St. Augustine & His Rovers Dance Band - Onwu Ama Dike

(in post east of lagos from Spinning in Air. Download this at Amazon iTunes)

Its every musicians fantasy. The tour bus rolls up to the arena (full of groupies, beer and pizza). Fans are crowded out front hoping to catch a glimpse of Americas hottest band. The group is escorted to their dressing room (full of more groupies, beer and pizza). They enjoy the various pleasures of stardom while roadies set up the stage. Its show time. The artists take the stage. The crowd is screaming. The lights are glaring. The amps are humming. The drummer clicks off the first song and

You wake up in the back of your PT Cruiser. Your bass players elbow is in your ear and the drummers asleep on your foot. Youve eaten nothing for the last week but corn dogs and frozen burritos. This is not the tour you imagined. This is not your Lilith Faire. This is not your Lollapalooza. This is not your Warped Tour. This...sucks.

Every musician dreams of touring. Getting out of their same boring town. Trying their tunes out on new crowds, in new areas, for fresh faces. Bonding on road, writing new tunes in the motel room, free food, free drinks, getting paid, getting laidliving the life.

But the music biz is full of touring horror stories. Bands stuck on the road with no money to come home. Musicians not eating for days. Clubs canceling gigs the night of with no warning. Negative reactions from bar patrons and local bands. The list goes on.

So, how do you make sure that your touring experience is a positive one? What can you, as musicians do, to eliminate potentially negative experiences and create positive ones.

The following are a few tips that add success to your touring experience:

1.) Dont Plan A Tour Because Youre Unhappy At Home---Just as an affair will not fix the problems in a marriage, a tour is not the cure for: problems within the band, problems in the band members lives, or a general malaise for your local scene. A tour is strain and stress and loads of work. You should be excited, and enthusiastic and positive when planning.

2.) Over Prepare Before You Leave---You can never plan too much or take too many precautions. At home is the time to rethink ever scenario and arrange accordingly. Get the van tuned up. Pack extra emergency money. Bring a list of additional clubs in the area in case your gigs fall through. Pack extra strings and sticks. Bring a backup guitar. Pack extra merchandise. Bring emergency food/water. Pack extra batteries and power cords. Bring cell phones.

3.) Be Humble And Thankful---Youre in a strange town and a new club, act like a guest. Nothing ticks off a club owner/promoter whos taken a chance on an unknown band more than out-of-towners swaggering into a club like Paris Hilton in an episode of The Simple Life. No matter how cool you are in your own town, this is unproven ground and your first impression is important. Ask, dont demand. Set up quickly. Play at an appropriate volume. Clean up after yourselves. Be friendly and courteous. Say please and thank you. Unless youre booking in Jerkville USA, this positive attitude could set you well on your way to a repeat booking with better perks and more local support.

4.) Seize Every Opportunity---If youre going to take the time away from work, family, and the buzz youve built in your own music community to head out into the great beyond and conquer unknown landsyou might as well come back with something other than lovely memories and an out-of-state parking ticket. Youre in a new place and the possibilities are endless. Sell CDs. Sell T-shirts. Get new names on your mailing list. Solicit local reviews, interviews, and radio. Introduce yourself to other club owners for future bookings. Find out who books local festivals. Play an impromptu house party after your gig. Make new friends that can street team for you next time. Think of something I havent even written here and do it!

Dont Expect To Conquer The World In One Tour---Rome wasnt built in a day and neither will your touring empire be. Have fun. Enjoy each trip and using it as a building block to make each tour to that particular place better and more elaborate. Play your cards right, and after a few trips you may be making terrific money, have secured lodging (either new friends let you crash or a club pays for a motel), get food and drinks comped, and guaranteed press and radio coverage.

In short, touring can be the best thing that ever happened to your band if you work hard, play it smart, and follow through correctly. But no matter how much you love to tour, always remember to keep your foot in the door locally. Its the great work that you do at home that makes other clubs excited about you bringing your show to their town.

Did you know you can learn guitar at home, even if you've never held a guitar in your life? Whether you are picking up the guitar after several years or are a complete beginner there are several ways to get the most out of your guitar lessons.

Of course, you can hire an instructor and get personalized training. This can run into quite a lot of money and you will need to schedule the time for each lesson. For years this was how most people learned to play a guitar. Others were blessed with talented family members who passed along their talent for playing guitar.

Today the most popular method of learning is through online guitar lessons. These allow you to learn guitar at home, at your own pace. If you choose to learn from this method here are a few beginning guitar tips. Practise these tips until they become habit.

First, don't procrastinate! When learning at home it is easy to put off your lessons until later. If you are to ever learn guitar at home you must practise. Practise is the most important part of learning.

Find a good place in your home for your practise sessions. A room with no distractions such as a tv or telephone will work best.

Set aside a time each day for your guitar lessons. If you were paying a professional instructor you would have to be punctual. Don't cheat yourself by becoming complacent or lazy about when you practise.

You must recognize your own work habits. You, alone will know how fast you can learn. Each person will have their own way of learning. Adjust your practise sessions so that you can maintain them throughout the learning process.

Self discipline is a must. Good planning and goal setting will help make sure you follow through and actually do learn guitar at home.

I hope these few beginner guitar tips help. Nothing is more rewarding than relaxing with a smooth melody on your own guitar. Being self taught will make it even better.

If you are serious about wanting to learn guitar at home you will need a serious learning tool. For the easiest and fastest method of learning guitar check out Learn Guitar At Home. Simply the BEST Learn Guitar At Home method around. Check it out now!

Memorizing a rhyme to some people can be more difficult than writing a rhyme. Sometime the faster you write a rhyme the harder it is to memorize. It has many ways to make memorizing a rhyme easier to do. One why to make memorizing a rhyme easier is to re-write a rhyme word or word until you know it by heart. The disadvantage of this method is kind of time consuming but it is a sure way to make sure that you will know the rhyme for good.

The advantage about this method is it can be done anywhere once you have a pen and a pad. Another why to make memorizing a rhyme easier is to record the rhyme and listen it over and over. The best why to do this is to record ever for bars. The reason for this is a rhyme that you have not memorize is more difficult to record. When using this method your recordings don't have to be perfect, its just a rough draft to help you memorize. The disadvantage of this method is your may not able to
record anytime you want. The advantage of this method is that its the
fastest way to memorize a rhyme.

Unlike writing a rhyme over and over again this method is less time consuming and easier on your hands. No matter what method you chose to memorize your rhyme, the most important thing is to choose a method your comfortable with. If you use any of these method memorizing a rhyme will now seem easier and most of all less time consuming.

Snoop Dogg Feat. Everlast - My Medicine

OK I have tried to stay away from posting this but its just too damn good. Remember kidsrespect the copyright of others and delete this file after 24 hrs. The file is only for sampling.and that doesnt mean… (in post My Medicine from White Folks Get Crunk. )

One of my main passions is heavy metal music so I thought I would review one of my favourite albums by my favourite band, After Forever.

After Forever is a 6 piece female fronted metal band from the Netherlands. The names of their albums are Decipher, Prison of Desire, Exordium, Invisibe Circles, Remagine and After Forever.

1. Discord: This song is a great starter for the album. It includes both Floors vocals and Sander's grunts. The song starts with slow keyboards before going into the heavy guitars and Sanders grunts.

2. Evoke: I love this song, it starts off slow before suddenly going into Floors operatic vocals. When i first listened to this song i thought wow, amazing.

3. Transitory: This is a really heavy song and makes you just want to head band around your living room. It doesn't ease you into the heavy guitars like the previous songs it just goes straight into it. This also includes Sanders grunts as well as Floors vocals and if you're into your heavy music you'll love this song, its great.

4. Energize Me: This was the first song i heard of the new album as it was the first single taken from it and it made me even more excited to hear the rest of the album. It's not one of their heaviest songs but it certainly has its heavier moments and the chorus is really catchy.

5. Equally Destructive: Ahh now this song is totally awesome. I just love everything about this song. It's definately heavy, catchy and metal all at the same time. Floor has to be one of the best female vocalists in the metal world, she can do everything and she proves how good she is on every song, this is no exception.

6. Witherin Time: The beginning of this song is great. It's very operatic. Sander also uses his grunts in this song and this song has a bit of everything. Grunting, opera, guitars and an awesome finish.

7. De-energized: This song starts off very slow and i've always thought the beginning keyboards sounds like they could be in some kind of movie like maybe a comic book movie (x men, spiderman etc). It then goes into heavy guitars, guitar solo's and grunts. The song has different moods through out and it rocks!

8. Cry with a smile: After Forever always has at least one ballad on their albums and this is the first ballad on here. It's such a beautiful song, the lyrics are so moving "Why is there pain in a beautiful moment, who do i feel so lost, so empty?"

9. Envision: Back to another heavy song that immediately goes into the guitars and keyboards.

10. Who i am: This is a duet between After Forever and metal singer Doro. It's an awesome song that shows just how good Floor and Doro are and how their voices fit so well together.

11. Dreamflight: After Forever usually have at least one long song on their album and this is it. This song is just over 11 minutes long but it doesnt lack anything because of the length. It's also the only song on this album where Bas has a solo, it includes vocals by Floor, Sander, Bas and a choir in one song. It has ballad parts and heavy parts, now this song really does have everything.

12. Empty memories: This is the second ballad on the album but still includes guitars, it's failry slow and beautiful.

13. Lonely: This is a bonus track on the album and include Joost on the keyboard and Floor on vocals. It's a ballad and its so beautiful, definately the most beautiful song After Forever have done i think. You actually think Floor is in so much pain when listening to this song and she must have been going through something really hard when writing it.

All in all the albums is awesome and i love every song on it.

Hollywood Undead - Is This What Passes For Music These Days?

If you've never heard of Hollywood Undead until now I should really apologize for bringing them to your attention at this time.

They are a music group that has become one of the most popular "artists" on MySpace. This may be the single most damning fact of young people's taste in music ever presented. Or at least one assumes they have become popular due to young people. It's hard to imagine anyone over 15 listening to this music without breaking into uncontrollable laughter.

Why is that? Because as I wrote at the MusicByDay.com blog, Hollywood Undead is the worst music of all time. It is the combination of every cheesy element in popular music from the past 15 or so years. It's some sort of ungodly mix of boy band music with "street" lyrics and screamo shouting.

And yet as I write this they are the #4 ranked unsigned "artist" on all of MySpace. Looking at the other top "artists" (and yes I insist on putting "artists" in quotes over and over again as it's an absolutely ridiculous word to use to describe these folks) you can see that Hollywood Undead is certainly not the only one who sucks mighty. In fact it appears that only musical acts/groups that are incredibly bad have a shot at making the top artist list.

Garbage sells and it has for some time. I suppose that's nothing new.

What is it that Hollywood Undead that sets them apart? What is it that has me writing articles about them? It's that they are so unbelievably awful that one has to believe it's some sort of joke. And yes I think there is some evidence that this is actually all an elaborate joke. A joke on the people that actually listen to this and think it's real music. But then there still lies the issue. There are thousands, maybe even a million or more, people who listen to Hollywood Undead and think "this is really good."

That concerns me greatly. I just don't understand how this garbage can pass for really good music to these folks. Have they really not experienced any actual good music in their lives? That's the only thing I can think of that explains it. For anyone who has heard real music, Hollywood Undead is laughable garbage. So these people must have never been exposed to it. That's the only explanation I can think of.

If you go to the blog (http://www.MusicByDay.com) where I posted my article on Hollywood Undead being the worst music of all time you can see that there are currently over 100 comments that are mostly from HU fans saying that Hollywood Undead is in fact good music. It just blows my mind. I have a very hard time understanding how anyone could listen to this music and not think it is merely a joke.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have any answers, only questions. How is it that such an awful group has so many fans yet there are many talented unsigned bands/artists that get no attention at all?

Leslie is a contributer to the MusicByDay.com Blog where she has written an article about Hollywood Undead called "Hollywood Undead - The Worst Music Ever?"
