............i used to be in a carefully ghetto-rigged experimental electronic band called 9-volt haunted house............i was formerly 1/3 of a drone-based minimalist psychedelia outfit called colorforms. (http://www.colorforms.net) recently playing sax/electronics with the Hard Luck Trio (feat. eric koltnow on vibes & neil chastain on perc) i also perform solo & collaborative electro-acoustic improvisations at the drop of a hat, and will get around to getting some newly recorded solo music up here very soon . please click on "jacksmileymusik" at the top of my friends list to hear my solo works.
"The new humanity will be universal, and it will have the artist's attitude, that of the musician; that is, it will recognize that the immense value and beauty of the human being lies precisely in the fact that each individual belongs to two realms, simultaneously, that of nature and that of the spirit." - Thomas Mann

KittyKat to Satan Himself , ( Sally) wants you to join their band in Rockstars, a game where you can form bands with your friends and play gigs, battle rival bands, and become famous on MySpace!
If you haven't been to Music Street Journal lately, stop by and check it out. We've got so much great stuff in our members area that we've decided to make the archives free. That means you can still get access to a lot of exclusive stuff with your paid membership, but you can check out thousands of articles from the last 11 years for free. Where it says "more in the members area" it actually means just "more." The web guru hasn't had a chance to change that part yet.
Head over to musicstreetjournal. com and start exploring. Look under "artists" to find all the articles on your favorite band. Or look under issues to see all the issues we've ever done as they originally were. A note on that, though. Only the last couple years are organized that way. The earlier ones are done one year at a time - and anything from 1998 or 1999 is under issue 00 along with the articles from 2000.
silly brother, you think i could work in this industry this long and not see that great video...ah if only we could use that to train here! effin hilarious!
