Lyrics

Have you ever been sitting around the house and come up with lyric ideas? I'm in the proccess of writing lyrics for a song i made and i have discovered, through a little browsing on my hard drive, i have written many. have you written lyrics or a poem that you think would be cool to share? or are there any lyrics from songs you already know that stand out or relate to you? if so please share perhaps we could all discover amazing lyrics...

What's hot

Recently browsing through my playlist of 10,000+ songs i realized i couldn't figure out what was the new trend. what the new pop music is. We all know indie is hot but is it starting to die out? let me know aht you think

I also will be linking my blog to a youtube page in the comming weeks as i will be producing alot more and have just purchased a few new microphones Shure sm57's and 58's

Small Town Industry

In the news we all here about the justin beibers and mind blowing rebecca blacks but what is the small town industry doing?

Being from a small town in Canada, the industry has a different light then what we all read, hear or see in the music industry of today. There are pros and cons to this, a pro would be that there is rom for the small town to have its own music scene and promote its local bands. A major con is that most small town bands do not get the exposure they deserve. its sad how some bands can sell out shows and be the talk of the area as an amazing band or a must see but all the media sees is the beiber and rebecca blacks. Being that these are whats "hot" is somewhat frightening but continues to give me hope for the small town.

All in all even if the "Media" industry's music is mainly garbage at least i know i can fall back on local music to save the day.

Possible management?

hey guys I've been busy lately debating on managing a band in my local area called Bryden Avenue. I'm looking for a bit of feedback. they just finished recording their debut album. Their Myspace posted below contains a song they played live at a local cafe. whats your take? would you buy their music? would you like to hear more? any feedback is good feedback

Benefit stuff

Hey guys,

Sorry i haven't posted in a while I've been overloaded with school projects and still have alot left to do. with the earthquake and tsunami in japan I've decided to dedicate this post to change. this post is going to talk about songs that have helped disasters. The first that comes to mind is K'naans Waving Flag that was remastered by over 50 Canadian artist and all the monies received from the song were given to Haiti. do you know any songs or artists that have helped with disasters?
