I just wanted to play and make something I could listen to without cringing, this guy wants to change the face of music and create a "new style". Well, in this day and age where it seems that everything is derivitive of something else, an hommage, a mash up or maybe just ripped off; this man and his band will create something new. How can you do this? Well his plan includes the frequent use of falsetto, a drummer that plays good beats on time and for people who don't think the bassist is important? Well, he's gonna make them think twice.<br /><br /><a href="http://moncton.kijiji.ca/c-community-artists-musicians-Musicians-wanted-for-a-band-big-project-W0QQAdIdZ263274964">HERE </a>is the kijiji ad from a 17 year old in New Brunswick who will work harder than anyone to make his dream come true.<br /><br />Now, I in no way think he'll "make it", maybe he won't even get to the point of having a somewhat decent band that has more than a few local fans but I do hope this comes together for him in some way cause it'll be a hell of a learning experience. I mean, can you imagine getting 5 guys together in a house, fresh out of high school, without jobs and having them actually focus on making music and becoming this great new band? More likely they'll realize the drummer is a screw up (law of averages says it's the drummer), the singer thinks he's the star or maybe they'll just get sick of each other in a good old fashioned roommate kind of way. Either way, when this dream comes down they'll either give it up or get stronger (mroe delusional?) from it.<br /><br />They should know that the bar has been set pretty high:<br /><object style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 390px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PDca_QjTxTs?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PDca_QjTxTs?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>Desmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18237107632555429391noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212314173864638729.post-88948258882921354262011-01-08T17:39:00.008-05:002012-02-16T14:23:04.061-05:00another year, another planetWhere did that last month go? I'm not saying it was an alcohol induced black-out but time went by really fast and there were many "festive" occasions leading up to and out of the holiday season.

I've been doing lots of stuff though.
