Dave Matthews Band Newest Album Release

After a hiatus of sorts lasting four years, the Dave Matthews band has come back with their latest contribution, “Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King”. bands such as Moe or Phish. With their newest release, the DMB goes into a new direction and expends on a more mature approach towards music and it’s influences while mourning the loss of their dear friend and founding band member, LeRoi Moore.
Many believe that the band came back together to make a tribute album, of sorts, to Moore. “Funny the Way It Is” is most likely the track that most resembles the old Dave Matthews band sound while encompassing their new direction. Other songs on the album, such as “Alligator Pie” and “Baby Blue” show the influence on the band from their time apart, working with other people such as former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty, and their experience recording in Louisiana with producer Rob Cavallo.

With a Delta Blues sound, along with New Orleans French Quarter influences this album show the bands ability to play, despite the loss of Moore.

Practice Guitar – Revealed: 4 Easy Tips To Practice Your Guitar Chord Changes

One of the first things a new guitar player will learn is how to play basic guitar chords. As soon as you learn how to play a minimum of two chords it is time to learn how to practice your guitar chord changes.

Guitar chord changes are when you switch from guitar chord to another guitar chord in a smooth and flawless motion.

If you are finding chord changes to be challenging while you practice guitar, let’s take a look at four easy tips on how to practice your guitar chord changes.

1. Memorize your guitar chords: The best way to practice your guitar chord changes is by memorizing your guitar chords.

2. Practice chord changes without strumming: Practicing your guitar chord changes is challenging enough without having to worry about the rhythm aspect of your guitar chords. Once you have mastered your guitar chord changes, you can incorporate switching your guitar chords with the various strumming patterns you have learned.

“Radio” Is One of the Most Under-Rated and Under-Appreciated Films in Movie History

“Radio”—the true story of high school football coach Harold Jones and a mentally-challenged young man named James Robert “Radio” Kennedy—might well be one of the most under-rated and under-appreciated movies in film history.

James Kennedy was nicknamed “Radio” by the townspeople of Anderson, South Carolina because he was always listening to discarded radios. After some football players on coach Harold Jones’ T. L. Hanna High School team harass, intimidate and scare the living daylights out of Radio (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jones befriends and protects Radio by slowly winning his trust and inviting him to the team’s football practices.

Fortunately for Radio, his unpretentious love and loyalty to the coach and players resonates, and Radio is allowed to remain part of both the team and the school. At this point in time, Radio is attending school, not as a student, but as a positive influence on the students and a welcome school-helper.

Radio is about love, acceptance, approval, understanding, compassion, kindness, loyalty and finding peace in our time. Radio was a terrific movie with a genuine message of value.

I am incensed that Radio was absolutely snubbed at major awards time. Before Radio was made, Ed Harris had been nominated for 3 Oscars as Best Supporting Actor (”The Hours”, “The Truman Show” and “Apollo”) and been nominated for Best Actor in “Pollock”. Add to those honors 4 nominations by the Golden Globes and a Best Actor Golden Globe for The Truman Show.

The really good news about Radio is that Radio is still helping coach the Hanna High School team and bringing his presence to the school.
