One week after AC/DC’s Black Ice Tour in Paris, I’ve had yet another musical rendez-vous: Hellfest Open Air 2009 (momentarily closed as of writing), a music festival held about 30 kms from where I currently live. I’ve seen live on stage: Share This Related posts Station Ripper : “Ca Déchire” (1) Rediscovering Master Satch (1) Pachelbel Canon – Guitar Version [...] → Read more

Why I get to my computer in the morning, especially if I’m a little tired, I like to spend the first minutes doing something that will, like, concentrate the Universe’s energy in my body before I can get any work done. Or something like this :) Sometimes it’s just listening quite loud to one particular song [...] → Read more

A post that’s not about WordPress but, hey, it’s about Jazz, so I’m not that far :) One of my sisters works for the (French) National Jazz Orchestra and so I was invited to one of their concerts, featuring their album named Close to Heaven: A Led Zeppelin Tribute. Oh my. I know nothing about [...] → Read more

I just found out about Google’s Music Search (example). Don’t expect anything to find illegal MP3s (although Google can be used for this) but this is a neat tool when researching about a band: their discography, album names and release dates, reviews, even lyrics.

I’ve just spent half an hour on Youtube watching Air Guitar videos, and boy I laughed hard:) Basically, it’s playing the guitar, except you have no guitar. And they make local, regional, national and eventually World Championships [...] → Read more

Headbanging link of the day: MetalAd creates a skyscraper-like banner from your heavy metal tastes (as stored by Last.fm). (my metal ad for instance). The generating PHP script is even open-sourced.

I’m the kind of guy who listens to one and the same band over a period of time. Like, I find a CD I had forgotten for a long time, or a mismoved mp3 directory buried deep somewhere in my hard drive, and I go “hooooooo I love them” for a week. This time, and for [...] → Read more
