So the Ex-RollingStone is not coming this weekend. That means I get to play with this guy…
More songs to remember in 2 days, ah, the luxury of problems
Reading his Biography is not good for my health…

2 occasions in one week, goodie goodie! It’s been 5 years since wordpress came on the interwebs… To me the best thing that happened to the bloggosphere ever. But what do I know?
The other occasion is very near and coming this sunday.

In the meantime gaze your eyes over this record…

Like the title said, but I’m working really hard to get it up here. This picture is a direct hint. This is exactly how it’s going to sound. Stay tuned for ‘Groovy day’.

Yes, you read it correctly: Manic Monday Will Return!

This song was originally recorder by ‘Bimbo Jet’ a French group in 1975. This was played a lot by street musicians and I can see why; this is just a melody that can haunt you for a long time. It sounds instantly familiar. This version is by the Top of the Pops orchestra.
From an era where instrumental singles could turn into world-hits…sigh… someday Allice, someday…

I’ve got proof!

These thing pop up a lot lately. Press some buttons, drag the sliders to mix a little and off you go.

Now only a way to combine and record them all, and the internet is my next daw.

This is a dutch list, that is used to estimate the loudness of the pieces…

The works marked red are the most stressful for your ears. Had Beethoven lived in this century I think he would’ve got a fine for composing the ninth, and had the musicians union all over him. We don’t care how good the piece is, it is too loud!
also: I’m sorry sir, but you can’t get an insurance if you keep playing music this loud. I suggest you start smoking.

Schnauzer is getting angry again… The fact that somebody in an office got paid for typing this list boggles my mind.

Manic Monday will be back up soon.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

This clip is from -according to IMDB- the most incoherent low budget movie of the 60s. Sounds good already doesn’t it? ‘Rat Pfink a Boo Boo’ is a movie about… ehm… nothing really. It doesn’t even try to have a decent story line. I’m always in for a little confusion on a Sunday afternoon, so there you go.

Yes, you read it correctly: an acoustic guitar. Phew…
Imagine getting a proper amp for an electric guitar that size..
