This blog is about anything related to music, right? At Christmas we came down from the mountain to visit the folks in Tidewater, VA. This arcade and mini golf joint in town has become a regular vacation stop. Mars picked a good song for this round of Guitar Hero, Satch’s “Surfing with the Alien.” Is this also on our home version?
I got to see Joe Satriani on this tour. Note the ticket stub and dig the album art. Back to hard rocking Mars, I wish you could have seen the couple minutes right before I started recording. This is subdued in comparison.
My old pal and fellow Fool Jonathan Mudd has a new album! Here are the details straight from J-Mudd himself…
The music is now available through my brand-spanking-new website at http://www.muddmusic.com, where you can sample tracks, download MP3s and (best of all!) purchase the full-length CD.
Truth Lies contains 11 new songs I wrote over the last few years. Please give it a listen—I think you’ll find big melodies, big guitars, big beats…a few bright ideas…and maybe even a couple of happy accidents. Read the rest of this post »
Went to a great show with my son last weekend: Mad Tea Party and Southern Culture on the Skids at the Grey Eagle in Asheville. More pics, videos and yapping after the jump. Check it out.
We interrupt Tracy’s regularly scheduled broadcast of Beastie Boys and KISS to bring you something for the ladies — the single ladies, to be more precise. I really dig this cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” even though I’m not the biggest fan of the original. The singer Nataly has a great voice and Jack is amusingly manic. The part that really does it for me is that it’s got a very nice DIY feel. They characterize their productions as VideoSongs because their are no hidden sounds. They show you every sound that makes it into the mix whether it’s a splash cymbal, a kiddie xylophone, or a puppet on a bass drum. Speaking of which, the puppet gets some good screen time on this cover of “September” originally done by Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Just got this from my friends at Ustream. Check it out.
The rock band KISS will be doing a live webcast of their concert from
the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 9p PST on Wednesday, Nov. 25.
This is the first-ever live web concert for KISS, one of rock’s most
iconic bands, as they celebrate the release of their new, three-song
Guitar Hero® track pack. Ustream anticipates this will be a major
concert event that could set new viewership records.
Users can watch and interact by visiting the official KISS Facebook
page at facebook.com/KISS or on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kiss-live to connect with other KISS
fans. KISS chose Ustream (www.ustream.tv), the leading live video
