Michael Jackson Would Be Proud

No explanation is needed for this. Absolutely Amazing.

How Can I Stand Here…

// August 10th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Music & Entertainment, life

standingI’ve heard this song a million times and today some of the lyrics hit me good. Nothing amazing, nothing out of the ordinary but maybe that’s why they seem so relevant.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose…you’re everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Those are from the Lifehouse song “Everything”.  Check it out on Amazon.

If you have a few minutes I encourage you to turn off the lights, close your eyes and just let the video below play.


The Dead Weather Makes Me Want To Rock (again)

// July 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // Music & Entertainment

51Im6ID56oL._SS500_I gave up the live music scene around 1999 when I realized there were some great musicians out there who had it covered.  I was determined to let them rock and I’d help them get out there so people could hear them (visit Tone Box for those details).

Since then I’ve written tons of music, even contributed over a 100 tracks to a TV catalog that has been on every  major network and many other cable networks.

It may seem silly but I still have this urge to pick up my guitar and make music.  New music, something is just built in.  I’m pretty sure I’ll dabble but it won’t be anything major (at least no plans).  So where am I going with this?  What’s the point.

The point is The Dead Weather.  Jack White’s new experiment with Kills’ singer Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita from the Queen’s Of The Stoneage and Jack Lawrence from the The Raconteurs.  I heard the single “Hang You From The Heavens” a while back and was so ready for this album.  The album Horehoud landed yesterday and I can’t quit listening to it.  I mean, it’s that good.  Wait, it’s that refreshing.  It’s not the same old fluff that labels are putting out and it really pushes some new territories with some old sounds.

The reason for this post is basically, if I ever made a record again this is the record I would have wanted to make.  This takes so many styles and sounds and just creates a new fresh rock.

To be honest, most music people won’t get into it.  They probably won’t even like it, but I urge you to listen.  Listen to the arrangements, listen to the drum patterns, listen to the synth/guitar lines… there are many, many gems in this one.

Ok, enough being a fan boy.  Check it out @ Amazon

This video is just bit outside the box too… but cool song.
The Dead Weather – Treat Me Like Your Mother

Michael Jackson, Thanks.

michaeljLike many folks I’m shocked at the death of Michael Jackson.  I think what I’m more shocked at is the news coverage… These are the same vultures who were ready to skin him alive and let him waste away in Neverland.

The news coverage has now jumped on the band wagon of loving MJ.  It’s sad to think he thought many in the world hated him and only thought of him as a joke…  he died thinking that.

I’m not without fault.  The dude went off the deep end with some of the stuff he pulled and the way he acted, but when it comes down to it, he had a child, he had a mom, he had a dad, he had brothers and he had sisters.

Michael Jackson, thanks for recording your life.  Thanks for making some of the best records ever.  You truly were Off The Wall.

Check out this collection of Michael Jackson Music…  Lot’s of amazing stuff, you’ll be surprised.

Free Music Friday – Drive By Friday

// April 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Music & Entertainment, Totally Free Music!

I’m looking for the rock because I’m in that mood.  Spring time has arrived and we all need good music to listen to loud while we drive!  Enjoy and rock the weekend.

First up is a band that has an old school Black Sabbath meets early Soundgarden (remember Loud Love?!) sound. The grunge influence is there as well which isn’t surprising since this band is fronted by Van Conner formerly of the Screaming Trees (one of my all time favorite bands from the West coast!). Great track.

As I was finishing this blog post, I thought I would browse one more time and found this gem. Really like the feel of this band- it’s a little bit close to the All American Rejects pop/punk/rock but it still grabbed me, so here it is to grab you. Enjoy!
