Fun stuff

This is an interesting site I found while searching for some pics

The band director here (well, music teacher I guess) has a severly limited budget. Due to this, she and her husband build their own instruments and make their own mallets!

that...is...awesome!

Go LB!

I wanted to give Long Beach High a shout-out for their great job at the Gold Medal Classics this Saturday, they got all 1's! (That's like getting all A's in all subjects, band style)

also, I want to wish Harrison Central High (they were running concessions again this year) the best of luck at Choctaw this year! (It makes me sad that I can't be there...)

Gold Medal Classics

That's right folks! It's that time of the year again; MGCCC-Perkinston campus is hosting the Gold Medal Classics Saturday October 13th. Plenty of bands from the SouthEast region will be attending (Including Long Beach!). Perk's Band of Gold will be giving an exhibition show at the end of the competition bands.

Please come and support the bands, they perform for the audience after all!

Hello again! I've got another fun music webpage.

http://ocremix.org

OCRemix is a webpage dedicated to the tasteful remixing of video game music!

**Bonus**
They offer Bittorrent downloads in bulk of their remixes

AIDS for your computer!

Just a reminder...
keep your box protected!!

Make sure you have virus protection, ad-ware removal software, and a firewall!!!

Personally, I like AVG antivirus, SpyBot S&D as well as Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, and ZoneAlarm for a firewall....(when I run Bootcamp :] )

Since I run a mac, I normally don't have a problem

MPOTD

Well, it appears the MPOTD will not *actually* be every day...more like when I feel like it :)



Today's post is about a unique group known as Rasputina

Rasputina is a cello group..but in an unorthodox way; they're a chamber-rock group that play a variety of music ranging from clasic rock (Janice Joplin, Heart, and others) to their own songs.

This is the new: Music Post Of The Day!!

I'll be linking to a band's site that I think deserves recognition!

today's is...

Freezepop! They're an electropop band. (Here's a clip from their bio page)

"A typical day in the life of a Freezepop song: Liz wakes up at the crack of dawn and begins brewing a fresh pot of lyrics, sometimes innocent, sometimes less-than-innocent, and sometimes in another language and making very little sense. Meanwhile, the Duke drops the blippy drums off at school and swings by the cleaners to get the synthpads chorused up for the dinner party. later in the day, the Other Sean is out walking the vocoder and stops by the delicatessen for a fat bass sandwich. Later that evening after a long day, the Duke tucks the song into bed and goes to read the latest issue of Scientific American."
