From Playing The Guitar to Creating a Song in the Program
The journey from playing a guitar to creating a full-grown song using a software program can be an exciting adventure for any musician. Many guitarists start with the joy of strumming a few chords, but few discover that there’s much more to music. Traditionally, digital music production opened up a world of creativity , allowing you to integrate your guitar riffs with various instruments , sounds and effects.

Franz Ferdinand - The Human Fear in Review
Although I said as part of my ABCommunities Challenge (thanks again, John Cox), that I would try and do something a little different for any communities I've written before in a few times, I love this album so wanted to talk about it.

Peace Vibes 2
With Part Two of the EP Trilogy of lyrics, the waves become more clear as the wet suit takes on the wave itself. The whole actualized experience of meditation in a form, meaning the flow can be controlled by the apple now floating depicted by levitation and also means, a lift in meaning. Abundance is also present in more lyrics and different languages. So, let's begin then in explanation.

Kream Catapult into 2025 at Prysm Nightclub - Chicago
Whoa! I cannot believe how insanely quick this year has passed us by. I feel like just a second ago I was blasting KREAM in my apartment, getting ready for their show at the Concord Music Hall during a cold, frigid February night in Chicago. That night catapulted me into a sequence of thoughts about my direction in live music coverage. I obviously missed it immensely, but also couldn’t help but notice that the EDM scene has vastly changed since my prime. Nevertheless, as soon as I was ready to head for the door, I encountered a girl who can be easily described as “the rave mom”. She was beautiful, but most importantly she was kind and unequivocally exhibited the good ol’ mantra of PLUR. Peace, Love, Unity and Respect…Something I was certain we’ve lost, but no…through the Liquid Lab visuals, deep house basslines, groovy and catchy rhythms complimented by some of the most chilling vocals, the power of PLUR was not omnipresent. We still had it.

SHUFFLE ALL
It’s the end of November, I’m drinking cold brew, and starting this out on my phone. My laptop died a few days ago, so I’m resorting to this alternative method. Hopefully it’s just an issue with the power cable, and not the laptop itself (I’ll know in a few days when the replacement cord arrives). Otherwise, I’ve more than likely lost the drawing I was working on. Downside of digital art. But I have my notebooks, sketchbook, and phone, so I can still work on some things and try not to think about how fast this week off of work went by. Part of me is dreading going back on Monday. But I told myself I wasn’t going to think about that. It’s the end of November and I’m in a coffee shop listening to Fu Manchu and trying to stay inspired.
