Boston Drum Cover
Drummer
I just got done watching Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" video... Man, that guy is amazing.
Anyway... Tonight I thought it'd be a good idea to do some drum covers of my favorite songs. So, here's the first one, "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston.
Give it a listen and don't forget to rate and comment if ya like it!...

Song In Progress
PoeticIntensity
Not sure why I'm writing about this now, because I usually just finish the thing and then announce it at the same time as I share it.
I guess this song is a complete deviation from anything I've done in the past. Heh... Just now I'm realizing that I don't even have a name for this song yet. I could call it "My Friend",...

The Fink is Finished!
AudioGuru
After a whole heckuva lot of work, at a faster-than-I-want-to pace, the self-titled album from Herod the Fink is finally finished, and available.
Herod the Fink is an in-house production of our mixing and recording engineer, and a great musician-friend of his.
The whole project came together with a simple phone call, a month before ...

Alma : 45

The first thing I noticed this time, is that apparently, Helaman had never had any proof of the existence of the plates of gold Alma and the previous prophets were writing on. Not entirely sure why that caught my fancy this time, but it did. I guess keeping the historical records was a pretty sacred thing back then. I wonder if th...

Fedora 12 - Getting Closer

Well... I'm not quite as frustrated tonight as I was when I tried to do with Ubuntu, that which I am now trying with Fedora 12.
I installed Fedora 12 on my laptop from the install DVD, and I've gotta say, Fedora, neither in the installation, nor in running the OS, was as slick as Ubuntu. Ubuntu was quite a bit more polished, I'...

Ubuntu Still Has Demons

Okay.. So I installed Ubuntu on my brother's computer about 3 weeks ago, and he has been loving it! Before that, he had been using gentoo with me as his personal admin, which I didn't mind because he rarely needed it, and when he did, it was usually a 10-30 minute fix, no problem.
So, he liked it so much, and from what I could tell, ...

What's With Snow and Me?

Today, I woke up to about 6-10 inches of fresh powdery snow all over the place. It's actually beginning to feel like Christmas time, now!

I'm not entirely sure why I'm this way, but it's been this way ever since I can remem...

Alma : 44 - Rather Die Than Lie

The thing which resonates so much with me about this chapter, is how true Moroni is to himself and his God. Truly, the last thing he wanted to do is to kill thousands of his brothers, yet he had to. He knew his lifestyle, freedom, religion, and family were more important than letting themselves be put into bondage, and the Lamanites wou...

New Song - "No Way Out"

At the beginning of this year, one of the things I wanted to accomplish by next year was to write enough songs to create an album. So far I have 3 songs I reallly like, and one which I think should be destroyed by fire. Not too shabby, considering it's only the beginning of February.

From the beginning of this chapter, it's obvious that Christ means business when he makes covenants. Causing entire books to be written, and then keeping 100% of everything that is written means something.

I love verse 9. &q...

After having killed one thousand and five of their own people, and having realized they didn't really want to be killing their own people, I imagine the anger of the Lamanites went to pretty extreme levels.
