Main Artist Page


By Admin, 2008-04-18

<p>Hey Guys!</p><p>You may have noticed the main page here is a bit different. I wanted to make sure we were doing what is right for our members. Every now and then we had members posting more than 1 blog, excessively long blogs or even several songs at once. </p><p>The problem some of the existing members had was it bumped their blog or song off the main page. What I did was to removed all songs off the main page and we have the flashing banner or the link in the top right now. Once you click either one, you will get the most recent 15 plus at the bottom you will see Next Page to see the next 15. This should work out a lot better.</p><p>As for the blogs, we increased the number of blogs and reviews on the main page. We also limited the amount of text on the blogs and you can click the More Button to read the rest. </p><p>Hopefully this will help!</p><p>Dazed</p>

Celebration Time


By selftort, 2008-04-17

I've received two pieces of great news today, involving members of ims.

Firstly Alexis Van Eeckhout has become a proud grandfather again with the birth of Julian born 18 April, 2008. Alexis assures me that mother and child are both well, although as Julian took his time in coming the grandparents are a bit stressed.

Secondly, Corrado Rossi posted a blog on myspace today celebrating that his composition "Where" had been chosen the Best Classical Song for 2007 on IACmusic.com. Here's the text of Corrado's blog:

Happy to share with all my friends this great news!
My song "Where" has won the Golden Kayak on IACmusic.com for the Best Classical Song of 2007
Considering I had also 4 final nominations, this was a beautiful result for me.
Thanks to everyone for the support and... enjoy the song!

Congratulations to Alexis and Corrado on their great news and achievements.

Bridges a music project


By sly puppy, 2008-04-17
Bridges   a music project

Well:
I've posted "The Devils Reward" here for you to have a listen and hopefully add some words.It is from the CD that myself and Mark Pii are hoping to get completed for a future release.The theme being being "bridges" hence the name,its a collaborative project .

This track features three great musicians and then theres me thrown in too bring things back to earth a little.The Devils Reward was written by me as a demo and the following music makers added their considerable talents to it which made it a proper track.

In no particular order :

Rob Grant : Bass
Mark Cloutier : lead guitar and gritty rythm bed
Main Pie : additional leads,sweet rythm,dark guitar bed under the solo
Sly Puppy : drums,vocals,VST guitar lines

Its produced by me:so I do hope and pray that I haven't upset any of the guys with the mix !
Theres a helluva lot in this track though I think theres about 8-9 seperate guitar tracks alone so getting a balanced mix took me a while especially with the ear problem I have had in recent weeks.

I cannot thank Rob,Mark and Main Pie enough for lending the helping hands on this track and the other tracks that are currently in the making !

Special mention to Rob Grant : Just Thanks and keep getting stronger !!!!!!

"Hell Hath No Fury
Not Like A Woman Scorned
Hell Is A Home From Home
Its The Devils Reward "

Love,Light and Peace

Don't You P!ss On Me


By WhereWolf, 2008-04-16
Don't You P!ss On Me

Well.....I could use a little help. While the song image is Classic Art/Sculpture, I need something
that fits the vibe of the song more closely. Something with a dog perhaps. After listening to the song...... if you have a better song image ,I'd appreciate your help !!!
Is this a great place or WHAT !!!
all the best,
wolf
Don't You **** on Me
Thanks to my friend Alexis I've got a bit of info on this little statue !!!!

There is a lot to do about the history of this littlestatue.There are several legends about this. For this look under the de site of the educationpoint .

Officially Hiƫronymus Duquesnoy the old made the original of this statue in 1619. In fact he got his insiration from oldere statues. Originally it stood on a pedestal of 6 foot high. During the bombardements of Bruxelles in 1695 by the sun king Louis XIV, the little statue was taken from his pedestal to protect the little man from the shootings.

In 1745 the statue was stolen by the english soldiers. The inhabitants of Geeraardsbergen could take it back from the soldiers. After exposing it on their Great Place, it was given back to the bruxellars.

A little later, in 1747 it was even stolen twice bij french soldiers. The second time there were troubles in Bruxelles and a masacre was hardly avoided.Ling Louis XV had the soldiers punished for their wantonnes. In order to put the Bruasslars back in a good mood he gave the little Manneken a beautiful outfit embroided with gold, a feathered hood and a sword. Manneken Pis was knighted it to the nobility to the order of Saint Louis. This meant that the French had to salute the statue passing by...

The statue became aclassicistic, belgian limestone niche in 1770 to replace the podest.

Stil the original statue did not last till now : in 1817 it was stolen and broken by a recently liberated hard labour. With help of fragments a new mould was vreated. With this a new Manneken Pis was moulded and exposed again on 6 december 1818.

The statue has several outfits.Its first outfit was given by Maximiliaan-Emmanuel of Beieren, which was councelar-general of the Netherlands from 1692 until 1714. He participated at a feast for the arquebuses shooters in 1698. He was able to shoot the upper jay and was elected to king of the gild. The happy Maximilian donated al the brothers of the guild an outfit of blue cloth of Beieren and gave one to Manneken Pis. At the moment its garderobe exist of 600 outfits, they are stored in the house of the king or in the Museum of the Town. Manneken Pis received his first outfit 1 may 1698. The governor of the Austrian Netherlands gave the outfit at the occasion of a fest organised by a Brussels guild. Manneken Pis still receieves often outfits. As thanks he gives the donators a barrel of beer that is connected directly to the little statue. Special outfits are that as Elvis Presley or Mickey Mouse .

There are many histories about Manneken Pis. According to one of the legends a little boy urinated against a door of a witch living at the polace where the fountain stays at this moment. The witch was so cross that she changed the boy into a statue. An other legend tells that a man had lost his son. He found the boy after two days, nearby the place where the statue can be admired today. When the father saw the child, it was urinating. As a sign of freedom, the father had made a fountain with a urinating little boy.

In Geraardsbergen they assure that they were the first ones to have a Manneken Pis. Fact is that they have a Manneken Pis since 1459. According to the Brussels Archives a little statue stood in 1452 on the corner of the Stovestreet and the Oakstreet. This statue was called 'Juliaensken Borre' (= in fact fountain of the little Juliaan). In common language it was often called 'Manneken-Pis' ,because of its special form. The common denomination had the priority above the official nomination,which is not to be found after after 1668 . This first statue was made of stone.

(With thanks to Bas van Iersel about the garderobe and the legends!)
