Pop Screen
''Pop Screen'' is a video feature compiling all of R.E.M.'s ''Document'' and ''Green''-era promotional videos. It was released on VHS on July 1, 1990, and on DVD format ( region 1 only) on August 22, 2000, both on the Warner Brothers label. The 35-minute release features promotional videos to all of the band's singles and several album-only tracks from ''Document'' and ''Green''. It also includes the video for "Talk About The Passion" from '' Murmur''. This particular video was made to promote the compilation '' Eponymous'' which was released between ''Document'' and ''Green'', and this is the reason for its otherwise anachronistic inclusion. It includes the uncensored version of "Pop Song 89," which has three topless women dancing along with a topless Michael Stipe. In preparation for television airings, MTV asked Stipe, who directed it himself, to censor the three topless women. Instead, Stipe superimposed black bars on the chests of all four dancers, himself included, and st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal jazz the p ...
