DreamMusician.com

Hi all,

Read about this website on Yahoo! Music news... They provide downloads of WMA of our favourite music tracks but with a twist... with one instrument of your choice removed! Great for practising musicians! Much like how karaokes are great for vocalist, I'm sure these tracks will be great for guitarists! In the past, the only way for us to practice in the past is to get a tight-enough band to play alond with ya... now just turn on your pc/laptop that's connected to your hi-fi and click on 'em tracks to start bobbing your head and fingers away! Way cool! :)

Punk Rock with a funny attitude

Hi all,

Punksters from Google Videoland... MTV overkilled? How many more characters and plots can they come up with? :)

1. Kissing Tigers - "So Stay in Love"

4 min 18 sec

Not only is Kissing Tigers an up and coming band with solid music, but the video has hamsters in it. Who doesn't like videos with hamsters in it?


2. From First to Last - "Note to Self"

4 min 32 sec

Where you'd least expect it - punk rock inside a retirement home...


3. Millencolin - "Fox"

2 min 3 sec

A story about a boy and his bike...


Blessings,

Man, they look sexy no matter which angle you look at 'em...

Road to the Promised Land Reloaded

Hi all,

I was looking through some of the videos that I had of Trio when I was reminded of this one that was taken when we happened to hang around Esplanade. Seems like we were trying to break the sound barrier, alas...
