hello brethern!

I heard this guy play at a show in NM. He said that when he was young, he started playing guitar first, and then gradually shifted over to playing the mandolin as well. He claims the tuning is way different, but a lot of the techniques are the same. Be sure to check out his site if you are an acoustic music lover.

Hey guys whats shakin, just wanted to throw some love at ACE, I met him last week and it was so cool! Hes promoting his self-titled album and its out next tuesday so i'm pretty excited. Anyone else dig his jams?!

The computer told me to introduce myself - so I must obey. Let's see - bands/artists I'm into: recently I've been listening to alot of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Outkast, The Zombies, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Alpha Blondy, Yellowman, Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Fountains of Wayne, Girl Talk, Los Straitjackets, MGMT, My Morning Jacket, plus a bunch of other stuff, but thats kind of a good summary of my likes.

Hope to meet people that can recommend cool music I don't know about, especially current bands that I can catch in concert.

:lol:

As a few of you will already know, I was invited along with my guitarist, Gary Dale to do a gig in the Aussie Capital, Canberra to celebrate my 56th birthday back in June and a mate had his son record the whole shebang to see if we could get a CD out of it.

Here is the first 'raw mix' of Doctor Blues for you to have a listen to. I have had to drop it back to 64kbps mp3PRO to upload it to my site, but I hope you like it folks.

Enjoy!

Hi all

Dont know if there is a thread doing this already, its a bit of fun none the less.

idea of the game is find out where the quote comes from, what song AND who it is sung by

Quote: *Making two possibilities a reality, Predicting the future of things we all know*

happy guessing , hints are freely avalible

Hi all

Title really explains it, which do you think is better? recorded? or live? or recorded live? etc....

Record companies change the sound of a note as it is recorded to make it "perfect" does this inprove the sound? or take away part of the soul of the song?

in my humble opinion, music that is edited dureing the record does indeed take away something away from the music, humanity is anything but perfect so why should our music be? thats my logic but there we go!

Or do you totally disagree with me and think that a little tweaking goes a long way?

is a band poo if they sound compleatly differant to thier albem?

MUSE is the only example i can use, as the songs that they play live may have a fundermentle simmerlarity with the ones on the albem, and yet they are compleately differant to listen to.

Ever had someone who has similar taste in music recommend a band/artist to you that you have never heard before and you go to listen to them expecting them to be crash hot (and are let down), and then you are left wondering what so special about them? Here is my top 10 list of such bands/artists.

1.) The Rolling Stones
2.) Bruce Springsteen
3.) Radiohead
4.) The Clash
5.) Foo Fighters
6.) Jimi hendrix
7.) Crowded House
8.) Fall out Boy
9.) Jet
10.) Deep Purple

Disclaimer: These are not my most disliked bands (But I do hate the Stones!), but bands who I do not get and think are somewhat over hyped.

This is a really good song by Clint Mansell. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with some artists/songs that are similar in mood and tempo to this song and would like some suggestions. Right now my classical selection is very narrow and would like some more.
Note: I don't like happy songs.

Killer Mike is back again with his new volume of the grind. “The Grind Vol. II” from Fontana comes out on July 8th. I can’t wait. His first single “2 Sides” sounds great. To support the release, Killer Mike is holding a contest online. You need to submit a video of what your understanding of “Grind” is. The first place gets an apple iPhone. The top three all get signed copies of the CD and a ton of other things.
