<p>So I have been debating on buying a new acoustic and was absolutely blown away when I found out Carvin is ending their Acoustic Cobalt line! There are only 2 models left in stock now! </p><p>I can understand the logic behind it but this just kills me. My C850 is an amazing sound. When I compared it to Takemine's and Martin's I had to get to the $1800 price range to find a sound I liked. I paid $750 for the C850! </p><p>So very said to see them kill the line. The truly were a remarkable guitars. </p>

<p>Kooder and I, as well as a few others, discussed this during the Mix Files Interview with Sarah. It was such a great interview amd musc it seemed only fitting that we make Sarah the Mixposure Artist of the Month.&nbsp;</p><p>Congrats Sarah and thanks for being a part of Mixposure and sharing your music with us!</p><p>Bio:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>September 25, 2012&nbsp;</span><br /><span>With the release of her debut solo album "Stronger Now" (Produced by Kevin Doyle), Sarah Smith is proving that she is in fact, stronger than ever.</span><br /><span>A London, Ontario native, Sarah earned national recognition with her rock band The Joys, who achieved certified GOLD status, charted nationally on College Radio in 2009 &amp; 2010 and won Best Rock Act at the Jack Richardson Music Awards, also in 2010. Their music has saturated the industry through licensing to Sony Playstation, Teletoon, Majority Rules, CAKE the movie starring Heather Graham, and the OUT TV show, Chris &amp; Johnʼs Road Trip.</span><br /><span>Known as &ldquo;the hardest working band in Canada&rdquo;, The Joys have sold more than 15,000 albums and shared the stage with world-class artists such as The Trews, Sloan, Arkells, Bedouin Soundclash, Crash Karma, Thornley, Edwin, Big Sugar, The Salads, Sam Roberts, Robert Plant, Matthew Good, K-OS, Honeymoon Suite, Loverboy, David Wilcox, Snoop Dogg, Colin James, The Headpins, 54-40, Kim Mitchell, Uncle Cracker and Finger Eleven.</span><br /><span>By stepping outside the boundaries of The Joys to bring audiences her own voice, Sarah</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span>Smith cultivated a sound built on her experiences. She enjoyed immediate success as a solo artist, claiming awards for Best Singer/Songwriter in 2009 and 2010 at the London Music Awards, and was host of the Jack Richardson Music Awards in 2011.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span>Often associated with the likes of Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge, Sarahʼs powerhouse vocals shine through in hits like "Shine Bright" and &ldquo;The Stars&rdquo; which deliver the usual passion, raw emotion and</span><br /><span>texture fans have come to expect. Stronger Now is a testament to the paradoxically strong, yet tender voice that has made Sarah famous.</span><br /><span>See Sarah Smith live:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.sarahsmithmusic.com/">www.sarahsmithmusic.com</a></p><p><object width="475" height="523" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&amp;song_id=all&amp;band_id=6931&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=325&amp;system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&amp;radio_id=&amp;song_id=all&amp;band_id=6931&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=325"></param><embed width="475" height="523" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="radio_id=&amp;song_id=all&amp;band_id=6931&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=325&amp;system_name=Mixposure.com" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&amp;radio_id=&amp;song_id=all&amp;band_id=6931&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=325"></embed> </object></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Congrats to Bobby Cain for having the Mixposure Song of the Week.

I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I am now a part time musician; I play in several different bands including "Death Row Bodine"" , my main live band, and "The Mopley Crew", a jam band with some of my oldest and best friends.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I write songs mostly to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. Everything you hear here is me, there's no one else to blame. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I just want you to have a good time.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Thank you for visiting, and...</span><br /><span style="color: #888888; font-size: medium; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">TURN IT UP!!!</span></p><p><object width="400" height="450" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&amp;song_id=29487&amp;band_id=806&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=450&amp;system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&amp;radio_id=&amp;song_id=29487&amp;band_id=806&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=450"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></param><embed width="400" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="radio_id=&amp;song_id=29487&amp;band_id=806&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=450&amp;system_name=Mixposure.com" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&amp;radio_id=&amp;song_id=29487&amp;band_id=806&amp;autoplay=false&amp;skin_color=0x000000&amp;cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&amp;jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&amp;remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&amp;remoteWidth=400&amp;remoteHeight=450" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object></p>

<p>This next Friday, September 21st, and as a celebration of the International Day of Progressive Rock,&nbsp;<strong>The ABADDYON Project</strong>&nbsp;will be releasing their new streamable single.</p><p><strong>TO FAR HORIZONS</strong>&nbsp;is a strong and innovative bet from the South-american group that tries to merge in an unprecedented way the roots of Argentinian folklore, progressive rock, symphonic music and modern heavy metal, resulting in a track that has different textures, colors and feelings.</p><p>The lyrics are about finding and asserting an own artistic identity, and the cons of trying to do something different in this times, taking into account the origin of the project, music genre and the foreign language chosen.</p><p>Recorded and mixed between May and August this year at MIX Studios in Mar del Plata, this is the first song of the group to be produced 100% in a professional studio, unlike their predecessors, made in a more amateur way. It also has the first participation registered by the new members.</p><p>This way, Abaddyon steps forward in the recording quality, also testing new ways of working, achieving better results , in order to continue recording more songs soon.</p><p>Shortly you will also have access to alternate versions of this song.</p><p>But that's a surprise and you&acute;ll have to wait ...</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">WATCH "TO FAR HORIZONS" TRAILER NOW</span>.</p><p><object width="350" height="300" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndPUjUR-dwQ&amp;hd=1&amp;rel=1"></param><embed width="350" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndPUjUR-dwQ&amp;hd=1&amp;rel=1" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
