How To Lose Weight and Exercise Your Way To Perfect Health!

By Kenny Love

Methods

There are two independent processes to losing weight, yet, both can work in tangent. They are reducing your daily consumed calories and increasing your exercise routine. However, again, for maximum benefit, they should be used in combination.

Calorie Intake

Without saying, one of the important elements in successfully reducing calories is psychology. Through your mind, you need to prepare your body for a reduction in food intake, particularly, if you are accustomed to eating irregularly and/or eating throughout a 24-hour period.

Next, you need to understand that cutting out certain foods that you may be used to eating is very important in losing weight. Sweets, such as candies, pastries, etc. should be dramatically reduced at the least, if not eliminated from your diet entirely. Breads and certain starches should also be reduced as well. Instead, replace these particular food items with more fruits and vegetables.

Also, it should be noted that most of us are satisfied long before we have taken the last bite on our plates. Much of the excess weight is acquired from our continuous eating after we are sated. Try this test of eating only until your hunger is sated. Then, put your food up for later. You are very likely to find that not only will you become accustomed to eating less at meals, but your stomach will begin to reduce quickly as well.

Fat-Burning

Now, to burn fat, don’t begin a strenuous exercise routine of 100 sit-ups per day because your body isn’t used to this level of stress. While it may get through the first day or so of such a shocking stress level, almost always, you will find yourself sore in the coming days and, possibly, unable to continue. Alternatively, begin with a very small amount of exercise reps so that your body can build up and get used to stress in safer and smaller amounts. This option will go a long way in ensuring that you will maintain a consistent exercise routine.

Putting Them Both Together

Now, put both of these aspects together and watch major success in your ability to lose weight as well as your increase in overall and specific health issues that you may have had in the past. Also, this vital combination will build up your immune system and help significantly in warding off colds, flu, pneumonia, and other illnesses.

Oh, How I Love Sax!

kennylove — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:17:56 +0000

“Oh, How I Love Sax!”

By Kenny Love

As a dedicated, devoted, and lifelong musician and recording

artist, if you understand nothing else about me, understand this…

Even though I play bass, piano, and trumpet, I still love sax.

I love sax! Previously in denial, I can now admit that, whether

healthy or unhealthy, I have a sax addiction, which means it is

more than a passing fancy or fetish simplex. In fact, I find it

imperative to have sax, practically, every day.

As a musician and/or recording artist, no matter which of the

musical instrument(s) a musician likes most and/or plays best,

there simply comes a time when you just can’t go on any longer

without it, and you must find some good sax to relax.

As a teenager with raging hormones, I was once surprisingly

discovered by a group of religious fanatics as I was reading a

book on sax that also included graphic pictures of sax.

I was accosted by the fanatics, then taken away to a room

where they began performing what I now believe was an

exorcism on me.

At the time, I was also a Baptist, and since our church never

experienced anything similar, I was clueless when they started

chanting incoherently in monotone while sprinkling what

appeared to be water from small vials.

Managing to break free, I ran away while yelling at the

top of my lungs…

“I do not need, nor desire, to be saved from what you call a

‘rooting out’!.”

Now, my wife? She doesn’t like sax nearly as much as I do.

And, it seems to me, that she can go months without having

sax at all.

I really don’t know how she does it. In fact, I don’t ever want

to know how she does it, because what she has that allows her

to do so may just be contagious.

When I remotely think about it, it would seem awfully frustrating

to go without sax for extended periods of time.

And, admittedly, being that my wife doesn’t like sax as much

as I do, unfortunately, I have recently found it necessary to

become an adulterer as a result.

Whenever my wife and I can’t have sax, yet, I feel a strong

urge to have sax, I find myself cruising Jazz nightclubs trying to

pick up some sax for the evening.

Now, any sax can be found at practically any time, on street

corners, etc., and for a nominal charge or donation. But to find

really great sax is the pinnacle of enjoyment for the evening,

and is well worth your continued search.

Now, here’s some advice for musicians who choose to play

around carelessly, over indulging even (and dangerously I might

add) with sax more so than others while not taking the proper

healthy and safety precautions…

To forego developing any unusual symptoms that may prove to

be unhealthy or harmful in the future, such as a permanently

deformed, dislocated, or inoperable embouchure, be strongly

advised that you must, at all costs, watch not only whom you

engage in sax with, but you must also watch how and where

you engage in sax.

Note: A six-month health checkup is strongly advised as well.

One of the places where you really don’t want to ever get

caught having sax is in the city park, as it can be a very

embarrassing situation, depending on who you are. It can also

be very embarrassing for your family as well.

Because, when spectators discover you having sax, they won’t

want you to stop. As many of them are already voyeurs

anyway, they will ask, no, demand that you keep blowing and

tooting your horn. This type of public discovery can, possibly,

lead to your making the front cover of the local newspaper.

I, personally, know of a case where the police arrested a

couple for having sax in a city park and they were formally

charged with indecent exposure. So, forget about having sax

in city parks and other such public locations where passersby

congregate en masse.

What about you? Do you like sax? I mean, if you have not,

yet, had, at least, some sax, you really don’t know what you

are missing.

Because, sax is very good. Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t.

When you experience great sax, you can tell because at the

end of having great sax, your mouth should be dry and you

should be out of breath, but extremely satisfied. And, your

toes may even curl up when certain notes are blown during

the act.

When musicians have sax, very often, during a point in the

performance, their eyes will even roll back in their heads or

they will clinch their eyes tightly.

Sax has now become such a conscientious element of our

society, that the medical industry has now created a degreed

college course of study titled, “Saxology.” Webster Dictionary

defines the term as “the formal study and resulting practice of

sax, generally, with a focus on its cause, addiction, and

subsequent treatment.”

A physician who practices “Saxology” is referred to as a

“saxologist.”

While the medical profession, overall, has a great outlook, I

personally do not see this career as a promising future vocation,

particularly, as many people who are addicted to sax will not

readily come forward and seek medical treatment for the

condition on their own.

So, for what it is worth, I would not personally advise any

graduating high school students to consider this field as a

viable college major.

Also, as you can readily see, when one is addicted to sax, one

must always be aware and take incredible precautions in the

interest of offsetting any would be life-threatening situations.

Musicians With Questions…

Musicians With Questions…

Music Industry Q&A with Kenny Love (04-30-08)

“Kenny, what is your overall take on the state of the Music industry and, particularly, major

labels and retail distributors?”

T. Jacobs

=====

KL: T, here’s my take on the state of the Music industry…

I was saying to a couple of new clients just this morning on how there has never been a better time to be an independent musician, with the incredible power and decisional control that artists have today.

Alternatively, it was only a few short years ago that the reverse was true, with many artists leaving the Music industry as a result of undue pressure from within it as well as what seemed like a ceiling on their level of success.

The only question remaining now, and a very important one, is if most (if not all) artists will learn to both harness and execute the power that they have now been granted through technology.

As for major labels, I truly wish that I could invoke the standard response and say that they started out way back in the day with good intentions, then went bad.

However, knowing what I know about their history and how, even as they were fledgling as small independents before becoming major label giants back in the 1950s and 1960s by using their recording artists as musical “slaves,” alas, I can defend very little (if any) of their mechanics and operations.

And, their ongoing theft of artists’ royalties shrouded long and well in their idea of “recoupment,” while simultaneously insulting the intelligence of music buyers through their price-gouged recorded product for years (anyone remember the $25 10-song CD?) as well as their presenting lukewarm and lackluster projects, simply adds more proverbial kerosene to the proverbial fire.

And, much of the same applies to distributors. At one point, and for quite some time at that point, it was easier for an independent musician to fly a small-engine aircraft successfully to Mars (and back) on a single tank of fuel solo than to get a distribution deal.

________________________________________

[---SIDEBAR---]

For anyone wishing to argue the above point, please allow me to graciously inform you that Mars is approximately 35 million miles from Earth, and a small engine aircraft, such as the Cessna Citation X, only holds 1400 pounds of fuel, with a top speed of 703 miles per hour.

Now, when one takes the time (I, obviously, have too much time on my hands) to divide the 35 million mile distance by 703 miles per hour, the answer equates to the trip taking just about 49786.6 hours, which translates to 2074.4 days, ultimately, translating to a total of 5.6 years to reach Mars.

In the interest of getting the most out of the plane’s single tank of fuel, is why I have chosen to delay my own trip to Mars until summer, and I strongly suggest your doing the same.

________________________________________

[---MAIN TOPIC---]

And, for those few Indie artists unfortunate enough to get a distribution deal on their own, meant waiting for months, and almost a year in some instances, in order to receive any profits from distributors for sales of their recordings.

And, even when distributors would pay Indie artists, they would, almost always, hold a certain amount of royalty payments in “reserve” with the excuse being (and, perhaps, valid in some instances) for any anticipated retail returns.

And, in most cases today, I believe that distributors may even be in far deeper trouble financially than major labels.

So, have the chickens now come home to roost for the major labels and the distributors?

Well, not only have their chickens come home to roost, but they have now been sound asleep for several hours. And, to that end, not even their rooster shall crow again at dawn.

________________________________________

“Mr. Love:

Nightclubs have gotten out of control, with their pay-to-play situations that began out in LA a few years ago.

Now, as you have mentioned in your letter, a couple of new bad things are happening and, mainly, that some clubs are now forcing musicians to either sell tickets or bring in a certain number of people to clubs that they are trying to work a show with. How can bands overcome this?”

Tina Hobbs, Manager

=====

KL: Ms. Hobbs:

Ironically, I have recently changed my letter that I send to prospective promotion and publicity clients to reflect and address this at the onset in an attempt to “even the odds” for musicians caught in these vile situations that you mention.

In addition, I might suggest something that I am almost certain will never take place. And, should it, indeed transpire, please have a team of emergency medical technicians on hand and standing by to briskly transport me to the nearest medical facility as a heart attack victim.

And, that “something” is for bands in locations where this is occurring to get together and boycott such clubs. This will, almost assuredly, work well if the club hosts a respectable amount of (or mostly) independent local “live” music.

The first step would be to get bands together, address the problem(s), with all agreeing to implement this (hopeful) solution.

The second step would be for representatives from each band approaching such club owners or its management, and presenting and discussing this problem and solution(s) with the owners/managers.

Should owners/managers seem unwilling to entertain such changes and solutions presented, the third step (sigh) would be to inform these owners/managers that, as a result, an organized boycott by local bands would be implemented on a certain date, which would be carried out for a certain time period.

Even better, would be to get fans of local bands who frequent the clubs involved and included as well. This would “hit” clubs where they live and breathe…in their wallets two-fold through both a loss of “live” entertainment as well as a dramatic reduction of profits from club patrons.

An even nicer touch, would be to contact your local media to inform them that a boycott/strike is taking place by both musicians and club customers, which would serve to bring quite a bit of heat and negative publicity on the club(s) in question.

All of this is likely to get owners/managers to re-think their current methods and be open for more discussion. Again, this is most likely to have success with “showcase” nightclubs that, primarily, rely on “live” music to attract and maintain their clientele.

In your negotiation attempt(s) in your first meeting with club owners/managers, you may even mention your, possibly, going to the media to present your case and inform them of the combined musician/club customer boycott, which may serve to get exactly what you want without further ado.

True Lies About “Guaranteed” Radio Airplay

kennylove — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 03:19:04 +0000

True Lies About “Guaranteed” Radio Airplay

As a radio/video promoter and media publicist, I am often asked by prospective clients if their airplay will be guaranteed and, if so, how long it will last.

Another common question is, how long it takes before radio stations respond.

I have provided responses below that I recently gave to clients and I, sincerely, hope that my responses enlighten many artists who are confused on the processes and related issues on how radio airplay and press coverage can go (or, not go).

Thanks,

[---Question 1---]

“Kenny, I am curious to know that, with your promotion of my record to radio, if the airplay is guaranteed and how long it lasts for the number of weekly payments?

Thanks,”

Jerry K.

=====

[---From: Kenny Love---]

Jerry:

Please understand that, even though I have what I feel to be a great track record with getting radio airplay, video airplay, and print media publicity for my clients for almost 20 years, there is never and should never be a guarantee of airplay or publicity implied by promoters or publicists on any particular stations or print media.

In fact, the ONLY way to ”guarantee” airplay is by paying for and running advertisements and public service announcements on stations and in newspapers, in reference to songs being aired or reviewed.

However, in order to obtain and retain clients, more than a few unscrupulous promoters and publicists do make such ill will promises and guarantees. And, unless they are running ads or PSAs as I mentioned, this is an illegal act.

And, if they are discovered, they can be indicted, fined, and/or sent to federal prison for this crime, which is referred to in the Music industry as “payola.”

In fact, just a year or so ago, one of the largest record labels was found guilty of doing just this with one of the world’s most famous singers, and was fined millions of dollars.

In almost 20 years as a professional commercial Music promoter, I have never resorted to, participated in, nor endorsed this unlawful act.

And, no promoter can or should ever make such a guarantee to a prospective client unless the previously mentioned conditions of advertising and public service announcements are what are actually being conducted.

[---How "Guaranteed" Airplay/Publicity Works---]

I am going to pull the proverbial covers back now and expose how this illegal process works…

Promoters and publicists who participate in “payola” charge their clients astronomical fees amounting to thousands of dollars per month. However, with most musicians being unaware of what constitutes fair rates for promotion and publicity, they do not question the high rates of the promoter or publicist, otherwise, believing the rates are normal and fair.

Promoters and publicists who charge thousands of dollars per month then take a portion of the client’s money and illegally “buy” airplay and press coverage by paying radio station music directors, programmers, deejays, influential arts and entertainment magazines, and music publications a certain amount of money per “spin” for rotation and print media coverage in the forms of artist interviews or music reviews.

These large fees are enough to cover the airplay “buys” as well as put a decent amount of money in the promoter’s or publicist’s pockets. And, with enough clients at these high-end rates, such a promoter or publicist can not only make a good income, but with enough stations or press being paid “under the table,” so to speak for airplay and press, the promoter becomes a “savior” in the eyes of the unsuspecting client.

And, anyone who charges a far less rate (such as ME!) is, occasionally, viewed with suspicion by prospective clients, particularly, if the client has researched several promoters or publicists who have quoted similar high-end rates.

The sad fact is that the uninformed musician being represented by the promoter or publicist is completely unaware that he/she is, in fact, “buying” airplay.

And, when the promoter also provides a report verifying top stations are playing the client’s music, the client naturally believes the airplay has been acquired as a result of his or her popularity because the station personnel liked the recording being presented, that music listeners liked the recording and responded with requests for more airplay, the magazine editor or writer liked the music enough to feature or review it, or all of the above.

The fact is, the client is, in part, being lied to and tricked…not about the result, because the report, airplay monitoring, and press coverage readily serves as proof and verification that media coverage was obtained.

But, the client is being lied to about the honest interest (or lack, thereof) from radio station personnel or print editors, along with the fact that the client’s own money “paid” for the airplay or press coverage.

And, when the client’s money runs out, “coincidentally,” so does the airplay or press coverage. And, in this scenario, nothing could be further from the truth, and this is a staunch example of the phrase, “true lies.”

_________________________________________

[---Question 2---]

“Kenny, we plan on getting you to promote our latest release in a couple of weeks. After you make contact with stations, how long does it take them to respond?”

Sara B.

=====

[---From: Kenny Love---]

Hi, Sara:

The honest answer to your question, is that every project response is different. Truthfully, I have seen radio station and print media editors respond in as little as 30 minutes after my initially contacting them. On the other hand, I have seen media responses take, at least, a week (if not longer) before any reaction was forthcoming.

Many artists feel that, since promoters and publicists have connections that they have established through the years with the media, that the promoter can guarantee that every single media contact will connect with the recording. But, this is not always so, because other factors come into play as well, such as:

* Stations frequently change personnel, and promoters must form new relationships with their replacements

* Stations often change formats

* Regardless of the established long-term relationship between promoters and media personnel, the final decision lies with the media contact, and is largely based on how that media contact feels the recording fits their own current criteria for their station or print media

* While promoters’ media contacts may also like the recording, the media contacts, almost always, have supervisors who may not feel the same way and, thus, may not approve the recording for being added for airplay or press coverage

Also, keep in mind that simply notifying radio or video stations, or the print media of a recording is only the first major step.

The second major step is following up and tracking of the recording, which is what most artists lack in either experience on how to do so, or don’t have the time to do with each station or print media source, particularly, if the artist is performing regularly and consistently.

And, the media also requires a “waiting period” of, at least, 3-4 weeks after receiving press kits before promoters or publicists are allowed to follow-up with tracking to learn the status of the recording.

As you can see, there is a lot more ‘behind-the-scene’ decision-making and various levels to go through in order to obtain the desired result of airplay and/or media coverage.

2 New Articles For 21st Century Digital Musicians

kennylove — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:28:27 +0000

Today, I have just written two new articles for the 21st Century digital musician.

The first article, an instructional piece, is in response to a writer who was having major drama working with the print media in obtaining press coverage in areas where she is touring. It is titled, “How To Succeed In Getting Gig/Tour Press Coverage.”

The second article is more of an analysis of a musician’s psyche and what we experience at our soul’s depth that most non musicians can not, will not, nor shall ever understand. It is titled, “Now, I Know Why The Werewolf Howls.”

From it, I have drawn from the spirit and inspiration of one of my favorite authors and poets, Ms. Maya Angelou, who penned her 1969 autobiography titled, “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.”

Perhaps, you too will be able to obtain more press coverage for your own gigs/tours while also readily relating to “Now, I Know Why The Werewolf Howls,” which can be reviewed by clicking on “The B# Newsletter” [Message] link at http://yahoogroups.com/group/bsharpnews and reading messages 235 and 236, respectively.

In any event, thanks for reading me.
