A U.S. state is a federated state of the United States of America that shares sovereignty with the United States federal government. Since the admission of Hawaii as a state in August 1959, there are fifty U.S. states. Because of the shared sovereignty between a U.S. state and the U.S. federal government, an American is a citizen of both the federal entity and of his or her state of domicile. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia use the official title of Commonwealth rather than State. State citizenship is flexible and no government approval is required to move between states, with the exception of paroled convicts.
The United States Constitution allocates certain powers to the federal government. It also places some limitations on the state governments. State governments are allocated power by the people (of each respective state) through their individual constitutions. By ratifying the United States Constitution, the people transferred certain limited sovereign powers to the federal government from their states. Under the Tenth Amendment, all powers not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states are retained by the states or the people. Historically, the tasks of public safety (in the sense of controlling crime), public education, public health, transportation, and infrastructure have generally been considered primarily state responsibilities, although all of these now have significant federal funding and regulation as well (based largely upon the Commerce Clause, the Taxing and Spending Clause, and the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution).
Jordan Roseman (aka DJ Earworm) is a San Francisco-based mashup artist who has achieved recognition for his technically sophisticated, songwriting oriented music and video mashups. His annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring the top 25 songs of the year according to Billboard magazine, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play.
Roseman was born into a big family of musicians and raised in eastern Iowa and Evanston, Illinois. In his early life, he played piano and produced original electronic music on a computer, later majoring in music theory and computer science at the University of Illinois. He began using ACID recreationally in 2003. After encouragement from DJ Adrian at Club Bootie, Roseman created the moniker DJ Earworm ("earworm" referencing a song that repeats uncontrollably in one's mind) and began releasing mashups via a website.
DJ Earworm has a unique mashup style that consists of a compositional, songwriting approach. He gradually layers samples on top of one another, matching keys and subtly altering melodies. His mashups often convey an entirely new meaning than the original material, such as a political message in “No More Gas”. He has been contrasted with mashup artist Girl Talk, who has a more DJ-oriented style.
(Aisi Sazaa Deti Hawaa, Tanhai Bhi Tanha Nahi) 2
Neenden Bhi Ab Sone Gayi , Raaton Ko Bhi Parvaah Nahi..
Aise Mein Baarish Ki Boondon Se Apni, Saason Ko Sehla Bhi Do
Badhti Hawaon Ke Jhokho Se Dil Ko, Nagma Koi Laa Bhi Do
Palko Ki Kono Pe Baaithi Nami Ko, Dheeme Se Pighla Bhi Do
Aaaaaaa.Yeh Zindagi Aisi Hi Thi, Tumne Kabhi Jaana Nahi
Jeevan Ki Rahon Mein Aana Ya Jaana, Bata Ke Nahi Hota Hai
Jaate Kahin Hai Magar Jaante Naa, Ki Aana Wahin Hota Hai
Khone Ki Zid Mein Yeh Kyu Bhoolte Ho, Ki Paana Bhi Hota Hai
Wo Pal Abhi Waisa Hi Hai, Choda Tha Jo Jaisa Wahi
Aisi Sazaa Deti Hawaa, Tanhai Bhi Tanha Nahi
Neenden Bhi Ab Sone Gayi, Raaton Ko Bhi Parvaah Nahi..
