BTW, everyone watching the Grammy's tonight keep an eye out for two things I have connections to. Well, if the Grammy's return to the "Awards presented earlier include" with the quick scroll that is.

Best Contemporary World Album:

Paco DeLucia - "Costias Buenas" -- I worked on the promotion of this album. INCREDIBLE flamenco guitarist. THis is our only nominee this year. Last year, we had 4, but we kept going against members of the Buena Vista Social Club -- in other words we had no shot.

Also, I believe it's "Best Historical Album", but David Glasser who works at AirShow Mastering here in Boulder (and right next door to my internship) is up for an award on re-mastering a bunch of old historical albums for a box set. He's already won twice, so hopefully he can add a third tonight. Very cool guy.

Should be interesting to see. Green Day might be hurt by the fact it's so political. I think Kanye West is due for a big night.

Yeah, that's a tough one.

I occasionally run into the same problem with students in his age group.

I don't try to dictate musical tastes to them, but I try to emphasize that, if someday they get serious and decide to pursue music as a career, then stylistic versatility and skills like sight reading, theoretical knowledge, etc., will make them more employable and translate to more $$$.

There are only so many openings for the position of "rock star," and it's good to have a contingency plan for when your 15 minutes are up.

Try teaching a kid that wants to rock on the drum set how to play a mallet instrument. That's a fun one.

Anyone have a recommendation on Buddy Holly? I really need to learn more about him. I love "Peggy Sue", but that's all I've really heard.

Yes, I know this makes me a bad musical elitist.

[kent156]

First off, there's no such thing as a "bad musical elitist"....I freely admit that when it comes to this stuff, they don't come much more elitist than I....call it a fault or whatever, but I tend to think of it as a virtue.

Now onto your question for Buddy Holly....seek out From The Original Master Tapes not only one of the best sounding Holly "best of's" out there, but the one that delivers almost all of the goods you really need without being a completist. Plus, as an added bonus, I think you can get it on the cheap nowadays, giving it even more of an edge.

Hope that helps.

Fellow metal friend,

Check out Mudvaynes new CD "Lost and Found." It's not out until April 12th, but they have 2 songs out there and probably can get more if you download them.

They tear it up in this one, Mudvayne kicks ass.

nine out of ten times i have a burnt cd in my car stereo, which, other than my computer, is really the only place that i listen to music. i do, however, have twista's "kamikaze" playing in there now.

Rick Martinie(bassist) does tear it up, plays a 6-string bass which is rather uncommon(I believe most are 4 or 5 strings.) Matt McDonough is exceptional on drums as well, which is why I orginally started listening to them.

Personally, I like their ona nd off kind of style, they'll play a full out aggressive song like "Dig", then come back with a overall solid song like "Death Blooms" and then have a slow to fast then back to slow then back to fast song like "Nothing to gein", just a real cool difference in their music.

"Determined" and "Happy?" are the 2 song that are out now, determined is jsut an agressive ass song like Dig was, Happy is more of a "Not Falling", where it's never slow but doesnt really get THAT intense.

Couldn't find From The Original Master Tapes, and I searched all of the stores in town, even the ugly chain ones. So I gave up and grabbed a used copy of Greatest Hits from MCA. It has "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day" and "It's So Easy", so I'm happy.

As for no such thing as bad musical elitist, I really am. I have an elitist attitude, but I also enjoy some real crap. Plus, I've been blessed with an UNCANNY ability to tolerate pop music -- my friend once dared me to sit through an entire "Top 25 Countdown" on the radio once and I did it without flinching. He left after 4 songs. Probably good considering the career I want to go into.

Pop isn't bad if it's done well. The beatles were/are pop - INXS (i dig them) -

Well, when you're dealing with an artist like Holly (meaning a limited catalog) almost any "Best Of" package will do. You'd have to be a pretty maniacal audiophile to notice the difference in the sound now anyways.

As for no such thing as bad musical elitist, I really am. I have an elitist attitude, but I also enjoy some real crap.

So do I. "Enjoying some real crap" means "Guilty Pleasure" to me. I'm a sucker for Bubblegum Pop of the 60's and 70's and have a ton of it in my collection....you know, stuff like songs from The Banana Splits TV show or songs like Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes..that kinda thing. Yeah, it raises some eyebrows from time to time, but I don't care....I mean, why should I?

The hilarious thing about that stuff is that if you listen to it now, most of the backing tracks rock harder than almost any pop music (and some supposed rock) released over the last twenty years or so.

Back in the day, I used to listen to "Lookin' In," "Hellbound Train," "Raw Sienna," etc. SB was definitely an example of British blues rock at its finest.

John Mayer and Kanye West working together. Watch the video, it's hilarious.
