Scrivo questo post giusto per dare un segnale di vita. Oggi non avevo proprio voglia di mettermi a navigare/leggere/ascoltare/far e e scrivere. Però giustamente capisco pure che tenere un blog significa anche faticare ed impegnarsi quindi butto giù 'ste cavolo di due righe e non ci penso più. Dicevo che oggi non avevo voglia di scrivere. Mi sono diviso tra lo studio, le telefonate di lavoro e qualche puntata delle mie serie tv preferite. Mi son visto Gossip Girl , Smallville e Heroes . Dopo cena mi vedrò la 5a di [...]
I am a musician. I've been a solo act for a few years. In the studio, I'm in a playground of overdubs and harmonies and whatever the hell else I want to add. But live, I'm restricted to only what I can play at one time; one guitar, one voice, occasionally a harmonica or a stomped tambourine, but that's it. It's always uncomfortable to go back and forth between the studio mindset and the live mindset in terms of what I can and can't do in each environment. Some musicians find a backing band to play with live, some record [...]
Ah, it's covers. I love covers. I'm not sure why I have such a fascination with one band playing another's music, but it always has (and always will) intrigue me. Sometimes they bring something new to the song or emphasize it in a way you never thought of it. Sometimes it's just really, really shitty. We'll try to avoid those ones. To start things off, I (Kraig) will take you out to Africa for my selections. Mysterious Ways - Angelique Kidjo (originally by U2) Both of the tracks [...]
I like how I posted earlier this week about Nine Inch Nails and now I'm giving you some Howie Day. It's good, I dig - it should keep all of y'all on your toes. That's right, I just said y'all. Or is it ya'll? Hmmm....food for thought there. How does one spell y'all? It's not giving me the red squiggles for that spelling so I'm stickin' to it. Now, back to the post: I've gotten my dirty little hands on a few more demos from Howie's forthcoming release - hooray for [...]
Sometimes 12 songs just isn't enough. Sometimes, you're just listening along to a new cd, and that last song ends, but it doesn't end . Or sometimes it'll just be an extra track thrown your way, as a very special thank you for buying the cd. You'd better buckle up, because you've entered the realm of bonus tracks, baby. I (Brock) will go first this time around. The Damnwells - Air Stereo [...]
At this point I'm not really sure whether I should be "excited" for another Howie Day record or if I should just run and hide from it right now. Before I get much further I should point out some facts here: About 5 years ago Howie Day would have been one of my top 5 favorite artists if you asked me, no hesitation. I still count Australia , Howie's first release, as one of my favorite albums. Howie put on one of [...]
I cannot tell a lie; this is not my favorite Mayer tune. Having said that though, I gotta say that the sentiment behind it just knocks me out. I'm long on two things...legs and words. Ironically my Grandfather happens to be a man of very few of the latter. He's been very sick for a very long time and as we near the twilight of his time here with us in the physical world I've been helping
Friday evening, Riss came over for dinner and drinks. My roommate made the most stellar dinner (that I've still been raving about for two days) and we had a great time that was incredibly chill and relaxed. It might have helped that between 3 people, we managed to go through 4 bottles of wine. Howie Day - Slow Down from Australia [...]
Manic Street Preachers - A Song For Departure Keane - Enjoy The Silence (Cover Depeche Mode) The Weepies - Take It From Me Scott Simons - Umbrella (Cover Rihanna) Επειδή πολύ βλέπουν Καρατζαφέρη [ονοματα δε λέμε...] θα έχουν παρατηρήσει ότι έχει λιωσει το βίντεο ππου περιγράφει τα γεγονότα των ημερών με την υπόκρουση του Street Spirit [ψάξτε στο youtube..]. Στο επόμενο προβλέπω το Karma Police Howie Day - Karma Police (Cover Radiohead)
Today, we'll switch things up a little and offer two competing covers of the same Radiohead song, which will be "Karma Police," taken from the 1997 album OK Computer . First, the Brown Derbies are an a capella group from Brown University . Their version of the song is taken the album Jericho (1999). Are you familiar with the whole College A Capella scene ? Some of it is good, some of it is funny and some of it is overblown. Then, we turn [...]
