shame

Motown office from 1968-1972 was knocked down recently to make room for superbowl parking. officials did'nt even bother to clear it out.

one man bluegrass band

Crazy banjo playing n' foot guitar from this guy here.
No vid clips unfortunately.
1 audio track.





found viahttp://www.kittyspit.net/mp3/textlinks.htm

wipers

Reading something reminded me of this band so I went on a bit of a search.
Difficult to track down many people hosting audio.
Could'nt find "youth of america" the track that we used to listen to
15 years ago.
very influential band.

website with tantalising audio snippets
http://www.zenorecords.com/

someone hosting a song at
http://www.geocities.com/offmylawn/

and 2 tunes on someones webjay page (I'm not too keen on "is this real")
http://webjay.org/by/salishsea/found

keep on searchin'

update: found more at

Amazon uk have the box set. 1st3 albums. at £18 +free del, it's cheap, but not as cheap as direct from zeno records($17) but that's an international buying thing.
The huge link that buggers up this blog is in the comments at the strange reaction page.

guitar suite

This is a pretty good set of freeware plugins that emulate classic guitar amps and stomp boxes.
I'm particularly keen on the two amps.
A nice sounding fender twin sim,
and a very good sounding marshall head sim which, to my ears at any rate, sounds
indistinguishable from the one I used to use back in the dim and distant way back day.

guitar suite dl page

Simul analog home page

honourable mention

I've mentioned music thing several times before .
Now this blog has a name check on there.
Very flattering.
Cheers tom.

Some very funny answers made by people taking music exams here

Refrain means don't do it. A refrain in music is the part you'd better not try to sing.

great stuff at RecordBrother

Now and again whilst trawling about you find a bit of a gem. RecordBrother is one such.
Theres a lot of stuff on here, entire albums worth of scratchy vinyl, like cool sounding blacksploitation film soundtracks . It's one of those sites that have evrything in a great big long page, so it's almost impossible to find a particular thing on returning .








Theres a link to some great little video clips of Django Reinhardt in action.http://www.about-django.com/news/videos/videos.php
Check it out

astonishing turntablism

Wandering round youtube again, I found this video of world champion battle dj ie.merg.
Most impressive.

eerie nostalga

project c90 site was down(or was it me?). It's working again now. One great big long page of old cassettes.
or the organised home page

gray tuesday

Downhill battle have links to the tracks on this album.

Also via downhill battle I found this site with some interesting music.

autoburroughs

Have included a new feature at the bottom of the page.
Its a quite interesting automatic gibberish generator I stumbled across at
http://douweosinga.com/
It's a google hack this guy made, and while it's obviously hit and miss there's some odd moments .
For instance I typed in "whenever I feel" and it continued with "like a woman" (!?!**)
and then went on to proclaim " there's no such thing as a free download" (?!?**)
Odd stuff indeed.

e-sheep

Some excellent ecomic stuff at e-sheep http://www.e-sheep.com/

It's back!

Whilst browsing around youtube I rediscovered this which I linked to months ago but it went dead. Watch at your peril. Tina Turner will never sound the same again.
(Surely that's a good thing?)

Also on youtube finely crafted guitar pop from japanese veterans
The Pillows.

music vids

a good site for interesting music vids is antville

I liked the one from menomena

Some quite funny sending up of metal at imockery.com

boiling pot

Glad I discovered this site .
To me , it's what the internet should all be about .
I was trying to think of a possible different use for this.
It's a new life organising thing.
It reminded me of a giant sequencer somehow.
Then creativity ran dry.
So I did a search and found creativity pool.
There's people posting ideas a lot less vague than mine

Increasingly I am using this blog as an alternative to bookmarking as my boookmarks become more and more out of control.
At least it's useful for something.
