chicago where it originated in the early 1980's,) is a style of electronic dance music that was developed by dance club DJs in Chicago that were influenced by early to mid-1970s dance music as spun by DJs in New York, and spread to Detroit, New York, and eventually Europe. House music is strongly influenced by elements of the early to mid 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music style of disco. House music takes disco's use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and developed a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb- or delay-enhanced vocals.

The common element of house music is a prominent kick drum on every beat (also known as a four-to-the-floor beat), usually generated by a drum machine or sampler. The kick drum sound is augmented by various kick fills and extended dropouts. The drum track is filled out with hihat cymbal patterns on the eighth-note offbeats, and a snare drum or clap sound on beats two and four of every bar. This pattern is derived from so-called "four-on-the-floor" dance drumbeats of the 1960s and especially the 1970s disco drummers.

Producers commonly layer sampled drum sounds to achieve a more complex sound, filling out the audio spectrum and tailoring the mix for large club sound systems. House music is uptempo music for dancing and has a tempo range of between 118 and 135 bpm. Producers use many different sound sources for bass sounds in house music, from continuous, repeating electronically-generated lines sequenced on a synthesizer such as a Roland TB-303 to studio recordings or samples of live electric bassists, or simply filtered-down samples from whole stereo recordings (from classic funk tracks or any other song).

Electronically-generated sounds and samples of recordings from genres such as jazz, blues and synth pop are often added to the foundation of the drum beat and synth bass line. House songs may also include disco or soul-style and gospel vocals and additional percussion. Techno and trance, which developed alongside house music, share this basic beat infrastructure, but they usually eschew house's live-music-influenced feel and Black or Latin music influences in favor of more synthetic sound sources and approach.

Music.ly

A social media that let's you lip sync any song you want, and you post it. That's it. It's a social media for lip syncing.

The people that seem to get their hands on this app the most are young white teenagers who think they are cool when in reality, they aren't. There are actually a few lucky young white teenagers get rich and famous of of lip syncing for some reason, and when they actually have to do something with their fame (like making a music video) they find out quick that they actually have no talent.

,.
To be honest, it doesn't really matter if your famous or not on Music.ly, because every single Music.ly out there makes me want to kill myself.
