Congrats to Randy Gabel for being Mixposure's Song of the Month! Have a listen below.
<p> </p><p> </p><p> Aside from an obvious notion about what the title of my new track infers I would like to think we live in an age where creative genius is seen as more than a drug induced trip and more for what is really there.</p><p>Don’t take life too serious there are way too many people and things that will slow you down. Ride that wave and enjoy it while you can.</p><p>I am posting this blog because I had a great time creating this little track. It is a combination of loops and my writing. I used drum loops to create a beat and wrote a bass line and some lead parts as well as a passage.</p><p>I think in this day and age we need all influences to be truly creative to deny that one exists without the other is ludicrous. That would be like the day without the night. I like to think of loops as the silent partner in the musical collaboration.</p><p>I would also like to say to those who create loops. Hail to ya. Without you there is no jump start, you are the flint in the lighter, keep on creating. To those who use loops or are considering them as a part of your stylistic perspective and writing cohort, DO IT! It takes a truly creative person to take what’s there and build with it.</p><p> I wanted to blog this also to announce that I am moving in a new direction. I will still create soundtrack style music but I think Jim of Jims Rare Earth, AKA King of the Aardvarks, made a valid point, while I do create interesting and pleasing soundtracks there is still an element missing, my personality and it is masked over or lost in the greater scheme of things. I think it’s time for the Jack in the Box to pop out and say Hi.</p><p>To those who may be reading this blog and are not yet a member of the Mix or If you are considering The Mix as your Indy Future, I say Go FOR IT, Come be a part of a truly special Family. We look after our kind. Come and learn and grow with us. Here you will find a truly supportive bunch of talented musicians.</p><p>I will say to my Friends and my Mix Family, though I don’t say it enough I love you I salute you and thank you. You are the reason I keep coming back.</p><p>A warning to those who might think you have found a well of music you can steal for your personal Gain, WE WILL FIND YOU, you might imitate us but you will never be us, so join us for we are many and we are growing stronger every day.</p><p> Cudos to the artist of the image I used, my eyes are bad so I can not make out your name but you know who you are, great Job.</p><p>To those who's loops I used thank you and e mail me so I can give credit where credit is due. Mediamann@ymail.com</p>
<p>On the subject of re invention i have often asked myself , why? But truth be know i have always writen in the electronic style its just that at this point in time i am writing in main stream. That being said and a weird into by that i mean this bold, check it out my new release, "the Devil In Me ( Chasing The Dragon)" its a demo before any mastering so tell me what you think. Thanks</p>
<p>Uploaded a new song called "Bad Is To The Bone". Please check it out if you get a chance.</p>

A Very Special and u n u s u a l
featuring
Jims Artificial Earth , and
Premiers during Saturday Night Rocks, March 2
Gene ( daddyrabbit ), Jim ( Jims Artificial Earth ) and me (kooder, Without A Flag ) are our guests for this Mix Files. The Skype call with the three of us went... well... use your imagination, multiply by a lot, add in 4 or 5 cups of gut-wrenching laughter, and you get the idea.
It started as Gene wanting to do a Mix Files kind of thing with me. I said sure. By the time we had the conversation, JimsAE was in the mix. After the conversation, different ideas were floated on how to do this and present it - cause it was fun and hilarious in spots - and it turned out to be a 2 part Mix Files. What airs this Saturday is Part 1 (of 2).
Between the three of us, and a conversation that lasted a couple of hours, I simply cannot make just 1 part. Too much mayhem for just 1 hour. It gets crazy. And funny. Crazy funny. So, Part 1 airs this week (March 2), and Part 2 airs next Saturday Night (March 9).
All three of us expect to be in chat for this.
There is fun and mayhem, and some pretty good music, too, I think. And, did I mention, emphasis on the mayhem? We would love to see you in chat (that's a link).
If you are interested in hearing some killer music and having some good belly-laughs, Saturday Night Rocks is the place to be this Saturday night.
I'm just sayin...
Saturday Night Rocks and The Mix Files
Have some fun... be there
