These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. They are relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!
Canadian to conduct Cuban classical orchestra:
“When you’re a non-English speaking country there is always a question of language. I try to approach it from the perspective that No. 1, music is an international language and it doesn’t matter where you go, there is always somebody that speaks a bit of English. So between my limited Spanish and English and a bit of French and the common music of the score, which is pretty much universal we’ll be able to get along.” -Charles Cozens
20 Essential Grateful Dead Shows:
In fact, there is only one definitive list of the Dead's greatest concerts – and it includes every show they played, in every lineup, from their pizza-parlor-gig days as the Warlocks in 1965 until guitarist Jerry Garcia's death in 1995. That long, strange trip was a continually unfolding tale of highs and trials, dedicated evolution and surrender to the moment, often caught vividly in the recording studio but told most immediately each night (or day) onstage.

Iconic Producer Andy Johns Dies At 61:
"Andy is a bona fide legend. I met him in New York with Pat and Zoe Thrall when he was very condescending to me at Ruby Foo’s over some cold sake. After listening to some of my work he became somewhat of a fan, according to my friend Pat Thrall, who witnessed him listening to one of my Aerosmith mixes for hours. Andy’s legacy is huge – The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin to name a couple. Wherever it is you go to, I know you’ll keep ‘em rocking! Love and respect in boatloads.” -Kevin Shirley

Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter On Illegal Downloaders: “I Say Hallelujah To Them”:
“….I say hallelujah to them. You know, I say it for only one reason, the truth is people who download your music are your fans. Or people who are potentially going to become your fans. And if you’re going to be upset that someone is interested, or becoming interested in your stuff, then what’s the point. What are you doing?
If it’s all about money then certainly you’re going to be offended. But if your actual intent is to enjoy what you’re doing and have others enjoying it, then it should be a no brainer. I welcome all people to download the music. They won’t be the first, they won’t be the last, and for anyone to fight that… it’s futile.”
