As sponsors of the No Mercy Metal Showcase I've had the pleasure of catching several great new acts sling their brand of metal through out the tri-state area. I unfortunately couldn't make this month's showcase, but the reason I'm kicking my own ass is because I missed Angel Vivaldi live. If you're unfamiliar with the ...
With upstate New York, Michigan and Chicago covered in snow, this is a great opportunity to remind ya'll it's spring with a free 20-minute instrumental blend dedicated to those April showers and May flowers. Willie Green's been one of our favorite beat tape organizers since ...Of Heroes & Villains, which chronicled a battle between He-Man and Baron Silas Greenback. On Four Seasons - Spring Movement Green intersperses Greenback's trademark cackle, but the long playing collectio...
This is the kind of stuff I really get a kick out of because it illustrates just how closely certain kinds of metal are related to classical music. Check out this "dueling guitar" performance of the "Summer" theme of Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons suite, as sent in by MS reader Kyle: Now compare that composition [...]

So lately I have been noticing more than a few music bloggers posting "random notes" about music as a way to fill in for a lack of more substantial posts. I recognize the strategy to keep some fresh content up without quite as much effort as I often do this on my work blog, but haven't really resorted to it here. Not sure why, since, even though it might be just a filler strategy, I often find these posts as informational as any in the long run--so here is one of my own. I [...]
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as SSSSLLLLLAAAAAYYYYYERRRRRR!!!! !, does it? In case you doubted the connection between classical music and modern metal: in 1999, Dave Lombardo teamed up with Italian music critic Lorenzo Arruga and some other people you don't care about for Vivaldi: The Meeting, which basically takes some classic Vivaldi pieces and [...]
Hi you all - I've been doing book launches for my new book "Sound Unbound" for the last couple of months. It's been one of MIT's top selling books of the year, and basically, we've had an excellent run in cities like Berlin, London, Paris, Stockholm, Milan, Rome, San Franicsco, NY, L.A., Seattle, Boston etc etc The Vienna book launch is coming up in a couple of days. If you have any friends there, please forward the info. There'll be lots of people from different scenes for the launch, and well... I think it'll be pretty fun. [...]

M.I.A. - "Bird Flu" I told you to listen to this, didn't I? Well, I know you all ignored that, I know you were too busy walking quickly and carrying your very important papers. But you can't ignore this. This track is in a kind of scaremongering hysteria, it's circled by crazy-eyed kids stamping their feet and saying ha! and rolling their tongues. This track isn't fun, it's gnashing, thrashing, and hot. The sweat just drips off and down, leaving a black puddle on the black ground. The rest of the album feels like filler compared to this. [Buy] -- [...]
Vinha agora a caminho de casa e deu-me uma vontade enorme de ouvir o Verão e o Inverno das Quatro Estaçõe s de Vivaldi . Peguei num compact disk que tenho e que sei que não é das versões mais "originais" e comecei a ouvir. De facto não consigo ficar indiferente aos diferentes ritmos e à beleza desta música. Não é preciso muito para começar a viajar numa infinitude de paisagens. Como será ouvir isto ao vivo? Acho que não consigo imaginar, mas penso que seria uma experiência magnífica. E [...]
