Music Hey everyone. I gotta say my new toy has me loving music all over again.
My dad got me a 80G Zune for Christmas. The music and video blow the I Pod away!
Anyways I was digging though my CDs ripping them all over again.(lots the 30G,full, hard drive that had them all.
I came across one of my favorite CDs Plastic Joe's Insidious Mind Candy
Looks like he resirection of that band has started. Anyone who likes good hard music check it out. Hypocricy II is a good track. I was lucky enough to see them live
Now if I could get the owner to shoot me a copy of the cover art for my collection I would be set!
BTW Microsoft rocks!

Damn, can ya feel the love... I think I'm getting all misty here.. LOL
We're one step away from the Judy Garland "You Really Love Me" moment here... ROFLMAO
But to dispell any rumors.. I am going to start playing music again seriously, but I'm not going to resurrect Plastic Joe. I've switched from playing guitar to playing drums, so there's no telling what will be next up on the plate.. Hopefully it will be something better than the last one.. I couldn't bring myself to step into Mark's shoes as a drummer (especially considering it would take me years to get to his level), and it would be too tough to recreate the other elements of the band with different people. So anything I do at this point will be brand new, and probably a lot different.
Personally, I'm thinking something more electronic... like maybe a Linkin Park / Evanescence kind of thing musically.. The drum kit I'm putting together is set up with both acoustic and electronic drums, and is designed to be able to trigger loops, samples, and sequences... so there's a lot of possibilities there.
Anyway, I think this is what you're after, Ellis... Dunno how big you want it, but this is pretty large...

Oh and Ellis.... you might like this.. I dug my white 7-string out for the first time in years and made a video of me playing my part in the song "Preacher Man". I'm pretty rusty (it was the first time I'd played this song in years, literally), but I think it came out okay despite a couple of mistakes.

There's a whole crapload of other videos on my profile if you wanna see the ones I'm talking about in this video... one that is particularly getting a few people riled up is the one of me playing Rock Band and instead of singing the vocal parts, I'm playing a kazoo.. and I scored a 100% / 5-star rating on the song with a top 25 score on XBoxLive.. LOL

Interesting thread! I didn't know about Zeke's music history. I just listened to some Plastic Joe and then checked some of those Youtube videos. Great stuff! It got my 7 year old's attention, because right now Guitar Hero is his favorite game. You're good man!
I've tried GH and used to play some guitar. Not nearly as good as you... I can't help from really hittin the strum bar, must be from playing habits? My kids just push it real easy. Hah we just beat GH2 last night and the Freebird ending was hilarious!
Rock on d00dz!

If you want a copy, you can do a couple of things... the link in the first post of the thread goes to a page that has a link to order it ($10 + shipping, and in case you wonder, I do not make any money off the discs)..
Or, if you're gonna be at the track or a GTG sometime, I can bring some and I'll give you a copy of it.

To everyone. I got to see Zeke and his band perform live in Seattle. They rocked! I did not meet Zeke for a year or so later. I did not even know for another year or so that he was in the band.
One day we got to talkign about music and he gave me this disk. I was thinking sure how good could it be. He is working as Microsoft. It has been one of my favorites since the first time I listened to it.
BTW it is not for the children. More for the thinking adult

CD Baby is a reputable company, so there's no worry about ordering from them. I have been getting CDs from them for years without any issue.

Wow, not bad Zeke, didn't know ya had it in ya, lol. My buddy for 30 years plays in his own band and went and seen him play at the pub new years eve, he's got a recording studio at his house, however, never has gone as far as your production. Anyway, I dug your sound and also picked up a CD. I tried guitar lessons when I was young, but flunked out, so I know not everyone can pick up a guitar and play. Hey, could I use one of your songs for background on my intro page in my web?
