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 didn’t know about this. Share This Related posts www dot googleporn dot com [...] → Read more

My kids are currently watching, again and again and again, Disney’s Treasure Planet, and are totally fond of “Jim’s theme”, a pretty cool song actually (”I’m Still Here” in the English release, or “Je suis là” in the French (Quebec) version they’re watching). They like this song so much that I thought it would be [...] → Read more

This is hilarious, and then beyond hilarity you realize this is quite a performance: your old rock & heavy metal tunes, “hand fart” style! (ok, seems it’s also called manualism but that doesn’t sound as funny:) This crazy guy plays The Trooper (Maiden), Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Crazy Train (Ozzy) or Sweet Child O’ Mine (Guns) with [...] → Read more

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

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

My latest musical craze is a damn funny metallish band named Bloodhound Gang. Their music really fits my taste, with a lot of heavy and fat guitars, but once you pay attention to lyrics, you cannot help but smile, then laugh, then play it again :) The band really gives the impression they’re doing all this [...] → Read more
