I'm to the point that I'm ready to start playing music again - with other people! I had a nasty wreck 2 years ago and I'm fully recovered and have my finger strength back and better than ever. What I'm looking to do is find a few people who play drums, bass, maybe another guitar or so and do a few projects. I would love to have one band that does it all but seldom is that easy to find; most people just like to play one style or keep things focused within a particular genre - I do not. I like to do most rock style music but I also love instrumental acoustic and ambient music as well as electronica and heavy stuff. I don't care for Death Metal per se - nor any other type of heavy music where you can't understand the singing - this is important to me because if the singer just growls there's no point to having words people cannot understand. The singer just becomes a soloist growler and that is my opinion. I don't want to slam anyone who likes that sort of thing - there are some bands like that I do dig, but it's not what I want to do with my music. What I want is to do 3 basic projects: First is a heavy, thick, distorted 80's style thrash metal LP - 10 or so songs that embrace the character of what made that genre great in my opinion. I will play guitar/lead and would like a killer drummer and bass player to join me - as for the vocals - I can sing but I would prefer someone who can really do it well. I have a few name ideas for the project and the one I like the most is: Ogre Nuts That name will kind of characterize some silly and funny bits and also the heavy themes that graced many an 80's thrash band. Secondly I want to do an instrumental acoustic / clean type intrumental project that has lots of catchy and creative backing with some complimentary melodies on top. Thirdly will be a straight out rock and roll type project with full songs and maybe even some keyboards. More to come... |

It is a completely inspiring and motivating experiences to see what is now unfolding in Iran. The people are mad and hopefully won't stand for a dictatorship any longer. Times like this make us realize that it's still bad out there - North Korea has killed millions of its own people, starving and torturing, yet that prick still has power. |

Charlie Hunter @ Yoshi's tonight - w00t! This will be the second time I've seen him there and I have to say I was astounded the last time - Charlie Hunter is an amazing musician; Playing groovy baselines melody and rhythm at the same time! The guy is a genius and a bay area local so that's always a treat. It should be a fantastic night - dinner and killer groove jazz acid whatever-the-hell he is :) Brent |

I try to read news, and watch (damn tv) it, where it's not all role based political dribble. The alternatives lead me to specific news sites and I really have to dig around to get the picture of the current state of affairs in the world. Sure, this can yield a much more in depth and non-biased angle on any issue, but it takes a lot of time to do it. My favorite sites tend to be scientific news as it lends itself more readily to a positive sense, a feeling of accomplishment, and even progress! I like that 'we're moving forward feeling. |

I'm finally adding content and taking this site seriously - no shit! Typically it is considered lame to put up an 'under construction' header and proclaim a work in progress; but here I find myself doing just that. So I'm going to focus today and the weekend on getting this site setup and operational and then adding a lot of music and stuffs. I'm focusing on recording some new music and getting my music pipeline down - I'm using a Mac now and some other new tools and I just don't have it to a comfortable flow. Brent
