Uncensored and Raw: Witness Life on the Road with the Band Jetboy
You and I both have our ideas about what life must be like for rock bands on the road. Whether it the penthouse suites and first class treatment of superstars like Bon Jovi or the lonely outsider depiction outlined in Bob Seger's melancholy classic "Turn the Page." Today you get a chance to see - and hear - for yourself what it's like for lesser known, harder working bands to be on the road. For a few weeks now, I have been following a guy named Micheal Butler around the Midwest. Micheal Butler is the host of one [...]

Serj is coming!
Thanks for the introduction CK. I’m glad to post for you, it’s an honor. Ok, my first entry into the Goat, so here we go. I feel no pressure. (Yea, right.) Now that yet another of my favorite bands has decided to “pursue individual interests,†I’m left again to wonder what the future holds for myself musically. I look to Serj Tankian (lead vocalist, System of A Down) to heighten my interest immediately. Serj is unloading the bands’ first solo project on October 23rd, oddly titled, “Elect [...]
Lets Give a Big Musicgoat Welcome to…
He guys I have some good news for you. Starting today you will begin to see posts from an long time friend of mine: Brice (aka BL). A few months back I told him I was doing some blogging. After reading my content on this site - other than ripping on my shaky writing skills - he thought he would give it a shot. So before he goes through all of the trouble of setting up his own blog, he is going to give it a go on the Musicgoat. You will see that he [...]

Some Great New Heavy Metal and a Very Metal Observation
As much as I love heavy metal music I really haven't talked about it a whole lot on the Goat. Today, in the spirit of metal, I just wanted to share an observations, a cool new song from a legend and kick ass band you need to check out. First, an observation. I don't know what it is but I've noticed that the older I get the better Iron Maiden gets. The other day I was running and listening to my iPod. I was listening to a playlist I like to call Metal Stew when the [...]
Do You Agree With This Einstein Quote?
Get out your thinking caps and see if you would agree with this quote. "All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree." - Albert Einstein Even though it adds a nice complexity to the question it is too bad we couldn't scrap the religion part. Sounds like a great theme for a song or even a concept album. There, that should give you something to think about for the rest of the day. Related Posts [...]
A Video That is Clever, Funny and All Country
The song on this video is pretty funny and I just had to share this with you. I heard it a few months ago on Adam Curry's Podcast "The Daily Source Code."

I don't know a whole lot about the guy but I do know that his style predominantly country and he writes [...]

With that said, let me tell you about some cool ass music that until recently was outside of my box (and maybe even yours). Here goes; Dan Fogel (self described [...]
Live Music on a USB Memory Stick
Imagine going to a show, watching your favorite band and then, if you like what you heard, getting a recording of the show you just heard on the way out of the club? Sound cool? I thought so too. According to an article on Last100.com it is now feasible for artists to store live recordings on a USB memory stick and sell them after the show.. This is great for the fan and great for the artist. The fan gets to relive a part of the experience over and over (or hear [...]
Beer Talk: Rolling Rock Green Light
You know I like talking beer and I wanted to share one of my recent favorites. It is called Rolling Rock Green Light . I found it one night when I decided I wasn't in the mood to spend sixteen bucks for a twelver of Newcastle . It caught my eye and $9.59 later I was on my way home. It comes in a bottle, as most good beer does, and is very light and refreshing (cheesy but true). Almost comparable to Heineken. As a side benefit, for those [...]
