Ok, I did two songs for the contest this time... I sometimes do as many as 5 - but here's the thing -
One of them is ok...and the other is ...
well, NUTZ!
So when you see the one with the picture of my bass wearing boxer shorts, you'll know that's the wacko one.
Pretty clear no?
Just wanted to let everyone know what a good time I had last night listening to the SSTM radio show. Rasmuth did an excellent job and the songs were fantastic. It still amazes me the power of the internet to bring people from different parts of the globe together, regardless of all the crap that's happening, for a few minutes of true peace. Anyway, just had a great time and can't wait for the next one.
cheers all you romantics.. I can't express my thanks enough to all you great new friends and musicians.. i was worried about my singing but you all have all made my day today.. Feb. 15th..

CHEERS..

Hi All
Just posting this oldie from my band from the late eighties. Recorded live with bass drums and guitar. Its a pretty cheesy number, and I was quite suprised when I played it to my kids and they really liked it (lol). They said "thats better than the stuff you do now" - what??!!??, me no thinks so.
Anyway, I'm posting it for a bit of a laugh. Feel free to post a sledge.

I was overwhelmed by an e-mail I received last night. It was from Doctor C. He attached a song file and a note that touched me DEEPLY. I ONLY hope, he doesn't mind my bringing attention to this. Over the past few months, I have been getting to know Doctor C and Gary Carciello, thru our internet relationship. It has amazed me, how many personal things developed between us, as time went by. I've seen it written that NET FRIENDS are NOT POSSIBLE. I never felt that way. I have always been myself and feel, those I have gotten to know, do the same. Anyway, like everybody, I have problems in life......less to some and more to others. Regardless, I have to deal with my own life. Doctor C and Gary have always been supportive of my mood changes and anxiuosness. My wife and been facing many of life's challenges. BUT!! Thru it all, I have found Doc C and Gary to keep things positive.....and IMS has become a VERY nice relief for me. Doctor C wrote this song and he and Gary performed it. I listened and was brought to tears. I want to share this BEAUTIFUL Song, that they have done......and show the skeptics, THAT....The INTERNET TRUELY CAN CREATE GREAT FRIENDSHIPS 
THANK YOU, DOC and GARY! PLEASE, don't be upset, with my sharing this. As for my wife and I.....life goes on and we will deal, with the help from GREAT FRIENDS. Rob
IT`S VALENTINES DAY 2008 :D
SO I DECIDED TO UPLOAD "LOVE POWER", ONE OF MY ELECTRONIC-DANCE TRACKS FROM MY "CYBER DRUMS" CD.
"LOVE POWER" WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR THE LOVE PARADE 2004, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY NEVER HAPPENED. BECAUSE THE LOVE PARADE WAS CANCELED, AND DIDN`T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 2007, WITH MAJOR CHANGES IN THE STAFF THAT RUN IT. ANYWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH FOR ME IN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC WORLD.
"LOVE POWER IS A VERY POWERFUL ELECTRONIC TRACK WITH A SWEET MELODY.
THE BASIC THEME OF THE SONG IS "LOVE POWER", THE STRONGEST POWER IN THE WORLD.
WE NEED MORE "LOVE POWER", AND LESS HATE POWER, AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE.
CREDITS,
DICARLO; EVERYTHING
ADDED; THIS TRACK WAS COMPOSED ON AN ALESIS QS-8 MASTER KEYBOARD, AND A YAMAHA RM 1X SEQUENCER, AND WAS MIXED IN THOSE TWO MACHINES, TOTALLY ANALOG, AND RECORDED ON A STAND ALONE CD RECORDER.
JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH VERY BASIC EQUIPMENT, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU`RE DOING. :D
Whan a man loves a ...
Dog?
What is there not to love about a good dog. I wrote this song in memory of the late, great, loved by all, Goldie.
Hey, we all need a muse. Right?
I am hoping someone might have a bright idea. I have been working on a song for the Same Title Madness promotion.
I have recorded the basic backing track onto my zoom 8 track and was planning to add vocals and guitar. I am still tinkering with the lyrics and decided to burn a CD of the backing track on the internal CD drive in the Zoom so I could play it back repeatedly and work on the lyrics. I've been having trouble with the CD playing of late, but it had always burnt okay. Yesterday I couldn't get it to open the CD door to remove the existing CD in there and to be blunt about it I think in my anger and frustration I may have stuffed the whole CD drive up.
I am wondering if anyone has any bright ideas as to how to get the recording off the Zoom in a form that will enable me to burn it into CD form. My computer recording system is pretty primitive. I use an early version of Cakewalk Home Studio that I use to program my drum and bass tracks.
I thought about setting up a new cakewalk audio file and playing the track on the Zoom with the output from the Zoom into the input of the audio interface for the computer. The Zoom has RCA outputs and I had an RCA to a 1/4" jack lead that I used to try that but it didn't seem to work.
If anyone's got any bright ideas I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Brian

ADDED; I HAVE BEEN MAKING SOME CHANGES ON MY WEBSITE!!!!!!
www.online-mixing-and-mastering.com
CHECK IT OUT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
THE SITE WILL BE TOTALLY REDESIGNED BY PROFESSIONALS, SOMETIME THIS YEAR, AND WILL LOOK LIKE THE SILVER MACHINE ON THE FRONT PAGE.
MY IDEA WAS TO USE THAT MACHINE AS THE WHOLE SITE, SO YOU COULD CLICK ON EACH ONE OF THE MENU LISTINGS AND GO DIRECTLY TO THAT PAGE. :D
THE WHOLE OUTER PART OF THE PAGE WOULD LOOK LIKE THE MACHINE, BUT WITH DIFFERENT TEXT ON EACH PAGE OF COURSE!!!!! :D
SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA?
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
