While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…

Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears.
Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").
I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)
words and music by VIVIAN CIRCLE
Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
On Growing Old

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!

Gary from music by computer suggested a re-master with less drum volume - your choice http://micro.soonlabel.com/17-ET/daily20110125b-17-reasons-I-hate-the-blues.mp3

Reg has been up to his womanizing ways and has ended up dancing on his own. reg came up with another great funky tune and Reg had to jump all over again. Hope you Funk IT.........
**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself**
Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave.
Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.

Norm, I love it. This is all new to me and I'm digging this venue. We'll have to do a song together.
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Beautiful Norm. There will be some great collaborations with this piece for sure! RIP JS
Nice mellow track bro. tempo and beats are right on the money.
Lovely.
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Performed in whispers. Beautifully and tastefully done Norm.
How cool man we both did a toast to the Stone Age and didn't even know it!! Sweet to hear some new beats from you.
One of your more mellow jams....Rest in peace Johnny.

You must have been hammered with snow! Nice work Dave!

Lovely.
This is a masterpiece!
Lovely!
Tragic!
Fabulous story.
Your vocals are too hot for covers.
Oh so funky.
To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!
I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!

I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.
Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.
Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!
Love the percussion pattern here.
