To say the least... AMAZING!!!

Watch this conductor, he is the guy I wish I could be when I get older. He leads the band in an outstanding way.

Oh yeah...

Just to be that guy that follows everybody else in this new wave of showing off certain bands. Here is a video of the band Dream Theater's James Labrie (Singer) and Mike Portnoy (Drummer) doing a very subjective and yet hilarious rap. Caution contains some strong language, watch at own risk.

Flying Bananas Can't Talk

You may be wondering what flying bananas have to do with music. Obviously nothing but it was an interesting title to begin with and now that you are this far in you have to continue towards the end. "We all need 12 hugs a day" Dr. Lichty, professor in Education building. What does this statement mean for musicians? Well in case you haven't thought, music in it's most mental form is a hug, it is what someone might need to get through the day. Now Dr. Lichty doesn't exactly say physical hugs, although he prefers them, it is almost the best type of pick me up to listen to music before playing music, specifically something that isn't heavy metal or goth/emo type of music. Some interesting songs to ponder and listen to before a practice or the next time you play: Drifting by Andy Mckee, Dear Prudence by The Beatles, Mad World by Gary Jules, any type of comedic song preferably by "Weird" Al Yankovic, anything by Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Tchaikovsky, and most importantly remember to listen to yourself!
