DARK FOREST!

October 31st, 2007

I’m very very busy with the Kancil Awards website now. Work for the Kancil Annuals have not started yet.

Just click on the link below to listen to a song that expresses my current feelings:

It’s all guitars.

Edit: I realized I forgot about the bass guitar for the song.

Latest guitar teacher

October 27th, 2007

Meet Dave Weiner, my guitar tutor for the past few months. Dave has been touring with Steve Vai for the past 8 years upon Steve’s request and has been making wonderful music since.

After realizing that I couldn’t really commit myself to attend lessons, I realize I needed to do something before my hobby goes down the drain. I turned to Dave’s Riff of the Week using ITunes to download these weekly Podcasts. They have been of great help in refreshing on the basics and kerning beats and notes on the fretboard. I don’t really follow every lessons thought directly but they do keep my mind fresh about how things should be approached in music.

Upon getting an old nice and sweet sounding Yamaha F-20 guitar amp last week, for only RM180, I’m recharged after not having an amplifier for the past 4 years.

Last week, Riff of the Week saw it’s 100th episode on-air.

P.s: Other that Riff of the Week, I also subscribe to Typeradio and have discontinued some other subscriptions due to limited space on my Mac. :(

This is probably the coolest issue for this year other than the David Gilmour issue. You can check the preview of the October issue DVD here.

So cool.

21st Century Schizoid Man

May 14th, 2007

In the Court of the Crimson King

I love this song. Available on King Crimson’s 1969 album here. Got any idea on the meaning of the lyrics?

Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.
