"Poetry In The Streets" by Berkeley Social Scene Where do you find what’s on the city’s mind? Go where the people meet, out in the street. There’s comfort in a winding road There’s music in every zip code On the lips of passers by Poetry in the streets A paper slip killing time Poetry in t...

Oh no! no no no. Stan lee lives a long and creative life. We should all be so lucky.

Today I learned that there is a free (but limited) version of Protools!

Hey All, Sam and I have talked about this a bit because I was interested in seeing the Roy Orbison Hologram concert. Sam was concerned that there is enough competition for musicians without it including dead ones. I just read another article about someone who attended an opera performance. What are ...

Let's all pat ourselves on the back and feel good about participatory government.

I voted.

I didn't think it was all that bad. I have a friend who said it was his favorite Star Wars movie yet. It is such an iconic character, whose past is alluded to frequently, but never explored. One of the best parts of Star Wars is that the universe is lived in. We don't need to know all the details of...

What new music are you listening to this week? Hiss Golden Messenger, Virgo Fool - easy listening and sometimes upbeat. Sun Kil Moon, This is My Dinner - Mark Kozelak one hell of a songwriter. Somehow he makes the mundane interesting and tells engaging yet meandering stories. Most of these songs are...

Wow, the best song I heard today is Cake - We Are on a Sinking Ship.

Glad to hear things are on the up swing!

Here's what new music I've listened to today: the Beatles, three versions of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Always interesting to hear how Beatles songs are in flux while they are recording. Lyrics change, arrangements change. I'm not even sure the final version is the best. Very interesting. Peter, ...

Berkeley Social Scene - Love the opening guitar riff. Catchy Chorus. Great harmonized guitar solo! Ghost Pup - I like the jazzy guitar. It's hard to hear the rest of the band though. Even the vocals are a little lost behind that guitar. Glenn Case - Classic Glenn Case! I like the lead guitar part on...

Checked out a few more new albums: Dodos - didn't grab me. I like one of their songs and enjoyed seeing them live one time, but overall just can't get into them. Watson Twins - Pleasant enough. BRONCHO, Bad Behavior - a little too mellow for me today John Grant, Love is Magic - weird and wonderful. ...

I checked out some of these albums today... Elvis Costello - too jazzy for my taste. I thought with the Imposters, this would be more rock and roll. Parcels - didn't hold my attention. St. Vincent - love the piano only version of Pills. So good. Edie Brickell and New Bohemians - funkier than expecte...

My new Win10 computer is not working fully with my recording softwares.-bill Not to hijack this thread too much, but I've also had a number of issues with my latest Win10 laptop. I've upgraded my audio interface and am still having issues. If you want to talk more about this in the Help and How To ...

I'm not sure I totally understand this, but it looks like a free VST sample player call Labs, which allows you to use free sample sets that include strings, pianos, and drums. Check it out and see what you think: https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/

Berkeley Social Scene - the vocal melody kinda sinks this one for me, it just feels like it follows a very obvious pattern along with the chords. Maybe that's a deliberate attempt to sound robot-esque, but it's just feels uninspired to me. The bridge is cool though, the solo is good as ever, and I ...

Berkeley Social Scene - Yes, You're a Robot Verses: We all pretend to be someone we’re not With imposter syndrome, you can’t get caught But with you, it's something greater Not a human, an imitator A rusty cage full of buggy code A skeleton in gentlemen’s clothes Hide in plain sight, a simple plan A...

WOW! Did you play the game?!?!

I've watched this a couple of times now and am just very impressed with how weird/cute/catchy/warm/odd/interesting this performance is. Check it out if you haven't already:

Just listened to Van William - Countries and really liked it. Van was the leader of Port O'Brien and this is a solo album by him. Very enjoyable listen.
