Mission Rockstar

OK, first things first. I listened to Tyler Fortier’s album more today, and liked it even more. It’s good. Get it.
Second thing. If I’m going to be a rock star, I think I should lose my beer belly. Beer belly’s just aren’t that cool. I mean, they’re kinda cool to play with when they’re your own. [...]

I got Tyler Fortier’s CD in the mail yesterday. I like it so far but have only listened to it once through. I’ve met Tyler a couple times… I know one of the girls who sings on the album a little better. But in any case, I hope to get some of his advice when [...]

Update: I’m pretty sure I was wasted when I made this playlist. It looks ridiculous.
I freckin’ love that new White Stripes single. So I put it at the bottom of a itunes playlist that I also like a lot. It’s interesting.
I made it into an iMix. Or at least I requested that it be made [...]

You might remember I mentioned Tyler Fortier in an earlier post. He had a song called “Walking Blocks” that I liked a lot. I bought the album off CD Baby, and it’s good.
He’s got another album out, so I just submitted an order. If I were you, I’d get both of them too. I haven’t heard the new [...]

Speaking of shitty lyrics… I’ve studied screenwriting a bit, which is writing scripts for movies. I watched “Another 48 Hours” the other night, and it had some terrible, terrible dialogue from the villains.
(And the main villain’s secret identity was completely obvious! There was no other reason for him to be in the movie, always a [...]

I finally found a place to download Into The Mystic. I got it off Yahoo’s Music Jukebox thing. Personally, I hate that piece of software. I think they’ve intentionally made it impossible to get that song onto my iPod without paying them $20.
NO! I’m not paying them. So I just listen to the song on [...]

I bought Kurt Cobain’s journals the other day. Many of you know Nirvana is my favorite band. I’ve written about them in more than one post.
I really respect Kurt’s music philosophy. One thing he said that has stuck with me was that lyrcis were always secondary to him. I plan on trying to write really [...]

I found more instructions on how to become a rock star. So far I’ve completed 3 of 5 steps. I don’t think this set of instructions is as in-depth as I’ll need, but they have some good points.
I really liked one of the tips in the sidebar that suggested I start selling my autograph on eBay. [...]

Ok, it’s been over a week since I posted last. It’s not because I’ve been slacking off, I just kinda forgot I didn’t have to post guitar updates everytime.

(And I just completed this ridiculous cleanse that I’ll tell you about, probably later tonight. Gotta work now.)
So I’ll be posting what I’m thinking about over the [...]

It’s been 11 days since I last placed any audio from me playing the guitar. And the truth is, I’ve been working on the same damn song ever since.
I’m trying to master “Surfin’ Safari” and “Spy To Spy.” At first I was pretty good at both, but I decided I needed to learn to downstroke [...]
