What is that anyway? Yesterday a friend told me he was having injections to remove all the metals from his blood stream. He tells me that it makes you exhausted but you can live to be 100 years old. I don't know if I want to live that long. I live in a city where nothing is ever enough. Bigger house, nicer car, prettier girl, faster computer. I hired someone to wait in line for me to get the new iphone the other day. Guess what? It's just a phone!!! No big deal. I don't know where I'm going with this. I really have to practice slowing my life down. Not being distracted by all the candy on the sidelines can be challenging sometimes, but I know my life runs just as well even when I don't have the latest gadget. In LA you can phone your oven to preheat it from 80 miles away. The house might be on fire when you get home but at least you cooked a turkey. Today I will practice staying present and living in the moment. Not tomorrow, not next week.... just right now. Be well. Daniel - August 13, 2008 http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/6/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/6/ 2008-08-19T09:05:00Z JetSpeed Records has signed Ukrainian hardcore Christian metal sensation Factor 150.  United States of America (Press Release [1]) August 18, 2008 -- JetSpeed Records is proud to announce the signing of their first metal hardcore Christian band Factor 150. Factor 150's track "In Hands Of Jesus" will be featured on JetSpeed Records' upcoming Christian compilation album "Pure" to be released August 31st, 2008 available through www.jetspeedrecords.com . Factor 150 was created in late 2002 by members of Opozicia: Igor “Lis” Shemigon – vocal, Dima Titorenko – drums, Sergei Kovtun – bass; and two guitarists Svan and Max “MaxFactor”. The first performance was on 27/11/02 in “The Rock” church. The line-up existed till July 2003. During the period the band recorded two songs for demo (“Truna” and “NLP”) and gave about seven concerts with bands Deathdemona, Holy Blood, C.O., Proroki etc. In late May Svan left the band and Eugene “Gas” Kerpatenko became new guitarist of the band. At the same time the line-up beefed up with the second vocalist Eugene Shemigon. Thereafter the band made new material and actively concretized. They gave concerts with Rasta, Inshiy Vymir, Popcorn etc. At that time they play hard punk, hardcore and nu-metal. In the late 2003 the band stopped existing. After the break up of Factor150 some members decided to revive Opozicia. At the beginning of 2004 MaxFactor and Eugene Shemigon made a decision to revive Factor150. They invite new musicians. Rain, McDan and Max Z joined Factor150. Rain became drummer, McDan – guitarists and Max Z – bassist. The band started playing hard type of nu-metal (like Slipknot, Mudvayne and Soulfly). During next year the line-up undergoes many changes. In late 2004 Max Z leaves the band, and Kurakov “Kura” Kostya became the new bass guitarist. In summer 2005 the band members decided to part with singer Eugene, who became the bass guitarist of Opozicia. Max “Twist” took the place of vocalist. At the beginning of 2006 Kura and Max “Twist” left the band. Soon after this Vlad (bass guitarist of “Ne ot mira”) became the bassist of Factor150. In May 2006 new vocalist Nikita appears. This is the current line-up of Factor150. Currently Factor150 is writing new material.  For more information: JetSpeed Records Enterprises 1626 N.

They get unsigned bands, to perform. I went to the last one and it was amazing!! i enjoyed every second. I particularly enjoyed this band Mamas Gun who stole the show, and i think they are linked to Lockout music. I found out when the next gig is which will held in Sept, and to find out some of the new bands go on to www.lockoutmusic.com [1] I found loads of bands really do have amazing talents. There is going to be this band called The Ashbies, which are performing at Lockout next and they sound so fresh.

We are looking forward to our newe-homes and hope you can enjoy them as well. The live chat will be funfor sure, everyone that has been dying to ask me all their questionswill have a field day... ha, right. But really I hope to be able to sayhey to some people that check out the site, I'm always down for somegood conversation. If that sounds like you too, we will have ourselvesa time. Speaking of having a time, lets get into the dirty on how weare rolling in style to St. Louis.... We have found ourselves onesexy vehicle for our touring, I've not witnessed the glory in personjust yet, but it will happen all in good time. McCall has told me ithas enough retro style to make a velvet suit unwravel. What will beinteresting as well is who drives it there... there is no experiencebetween the band on driving a RV. Buckle up right? I'm confident we canget it there, but once off the highway and turns need to be negotiatedis when the real fun will begin. Ha, Lemmon's Basement is going to bedowntown on a tight one way street - can't wait to parallel the thing!Besides being a serious lady magnet there will be all types of anticstaking place on that thing. Put us in close quarters long enough andthings get outta hand if you know what I mean! McCall had a sweet namepicked out but I can't bring it to mind...Cornelius or somethingsimilarly greek and awe inspiring. It will be a blast! We have alltypes of new presents for everyone just waiting to be opened as soon asthey are wrapped - the new tunes, music videos, websites, ahh theanticipation is killing me. They are coming so in the mean time keep itreal friends, I am off to see what can be done about some spaghetti!much love - brent http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/5/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/5/ 2008-08-06T13:25:00Z Well this is the second week in a row that i haven't been able to sleepin past 9 am! Whats happening to me?? Are the days of sleeping till 2over? Anyways, we have been so busy with band stuff lately.Just had 2 recording sessions in lexington with this cool dude Dwayne(is that how you spell his name?) and recorded 2 new songs that will beon our album (Static and Mad at Me) that have had good responces whendone live. It was a LOOONNNGG day the first day we went there cuz wewere there for nearly 9 hours and had a gig late the night before.Waking up at 6 am to drive to lexington wasnt my favorite part! But thesecond time we went down there we didnt have to leave till 1 so itwasnt so exhausting! Our show at Uncle Pleasants was pretty muchamazing! It was one of my favorite shows we've played (and brentagrees, we talked about it on the way to lexington). Our new song"Ghost Tour" went well and so did the rest of the set. We did somethingcompletely different in that we STARTED the set with "im a stage" whichis ALWAYS a closer for me (cuz it wears out my voice). But it asactually a good choice to start cuz it kept us pumped up for the restof the show! Well, i would love to go on and on and on and onbut we have a band meeting today and Another Place Sandwich shop so ineed to be getting my stuff together. Peace, McCall/marion square http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/4/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/4/ 2008-08-06T13:23:00Z Whats happening people Brent here saying hello and wanting to sharesome news about whats going down with M Square as of late. We had agreat photo shoot with the world renowned photographer, Scott Mcintyre,and the finished shots look great. I won't lie, he kind of makes mefeel like a rock star.... ohh Scotty. Ha, for real, you need some pics,you need Scott - he puts it down. After the shoot we had a gig atWoodhaven with the lovely Teneia Sanders and the ever jamming DudePlays Saxophone. Good show, the crowd was perhaps not so ready for somuch original music but they were responsive in a positive manner soits all good. Some storms were brewing and we had to pack up a littleearly but we got outta there before anyone got electrocuted and thatsall that really matters, right? The following day we went down toShangri-la Productions in Lexington and got to meet one of the coolestmo-fo's we've ever had the pleasure of working with. Duane Lundy'sstudio is bomb, the vibe their was top-notch, and with a bad assproducer like him it was a great time working with him. In the studiowe took swings at Static and Mad at Me, both of which will be soundinggreat once we give them just a little polish.We will be heading backthere to finish up some vocals and tweak a guitar note or two - can'twait! After the studio we got to jam out at Lakeside and we had afantastic time, the crowd was one of the best we've had in Louisville.To top it off, during the whole show Ian was inches away from fallingin the pool....I seriously contemplated dive bombing him off the drumriser and into the lanes but I figured we might get a whistle blown onus....So yea it was a good week and more are sure to follow, especiallysince Lunic is coming in town this Saturday!!!! We will get to open upfor her and we are damn excited. Uncle Pleasants is about to getrocked! Def. come out for this one, it will be happenin. Thanks forreading this, I appreciate your time and attention. take care -brent/marion square (I did give myself a haircut today, but no jaeger was involved.) http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/3/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/3/ 2008-08-06T13:22:00Z Hey good people, how is it going? I felt the need to discuss how ourfirst music video went. I’ll start from the top. We found the locationbelow the apartment - it is where Highland Fitness is going in, withthe help of awesome video director Stephen Clark. The treadmills hadnot come in yet so we were working with an empty, very dusty,brickwalled warehouse type of deal. After much shop-vacuming and 2x4relocating, we had the place looking reall nice. We got some paintingson the walls, rugs for us to play on, christmas lights all over theplace, enough candles to alert police of an occult gathering, old dirtymirrors, and antique dressers all culminating in what looked like, asStephen put it, "a bad ass loft in new jersey" (i have never been therebut i will take his word that they have the best lofts). So we had themood taken care of. Filming began, and after going through Draw theLine 20 some times I can confidently say it is Marion Square’s mostrehearsed song - so much that when we started jamming around on othertunes I felt we were way off! Next was of course, the beer. We got holdof the beer and called up some friends to bring their friends and weended up with a good crowd. The festivities began and the "party scene" - you know when the band is playing for the small crowd that lookslike they just injected mountain dew and things are wild - was justawesome. I can not believe cops did not come because we were gettingdown. In retrospect, a music video was not what I thought it was goingto be - much longer than I thought a three minute video would take andsurprised at how good we got at one song playing it over and over (I amdrawing the line on listening to Draw the Line for quite a while - Iwas beginning to think my riffs sounded like a broken record).... Wewant to thank everyone who helped make the video happen and we aredying to see it and get it on the air. I am off to bowling green,asheville, and lexington to see some good people. Keep on keeping on -be ready for some live lunch on wfpk on the 11th!!!! http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/2/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/Marion_Square/2/ 2008-08-06T13:21:00Z Hi gang... I woke up way too early this morning, ughh! I am feeling a bit anxious I suppose as I am about to embark on a journey to Japan and Europe in a few weeks. I guess I'm a bit jazzed to get going again. I will be shooting another video for "Best of Me" just before I leave because I won't be back in LA for awhile. This is my favorite song on the album. (Man there is nothing to eat for breakfast in my house... only strange food that I wouldn't feed my dog. Although he is staring at me right now as if I'm gonna let him eat it.) I went to see "American Teen" last night. GREAT movie!!! I loved it... reminds me of when I was in High school. The small microcosm world I lived in where it only mattered which girl I would take to the dance or how to avoid the bullies... I guess my life is still like that except there are more girls at the dance... I have certainly mellowed since then. (seriously though there is nothing to eat in this house!!!) So anyway I have to walk my dog before he bites my leg! I hope to see you on the road. Please stop me if you see me and say hi... much love, be good, Daniel - August 3 2008 http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/5/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/5/ 2008-08-04T00:08:00Z United States of America (Press Release [1]) July 31, 2008 -- JetSpeed Records is proud to announce that artists CHASOM and NOBODY'S FOOL are now available on iTunes.

He used to ride the horse out front of the five and dime. He always wore a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. He was always the most handsome little cowboy buckaroo and that my friend is a fact. Our little cowboy buckaroo had himself a stick horse. He loved that stick horse very much, of course. He'd ride it in the back yard and in the front yard to. He'd ride his stick horse in every room of the house if only just for you. But then he started growin' up and then he started school. He had to get his homework done before ridin' his stick horse; that was the rule. Then he no longer wanted his stick horse, he wanted a real horse. We let him take ridin' lessons but we couldn't buy him a real horse, of course. Now when he became a teenager he started to learn to rope. He told us he wanted to rodeo, at least that was his hope. In the summer we sent him to a ranch to learn to rope and ride The way they do at the rodeo. It gave him lots of pride. Now he's in the rodeo ropin' calves and bull- doggin' steers. This has been his life for quite a number of years. He also works out on a ranch. He can do most anything. He will always be our little cowboy buckaroo. And I tell him so if he picks up the phone when it rings. Yes he will always be our little cowboy buckaroo.  The Bunkhouse Cowboy. He's the Cook The cowboy looked out of the window of the bunkhouse. And saw the snow-covered mountain far away in the distance. Then he saw all the cattle grazin' near the bottom of the mountain, On the beautiful green grasses of the plains. As the cowboy watched the cattle grazin', a rainbow did appear As the rain began fallin' softly on the plains. And he saw the many cowboys herdin' the cattle up the trail, Comin' toward the bunkhouse and they were hungry, he could tell. So the cowboy in the bunkhouse quickly put his trousers on. He went out to the campfire and put a big pot of coffee on. He started cookin' bacon, steaks, eggs and stew. He wanted to make sure there was enough food for everyone in the crew. As the cowboys got much closer the cowboy from the bunkhouse Ran over to the big corral and opened up the gate. And the cowboys herded all the cattle into the big corral. Then they all yelled, "Cook, we're hungry.       Where's the food for all your pals?" The cowboys were tired and dirty so they all went and washed up. Then they all had a feast to eat. It was like they couldn't get enough. They sat around the campfire and told stories for a while. Then they all went to the bunkhouse for a good deserved night's sleep. The next day when they got up, they knew it would be another long day. For they had to do all the brandin'. It had to be done within a day or two. Then some of the cattle would be released to roam on the plains again. And the rest would be taken to market to be sold and never live again. Well, the cowboy looked out of the window of the bunkhouse once again. This time the cattle were bein' loaded on semi- trucks to go and meet their end. But the cowboy knew this had to happen so all could continue to live. For all the other cowboys needed some money to keep their own families fed. So be happy for all of the cowboys who round up cattle each year. Be happy that they are willing for some of those cattle to share. And remember that cowboy who feeds all the other cowboys so they can do their work. That cowboy that looks out of the bunkhouse window and makes sure all the other       cowboys get fed. From a Baseball Cap to a Cowboy Hat I remember a little boy just ten years old wearin' a baseball cap. He wore his cap day after day you couldn't get him to take it off. Well then one day his Daddy said, "Son, do you what to go to the rodeo?" The little boy said, "Yes, Daddy. That would be       fun" so they went to the rodeo. And as they sat watching the horses and the bulls the little boy was looking at something else. For he saw each cowboy with his cowboy hat, cowboy boots and chaps. After the rodeo was over the little boy and his       Daddy went to the gift shop. The little boy turned to his Daddy and said, "Daddy, I want a cowboy hat." So his Daddy bought him a cowboy hat and his baseball hat, it disappeared. For Christmas he got some cowboy boots. For his birthday he got some chaps. He heard about the lil' britches program when he went to another rodeo. The little buckaroo said, "Daddy, please can I be a cowboy and learn to rope and ride?" So at 11 years old he joined lil' britches and went up the ladder in the rodeo show. And then when he got to high school he kept on goin' and won at one of the rodeos. So remember this one thing all you Daddies. If you take your son to a rodeo wearin' a baseball cap, It maybe the last time he wears one, for from that time on he will be wearin' a cowboy hat.   But of Course My little buckaroo and I went to the zoo For he had never seen wild animals before. He turned to me and this is what he said, "Can I have a black and white striped horse like that one? To me that would be so much fun to have." So I told him that was a zebra not a horse. And he turned to me and said, "But of course." My little buckaroo and I walked a little farther. He saw something else he had never seen before. So he said, "can I have a horse like that one? The one with the real long neck and a back that you can slide down on." So I told him this was called a giraffe. This was not a horse. And he turned to me and said, "But of course." My little buckaroo and I walked a little farther. And there to his surprise was an animal he was sure was a horse. So he said, "Can I have a horse like that one Daddy? I think I could ride him." So I told him that was a large mule. People used them as pack animals to carry their loads up hills and rocky slopes. He wouldn't make a very good horse. And he turned to me and said, "but of course." Well, my little buckaroo is now seven years old. And one of our horses just had a foal. So I told him the foal was his to ride when the foal got bigger. And he was happy as he could be to finally get his own horse. And my little buckaroo said, "I finally have my own horse. And I said, "but of course." Coyotes C is for a beautiful CRY that echoes thru the sky in the wilderness. O is for an OUTSTANDING sound when it's heard from far away. Y is for a lovely YELPING on a silent night. O is for the ONLY sound you might hear for miles and miles away. T is for a TUNE you can listen to all night long at times. E is for a sound I could listen to EVERY single night. S is for the lovely SOUND of a very beautiful wild animal. Yes the sound of the Coyotes can sound sad and sometimes sound enjoyable, I've heard it both       ways and depending on my mood I like them both. How about you,   Saddle Pal?  Hey Lil' Buckaroo Hey Lil' Buckaroo; Take a little time to be happy Each and every day. Take a little time to be happy All along life's way. Hey Lil' Buckaroo; Take a little time to be happy If that means wearin' cowboy boots, Wearin' some chaps and a cowboy hat. But Lil' Buckaroo, always stay happy. And as you ride your stick horse every day all around your yard Catchin' all the bad guys and puttin' them in jail, Wearin' a nice white cowboy hat and your sheriff's badge, You'll sleep all night long on your bunkbed where you'll be safe tonight. Hey Lil' Buckaroo; Take a little time to be happy Each and every day. Take a little time to be happy All along life's way. Hey Lil' Buckaroo; Take a little time to be happy If that means wearin' cowboy boots' Wearin' some chaps and a cowboy hat. But Lil' Buckaroo, always stay happy. Then as you get older and a pony you get to ride All around the bunkhouse, corral and the horse barn outside, Practicin' your ropin' and ridin' for the brand, Dreamin' of bein' a cowboy when you become a man. Yes, Lil' Buckaroo, always stay happy. Yes, Lil' Buckaroo, I hope you'll always be happy. Good night, Lil' Saddle Pal Buckaroo. He Finally Felt Like a Cowboy I remember a story that just must be told. Of a middle aged man who wrote cowboy poems. He wrote cowboy poems for kids with different activities in each book. And one day he went to sell some at a junior livestock show. Well, the first day of the show they were judging horses, When the man asked if he could sit out front and sell his cowboy poems. They told him, yes, so he sat and sold his cowboy poems. He sold three that day but others said, "Come       back and we'll buy some then." So the middle aged man came back a few days later When the judging of the farm animals began. Because there was a lady who said she wanted two books for her twin grandsons. So the man brought the book even though he was very sick. But he couldn't stay because he was feelin' so poorly. So he went back home and called his Ma and Dad. They said that they'd take his books back out to the livestock show. And sell the books for him that very day. So they came to the man's house and picked up all the books he had. And they drove to the livestock show over in a near-by town. And when they got to the livestock show and set up their table, A man came by and told them they had to leave the grounds. They explained, "The middle age man had gotten permission To sell books, during the livestock show." But the man told them he was in charge and he couldn't let them stay. For others had spent lots of money to have a booth at the show. And there was no more space on all of the       grounds so they would have to go. Well that was the end of the middle aged man to sell all the books he had gotten printed up. But he wasn't through yet because he had       promised a book to a boy who showed sheep. So for one little boy the middle aged man drove all the way back to the livestock show. And he looked and looked for that one little boy. Well, he finally found the little boy's mother and she bought the book of poems for her boy. And the middle aged man, he went home never to see the boy again. Well now its twenty-five years later and that middle aged man is an old man. And he's sitting at an auction house just to see what price will be paid for his poems. You see he never sold any more poems. He had two boxes of one-hundred to be sold. And the auctioneer finally took one out and said, " I have a book of cowboy poetry and coloring activities for sale. How much do you want to open with my friends?" And from the front of the room came, "10 cents." And then, "20 cents", from someone in the back. And then, "25 cents" a voice said from the auction floor. The auctioneer said, "Goin' once, goin' twice." And just then a voice came from the back of the room, "How many book do you have". And the auctioneer said, "One hundred, sir," And the man said, "I'll take them all for 10 dollars each." "Goin' once, goin twice and sold" said the auctioneer. Well the old man started weepin' as the young man came his way. He said, "You don't remember me. I haven't seen you for years. I'm the boy you came back to the livestock show for To sell just one Cowboy Poems for Kids To. My mother told me what had happened to you. I never thought I'd ever see you again. But I took your book and read every poem at least a dozen times. And I colored the pictures and I even made up some of my own rhymes. And that book of poems made me want to be a rancher all my life. And I'm the Foreman on a ranch not to far from here. So you come home and live near me on the ranch I run. You will have what ever you need. I have a place for you to sleep. So the old man, he was happy that someone cared about him. So he lived his last years as a cowboy on a ranch At least that's how it seemed to him. And he will ever be greatful to the little boy who bought his Cowboy Poems for Kids.   Let's go to Heaven Together There were two brothers, twins at birth, and they looked just the same. When they were three they started to change but no one could really see. They both had stick horses. They rode all around Both, cowboys they wanted to be. They both joined the lil' britches rodeo show and both had fun riding sheep. When they got to high school one said to the       other, "Let's join the rodeo together." And so they both joined the high school rodeo. One rode bareback. One rode broncs. Both of them, they rode bulls. But one, he did much better then the other one and so his bother quit the rodeo. He went off and got in trouble while his brother was a star at the rodeo. Then sadness set in on the brother who was a star at the rodeo. He wanted his twin brother to stop going the way he had decided to go. So one day they both got together and had a very long talk. They said,"Neither of use has been good all the time don't you think it is time we change our lives?" And together they said, "Lets go to heaven to- gether even though on earth at times we will be apart. Yes, let's ride our horses to heaven and up there we will never be apart. Yes, let's go to Heaven together." And from that day they were closest of friends.  He was a Lil' Cowboy Buckaroo He wanted to be a cowboy from the first time he saw the paper on the walls. We moved into a new house and one bedroom had cowboy pictures on the walls. There were cowboy boots and cowboy hats,        cowboy chaps, pairs of spurs and even        some lassos. And from that day we moved into our new house he wears cowboy boots. He will not wear       regular shoes. He had to have a stick horse so he could be a cowboy everyday. And when he started havin' friends come over they had to play cowboys or go away. I know some day he'll grow out of it, I mean always wanting to be a cowboy. But until he does I let him just keep on bein' a lil' cowboy buckaroo. The other day I looked out the window and saw what he was tryin' to do. His stick horse was stuck in the ground and my lil' buckaroo was makin' him a loop. He'd throw the loop at the horse's head. It would miss and he'd try again. And then I saw him rope his stick horse and he ran all around the yard yellin', Yahoo, yahoo,       yahoo." Now every night when he goes to bed his stick horse lays right next to his head. And his cowboy boots are on the floor and his cowboy hat on the bedpost at the foot of his bed. And when he wakes in the morning and comes to eat breakfast the stick horse gets to eat too. My lil' cowboy buckaroo puts the head of his horse right in his bowl and says to me,        "We're eating, how about you?" It won't be long and my lil' cowboy buckaroo won't use his stick horse any more. And that's the sad part of kids growin' up. They don't want what made them happy before. Well, I walked in his room while he was at school.       His stick horse was behind the door. It had been broken but I didn't know it and I guess he doesn't care any more. My lil' cowboy buckaroo, he is no more. (Cry) The Missing Cowboy Do you know what happened to the cowboy Who was mendin' fences out on the plains? He was supposed to be back to the bunkhouse A week ago before we got all the snow. His horse never returned to the ranch house. No trail could we find that we could follow. No hoof prints were found in the white fallen snow. So we didn't know which way we should go. We found the last post he put in the ground. The wire was just a little ways away. He was one of the best cowboys we had on the ranch. So we'll keep lookin' for him for as long as we can. Two week had gone by. We were about to give up On ever finding that cowboy again. But he showed up unexpected to everyone's surprise. Back to the ranch on his horse he did ride. He went into the foreman with something he had to say. Most important to this cowboy was he wanted to stay. "You see, my father was dying and so I just had to go. I couldn't tell anybody. I just couldn't chance being slow. My father is much better. Doc said he would survive. But when I got to my dad Doc thought that he would die. My father is more important than any job I could have. So I'm ready to work again. If you fire me I'll be very surprized." Well the foreman told the cowboy, "Your job it is secure. You're one of the best cowboys I've known and that's for sure." So the cowboy that was missing got up on his horse. And went back to mendin' fences on the plains of course.  The Old, Old Cowboy I was talkin' to an old, old Cowboy today. He told me that very soon he'd be goin' away To that ranch house prepared for him in Heaven up above. He knew he was goin' there because it was Jesus that he loved. He said, "when I was a young Cowboy I wore cowboy hats of black. I got into trouble with other Cowboys and that's a fact. But later in my middle age I gave to Jesus my life. And I married a cowgirl. She was my Christian wife. You see, I've been a Cowboy for just about seventy-five years. But I've only been a Christian for fifty years or so. I'm eighty-seven and counting. I won't be here for long. For soon I'll be in Heaven singin' Christian Cowboy songs. Songs like, "I am a Cowboy a Christian Cowboy." And songs like, "Heaven's Ranch". Now that's a song for me. And songs like, "Let's go to Heaven Together." I like that song you see. Because when I get to Heaven my brother I will see. Yes, I was talkin' to an old, old Cowboy today. And when I was finished I just wanted to go his way. And so I gave my heart to Jesus, and to Heaven I will go. And that old, old Cowboy, all the other Christian Cowboys to me he will show. He was a Cowboy a Christian Cowboy. One Day as a Cowboy If I could be a cowboy for only one day, This is how I'd want that day to go. I'd wake up in the mornin' to the smell of chuckwagon coffee. I'd drink my coffee from a tin cup, then on my horse I would go Out to help mend some fences before the day got too hot. Then help with the mornin' round up. Then smell some stew cookin' in a pot. I'd sit around a campfire with all the other cowboys. We'd eat our lunch and tell some cowboy stories. Then we'd go out to the corral for the brandin' of the cattle. Some cowboys, they would rope 'em and I'd help with the brandin'. I'd help separate the ones too young the ones we would brand in the spring. Then I'd help send them back out to pasture 'til we needed them again. I'd sit with all the cowboys and have our evening meal. We'd sing cowboy songs and tell cowboy poems and stories for part of the night. Then I would go on night guard and help keep the cattle calm. I'd come back to the ranch in the mornin', then go home, as that was the plan. If I could be a cowboy for only a day This is how my one day would go.   http://www.musocity.com/blog/OldBuckaroo/1/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/OldBuckaroo/1/ 2008-07-18T21:30:00Z LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ JetSpeed Records) - JetSpeed Records is proud to announce the release of Finding Emo a 10 track compilation featuring some of the world's hottest up and coming emo bands.

Musically it’s an explosive barrage of arena-sized anthems and hard rock heroics with major commercial potential. Spiritually it’s a burningly passionate battle cry for self-empowerment, freedom, brotherhood, and love. Author-producer Bryan Eden’s mission seems to be nothing less than this: to raise the soul of rock from the dead with a soaring, open-hearted record for the ages. Make no mistake about it -- these are great songs carved from universal themes. Heartbreak and forgiveness, despair and hope, sexual ecstasy and romantic union, fear and trust, self-liberation and most of all the healing power of love. Eden’s genius as a rocker and spiritual messenger is that he harnesses the fiery, triumphant feel of great rock music (U2 and Led Zeppelin come to mind) to positive messages that make listeners believe in themselves and in life. Every great rock record must convince with great performances. Eden himself may be the most thrilling vocalist to emerge in a decade. Guitarist Axeshredder‘s (like Slash or the Edge he goes by his handle) blazing chops make him a candidate for Guitar Hero IV. Drummer Ruslan (“The Beast”) Moiseev combines John Bonham’s authority with Neal Peart’s speed and creativity. And on and on. In an era of overly compressed, harsh-sounding CD’s, the shimmering, vibrant sound of this record is a revelation. Mixed by legendary producer and multi-grammy winner Steve Thompson (as in Guns N’Roses “Appetite for Destruction”) the record sounds explosive, colorful, warm and loud. It is chock-fall of ear-candy (Eden must be a huge Pink Floyd fan) and is a joy to listen to again and again. Something about the optimistic mood is both infectious and addictive. Turn off the light, light a candle and listen on headphones. From the epic guitar blast that opens the record to the rousing gospel chorus that concludes it, the record will satisfy your hunger for a great work of art that succeeds in both rocking your brains out and freeing your soul. http://www.musocity.com/reviews/rusmoiseev/2/ http://www.musocity.com/reviews/rusmoiseev/2/ 2008-07-17T19:43:00Z That's right, JetSpeed Records has branched out into the Christian genre !!!!!!

For me greatness hits like a spiritual tab of acid that re-arranges my senses (and my reality) permanently and positively. Or, as a Supreme Court of Justice once said about pornography -- “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it”. According to this gut-check, as well as using my more analytical standards, Tribe of Eden‘s debut record SUPERNOVA SOUL (2008) is amazing on first listen and may happily prove its greatness over time. Here’s how I do the math. First of all, I love the fact that -- like my favorite records by Pink Floyd, U2, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin -- every song demonstrates superior writing and fresh energy. How many records these days have ten kick-ass efforts? These guys demonstrate very high ambition driven by killer talent! Secondly, to my mind every great record radiates what I call “intensity of personality”. I need to sense an exceptional life-force, a vivid being, boiling forth through the music before I hang the mantle of “greatness” on it. Lastly, I must get that thrill of barriers crashing down and more rock breaking through -- whether the barriers broken are musical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. If I don’t feel the hair standing up on the back of my neck it may be really good, but in my book it’s not great. Go to Tribe of Eden’s website. Listen to the tracks they are currently featuring. Put on your best headphones and crank up the volume. Do you hear a star being born? And get ready to remember that rock once was great, and it can be great again. http://www.musocity.com/blog/rusmoiseev/1/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/rusmoiseev/1/ 2008-07-17T19:41:00Z United States of America (Press Release [1]) May 1, 2008 -- JetSpeed Records' artists Lokixximo have been featured in this month's issue of Latin Industry Connection Magazine.

After several compilation appearances, including one on our very own _Notes From the New Underground_ series, Moldig have just released their self-titled debut in November of this year, and what a stunning debut it is! Though the band now consists of three members, Moldig officially began in 2005 as a collaborative effort between bassist/vocalist Giuditta Corgnati and guitarist Enrico Bricco. Their sound is direct- a steady, hard-hitting electric drums backing jagged ancillary guitars, steady bass rhythms, and the occasional synth line, topped off with the crème de la crème; female vocals that are far more deep, driving, and soulful than they are meandering and ethereal, immediately setting the band apart from the flock. Meanwhile, the ten tracks that comprise Moldig's debut record are infectious and catchy, infused with healthy yet non-intrusive dancefloor flair. Standout gems on the record include 'Danger', with cyclic guitar dustings laced over driving hooks, 'A Game', a track ripe for the post-punk gala, and tension laced 'The Sense', featuring some of the most powerful guitar and vocal work the band has to offer. Though the record was cut before drummer Daniele Pavignano would complete the lineup, Blacklist drummer Glenn Marayansky took to the skins from afar on selected tracks, the remaining percussion on the record the result of precise programming. Oftentimes, brevity is not only the soul of wit, but also the key to a fine record's success. Though Moldig's debut runs just shy of forty minutes, there's not a single ounce of fat to trim, and in fact, the record leaves adoring ears eager for more. We only pray the wait isn't too long, and that Moldig's refreshing and powerful sound continues to win over hearts both near and far.

I am making the video for "Next Plane Home" on Friday.  I'm a bit more excited about it than I was from making the others on the first record.  I've never been much of a fan of videos. They usually never turn out the way I thought they would.  However this time I've taken more of an active roll by coming up with the treatment myself.  Markku Lahdesmaki is directing it  (the same gent that made the album cover) truly talented... We will be on a small runway in the desert for the the "Next Plane Home".  I won't give it away but it should be very surreal and wee bit strange... if you don't like it you can blame me!!! Much love, Daniel - July 12, 2008 http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/3/ http://www.musocity.com/blog/danielpowter/3/ 2008-07-15T18:44:00Z I apologize. I didn't mean to post so many times.

I'm sitting in the Taipei airport lounge and waiting to fly home and resting my eyes on a small girl. She is staring at me and probably wondering why this strange man is wearing sunglasses in a dark gloomy lounge... oh now she is hiding behind her Father's legs and smiling at me. I wonder where she may be going. Maybe she's going home or perhaps a holiday to Honk Kong or Thailand. My trip was amazing!!! I played the Golden Melody Awards which is sort of SE Asia's version of the Grammy's. It was surreal and strange. I had no idea what was happening and felt as though i was in a pinball machine. The characters and the clothing and artists were not of this world but i loved the experience. Everything is very regimented from what you say to how long you play. Oh me.... you know I'm going to do something that was not scripted, so i gave a Chinese artist a kiss on the cheek in front of Millions of people. The label told me not to do it so of course i did it anyway... Big Deal. I gotta be me right. I love Taiwan... the people were so gracious and kind to me. I will be back early next year to tour through Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, and China. It should be as amazing as it always is. My tour manager is yelling at me to get to the gate so i have to run. Blessings to you....

No photos yet though…   On 20th June Jamie flew from LA to Barcelona for his BCJC slot (his side project with brother Ben) at Sonar festival and performed to a 4000-strong crowd. The set also featured Darren Emerson from Underworld.   Jamie's latest gadget is his Tenori-on which is made by Yamaha. Wondering what it is?! Check it out here... http://tenori-on.yamaha-europe.com/uk/ [1]   One unfortunate piece of news Jamie received recently was the sudden death of Jazz musician Esbjörn Svensson who died in a diving accident on Saturday June 14th. He was one of the most influential jazz artists in recent history - his band e.s.t became famous for their innovative mix of jazz, contemporary rock and elements of classical music which drew both young and adult audiences to their concerts all over the world. Their albums regularly entered the jazz and the pop charts, achieving numerous awards, and Esbjörn's untimely death is a huge loss to the music world.
