Does anyone have a really, really good copy of the Bela Lugosi Dracula theme? It's the one from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet, but I don't know which specific act or piece. If so, please email it to me. kthxbai.

Was quite possibly the most epic hour-and-a-half-odd of my life. And I wasn't even there! Memoria.

Hay peeps People can like whatever they want. Stop putting down other people and the things they like. If you don’t like something someone else likes, say it nicely or else keep it to yourself. If you’re gonna put someone down because they’re not like you, then that’s reason enough for them not to be. Stop trying to force other people to like the things you like because their interests (be it musical, artistic, literary, anything) do not meet the standards by which you judge “good taste”. Bottom line? Respect other people and their interests. If you think something is “stupid”, “overrated”, or whatever- fine. But keep it to yourself. Even in private chats. Memoria.

So what does VF do in his afternoons...if you say he's drawing geek stuff, that's definitely right but just a part of the activities. He does play 1st Bugle in a Brass Orchestra as well ^^ And sometime in September we recorded our first CD! And I thought I'd share a treat with you...you should all know it. Mediafire Download And yes, the Solo trumpet in "The Medallion Calls"-part of the Medley is me. PS: Thanks to Nuhrii the Metruan for uploading this Enjoy!

I think I might go see them live in January. I've also talked with people who like the same music as I do, so I'm happy. Anyways, listen to Vampire Weekend. In fact you'll probably recognize A Punk from some commercial. I did. And Ezra is so cute. <3 Fake Fake (REAL) E: Oh and I've been playing games recently. I'm about to go into the Water Temple in Twilight Princess. I just beat the second Colossus in Shadows of the... can you guess it? yerp Colossus. I'm owning at swimming because I'm a junior. I've been meaning to talk to (I don't think I've mentioned her name yet on here, so) her about her swimming, cause she swims just like me and is pretty good. SHE IS ME IT'S SO ODD. IT SNOWED YESTERDAY AHHHH

Lately this album has been my "pick-me-up" CD for when I'm feeling down. Listening to it at the same time a few good friends try to make me feel better has been working great, and as a result I can't recommend it enough at the moment. It sounds like someone took the virtuosity of Steve Vai, mixed in the humour and irreverent charm of Frank Zappa and the experimentalism of a homemade album from the 80's. As it should, since it was recorded at home in 1983, and you can hear that, but for a homemade album from back then it's actually pretty good quality, which is also fairly uplifting in and of itself since I've been working at something similar, and was recorded by Steve Vai in a break from his touring with Frank Zappa, so the style does make sense. But yes, if you like Frank Zappa, Steve Vai or just want an album that'll make you smile, go pick a copy of this up.

I want to know from you guys whether it's worth pursuing or stupid. It's inspired by something I learned when I was about ten years old, on vacation back when the economy wasn't dead and people splurged on vacations and as such was at a five-star hotel at Niagra Falls. There was a magician performing there, and I learned something both through observing it and experiencing it. People love crowd interaction, getting to perform and listen at the same time, being part of the show without the spotlight burning on them. So, onto my idea. Essentially, a show where the audience is the band other than the guitar and lead vocals, singing the bassline, clapping and stomping the beat, and occasionally singing backup vocals. Is this a bad idea or am I on to something?

Would any of you be more interested in it if I told you my name was Jack Butler?

Is that of playing live music for people. A friend of mine was sick, and her band actually has a moderately-sized local fanbase, so they'd actually be disappointing people by canceling, so I filled in for her last night. Not only did the anxiety I thought I'd feel fade as soon as we hit the first note and people began cheering, making me feel like they were a friend rather than a critic, but you also play and feel differently when playing for people. It's much more exciting, much more entertaining and way more fulfilling, I think everyone who plays an instrument should feel it once.

I absolutely LOVE Christmas songs. That make me feel so cozy. But today in math, my teacher was playing some really pathetic Christmas songs...I'm gonna get together a better Christmas playlist together. Like, really...songs like Mary Did You Know aren't that wonderful. Christmas should sound happy, or at the very least inspiring. I get the message to the song and all, but I don't like how sad it sounds...and almost all the songs that played were like that.

Are comments like this, from people I consider friends no less; "Don't write lyrics, nobody wants to hear some kid whining about how their life sucks." "Just go instrumental, no one wants to hear more emo kids screaming about how they hate their parents." "Do videogame music covers, nobody wants to hear you talking about how you can't get a date." Just to start off, the last one isn't original, people have been covering videogame music with instruments in the instrumental rock genre for years. It's not a bad idea, but I don't understand why people are so proud of themselves for saying it. Right then, the main reason this annoys me is because of what people assume. Why is it just because I'm a young, modern musician, the assumption is that I'm a depressed kid who hates his life and whines about how horrible his family is? I don't give a **** if that's the modern mainstream, you can look over my lyrics, only once on a blue moon do I actually write something like that, and half the time when I do, the next morning I toss it in the trash because I can't stand behind it, and if I can't stand behind something, I'm not going to sing it. Otherwise you can see that I don't write that kind of stuff. I don't even look like the kind of person who would. I don't have black hair, I don't have eyeliner, I don't look depressed, I don't wear the kind of clothes associated with that kind of music. I'm 6'3", wear jeans, a flannel shirt, and a T-shirt, have poofy brown hair, would probably kill myself before I grow one of those idiotic-looking beard-things that's just around the mouth and nowhere else that a lot of modern musicians have, heck, I'd look like a member of Weezer if I wore a jacket instead of a flannel shirt and looked a few years older, and if you think the lyrics that Rivers Cuomo writes are meant to be depressing, you clearly speak before you think. I don't act like that type of person's stereotype either, I usually crack jokes and am amongst the first to offer people who are sad for some reason a hug, often have a smile and probably annoy people a fair bit now and then. Why the **** do people assume just because I'm a modern musician who doesn't always play a guitar that has a hollow body and no amplifier that I play that kind of thing? It's annoying and offensive to me. Just for the record, it's nobody who frequents my blog, it's one or two people who aren't here who are on my AIM list and a couple friends in real-life. As a result I probably seem like I'm overreacting, but god does this irritate me.

Why does he perform under that stage name? Aleksandar Živojinović is an awesome name, I'd go to see him even if I hadn't heard Rush just because someone with a weird, difficult-to-pronounce and un-mainstream name like that who's actually famous with popular culture probably can play.

So in art class, we started on our midterm, and we need to finish it by Friday. The entire class was silent, and everyone felt too awkward in the silence to pipe up. We're usually very chatty. So, I need to focus somehow on my drawing. Since we can listen to music, I put on my headphones and shuffled my songs. First one I got was "Never Gonna Give You Up." When it came on, I jumped in and was impressed with myself. So rickrolling oneself can be very useful. =D

So I think everyone's heard OneRepublic, whether it's Apologize or Stop and Stare...well, their new album, Waking Up, was released today and I'm incredibly happy about it. The first 6 songs seem like the concept part of the album, and the other six are more their usual style. So either way, new fans or old fans are gonna be satisfied with Waking Up. Definitely not a sophomore slump for this band. Oh, and Fall Out Boy's Greatest Hits album, Believers Never Die, was released to the US today. I'm hoping to pick up a copy for Christmas if they don't wind up sold out...

Blasting The Final Countdown makes everything more epic. And on that note I'm horrendously bored, singalong time! We're leaving together!

The AC/DC song It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll). It has bagpipes. Why? They're one of the original hard rock bands, and on top of that it's not like they're Irish, they're Australian. What prompted Bon Scott and/or one of the Young brothers to say "You know what this song needs? Bagpipes"?

THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME! MoSM (Master of Shadow Matoran) wrote it. It's song lyrics. He allowed me to post them here, thanks a lot for that NO PART OF THE GAME Once in the time of no memories When the world was fresh, born without a clue Nothing was hurt, there was no decease And in the middle was I, only thinking of you (You, you?) (What says you?) 'Coz I never was intended for you to see I know that´s not part of the game It goes against my forced philosophy On your love, I cannot claim (...No part, no part)(Not of the game we play) The ownership of which the value to me so true I´d happily sacrifice all of my life and lies It´s nothing anyway, indeed when I´m blue And nothing´s worth more than what things we could tie But I never was intended for you to see I know that´s not part of the game It goes against my forced philosophy My unbroken prison is a golden frame (...No part, no part)(Not any game today) Of which I cannot break loose No matter the strenght I posess In the end it all depends on what I´ll choose? Then how can it when I only choose the ends? (...ENDS!...) And I never was intended for you to see I know that´s not part of the game It goes against my forced philosophy Which, think about it, puts blame to my name (Blame to the name, to the name, what a shame) (...No part, no part)(This game with time you pay) I never lied, I try to be true, But nobody plays that non-played game like you (Like you) Like you (Like the one that plays) like you (Like the one that plays, like the one...)(Like the one, like the one) The one that plays my game is you (Not the one, I say I say)(The one, the one, the one today) You. *Semi-long Silence* *Sound of chains breaking*

The more I listen to Chinese Democracy, the more a third or so of the tracks seem like a big "Screw you, I was right, you weren't" to Slash. It seems that, considering Slash's book if I recall sold rather well, and he has plenty of big-names in the industry are guesting on his solo album, few agree with this sentiment. Probably doesn't help his case that Slash has said he's willing to reunite if the fans want it and Axl will do it, and Axl recently described Slash as a creative cancer. I swear I will do something violent if he gets inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame instead of the rest of the band. Or a reunited original lineup.
