Hello !
I try to dig my way through the guitar scene .
One thing at a time , but it's about time ;)
Expressing myself on the acoustic guitar is the most important thing in my existence. I enjoy many aspects of life .. playing guitar ( duh ), the sweet secrecy of discovery as I compose, women, to seduce and be seduced by a charming and fine woman ,lips , green eyes, stargazing , raingazing , mornings, reading Boris Vian, the music of the wind, camomilla tea , comfortable sofas, wearing sober clothes, autumn's colors, adrenaline rushes, being absorbed- out of this world, Paris, Spain, medieval stuff, Scotland, excel chewing gum, showers , world of warcraft, play rogues in WoW, mmorpgs, a cheerful audience, to anticipate something great, hope , real love, live shows, honesty , sex, authenticity, starting lists, travelling, world quality coffees , imported european beers , chess , The Simpsons, 24 ,chatting online with mature people, rain ( obssessed with rain ) , walks outside , playing guitar in the parks , toasts , mashed potatoes , sausages ( merguez,italian), italian food, intelligent cinema , Elixir strings, AER amps , my Kingslight guitar Elora, authentic people , smiles that speaks , sights that seems everlasting, Shakespeare , hockey, authenticity , David Lynch Movies, Christopher Nolan movies, Stanley Kubrick movies , Oliver Stone movies, Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu movies, Tim Burton movies, Charlie Kaufman screenplays ( yeah I love cinema ).. Best movies I have ever seen are Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind , Memento , 21 Grams , Mulholland Drive, Little Miss Sunshine... although the list is much longer but hey, these are the best ! There is also thing in life that I cannot stand , that drives me nuts , that are - to me- pure abbherations .. Being cheated on , dishonest womens , when it's too hot or too cold , a good part of my past, golf , curling , hip hop , country music , electronica music , RnB, every artist/bands in this world who contempt themselves in reproducing instead of fully creating, corruption , ending lists, brainwashed people who can't see the difference in between realism and pessimism, my insecurity, my lack of self-esteem, planes/flying, human stupidity and the fact that we complicated everything, the fact that m.. life, someone who ignores me willfully, winter , tv soaps, opera, to wait on food that's cooking when I starve, artificiality, days when my hands wont play guitar as I'd like em to, being out of coffee/milk/bread/butter/cigarettes/toilet paper, people who have no arguments on anything and just say :" Yeah I agree with you" out of anything to say on the subject, arguing over the phone , feeling lonely, most hollywood blockbusters , newspapers cinema critics, most dogs, being somewhat hypochondriac.
I am 28 years old , was born in the province of Quebec , Canada. I now live downtown Montreal and I like the place but I hate winters with a passion..
I'll leave the rest of me up to mystery.. !
Before I play your music for my friends, the first thing I say to them is check out this "band". I play whatever song I select, then bring them to Youtube and show them your percusienfa video and swear up and down you are only one guy and one guitar making all that fantastic noise. Just curious why Percusienfa wasn't in the playlist to add to my music player??
Hiya I just uploaded another track from my debut album "This is Joy" called Sympathy. Sure have a listen and if you enjoy feel free to leave a comment. All my best, James.

I stopped by to introduce myself, I am Emiel, a new programmer for C-tv. I'll be scouting for bands in the Hardrock / Metal scene, and everything that is related.
So if you know a band, that in your opinion needs promotion, let us know!
With kind regards Emiel v/d Ploeg www.cineversity.tv
