The Big Change In Müslüm Gürses' Style

As we know, Muslum Gurses died on 3^rd March 2013. It was a big lost for Turkish Music. Nowadays we can watch his clips and listen his popular songs on televisions because of the anniversary of his death.
I want to mention the changes in his music style. As we know, he was a arabesque musician. His song involves some feelings which are loneliness, despair, and love. He and his songs was the voice of the rural sides and ghettos. Also he was symbol of the illegal life. His records were illegal and pirate. In concerts he and his fans used drugs. Moreover his fans injured themselves by blades. However in 1999 he wanted to change. He terminated the contract with Elanor Music which had been working with Muslum Gurses for 15 years. He had been trying to be legalise himself in Turkish Music. He changed his music style, he avoided to sing arabesk. He worked with famous artists such as Murathan Mungan, Bülent Ortaçgil, and Teoman. According to many commentators, he was the Leonard Cohen of Turkey. There are some photos about this change.

                                       

                                       
     

                                                                     

"Asıklar Kıraathanesi"

Famous cafe,Aşıklar Kıraathanesi, reopened in Kars after 9 years. Aşıklar Kıraathanesi was established by Murat Cobanoglu which was famous singer in Anatollian. This cafe tried to resume  Anatolian music style which is called “Aşıklık Gelenegi” in Turkisch. Unfortunately Murat Cobanoglu died in 2005. After his dead, Aşıklar Kıraathanesi could not continue their purpose. Therefore it was closed in 2005.


However last week, Aşıklar Kıraathanesi opened again by Murat Cobanoglu’s students. Now on people can visit this cafe and listen our traditional music.

I assume that most people didn’t know Murat Cobanoglu and his cafe. Therefore I posted some videos about them. I recommend you to watch it.

Flappy Bird

I found a new game, and it is hard. Its name is Flappy Bird. I recommend it, but I am warning you, it is a annoying game.

Their three main ideas

Copying of information is ethically right;
Dissemination of information is ethically right;
Copymixing is a sacred kind of copying, more so than the perfect, digital copying, because it expands and enhances the existing wealth of information
