Well tax season approaches which is only coincidental to this post. Since taking on the roll of the ‘bass player’ in the band I’ve been trying to develop some more bassesque chops as opposed to my keyboard ones. So who’s heard the bass line in The Beatles’ Taxman? It is crazy good!

p.s. it is easier to hear The Beatles in stereo with headphones.
Neither do I, but I think it’s high time we all learned to do this again. I’ve noticed that people always enjoy home knitted things far more than they do the store bought kind. Plus as far as I can tell it’s way cheaper to buy some wool and spend some of your time makin up a new sweater than it is to drive to the mall and buy one. I’m just thinking.

p.s. I should put my needles where my mouth is…Ouch!
I know from music that the space you add between notes adds greatly to the importance of the notes themselves. Beethoven did it. Miles Davis did it. What more do you need you greedy fools?
I therefore suggest to you to start taking some rest. It might mean more sleep. 8 hours are recommended but more are needed if you work out or do lots of strenuous labour. It might also mean that you start taking naps during your day. Winston Churchill took an hour long nap every day during World War II so if you feel your day is that stressful then grab some shut eye quick.
We can’t forget our minds. If you are in school, learning new things at work or use your brain all day then you need to rest up the old thinking box. Find a nice brainless activity like t.v. to enjoy. Maybe try some meditation or find a hobby that allows you to relax.
I love Miles Davis a whole bunch. So naturally any of the players he had with him in his bands are on my list of artists to pay attention to. Herbie Hancock is by far one of the most phenomenal piano players of the 20th and 21st centuries. He can play great acoustic piano jazz and as I’m going to show you, some pretty dope electronic mixes too.

p.s. I think that Oasys would be a nice set of keys to have.
Winter is a time for dead plants isn’t it? Well if I learned anything from the BBC’s Planet Earth series, its that plants still live during winter, they just sleep a lot…like polar bears…or something.
But you’ve got a warm place to stay don’t you? Why not invite a cool plant into your home and spice things up so you don’t get cabin fever. Get a cactus and then you won’t even have to worry about watering the thing all that often.
We’ve all seen it. We’ve probably all done it too!
Cell phones have their advantages certainly. Call home and see if there are enough eggs to make a kische, call your GF to tell her that the snow is horrendous and you’ll be a while longer. Of course with each new development (Text messages, Instant messages, emails, internet) new social graces become necessary. It isn’t polite to text in the middle of a conversation and you shouldn’t talk on your phone during a movie.
But do we really need our phones with us ALL of the time? I’m talking the crazies who, while running at the gym, have their phones out sending text messages. Or even better yet the lady who comes to the pool and brings her blackberry in a plastic bag so that she can send off messages after every lap. Now I will admit that there are certain situations (your wife is expecting any moment, or you are a doctor on call) in which you might need your phone glued to you. But for the rest of us let’s have some patience and enjoy the time away from our social network.

p.s. Why does Beyonce make me think of cell phones? Iunno how is Beyonce so damn good?
