It has been suggested to me that I should play guitar for an upcoming birthday party.  The participants are all around the age of 3~5, which means I can't play anything from my Alice in Chain's catalogue.  I've been looking online for some Disney sheet music so I can learn notable classics such as, "Under the Sea" and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight ( Read more... )

I grow weary of all this talk about the Pumpkins "getting back together". It will never be a reunion without D'arcy/James and all the drama that came along with it.

I'm buying the new album when it comes out anyways.  Chances are, I'll be disappointed just as I was disappointed seeing Billy play with Zwan, watching him go "unplugged" during his ( Read more... )

Women spend this much time of their life doing their hair.

Why are they so expensive?

Bill Maher added, "men don't notice their hair, because they spend about 2 years of their life staring at their tits". Amen...(-_-;)

And I'm normally not the type to listen to potato music (emo=potato in Japanese), but I kinda stumbled upon these bands. They're ( Read more... )

It's fair to say that small venues like the Warehouse rarely receive bands of this magnitude.  Last night that band was Envy.  People were brought to tears, I kid you not.  These guys are the real deal.  And as I've predicted in my recent post, they did overcome the language barrier.  Honestly, I can say it was really great to see a Japanese band ( Read more... )

Tim mentioned a possible deal with Lobster Records, which could be a breakthrough for them.  I'm glad the CD I helped create got them some positive comments from the label.

Scroll down a bit and see under the heading "Demo Derby".

In support of the album, Jinxed is heading out to tour the US.  The struggle continues for them.  No matter how many ( Read more... )

I've mentioned this before, but if you like screaming hardcore coupled with melodic wall-of-sound guitar voicings, you shouldn't sleep on the band Envy.  I'm going to assume 90% of the crowd tonight won't understand a lick of Japanese, but we'll see if music can conquer the language barrier (it usually does with Envy).

Just got word from my boss that his car broke down in the middle of Vermont. Originally him and his family went up to the New England area to catch some Tanglewood performances by the BSO. Nice plan, except he ignored my warnings about getting his car checked at least 2-3times a year. It's likely that they won't be coming back until Friday ( Read more... )

As I near my next phase of my life, I've come to appreciate the importance of becoming a responsible person.

Be kind to others (including all living things). Be kind to robots too I suppose (like Asimo, who I really wanna meet one day). Be health conscious. Try to be organic in most aspects of life. Protect the environment and wildlife.
