"Webmaster" for a music venue/bar/restaurant called World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. Pretty sweet gig.

I fell into a deep deep Post Rock obsession about 2 years ago and have since come out of it almost completely hating the genre now. After seeing Explosions in the Sky a million times the live show gets really boring. Mogwai is also extremely boring live more than once. These bands have almost...

Fedor was hit with an illegal elbow which opened up a gash on his head and the fight was called. Thats Fedors one weakness, he cuts easily.

Hello everyone. Im a pretty new bass player and Im looking to get a gigable rig as my next purchase. While I may not be gigging in the very near future, I want to start playing with drums and I know my practice amp isnt going to cut it. While amp shopping I cant help but notice the Acoustic...

An E7, which means E dominant 7, is an E major chord with a minor 7th added on top. So E major scale is: E, F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D♯ Take the root note, major 3rd, and 5th intervals of the scale to make the regular E major chord. E, F♯, G♯, A, B, C&#9839...

I dont think we "gain" anything but for people who are dominantly left-handed like myself, I have no other choice. I know it severely restricts the amount of stringed instruments I can play but Im not going to let my musical ability suffer because of that. When I first picked up a guitar I held...

My first bass! Nothing special, 90's MIM Jazz Bass. Pain in the ass finding a nice lefty bass for a good price. Link Removed

Craiglist is supposed to be for local transactions. You cant trust someone to ship your item after youve sent payment and Craigslist is not responsible for it. At least with Ebay you have some sort of safeguard when dealing with shipping items. Be very careful.

Im only 25 and I have no clue what teenagers really listen to nowadays. For some reason I dont think I want to know. In addition to all the older 60's-70's stuff I listen to there still is good music being made, but god damn is it hard to find sometimes.

Dont respond to anything that doesnt feel right to you. Ive been selling and buying things regularly on CL for years and thats the best advice I can give. Anything that involves depositing money in accounts or shipping your items just ignore. The only way you want to do business is cash in hand...

Personally I really enjoy good tattoos. If you get something that is original and meaningful Im all for it. Even though I tend to like slightly more involved pieces like sleeves and what not. On the other hand I cant possibly see how someone can walk into a tattoo place and pick something out of...

1. I was driving home late from a friends house and started to get really tired. I nodded off for like 2 seconds and I noticed myself drifting out of my lane when i jolted myself awake and cut the wheel hard because I panicked and ending up sliding into the grass section in the middle of the...

Here are pics from my area in West Philadelphia! Its not all ghetto! :) (Pics borrowed from another messageboard).

I want to be a part of the Lefty Union! I cant even hold a stringed instrument right handed!

I completely disagree that a band name doesnt mean anything, but Im also coming from a design and marketers standpoint. Your band name is essentially your brand. Its usually the first thing people hear about you even before your music. Obviously, your music can overwrite a bad band brand but its...
