Theron Shelton, drummer for The Blue Method.......was beautiful.

I can't begin to recount the wonderful memories I have of you. I've been listening to your amazing drumming since EchoFace brother. Its all I can do to not claw this keyboard to its destruction. I will miss you forever. I have soooo much love in my heart for you that will never die. I know you knew it because I told you often. I know you loved me because you told me just as much. What am I going to do without you in my life? Who's gonna be my movie buddy? Who's gonna lecture me for not buying a… Continue

A History of The Blue Method

Mike Patriarca(guitar) and Tom Long(saxophone) had been in a band called Big Dog Lovin' and the lead singer died. They tried some instrumental stuff for a while. The name The Blue Method actually existed before I met them. Anyway, we met and we started what REALLY is The Blue Method in 2001. Dirty Dan Schram and David Duffin were the bass player and drummer. A disagreement resulted in their exit in the summer of 2004 when Kill the Music Vol.1 was nearly complete. Theron Shelton had been a friend… Continue

I'm not hatin'. I'm just making comparisons to greatness.

I sometimes get into heated discussions about today's singers. After expressing my views, I sometimes get called a "hater". I hate that dumb word. It's completely dismissive of any rational reason for disliking someone's music. Reasons like "Their lyrics are so crappy", or "Everyone in R&B sounds exactly the same", or "I bet you'll hear an "OH!" before this song is over". (LOL!) I actually had someone tell me that he didn't think STEVIE WONDER could really sing all that well. Crazy, right? B… Continue

Short cuts are the enemy - This won't be as coherent as I might normally write cause I'm pissed.

In the recording process it is important to be mindful that short cuts usually result in a product that is less than shining. For instance, if you want horns, save the money, if need be, to hire horns. That being said...you shouldn't even think about that expense until your song has been...wait. My advice 1st and foremost is to take the necessary time to form a band. If you want to be Whitney Houston, see if you can get discovered at an open mic (yea right) or go on Star Search or Showtime at th… Continue

Ought to be ashamed of yourself for digging on a "person" who abuses AUTO-TUNE!!!

There was a time when you had to do take after take to get that one perfect or best possible take. And that would be your finished product. Over time recording companies began to "splice". But there wasn't a whole lot of this. It'd be big sections of songs that got spliced together. Eventually, technology progressed to the point where splicing was not good enough. Artistry began to decline and only people like Ray Charles were delivering on the first or second take. Producers were splicing verse… Continue

Pittsburgh & Penn State

I'm worn out! What a great weekend though. 2 amazing nights. Friday we hit the Thunderbird Cafe in Pittsburgh. Everyone was on his game and the crowd responded. Unfortunately, I got my ass kicked in pool, but hey! You can't win em all. But there were a few first timers at the Pittsburgh show and I'm gonna say we definitely won them over. We caught some sleep and I woke up to a cold room because we got some crazy white folks in the band and they like it cold. While I was sleep, someone tur… Continue

Nikka Costa, World Cafe Live 06/29/08

LISTEN UP ALL YOU RADIOLAND R&B BIRDS!!! Ashanti, Amerie, Beyonce, Mariah Carey...you all had better start singing like GROWN ASS WOMEN!!! I wish I could lock you all up in a room for 6 months and make you listen to nothing but Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Etta James, and Ruth Brown. Wouldn't you expect to hear the influence of an artist's so-called influences in their music? And do you think if you asked any one of the above mentioned women if they were influenced by, say...Aretha Frank… Continue
