Yo! Mtv raps Kicks

 Don't have an Image just trust me on this one and check out the site , the shoes are smokin hot!

Soundgoodizer!!

 So, the new fruityloops studio is out (FL Studio 8) and out of the box, one new plugin that I have been playing with is the 'Soundgoodizer' lol.  I am starting to think that Imageline will one of these days create a plugin that pre-makes beats for you. I must say though that the soundgoodizer is not soo bad it's actually good.

 Basically the soundgoodizer is a mastering exciter/limiter plugin. I just made a beat and slapped it with the soundgoodizer, I didn't use any other master effect except waves' Ir1 reverb for reverb. 

 Have a listen to it on my last.fm player, "beat soundgoodizer''.....

Kanye Universecity

Hey Kanye's site looks really cool. I mean Kanye has to out-do everyone else doesn't he?

Jimi Hendrix Sextape!

Ok this interesting,
Apparently( as reported by Perez Hilton) a new celebrity sex tape is out, but this ain't 'yo mommas' celebrity sex tape. It stars none other than the guitar legend himself, Jimi Hendrix!
According to the site that is marketing the tape http://www.hendrixsextape.com/, Jimi was as passionate playing the guitar as he was at love making.
On a serious note though, as interesting as it might be (to some people) to watch 'Mr. Jimi' doing his thing, apparently with two women( lol, wickid!!, ahem excuse me ladies!), I am not sure what this tape will do to his image, not that he cares- he's long gone, but still. Jimi Hendrix never hid the fact that he loved the ladies, but actually watching him do it might take away something from that (mysterious) side of him.
Interesting still, I am not sure which will get more searches on torrent sites between Jimi Hendrix's sex tape and GTA4 (Grand Theft Auto 4) which is out too, I am going with GTA4 though.

.......trying to learn 'Hey Joe' on the guitar, again!

:)


NB: It might be a fake, that dude curiously looks like a Jimi Hendrix double.

The stones rule!

Damnn, 'am soo back! I felt like I was thrown in a pit (exactly like the one in MK4 ) thing is, I felt like I was just spiralling downwards never reaching the ground. Well, now am on the ground and, I am safe ;).
Part of what brought me back up, as cliche' as it may sound, is some self-help book. Another part is that as I was reading, I was simultaniously listening to 'The last time' by The Rolling stones, and actually that's the interesting part, coz the song isn't the most uplifting song in the world but it just lifted my spirit as I played it over and over and over...and am here happy as a gay bird! lol

Musician vs P2P vs Major lable vs ............

The advent of p2p file sharing, social networking
sites, and web 2.0 in general has definitely changed
the way people listen to and share music, amongst
other things. Personally as a musician and a lover of
music, I am, in way, torn between empathy towards the
musicians who really work their tail off to make good
music, and freedom for fans who now have more choice
over a variety of music which they can access free of
charge.
You may argue that it's not fair for someone to take
someone else' work without paying for it, you could
also argue that p2p file sharing has taken the middle
man (major labels) out of the picture, which now
gives musicians direct access to their fans. Anyway,
whichever side of the fence you're on I think it's
imperative as an artist, especially an up-and-coming
artist, to get web savvy.
P2p file sharing helps you spread your music, social
networking sites help you reach more people etc.
These tools are important to the modern musician, if
fully explored they can be beneficial rather than
harmful. Most 'big name' musicians(The Rolling
Stones, Jay-Z, Madonna, 50 cent,and the like) make
most of their money not through direct sales of
CD s(or downloads) but by spreading their brand and
monetizing in other ways, It's all in the brand!.
Basically what 'am trying to say is that the days of
just concentrating on the art and hoping to get a
record deal(if you're lucky that is) are really over.
But even if you're already signed, ignoring market
trends can be harmful if you want to make a living
out of your music, that is, make money through your
music.
I'll be featuring important software, social
networks, interesting sites and other relevant stuff
to help you better position yourself in this changing
market, So please stay in touch. You can also
subscribe (for free, of course !) to my blog and get
updates without visiting the site at all, bookmark me
all the same! :)
