I'm sick and FUCKING tired of the RI FUCKING AA.Ok, now that that's out of my system...This is getting ridiculous. I can't guitar tab online. Anywhere.I just bought the Foo Fighters Skin and Bones concert DVD. And, I just can't help wishing that I could play guitar like Dave Grohl. So, throughout the little intro to the concert, and the very first song they play, Dave is playing the main littl

I think that my first post on this thing was an AiC post, and now I'm back with some more. I've begun to think that their acoustic stuff (Jar of Flies, Unplugged) is in so many ways superior their more 'grunge' sounding material. If Nutshell doesn't give a little chill...I don't know what's wrong with you. For those of you who care, I actually managed to find a copy of the Jar of Flies cd on ...

Oh boy! I've always wanted to have a reason to tell the world that my opinions are better than theirs. It's the end of the year, and I can give you my top picks of albums and artists and stuff in several categories that I deem appropriate.Most Anticipated: Comatose by SkilletI've been waiting for this album since Collide came out. I'm a huge of fan of these guys (and girl) and I think this is

Some real music stuff. This [gear.ign.com] is just sad. I've heard lots of bad things about, but never really formed an opinion on them. This has just changed. If half of this is true, I hope that every executive at the RIAA burns in a (metaphorical) musical Hell for a very long time. Dastardly deeds aside, this could be the start of something very, very good for those of us who love music.

I really need to stop posting political commentary on my music blog...But all regret aside, this is a really good piece. No matter what you think of FoxNews, this piece demonstrates that their mantra of "fair and balanced" isn't really that off-kilter. They reported and wrote about good things in Iraq when things were good (relatively). Now, however things are looking worse and worse, and th...

I think the title of my post says it all. It's about time Al-Maliki kicks us the hell out of Iraq. I don't know yet whether I think it was right or good to go into Iraq in the first place (and I sure don't care what you think), but I'm glad that we can give them they're country back (I would like to believe better than we found it), and hopefully they will take care of it, and do some good in th

So, I've been picking on my dad's old Gibson acoustic guitar for a couple of months now, and I finally found a free weekend where I can stop worrying about maintaining a 3.0 GPR to take a lesson. I thought that I had developed the callouses necessary to play guitar and that the lesson would just be for learning, not some kind of ritual self-sacrifice. Boy, was I wrong. I walked in the room a...

So, what is the favored portable music player out there? My guess would, quite obviously, be the iPod, Apple's amazing little player that holds some ungodly amount of market share, like 83%. But, the Zune is coming out in a month of so, we may have a competitor, everybody says. But here's my opinion - if you say it's a competitor, it's not. The only thing that's gonna dislodge the iPod from i

Some time ago, I realized something interesting about my musical tastes. I only listen to stuff I can sing to (or want to sing to). So, even if the music is amazing, but the singer has a crappy voice, or I just don't like his voice, or if the singer is a girl, I don't want to listen to it. This isn't to say I'm sort of musical sexist, I respect plenty of female vocalists, but I don't really wan

Wow.If you've never seen a song performed with just an acoustic guitar and two guys drumming on dinnerware...you're missing out. I caught the end of an old SNL episode from maybe middle of '05 with Beck playing 'Clap Hands' from the deluxe version of Guero . There are no words to describe it. It sounded so natural, I wanted to get up and dance. Like every band in the world should embrace percu
