I work in the music industry, am a musician, a CrossFitter, and generally interested in human development in all aspects. I'm also immature and love laughing at things like poop jokes.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The new Hendrix album is really great. It’s mixed to sound TOUGH, it’s in your face, there’s no crazy stereo effects… It sounds like a Black Keys album. There have been dozens of posthumous Hendrix releases, most of them reshuffling the same catalog of unpolished jams, but this is an important document. The way I see it, the records that spell out the Hendrix legacy are “Are You Experienced”, “Axis: Bold as Love”, “Electric Ladyland”, “Cry of Love” (or whatever re-release contains those tunes), “Band of Gypsys” and now, “People, Hell and Angels.” This is one of the best sounding albums I’ve heard in a long time, and it’s the most blistering Hendrix sound recording to date.
I would love to hear the three studio releases with this treatment… check out Axis: Bold as Love vinyl LP in MONO if you want to hear Hendrix in a similar fashion…
When John Mayer recommends an album, I’m never disappointed.

I’m on several lists for marketing emails, all kinds of “musician tips” emails, and also on a freelancer email list. This morning I open my inbox to find a huge email from Elance. I’ve never gotten a job on there, partially because I haven’t paid to verify myself and I also haven’t really taken…

Cute. I enjoy a good passive aggressive bullet point list as the next but come on. The photographer’s a big ol’ liar — that’s why he deserves the hate he’s getting. He saw an opportunity to make a buck. And for people to not recognize that and actually believe the “using a flash” story is absolutely amazing to me. I am not saying he was close enough to physically help in time. And I have no idea what other people were doing. But “NY Post photographer attempts to get the conductor’s attention with his camera flash” is SUCH horseshit. If we’re going to discuss media ethics then at least don’t fucking lie about how the picture came into existence.
Since when do we expect truth and ethics from the media?
