| | TUBA FAQS |
| | In fact, because it is the lowest brass instrument and can produce sounds that are virtually impossible to imitate on the other brass, the tuba can often be heard in movie scores playing very low notes as special effects. | | | Tubas are the important foundation instruments of the concert band. | | | They play bass lines (usually oom-pah-oom-pah lines), blend with other instruments and play solos. |

| | Punknews.org Motion City Soundtrack - I Am The Movie [reissue] |
| | Although the keyboard is an important instrument throughout the album it is not the driving force...its slick integration with the drums, bass,and guitar as well as strong vocals gives the album that "special" touch. | | | If you love the sound of a well oiled moog machine then "I am the Movie" is one of those cds that will retain a perminant position in your cd changer. | | | The Spiffy cover is really fun to stare at when bored (not that I know), and the overall clean up of all the songs that were on the previous album just rock. |

| | Cuba Junky - Buena Vista Social Club |
| | One of the many unforgettable musical moments on The Buena Vista Social Club album is “Barbarito” Torres’ laúd solo on “El Cuarto de Tula.” The laúd is a 12-string instrument of the lute family, emitting, especially on its high register, a piercing, metallic tone that is perfect for fast, single-note improvising. | | | The perfect companion for fans of the CD and the movie, this magnificently produced volume also stands alone as a visual treat for anyone with a fascination for Cuba and its incredible, enchanting music. | | | The son and bolero master vocalist had a fabled entrance into this world: he was born in Santiago in 1927 at a social club dance. |

| | More Sinned Against than Sinning: The Fabrications of "Pre-Code Cinema" |
| | The Code's other principle permitted producers to deny responsibility for a movie's content, through a particular kind of ambiguity, a textual indeterminacy that shifted the responsibility for determining what the movie's content was away from the producer to the individual spectator. | | | In complete contradiction to the mythology of the Code not functioning during the early 1930s, its records reveal that this period actually saw by far the most interesting negotiations between the studios and the Code administrators over the nature of movie content, as the Code was implemented with increasing efficiency and strictness after 1930. | | | Sklar's account of the Golden Age of Turbulence relied on an analysis of about 25 movies, or approximately one percent of Hollywood's total output of feature pictures between 1930 and 1934. |
