<p>First of all Happy Mothers Day to all of our Mix Moms! We hope you have a great day 
</p><p>We are making additional changes and tweaking the site here and there. You should now be able to post the players to Facebook. I am looking for a solution for posting individual songs to Facebook. Right now it is pulling all songs in which can be a pain at times.</p><p>If there is something from the old layout that is missing that you would like to see added back in, let me know. I will see if we can add it back in.</p><p>Thanks for putting up with our dust!</p><p>Todd</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
<p>Hey Everyone!</p><p>We will be doing some testing of the new skin for a bit so you may see some slow downs, bugs, errors etc. I could close the site off but i thought I would let some of you see the changes we have made.</p><p>Thanks for your patience!</p><p>Todd</p><p> </p>
<p>Congratulations to Blake, Henry, Jack and Glen for being Mixposure's Artist of the Month! This is truly a remarkable band and a Mixposure staple for many years. <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/TCP">TCP</a> has earned some major industry kudos and support over the years and being Mixposure Artist of the Month should have happened some time ago. Sorry for the delay! Have a listen to the Progressive Rock bad and see why they are becoming known around the world. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><h2>Biography</h2><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: small;"><strong>TCP</strong> is a progressive band that met right here on Mixposure late in 2007. The spontaneous collaborations which first took place on this site were not only rewarding, but quite unlikely without Mixposure as a key connection point for us. </span><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: small;">We consider it a success story. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: small;">Formed early in 2008, TCP began it's effort to create compelling progressive rock drawing on all eras of this phenomenal brand of music. After realizing the right elements were in place, a creative chemistry began in the ensuing months that culminated in the completion of our first album, <em>The Way</em>, early in February 2009. This resulted in signing with 10T Records who released the album in May 2009.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once out of musical hibernation over the summer of 2009, we began the follow-up album, <em>Fantastic Dreame<span style="font-size: small;">r</span></em>, </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> putting the final touches on in February, 2011 . Both albums are readily available at many popular online stores (e.g. Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble) and download sites (e.g. iTunes, Napster, eMusic) in many countries. <a title="who said what" href="http://www.temporalchaos.com/html/reviews.html">Music reviews are here</a>.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: georgia,palatino;">Henry narrated our Center Stage presentation on Mike K's show this November 13, 2010. It previewed some of the material on <em>Fantastic Dreamer</em>. If you didn't catch it, <a title="Listen to CSP here" href="http://www.temporalchaos.com/html/news.html">you can listen here </a>to this segment of the show. <br /></span></p>

<p><img src="http://www.esquire.com/cm/esquire/images/LZ/esq-eddie-van-halen-fist-0512-lg-11299692.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="586" /></p><p> </p><p>Read the full interview <a href="http://www.esquire.com/the-side/music/eddie-van-halen-interview-2012-8147775#ixzz1sOujZnqT">here</a>:</p><p>The world of rock has blown up recently over a rare interview Eddie Van Halen did with <em>Esquire</em> magazine recently, which appears in the popular mens magazine’s May issue. <em>Esquire</em> has posted some outtakes from the interviews that didn’t end up making the final cut. There’s quite a bit of personal history from Eddie in the leftovers, which is definitely interesting, but the real meat and potatoes lies in his admission of a little white lie he told <em>Guitar Player</em> magazine that set many Marshalls aflame. Here’s his admission of guilt:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: Tell me about your amps, though. How much would you tinker with your amps back in the day?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: Always. We were tinkering until we left on tour.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: I’m talkin’ back in the old days, with your Marshall. What did you do to that thing?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: That was a stock amp.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: Come on man, rumor was that you rebuilt the damn thing.</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: I lied in. Okay, this is a long story, actually. I think this is also my paranoia of interview, because, is because the very first — Dave and I did a promo, a radio promo, an interview promo thing before the first record came out. And here we were on live radio, and the guy’s going, “We have Van Halen, a brand-new band from L.A. here in the studio. So Dave, tell me” … And here’s Dave, “Bop, bop, yabba, dabba, doo,” you know? Then he turns to me and says, “I understand you and your brother, Alex, are from Amsterdam, Holland.” And I went, “Yeah.” Dead air. Dead air. And then the guy starts going like this, and I go, “I’m over here.” <em>And I’m looking at him, and I start gesticulating, too, and then I say, out loud, “What the **** does this mean?” It was a fuckin’ disaster.</em> So afterwards, Dave goes, “Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna lie. You’re gonna make up some shit so they don’t remember it.” And, you know, I had to say something. I couldn’t just say, “Yeah.” But he asked me a stupid question. “Yeah” sufficed. You know, I wasn’t about to say “Van Gogh’s from there, you should see it during the winter,” you know? I’m not good at elaborating in that respect. So anyway, I do my first full-blown interview with<em>Guitar Player</em>, and that whole thing is in my head. You gotta make up shit. You gotta keep it interesting. All that Dave told me. So — oh, Joe Walsh calling me?</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: Really? Joe Walsh?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: Yeah. Grab it. Tell him I’m in the middle of an interview. But, so — okay, what I did was the amp was completely stock, but I used a light dimmer.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: You used a light dimmer on what?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: I bought an English version, I had my 100-volt Marshall. I bought one through the recycling or the newspaper that was from England, and it was set on 220 volts. I didn’t know. So I plugged the thing in, but I’m going, “Fucking thing doesn’t work. I got ripped off.” I just let it sit there. After about an hour, there’s sound coming out, but it’s really quiet, cause it’s running on half voltage. So I go, “Hey, wait a minute. It sounds exactly like it’s supposed to all the way up, but it’s really quiet.” So we had a light dimmer in the house, and I hooked up the two leaves from the amp to the light, so I did it backwards, blew out the fuse box. Then I went down to DOW Radio and asked, “Do you guys have any kind of super duper light dimmer?” They go, “Yeah, it’s all Variac, variable transformer, you know.” And on the dial you could crank it up to 140 volts or down to zero. So I figured, if it’s on 220 and it’s that quiet, if I take the voltage and lower it, I wonder how low I can go and it still work. Well, it enabled me to turn my amp all the way up, save the tubes, save the wear and tear on the tubes, and play at clubs at half the volume. So, my Variac, my variable transformer was my volume knob. Too loud, [makes knob turning sound] I’d lower it down to 50.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: That’s amazing. But still, that was it? That was the only modification you did?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: Just out of necessity. I need an amp I could play in clubs. We wouldn’t get hired, I would play so loud, you know, I’m going, what can I do? What can I do? Okay, I turned the voltage, the wall voltage into my volume knob.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>ESQ: Did you lie to <em>Guitar Player</em>?</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">EVH: Wait, wait, wait, what I was gettin’ at was when I did my first interview, I told people the complete opposite. I told them I raised it up 140 volts. I felt so bad. I felt so fucking horrible, man. They said, “Please don’t attempt what Eddie Van Halen said in the last interview, because everyone was blowing their amps.” Everyone fried their amps ’cause of me. I felt so bad. I never lied again after that.</p><p>So, that’s that. Eddie Van Halen comes clean. Although, by this point, everyone knows that raising the input voltage on an amp is going to wreak havoc, but at least Eddie is man enough to admit when he lies. Thanks, Ed.

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hey gang I pulled the site back for now. I want to fix a few bugs and add some modifications in before going back to it 100%. It is close but there are just a few things that are bugging me about it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just wanted to give everyone an update on the new site layout. I am hoping to have it up and running by this weekend. Once it is up, I am sure there will be some bugs as well as features that we may want to add back in so do not be alarmed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The new site was a long time coming and I think the 3rd or 4th change we have had. The technology changes and it is always a good idea to stay ahead of the curve. I know most of you upgraded from Windows 3.1 years ago and recently from XP to Windows 7. This is just a natural progression for us to try and provide feature rich content.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">While some of us embrace change, many avoid change like the plague. I hope everyone gives it a chance. Like the previous layout, we made changes all the time and this will be no different. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for being a part of Mixposure!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p><p> </p>
