So Feral is just around the corner, and the usual awesomeness is all set and ready to go: i.e. my DJ set is all tweaked and ready to make your pants dance.
There is other musical awesomeness that I'm not even sure that I'm allowed to talk about yet, but it involves the song "Break Your Heart" by Taoi Cruz, which you have probably heard on the radio if you listen to any kind of pop radio these days. Which brings me to my observation for the day:
People who do transcriptions of songs to play on guitar seem to have no goddamn clue what they are doing these days.
In case you ever wanted to know how to play Break Your Heart on an acoustic guitar, here's how: Apply a capo to the third fret and play Am F C Em over and over and over again, that's it. (Now collect millions of dollars for writing a catchy radio song). The good (and obviously deaf) people over at ultimate-guitar.com have suggested playing the following:
Am G C
F C G
D Em C G
and so on and so forth. There is no goddamn G in this song AT ALL. Also, putting the capo on the first fret means playing Bm and F#m (and if you're using a capo why bother playing bar chords at all?)
I should get paid to do this.
