Just a quick update

As some of you may or may not know, I'm currently working on remixing different songs. As well, I'm working on some original stuff. I've only been at it a couple of months, but I'm currenlty working on a remix for Negative Earth's version of "Gloomy Sunday". I'm happy to be working on it, music is something that I've loved all my life, so is entertaining others in some form. Hopefully when it's done, depending on the final word from NE, you'll enjoy it as well. I do know, it will be added to the music player featured here. Until it's up, if you'd like you can go to my SoundCloud page and give a listen to my first three remixes....or not, they are on the player after all. lol

I'm always looking for helpful advice. It's a little difficult for me as I can't play any instruments. If you know any musicians that would like to help me out with some original instrument compositions/stems I'd love to hear from you. And I'm going to do something that I've never asked of any of my readers, please let your friends/family know about this blog so that we can hopefully increase the number of musicians that see this and hopefully would like to collaborate with me and help me get better.

Just remember I don't do this for money, this is for just pure enjoyment and a hope to entertain others.

Blog Expanion/New Music for You

Well, lately I've been going through my iTunes library and listening to music that I hadn't listened to yet, or in a while so I could rate the songs properly. The reason I tell you this is because in doing so I've found some really good music that I'd like to share. The catch is it's not rock or metal. So I've been thinking about expanding this blog from just rock and metal to include electronic, dubstep, drum 'n bass, big beat, techno and the like. I've been a fan of electronic music for years. I remember growing up and going to the skating rink hearing C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweet", Technotronic (I love you Ya Kid K!!!!), Culture Beat and all that good stuff. Man the early '90s was a good time for music.

So in the first post about electronic music, I'll share with you the albums Twin Cities Electropunk. These feature artists from Minnesota. They feature the likes of Avenpitch, Apox and more. I only listed the two artists that were the ones I saw on my playlist. So what if I'm a little lazy right now, I've been up for almost (at least it seems like) 20 hours. These releases are available for free from Avenpitch's website which will be linked down below.

If you're a metal fan and wouldn't hate to at least try and expand your musical taste pallette, give these (so far) six compilations a listen. Hey, they're free, what's the hurt?

On a side note, I'm currently working with Sony ACID and working on my own electronic music. So far, it's not bad, (in my opinion). I don't expect (or really want) to make a living doin' this. I'm just doin' it for fun and maybe someone besides me will enjoy what I make. But I'm also working on remixes for Avenpitch's "Manscaping" and some Negative Earth tracks. Wish me luck and who knows, when they're done I might just post them on here. I guess only time will tell.

Hope everyone has a great life and until next time, I'm still the one and only Crash Underride.

I can't resist

Okay, so I couldn't resist posting this song. The song is "Manscaping" by Avenpitch. It's the title track off there new EP. The song is available for free download at the bands website. Below is a quick video I made for it because it wasn't on YouTube, so I just had to share it with everyone. This song has me laughing everytime I hear it. It's honestly one of my new favorites. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. I'll be back later this month with more music for you. Let's hope I can keep this posting at least once a month thing up, I kinda like it again.

Halo In Reverse

Ok, first and foremost, I would like to apologize for the long delay. I've been fightin' my depression again and it's been pretty bad lately. So, this is helpin' me feel better so, thanks for waitin' and readin'. So, onto the music.

Halo in Reverse. Yeah, that's right this dude's name is Halo in Reverse. The first time I saw it, I'm like "How can a halo go in reverse? It's friggin' circle!" Don't let the name fool ya, he's good. He's a white-boy from Philly who's got the Indsustrial chops that liken to Celldweller, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails and Criss Angel (yes, the illusionist), just to name a few.

The first time I heard of him was when I got a friend request on MySpace. Normally, I don't add bands that request me, however I had a listen to his music had a great sound, not to mention a good name. So yeah, from the first listen I was a fan. He's got songs that range from, good to have as background noise in your headphones while you surf the internet, to songs that you'll find yourself listenin' to while on the net and semi-bangin' your head too, to just plain ol' good songs, to a couple great ones. I highly recommend the 4:41 "Pop Culture Icon". It has to be one of the best songs I've heard in the last few years. You can listen to some of his "tune-age" (that's my Pauley Shore) on his MySpace page, OR what I suggest his official website, on which he has a chunk of more songs on a pop out Flash player, which, for people like me who have computers with REALLY bad RAM, is a good. You can go there listen to his songs (sorry no downloadin') and still raise hell on other sites.
