A Weekend Without Mixposure

A Weekend Without Mixposure

Well, the girlfriend Justina wants some US time, and while that's cool, I don't wanna. I mean, come on, am I gonna get an extensive fix of cool music? Am I gonna find pleasure in creating something that I've labored over for weeks? Am I gonna talk to people with the same interests and aims? Er...ah...er...nope lol<br /><br />I will get all my meals cooked, a free flowing supply of drink, a days shopping in the city, pillow fights (don't ask!), movie, more food, more drink.<br /><br />Man it's a tough choice. Anyway, bag packed ready to shoot.<br />You all have a good weekend, take care of the cat and no fighting over the remote.<br /><br />See you all Sunday evening/Monday morning<img src="images/smilies/face-grin.png" border="0" alt="grin" title="grin" /><br /><br />IDIOM<br />(feeling homesick already)

Another Radio Interview this afternoon


By selftort, 2008-10-01

Just letting you all know that I am to be interviewed <strong>this afternoon</strong> on a local radio station. The interview will start at 5pm Sydney time (which as best I can work out is 7am GMT/UTC or 3am EST - hmm maybe the odd night owl will be up).<br /><br />I will be taking some CDs which will include some mixposure collabs I've been involved in and will probably be doing a couple of live acoustic originals as well. It will go for an hour and from past experience is likely to have some wacky moments. So if you happen to be sleep deprived and need a remedy for insomnia click in and have a listen.<br /><br />Unfortunately there is no chat room or forum on the station's site.<br /><br />The url for the site is <a href="http://www.skidrow.com.au/">http://www.skidrow.com.au/</a>&nbsp;and just click on the "Click Here To Connect" button to stream.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Brian<br /><br />

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my good friend...I hope it`s wonderful for you my&nbsp;fantastic collab partner...<br /><br /><br />Much love, huge hugs and many kisses..:-)<br />Mags&nbsp; :-)

Who`s to say what is RIGHT and what is WRONG?

I wrote this as a response to what Vesa had written on his&nbsp;blog but after giving it a little more thought I wondered if any of you feel the same about the music we create and decided to post up a blog to find out..<br />

<div class="br-txt">I think music should sound how the&nbsp;CREATOR of it intended it to sound...If you`ve achieved that then you`ve achieved what you set out to do..It does`nt really matter if the listeners hear it your way or not, as long as you know you`ve achieved what you set out to do and that YOU know it sounds the way it was intended to sound, then all`s well..:-) I don`t think anyone should change the music they create because a few people who listen feel it should be different..I don`t think any of us would ask a painter to change a part of the picture he`d just painted because we don`t like the colour he`s used for the sky etc....Those artists/musicians wearing "L" plates are excluded of course....:-)They need the guidance of those further on down the road..:-)<br /><br />Just my few pennies worth..:-)<br /><br />Peace n love Mags :-)</div>

Dear Mix listeners, please come and listen to the latest song. I have just posted Breathe Back In, which is my latest collaboration with two really amazing musicians on Mix. I would like to thank them both for bringing these words to life in such a beautiful and stylish way. I am so happy that they loved these lyrics enough to give them life, and I could not have asked for kinder and more dedicated musicians. I thank them from my heart! Maybe you would all like to have a guess, see if you know who they could be? Melsi

Wasteland


By IDIOM, 2008-10-01
Wasteland

A lot of my old music isn't around anymore, partially because it sucked, secondly I gave up trying to accomplish single handed what a team did better. Now what you <strong>probably</strong> wont know is that once upon a time I <strong>did</strong> land at the old Mix from a very brief spell as a singer songwriter, but my primary home was on Unsigned Band Web where I had a heck of a lot of memories. Recently I thought "why the hell not" and stuck up "Home Leaving" (recently being 11 hrs 30 minutes ago according to the time frame they have listed next to new songs.) 2 plays one download-not bad. Anyway sidetracking here.<br /><br />I thought wouldn't it be cool if I let you all <strong>listen</strong> to what I used to do, and thankfully I don't have to sit there with ya while you listen lol, I'd probably drop dead through embarassment! First here's the lyrics, and my artist name was <strong>Will Bailey</strong> named after me and my son. Although I first went under Don Brooks, then Seeking Savannah.<br /><br />

<td class="postbody" valign="top"><span style="font-weight: bold;">WASTELAND</span> <br /><address> (c)willbailey2005 </address> <br /> There's a blood red moon risin' <br /> As the vampires come out to play <br /> Murderers and thieves rise from their beds <br /> Deep in their hideaways <br /> The distant beast of thunder <br /> Calls it's hungry roar <br /> Tonight there's gonna be a death ballet <br /> Like you never seen before <br /> <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland, baby <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland <br /> We may escape with our lives <br /> <br /> The hotrods lie in waiting <br /> For their riders praying in the dust <br /> There's a hunger and fear <br /> That turns to angry lust <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">BRIDGE</span> <br /> <br /> And a million miles away there's people <br /> In their fancy steel built homes <br /> Who will pass away with thier family <br /> Out here you die alone <br /> <br /> The girls are hitchin' up their skirts <br /> Hopin' to be caught <br /> They're just cattle in the market ring <br /> Ready to be sold and bought <br /> <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland, baby <br /> Livin' it up in the wasteland <br /> We may escape with our lives</td>

and here's the link to paste into the browser:<br /><br />http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/bands/2231/<br /><br />oh and there's a second track there called Dead Of The Night, lyrics below:<br /><br />DEAD OF THE NIGHT <br /> &copy;willbailey2005 <br /> <br /> In a quiet chapter of nowhere <br /> A lonely shadow stands <br /> Chokin' on a cigarette <br /> Held by aging hands <br /> In his mind flows memories <br /> Of people he can't fight <br /> Hopin' to seal his own fate <br /> In the dead of the night <br /> <br /> Tramps on the corner <br /> Burn trash in white hot metal <br /> Staring lost and hurt <br /> Into their man made hell <br /> Burnin' embers their lives <br /> Drifting upward to the sky <br /> Hopin' to save their souls <br /> In the dead of the night <br /> <br /> Young girl earnin' money <br /> By sellin' her sacred temple <br /> The job's night work <br /> But the money plentyful <br /> Deep down she's a check out girl <br /> Or maybe a a lovin' wife <br /> But dreams don't exist <br /> In the dead of the night <br /> <br /> And all over this world people cry <br /> As what they hope for fades away <br /> <br /> It all turns to dust <br /> In the dead of the night <br /> It all turns to hell <br /> In the dead of the night<br /><br />
