<p>Bug fixes are coming in slowly. You have probably seen a few corrections already. Getting close to sorting them all out!</p>
<p>Some of you are going to notice that Rapster's Corner is no longer on the front page. After seeing some discussions go south a bit, Rapster and I agreed it was better suited having these discussions in the forum. I am open for all sorts of discussions and I love reading the different viewpoints. We all need to stay professional in our replies! Since the front page is the first thing new members or potential new members see, I did not want to see any negtivity flying around. Thanks Joe for taking the high road on this. It is appreciated.</p>
<p><br />On Saturday May 10th we will have an interview with <a href="/mark_cloutier/">Mark Cloutier</a>.

This is a great way to get some feedback on lyrics before you finish
the song and hear all the lyric/arrangement suggestions after the fact!!</p>

I’d like to thank everybody who reviewed “Rob Grant Is Back!!!” I appreciate your kind words, gentlemen. However, I would also like to clear any possible misconceptions and publicly admit that I can’t play with that speed and superhuman precision. It’s all modern technology pros and cons of which we discussed recently. Even though I didn’t use any samples and played the Czardas myself, I can’t in good faith accept the praise for my musicianship because the track was heavily edited. I can, however, accept the praise of my editing skills. LOL! So there it is – I’m a cheater. But I’m not that bad and I still love making music! LOL. I hope you guys won’t lose respect for my modest musical ventures after this confession.

Just wanted to say thanks to Carol Douglas for posting her lyrics for everyone. I had fun writing some music for it.
Kent (venuestudio) did a great job on the mix of this song as well so thank you very much!

Im just an avid music listener. Cant play my way out of a paper bag....
Well, Ive uploaded a new song Meedee Man, Man. I've been experimenting and learning to make music with my MIDI and Synths. Its been a long slow learning process to do the little I have done. This song is the first time I have tried to combine vocals with the computer music. It's a good hearted tease of my very talented friend Jeff B/Road Apples who did a series of brilliant songs based on old horror movies. Its all meant to be tongue in cheek fun!
Good to see my great friend Mike K is going to be doing his show here. He is a great friend to Indie Artists plus a wonderful musician and a good guy. If you have not heard his show, I strongly recommend it!
<p>I just wanted to send a few updates to everyone. First of all I need to apologize for some of the bugs on the site. There was a recent code change that I wanted to get implemented with some new features and some performance tweaks. When I implemented these, it caused some bugs in other areas. These should be resolved in the next couple of days. <br /> <br />On Saturday May 10th we will have an interview with <a href="/mark_cloutier/">Mark Cloutier</a>.

Hey folks, I know i am late with the message this week but this is the first oppourtunity i've had to actually post the message today so here goes. I've only had 4 hours sleep and been working all day, i am completly out of fuel so i am running on pure alcohol tonight, so sorry in advance for any slurring or mispronounciation of words n burbles.
Mark Cloutier was kind enough to send on over his latest CD - 6 Strings of Passion - So that will be getting a spin tonight on nexus for sure!! - If you like the cd you can check the label out at http://www.cdbaby.com/markcloutier and marks personal myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/markcloutier - ALSO we hope to have an interview done with him over the next few weeks so keep your eyes on the news posts around the forums!!!! Be warned there was no CD sent to the CDDB so I submitted one myself from the songs etc on the cover, if something is wrong i do apologise.
Other than that its pretty much a TOTAL REQUEST NIGHT tonight! See you all there from 8PM GMT (3PM EST) till about Midnight, maybe later.

Hi All
Just posted some playing to a BT which will be entered in a poll competition on another site (for guitar players). Each player uses the same BT, which is part of the challenge. Anyway, its all about fun and it will be interesting to see what people choose when forced with a decision.

Its all about learning.

This is one of the links to an Aqaintence DENNIS LOGAN , his current release is great. If you like Topical, political , protest and that kind of lyrics , this is great music.
He draws on his influences like Dylan,Tom Petty, Roger Mcguinn, John Hiatt, Traveling Wibury's ,Dire Straights, Steve Earle, basically just good straight ahead rock n roll , Folk-rock, Country -rock.
The name of the CD is S.O.S . there is not an EMO song in to be found not that there is anything wrong with EMO. THis CD is a statement to be reckoned with.
check him out .........
