Well who do you think is the greatest band ever to exist? Ya know there are just so many to choose from it’s hard to tell. I think by far the greatest pop band there ever was is The Beatles.
They simply hit every range of music and have influenced coutless artists over the years. You want to learn about how to do music on your own? How to consturct songs? Listen to the Beatles first.
Some things the Beatles can teach you.
How to play percussion – In the times I have played with a band that had somebody playing percussion they usually didn’t know when to play and when not to play…They would simply shake something constantly throughout the entire song. If you listen to The Beatles who often used percussion, they didn’t do this but used the percussion to “build” a song.
How to sing and harmonize – I have heard people say “the Beatles can’t sing” Sorry…But your mistaken. They took pop singing to a new level.
How to construct songs – Verse, choirs, verse choirs, middle, verse choirs End. They simply had the system down to perfection. And they often expanded on these simple techniches and took it to new levels.
Various rhythm ideas – Like to strum a guitar? Just learning? Pay attention to the strumming techniches done on Beatles songs. The acoustic rhythms they did on so many songs is incredible. Different time signatures too.
Colorful Bass Playing – It’s amazing how much can be done with a bass on a song. Sure it can be overdone. But Paul did it to perfection.
Lyric Writing – From boy meets girl to girl loses boy to trippy kaleidoscope scenes, political revolution, drug craziness, religion, sexual orientation, comical storytelling. These guys did it all and more.
Studio Recording – Nobody had ever done the wacky stuff that they came up with in the studio. From fake stereo to delayed tape effects and backward guitars. Sure everybody does it now…They did it first.
Oh I could go on and on…But I’ll let ya disagree with me if ya want… Please, tell me why you HATE them guys…

Red Wine Good Stuff!
This friend of mine was telling me that red wine is good for you. He says it’s good for your heart. And it won’t put on all those extra claries that beer will. Of course wine is fine but wiskey’s quicker or so they say.
It’s all about moderation of course… So is a 3 liter box every day too much?
Hey…The Chicks dig the wine too.. ya dig?
Fun stuff…Till the bill comes.

Wow isn’t that the question? How do ya know if your in love? Let’s think about this a bit… Ever heard the statement:
I love you, but I’m not IN love with you?
So what’s the difference?
There seems to be some different kinds of love floating around. Agape love which would be unconditional love. And then there’s the falling in love with your mate… Of course this would certainly have conditions right?
Now isn’t it just as easy to fall OUT of love as it is to fall IN love? It has to be right? That’s why there are so many divorces and such. That just seems to be the sign of the times.
You could say I been in a few relationships (understatement) and I can say I have loved them all…But was I IN love? Gee… I guess I’ll never never know..
But there’s always next time around in the love experiences of life. They happen everyday. All that love poetry!
On my next post I am going to consider good looks, lust, and love. Ya’ll come back now ya hear?

Free music marketing. When you do a search for “free Music” or “free music downloads you don’t get any “free music” It’s all about radio. Last FM consistantly comes up #1 on in a google search… That is internet radio. Then it’s GrooveShark, Pandora Radio ETC.
These systems look and seem to work pretty good. But my goal is to get MY music heard. You know, little ole ME.
Not that the music I have done with different bands is any good or anything. But I’d like to get noticed anyhow… You dig? Heck, I wanna record contract and make millions of dollar too…. What garage band musician doesn’t?
Using basic make money online for beginners methods taught by this Grizz guy who I was introduced to by another blogger who teaches passive online income I have started a SEO campagn to try to drive traffic to my free music site.
To get “Free Music” hi on the search engine rankings could prove to be a impossible task. But what’s a mediocra song writer supposed to do? Except sing for a rock and roll band? I just gotta take on the challenge.
I’ll fill all you loyal Hip Opinion readers in later about how it’s going and let you look at the projects I have put together to try to get this agenda going.
Until Later… Happy Labor Day!

American Beer. Let’s consider it shall we?
Take a look at these 99 bottles of beer . It appears that us Americans just aint all that great at brewing beer. According to Fortune at CNN we just can’t seem to keep up the game with the forgen brewed beer.
In fact according to that fancy little interactive beer show the classic American beers are now owned by foreigners . Oh My…
Of course there’s nothing like a cheap 6 pack of Oklahoma 3.2 natural light beer from the Quiktrip huh? Oh that smooth pilsner taste. And low on calaries too!
What beer are YOU drinking this weekend?
