| Article Title :: Stéphane Pompougnac Delivers Sexy Beatz With Hotel Costes Volume
6 |
| |
|
Hotel Costes, Vol. 6 kick starts things right off with In The
Black Of The Night by Slow Train. It's a beautiful, soulful,
jazzy track with excellent female vocals. We then head off to
Reality Check by Stigmato Inc. Not one of my favorite tracks on
here but still OK. It gets thing ready for the next track called
Metropolitan by Emmanuel Santarromana. An amazing track with the
beautiful sounds of the accordion. I'm not sure what language it
is but I think it could be Italian. Right after that track
things really start moving with Surround Me With Your Love
(Mental Overdrive Mix) by 311 Porter. This track is a
Spanish/Latin flavored piece with enough energy to set the dance
floor on fire yet (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Newstalgia Music |
| |
|
Some of you have undoubtedly heard the term, (as applied to
music) some haven't. I don't know if it's a regional term, I
hear it mostly from entertainers, club patrons, etc.
The first time I heard the term, I assumed the word was made up
by the user (a guitar player from Orlando.) I later heard it
used in casual conversation from some club patrons in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina.
>From what I gather, newstalgia music is a genre consisting of
two types of music; 'updated covers' of fifties and sixties hits
(versions that are not complete note-for-note recreations,) or
new songs that capture the feel of the fifties and sixties.
Many national artists have recorded newstalgia songs, often

| Article Title :: Recording; the Price of Memories |
| |
|
If you make a habit of salivating over vintage recording gear,
wince at the price, and secretly wish you lived in the the 'good
old days' when every recording studio was full of these fat
sounding cool pieces of equipment, remember to include being
born rich as part of your dream.
Before the advent of the digital age and cheap consumer
electronics, the phrase "I'm going into the studio' had a
reverence in the music business. The recording studio was a
remote unobtainable dream for most musicians, and for a very
good reason. It was expensive. Really expensive. Studio gear was
expensive, therefore, studio time was very high. In the early
70's, from 40-75 dollars an hour for a good local 16 t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Interview with Eric McConnell |
| |
|
Ran into Eric McConnell over there on MySpace and he was kind
enough to agree to do an interview with me, so here it is!
OK, let's start with the basics. Tell me about your music.
Haha...you say "the basics" and hit me with the hardest question
first....I'm a Blues, Funk and old R&B guy with a guilty
pleasure for Rock..haha. During a live show we play a mix of
everything. From Stevie Wonder and Al Green to modern rock and
my original stuff. When I write, it's a bit different. I'm very
aware of song structures and the importance of getting your
point across quickly. My first solo album that's in the works
now is actually more Rock based with some Blues highlights. I'm
actually plann (read full article) |

| Article Title :: iPod Nano vs iPod Shuffle |
| |
|
The iPod Nano is the newest digital audio player from Apple. It
received an overwhelming welcome when it was released on
September 7, 2005 and quickly sold out completely in many Apple
Stores. The iPod Nano combines features from both iPod shuffle
and the standard iPod, and replaces the iPod mini. (The iPod
mini was discontinued as soon as iPod Nano had been released.)
Compared to the iPod shuffle, the iPod Nano is equipped with a
considerably larger flash memory despite being much smaller
physically. The first launch included two types of iPod Nano -
the 2GB and the 4GB. The 4GB iPod Nano is capable of storing up
to 1000 songs.
Since the iPod Nano is smaller than the full sized iPods, s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Songwriter Confessions #5 |
| |
|
The ghost of Bob Dylan breezed into the studio this week and
touched me on the shoulder. Lyrically, Bobby Zim has always been
right up there, although melodically he's down here with the
rest of us. I played in a folk group in the 60s around Britain
and in France and my mental repertoire of folk music often
helped me in spotting melodies that ole Bob had borrowed from
the folkies. For instance: the melody of Bob Dylan's 115th Dream
is a direct lift of a 19th century whaling song called Brave
Franklin (and His Gallant Crew). But music is full of
coincidences: ever notice that the verse chords and melody of
the Bellamy Bros' If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body and the
Eagles' Lying Eyes are ex (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Jam Band Writing Journals - Track Your Shows |
| |
|
Following jam bands is a blast because of the music, places you
see and cool people you meet. Jam band journals are great ways
to keep track of your shows.
Jam Band Journals
Undoubtedly, the Grateful Dead was the greatest jam band in
history, but others such as String Cheese Incident have carried
on the tradition. Whatever your favorite band is, think back to
the last show you saw. What sticks out in your mind? Now think
about the first time you ever saw the band. Do you remember the
set, people you met and so on? Probably not. The experiences
you've forgotten are lost to time. If you had kept a jam band
journal, this wouldn't be the case.
There are famous instances of people keeping jou (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Indie Artists Meet Clear Channel Execs |
| |
|
"What does it cost to get a record on the charts?" The question
was directed to Mike McVay, programming consultant to about 400
radio stations owned by media giant Clear Channel.
A hush fell over the audience, as this was a piece of
information that could determine the fate of independent artists
everywhere.
McVay pulled no punches. Depending on your genre, the amount is
"a hundred thousand dollars up to a quarter of a million."
And suddenly, the economic reality of the airplay portion of the
record business was in full view.
In a different part of the day's event, someone asked another of
those all-important, career-shaping questions: "How many slots

| Article Title :: Randall Flagg: Unique Jersey Metal |
| |
|
The members of RANDALL FLAGG may look like your typical New
Jersey guys, but once the band's vehement sound-a seamless blend
of hardcore and death metal-begins blasting from the stage, it's
apparent they're an extraordinary crew. Unabashedly
in-your-face, and yet melodic, the band's heavy, carefully
structured, technical songs deliver the emotional wallop and
carnal assault that has been garnering raves from New York and
New Jersey venues and a hearty, devoted fan base.
The multi-talented crew has continued to evolve since forming in
1999-not in only in its sound, but in its line-up. Consisting of
high school pals Adam Browning (vocals), Ryan Fleming (guitar)
and Babak "Bob" Davodian (bass (read full article) |
