My Family

By sta2ff, 2008-07-21

My Family The S.T.A2.F.F (Strong Together As A Family Forever)
 
-The Sta2ff was formed in 1999 and consist of seven former student-athletes who became brothers while playing big time college football for the University of Missouri-Columbia.  Although the Sta2ff was founded by the seven brothers, there are other members who have since joined the sta2ff.  This family has bonded together to embark on a mission to be successful members of society.
 
TC and the Sta2ff are currently making a mark in the Record Industry, with their self started label 39th Ave Music LLC.  This label is the label of the future, so make sure you look out for them.  For more info on TC aka The Ambassador of Hope Hop, 39th Ave Music or The Sta2ff, go to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sta2ff">www.myspace.com/sta2ff</a> or <a href="http://www.tcstompingground.com/">www.tcstompingground.com</a>!

While in London I looked at the new Apple store, as one was launching in Sydney while I'm over here, and Ive fallen in love with Garage band, so I think i might get  A Macbook, Im amazed at the things u can do with it, The country side is great and really beautiful in some areas, Flower has a nice country over here..
 
Also found a cool music shop with a left handed fender strat , I've never played a  strat before and it was different to my ibanez. Also tried out a Vox amp which sounds really cool. Got another 4 weeks here in UK ,

CSP - July 19, 2008 Saturday Night Rocks with TCP Re-Broadcast

By iMS Radio, 2008-07-19

"Interactive Radio" in action again - only on MIX Radio via Mixposure.com, the home and "future of Independent Music"! Another great Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation is in the books, this time with our special guest TCP, a Progressive Rock project that will blow away many mainstream artists  with their awesome music! Listen to more of TCP's music <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/TCP/">HERE</a>. Just a little factoid for those of you who are not familiar with Internet Radio when it comes to Independent Artists: There are a huge number of "Indie Stations" on the Internet. I have done some extensive research over the past 4 years and I can tell you that most of those stations will have about 15 listeners MAX during one of their primetime shows. Well, I am happy to report that we hit a whopping 32 Listeners on this last show here on Mix Radio! This might not seem big to you as you are reading this, but it is!!! Also, it should tell you that there is work to be done! We need many more listeners to realize how great Independent Artists really are!!! YOU can help by spreading the word! Just contact everyone you know who loves good music and have them do the same with everyone they know and simply poin them to Mix Radio on Mixposure.com - it's music that deserves to be heard by MANY more people!!! It's a pleasure, featuring all of these great artists from all over the world. Not just during the Center Stage Presentation, but in general. What an abundance of talent! Who would need mainstream radio? I sure do not! Independent Artists are far more original and entertaining (yes, you may quote me on that!). If you missed this last show, you SHOULD listen to it via the following links: <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/071908SNRwithTCP.mp3">July 19, 2008 SNR - featuring TCP - Hi-Fi</a> <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/071908SNRwithTCP-LO.mp3">July 19, 2008 SNR - featuring TCP - Lo-Fi</a> The complete playlist of this past Saturday's show is <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/iMSRadio/071908SNRPlayList.htm">HERE</a>. For all other re-broadcast links, please visit the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/MixRadio/blog.php">Mix Radio Blogs Page</a> We hope to see you again next Saturday for another exciting Mix Radio Center Stage Presentation on Mix Radio via Mixposure.com Cheers, <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Mike_Kohlgraf/">Mike</a>

The "spirit" of MIXPOSURE (as I see it, anyway)

By zzaj, 2008-07-19

I was with the original MIX nearly since it started.  One of the main reasons I "jumped on with both feet" is because the atmosphere being promoted there was one of friendliness in the review community.  "Management" often got involved when someone was posting reviews that were not "constructive" or "helpful".
 
Some recent reviews on the re-born MIXPOSURE highlight the fact that some folks (whether it be jealousy or just a "spiteful" nature) don't understand what "helpful" means.  What it does NOT mean is to say things like "all your stuff is crappy".  Fortunately, the ADMINS in this new iteration have put in place some tools (under PROFILE) for the individual musician to remove such reviews.  That is NICE to KNOW (because I didn't until I asked, & then was given very prompt and accurate instruction on how to remove truly offensive reviews or comments).
 
I'm not an advocate of removing all negative criticism, only the stuff that is clearly intended to hurt or "maim the spirit".  So I believe this tool should be used with caution... BUT, I do believe it should be used.  I think it's very important to this great revived community to keep the "spirit of MIXPOSURE" alive and well, and one of the best ways to do that is to avoid "flaming" some idiot whose whole intention was/is to "push your buttons"... that's what they want - for YOU to descend to their level of hatefulness anyway.
 
& in that spirit, this blog is offered up.  I've always been about HELPING the INDIE musician... for those who don't understand that I have but one thing to say.  "May you rest in piece(s)"!!!
