Just a heads up everyone. Today we will be forcing the site into SSL. We have always had SSL since it it mandatory to post music on Facebook however we never chaged the entire site over. Recently with our move to a new server we have had some issues with users receiving links back to Mixposure in an https format which was causing issues.
Most sites are using SSL now and we figured we might as well just configure the site to use the https protocol. You may see missing chat or radio station players that are not working. We will get them fixed as soon as possible. Right now, I would prefer to be on one url format so we all see the same thing.
Thanks for your patience!
Hey everyone - We just wanted to say thanks for your patence over the last few weeks. When a site as larg as this one goes done, recovery is not simple. That being said, we should be back to normal now. If you are seeing anything odd, please let us know.
The site is slowly coming back to life so do not panic. All of the media files, blogs etc. are being copied over and we should be back to normal sometime today. As you can probably guess, we had a catastrophic failure on our old server. No idea what happened and they were not being very helpful. We changed companies and are just restoring the site from backups.
Sorry for the inconvenience!!
Just wanted to welcome all the new members to Mixposure. There have been a lot of signups lately so we would like to take a moment to welcome you to Mixposure.
Please let us know if you have any questions!!
Well we made it through the holiday's and now it seems like the right time to do the next "site" tune. Anyone have a preference? Same Song Title Madness? Same Lyric Challenge? Something else?
Wow now on top of Bowie dying Glen Frey also just passed away. 2016 is starting out poorly for lost legends.
Glenn Frey, a founding member of the rock band the Eagles, died Monday in New York City, his publicist announced. He was 67.
Frey “fought a courageous battle” for the past several weeks, according to his publicist, but succumbed to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.
“Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide,” his publicist said.
Guitarist Frey and drummer Don Henley formed the Eagles in Los Angeles the early 1970s, along with guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner. They would become a top act over the next decade, embodying the melodic California sound.
Henley said in a statement Frey was "like a brother to him."
"The bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved, he said. "We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream: to make our mark in the music industry - and with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed."
An Eagles greatest hits collection from the mid-1970s and "Hotel California" are among the best-selling albums in history.
Frey was born in Detroit and was raised in its suburbs. His solo hits include "The Heat Is On" and "Smuggler's Blues."
Frey was lead vocalist on the Eagles' breakthrough hit, "Take It Easy," a song mostly written by Jackson Browne that came out in 1972. His other showcases included "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Already Gone" and "New Kid in Town."
The Eagles split up in 1980 but reunited in 1994 and were one of the world's most popular concert acts. The band, which for years was made up of Frey, Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, was supposed to have been honored at the Kennedy Center last month. But the appearance was postponed because of Frey's health problems.
Frey, known for his oversized jaw, big grin and blunt personality, loved music, girls and the rock 'n' roll life. He would meet up with Henley, Meisner and Leadon while all were trying to catch on in the Los Angeles music scene, and for a time the four backed Linda Ronstadt. They also befriended such other Los Angeles-based musicians as Browne and J.D. Souther, who would collaborate on "New Kid in Town" and other Eagles songs.
They harmonized memorably on stage and on record but fought often otherwise. Leadon and Meisner departed after run-ins with Frey, and guitarist Don Felder, who had joined the group in 1974, ended up in legal action with the Eagles.
Frey and Henley also became estranged for years, their breach a key reason the band stayed apart in the 1980s. Henley had vowed the Eagles would reunite only when "hell freezes over," which became the name of the 1994 album they never imagined making.
Congrats to Ariel's Attic for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week!
Born out of a love for music with grand concepts and ambitious arrangements, Ariel's Attic brings together their various influences into a melting pot of styles that sounds unique yet somehow familiar, with a nod towards bands like Rush, Nightwish, Savatage, and a penchant for the symphonic and even operatic at times. The result is a bone crunching, driving metal foundation provided by Mike, Gary and Bob, tempered by Jenn's angelic voice. We hope you all enjoy what we put up here as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Hate reading about Musicians dying and Scott Weiland probably was long overdue to cross the line. He had a long history with drug addiction. Ashame that so many fall into this trap. Thanks for the music Scott!
