I Love My Band

Just wanted to say a few things that came to my mind recently. Just like everyone else in the band I have alot going on with work and life and all that stuff.Listening to our demo got me thinking about how lucky I am am to get to play with you dudes.(Bear with me a minute while I get a little sappy on all of you.) Playing music is the most fun a human can have with there clothes on...I think.Our homemade demo has turned out great and I am proud of the music and the work WE put into it.(thank you Andy) Going forward a couple tweaks of the mix and stuff is fine but I just don't want to get crazy with it. I am loving the new stuff and look forward to crafting some more.I just feel lucky that you guys are as cool as you are and that we click when we need to and have fun the rest of the time.I'm sure you all know people that have been in many musical projects and that would love to be where we are at now.(making music and having fun) Enjoy what we have and what we are doing is the moral of the lesson today children. Nice job everyone and looking forward to Wednesday and every jam after that.........MITB

I ain't got nobody that I can depend on...

...little girl can't say "frog" :)

The New Muppet Video

Dear DaveO.......Long Live BOB.....

Can we get some love for the bass??

well, maybe if I was as good as Jaco's stinkiest smelling shit on his worst day...

Fairies Have Shaker

There's tons of shaker in Fairies Wear Boots. Starts at 3:36 and goes until 4:00. I mean seriously dude, do you really need more than 24 seconds to shine? But I think we should forgo all of that and have Dave go out into the crowd and start a mosh-pit.

We are going to try this one on Wednesday nite, right?

frenemy

maybe we can add some of this style in there?



yes another youtube post....

jah mon...

well i guess i will see you all in about a little over a week. not much of a storm yesterday....oh well.. what can you do? lou and i worked on one of my tunes at his place which was good.. so there was some productivity. can you guys play thursday or friday of next week instead of wednesday? i fly home on that wednesday so wont be able to make it up to play. so maybe we can do another night? check out yo schedules.

so yeah.. maybe you guys can start working on Fairies wear boots? there should be a copy of my tune "something to run from" on the desktop if you had any interest. think i moved it into a folder.. anway.. if not we can get into it when i get back, but lets get into new material. i am leaving wednesday early morning. 3am.. hot damn.

peace out.. jah rastafaria.

darren

super technical michael angelo style

super technical don giovanni style

just in case you needed some bad-assed southern rock

funny, that this dude rules

here's an "all solo's" mix from a guy named brad paisley
MONSTROUSLY famous in the country world
...like every chick south of the mason/dixon line, wants to have his baby
and to me it's always funny, that he's such a complete bad-ass on guitar
it's a bit like saying "hey, you know who can really rip-ass? ...usher."

p.s. has 5 albums, writes all his own songs

SUPER MEGA EXTRA JESUSY

Covert Security

Holy Schnikeys!!

$1500 amp for 5 bills (probably 650 after tax and shipping). 1200 watts. 138 pounds. Colossally large, heavy, and powerful... would never have to worry about not having enough power to fill a club with this thing. jesus... i'm very tempted. other bass amps in this price range have 1/6th the power and this one has gotten great reviews everywhere i've looked.

someone please tell me not to do it...

The Roots vs Antibalas

The format of the show was like nothing I've seen before. They had two stages set up on opposite sides of the room with a dance floor in the middle. First they "warmed up" (each played a few songs). Then the format was multiple "rounds" where the two bands were given certain challenges. For instance--round one was "The Cover". The DJ (who opened the night with a bunch of funky jams) would drop a record, and each band would have to finish the song in their own style. Next round was "The Takeover" where one band would start one of their own songs, and the other band would have to finish it. Next was "The Clash" where the DJ would play a style of music, and each band would have to play one of their own songs in that style. Then "The Joker" where each band brought up a surprise special guest. And then a finale with both bands on the same stage (they played a Fela Kuti song). The whole thing was hosted by Akrobatic, a local legend of Boston hip-hop, and he's just a walking talking good time...

The only downside was the song selection for the "Covers" and "Clash" rounds. For Covers, it was all TV theme songs!! First it was Cheers, then The Jeffersons, then Knight Rider... i was hoping for some... well... songs... and the "Clash" could have been more diverse, too. First was reggae, then jazz flavor one, then jazz flavor two. I think it would have been fun to see them play punk, classical, hair-metal, etc. And then there's the inherent contradiction of two bands that are pretty overtly anti-corporate in their lyrics playing under a "Red Bull" banner... but i'm sure that only weirdos like me would let that enter their thought process during a night of such incredible music.

Overall, it was a REALLY cool show and they kept us dancing/head-bobbing for the whole thing. It was well rehearsed and there wasn't anything going on that the bands weren't expecting and hadn't practiced before hand, so it wasn't like they were going to be thrown for a loop or had to make stuff up on the spot. But it was great to see the interplay between them, and great to hear the fusing of the two styles. The Roots live band isn't really like a hip-hop show--they had a tuba player, no DJ, sort of a funk-rock feel, not really a boom-bap rap on any of the tunes. Antibalas is just awesome, in my opinion--I happen to love Afrobeat so I'm biased. But they are great at what they do. Really tight, really funky. Best show I've seen all year, and I'm sure I'll still be able to say that in December. Unless we play a show that I'm able to watch from outside of my own physical body.

50 greatest?

When i saw this video, i understood how ppl coud've said Pagganni was possessed.
there's a longer "with back story" version, but basically it's a guitar "speed" contest in Brazil.
i believe this vid is not "sped up" because you can see the guy behind him "fidgeting around" at, what looks to ME, like "normal" speed.
i felt really slow after this vid!

...like Reaally slow! haha, you guys are Seriously not ready for this dudes chops!

for you lou

check this shit

casey and lou this is all you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4BYMvVvMg0&feature=related

time for changes

so what do you guys think about starting some new tunes? as we finish the demo (which is sounding pretty good btw andy) i feel we are getting a little stale.. probably cuz we haven't consistently practiced lately.. . i know casey has a couple of tunes, i have a tune, lou has a tune, andy may have a riff or two to work with. just think we need to keep it fresh. do we need to play motorcycle every practice? probably not. lets make room for some other shit.

welcome friends

so this is the first post. post some shit. new demo mixes.. crazy casey videos, ideas for songs, rants, random shit.. whatever....
