Vancouver Canucks silence critics with 2-0 start....Sort of

               CANUCKS FACE BLUES IN CRUCIAL CONFIDENCE-SHOWDOWN TONIGHT AT RODGER'S ARENA vs. ST. LOUIS BLUES   Oct 18th, 2016      0-82!!!!              00% on the PP!!! GM admitted to group living center for "Slow" adults! I'm barely exaggerating in bringing up the level of caustic prophecy the NHL'as media pundits unanimously claimed for the 2016-17 version of the Vancouver Canucks. One would think that instead of actually hockey players, management had decided to ice a  collection of sex dummies, three legged dogs and Vancouver's perpetual good luck charm, a 50-something Mark Messier, from the apocalyptic predictions carried by nearly all credible media outlets worth mentioning.... ....and oh! How they mentioned! Any jack-off with an Ipad and no girlfriend was taking time out of his day to tell the Canucks highly disloyal fanbase (The truth hurts?)...

Why the Boss RC 202 looper is better than the 505 and how it helps the creative process.

With the Boss RC 202 Looper, there is both good news and bad news Bad news first? Ok... Sounds like poo 16-bit digital mud farts in my opinion going under standard with sound quality is stupid, because the people using this aren't guitar players looking to have chords back up their solos at the local unemployment office talent show , the people who buy this (me) are writing songs in a studio environment and would prefer not to have to re-track things But the good news is this: it doesn't matter, this thing is magic. EXCELLENT creative/writing tool. Also, this is awesome for DJ sets. If your live DJ mixer has an FX loop then this is all you need for Live Remixing. And the front end FX cover all the standard DJ FX for non-remix standard set FX. I do a lot of TV cues, that have pretty standard formats. So this thing has allowed me to make full use of my Korg Volcas, which are a pain in the ass to integrate. But with this thing, I track em' out part by part sticking to ...

Why Analog Synths matter and hippies do not

 Ok,   Here is what you Hippy's with your "It's about what you do with it maaaan" " "Make music not war" and "Who cares if it's analogue man, it only matters that it's groovey" augments don't get..... .....Many of us have tried to find free love with V.A synths, we found they left us limp flaccid and unable to fire our creative juices deep into the being-ness of others. In essence we agree, it's about the music you make with it, not how it works under the hood. But if you'll forgive me for sounding flippant....F$#king DUH!!! Of course it is......The problem is that through years of trail and error many of us have come to the conclusion that an Analog style synth needs to be analog or we aren't going to be able to turn on tune in or drop out. Let alone all three THAT is shy we lay bummers when stuff like this is released, we buy synths, a lot of them and it appears not only are our dollars being taken for granted ...

How to "make it" as a songwritter

Recently read an article on "Making it" in the Nashville music world. I know nothing about Nashville by I know a fair bit about being a professional composer/Song-writer. Here's what I say to the cowboys scavenging for the elusive "Deal" A lot of you are full of s%^t, everyone wants to be successful in their chosen field, "I'd rather work 2 jobs?"Gimme a break! And that by being unsuccessful that means you are glorifying god? Oh PLEASE! Some make it some don't some have intermittent success, I'm not in the NAS scene but I make my living writing elsewhere. You want the answer? Here it is.... ALWAYS be ready to walk out on this business if it doesn't deliver what you've worked for, NEVER be sitting around waiting for scraps from the music biz, it's waaaay too fickle a mistress, and doesn't care if you starve. You must stay in a position of power and never let it think you need it for anything. Then Pitch your goods (Which y...

The problem with original KISS drummer Peter CRiss

Post-Hall of fame the spotlight has glared most harshly upon the lack of digestible Peter Criss solo material Why through the years has Peter commanded less attention and respect than fellow KISS outcast Ace Frehley? After all, Peter isthe guy who wrote and sang KISS's biggest hit and break-through song "Beth" also arguably the best singer of the origin al four. Yet success has run from him faster than Peter from a metronome during his 25 years outside the band since he helped found it in 1973. For Peter ,the damage was done in '78 That is when he was allowed to do a solo record sorepugnantt to his fans that it ireparably damaged his brand andleftt his stock him a rung below Ace and not on the same planet as Gene and Paul. Peter was in the best shape of any of the four-member to capitalize on his solo record, had he chosen material that referenced Beth, Hard Luck Woman and some Kiss, Cheap Trick, Ramones style energetic catchy simple rock n' roll. ...

Are serial killers possessed? Why Jeffry Dahmer has me considering it

Jeffrey Dahmer, The name conjures a spine-chilling shudder for most mayber the shudder they felt when first informed of his Canibal/Rapist/Murderer's exploits in  MMilwaukeedurring the 80's and 90's. On the heionous scale only John Wayne Gay comes close, these men and thier exploits are horror movies in real time. One almost subconciouly catagorized thiers stories as morbid entertainment due to the fact that the aveage human mind simply cannot concieve of the condition nessasary for one of thier like to do the things these men like Dahmer did. Once the shudder completes it's circut it usually whipsaws the mouth of it's host to spill forth terns like "Sociopath, Monster,even Pience of shit cock-cooking faggot have been said shortly after his name is mentioned, but does the unarguably meek and mild Dahmer REALLY have what it takes to cross the neutral zone of?all things held sacred and commit the worst crimes one could imagine, let alone commit?. I'm...

AHL to develop my game? DEVELOP THIS ASSCLOWN!

          It sometimes seems that people think being sent down is like going to some never ending training camp where you can "Work on your skating" or "Develope your game" It's showtime down there as well, the coach needs to win to keep his job, the building needs to be full for people to be paid. In the minors your skills are assessed for what they are now and how they will best help the team make money. You can get pigeon-holed as a minor league role player really fas, and before you know it the NEXT wave of young guys come along and you are forgotten. You want to be a star? Act like your one! They send you to the minors, tell them to "F#$K off" You name stays in the news, people think you are important. Someone desperate for talent offers a deal. You get traded to a place where they give you an NHL contract. If you have precieved worth SOMEONE will be desprite enough to give you a shot, and sme...
