After the horror of that day in Norway, it becomes all the more urgent that mankind starts to carve a new reality devoid of idiotic references to ill-conceived mediaeval concepts of religion and mindless social conformity based on usery and manipulation for the ends of the greedy, the selfish and the patently evil. That is the central message of this film and song.

Guitar Tech and FX Whizz May 2, 2011
Posted by Inside Bangkok Jungle in Archives, Classic, musicians in Bangkok.add a comment
The Jungle prides itself on knowing the music business in Bangkok pretty much inside out – who is playing with whom and where and when, who sucks, who is totally bad and of course where all the good gear is. Having a guitar round our necks often enough helps of course, and owning the odd priceless guitar means we need to keep our kit in perfect condition – thus we need someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to precious guitars. Someone cool who can fix things, set them up, order new bits and generally excel as a guitar tech par excellence. Oh and he stocks Suhr guitars too in his Town-in-Town shop as well as the coolest FX choices in town. You gotta go HERE!

There’s some good footage here of what’s goin’ on even if most of it is entirely irrelevant to real music lovers – but we all need to keep abreast right? There’s film and current glitz too…

Everybody wants to be rich. Musos too. Ever wonder why Bono joined forces with wannabe musician Roger McNamee in Elevation Partners? Believe me, it wasn’t to shepherd the birth of the unnecessary Palm Pre, it was to get rich. Because you just can’t make enough money in the music business anymore. Bon Jovi had the top tour of 2010. Gross was $108 million. However you split that up, you’re better off being Lloyd Blankfein than Jon Bon Jovi. Blankfein makes millions each and every year. He doesn’t need a hit record, he doesn’t need to convince punters in the hinterlands to invest, he just rapes and pillages and pays off politicians until the money comes rolling in. (more…)

Deep in the Jungle, we often lament the fact that the price of guitars is driven by the name rather than the fine work that goes into them. We hope one day we’ll find the guy making great guitars for kids who can afford them and need not aspire to the bigger names…so here’s a few pages of information to turn on that luthier-in-waiting we all want to appear…somewhere! And if you want to look at classics still with us try here.

Spotify…sells like tune spirit April 19, 2010

Spotify is a grand discovery. Let’s you play any of your favourite artists, buy their tunes, fashion their playlist – or any playlist, is open 24 hours and its free if you can handle the ads they play now and again. If you didn’t get invited at beta time, you can get the lot for 9 quid a month, and seriously the desk-bound among us at least won’t ever need to buy another CD. But you can buy any track you want any time too! And somebody must be making money out of the music-streaming service Spotify offers, mustn’t they? This isn’t the early 1990s, after all. You can no longer have a business model that says: we’re going to be a tech-sounding company, right, and venture capitalists are going to give us millions, right, all of which we are going to spend on cargo pants, haircuts and those weird trainers with ninja toes. And then, as long as we get to the stock market flotation before anybody notices that we haven’t worked out a way of getting paid for whatever our gadget does, we’re laughing. Those were the good old days. But Spotify isn’t like that. (more…)
