Modena Release Second Time Around Video

Kate — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:31:34 +0000

As four guys dressed in various levels of rocker attire, from the most basic jeans and T’s to the full-on lead guitarist rockstar wardrobe, walk into the studio they exchange the same familiar barbs and ribbing that they have for the last 5 years.
The jokes about each other’s style, equipment preferences, and state of facial hair upkeep are old. What is new is the status of signed band they acquired last year when signing with independent label Filament Records; their first professional music video for Second Time Around; and the songs they are currently to laying down with producer Jamie King.There is a nervous excitement about this event, the untested songs, and the band’s first experience with King, after dropping the 2010 Second Time Around demo produced by the revered Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank, Jack’s Mannequin, Live).
The band said the decision to go with King had a lot to do with the quality of music he is becoming known for regionally, the work he has done with their label mates Irvine, and with the ability to work around schedules by going with a local producer to complete the album.

“Our label (Filament Records) always supports us in our artistic decisions and never tries to interfere with our music, but Tony (Andrews, Filament CEO) strongly encouraged us to take a long look at Jamie King. We heard some of the music he was putting out and felt like he could add some diversity to the album while maintaining the high quality that we required to go along side the work Jim had done with us.”

“Jim is like a coach, a member of the band almost when you work with him. He pushes you hard toward being the best musician you can be, and getting the best take possible. He doesn’t like to splice together two half-decent takes to make it sound synthetically correct. He prefers that everyone play their parts how they are meant to be played, rather than use a computer to make you sound ‘good.’

Jamie has a different style than Jim which we respect as well. We knew going in that we had to push ourselves and he would give us back as much as we gave. All in all, it drew us closer as a band, having both experiences. It also gave us two different sounds, which we feel like our fans will really appreciate when they buy the CD. This album will have the kind of diversity that we want to hear on a CD we purchase.”A release date has not yet been set, but the label is more “Thrilled” than Michael Jackson with the preliminary rough mixes they are hearing coming out of the studio so far. Filament owner Tony Andrews continues to rave about the edge that King leaves on the songs and the pure rock sound that brings out.
Second Time Around
The Second Time Around video portrays Modena’s vision of the title track. Complete with smashed glass, beer bottles, and the tell tale text message on the iPhone left behind, it’s a story of breaking up in the new millennium.
Currently available on youtube it will soon be added to rotation on over 22 MusicDish TV stations and web programing.

Stereoside “On Our Way” Pays Tribute To Some Greats

Corey Koehler — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:34:11 +0000

A friend of mine sent me this video the other day and I thought I would pass it along. The band is Stereoside and the song is “On Our Way.”

The song pays tribute to some of the big artists through the past 3-4 decades. One of the cool things about this tune is, they aren’t really picky about genre – both in the music itself and the lyrics. The writer is obviously a Musicgoat (we like that here).

The song starts out with this country blues feel and ends in hard rock. One verse will mention Waylon and Willie and the next will mention something about Guns n’ Roses and Alice in Chains.

Another cool thing about this tune is, I can see it relating to a lot of people – especially those that I have grown up with (Hell, I almost wish I had written this tune myself).

And the opening is a nice touch which sets the table nicely. The vid opens with a mysterious hand pouring a strong one and some mysterious inhaling sounds (hmmmm…wonder what that could be?).

AND, the dude has a cool voice. Somehow I think he can pull off some solid G n’R covers.

Anyway, enough with the ands, check it out. Let me know what you think below.

Advice From The Certified Genius – 1/12/2011

C.G. — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 15:58:41 +0000

C.G.’s Tips of the Week – Advice From The Certified Genius

How’s everyone doing? Good I hope. Happy new year everyone, here’s some new advice for the new year from your favorite producer.

Tips for life: Be thankful. The only thing guaranteed to us in life is death so I’ve come to realize that a lot of things that we take for granted like food, shelter, health and clothing really are blessings. If you look at any third world countries there are people starving to death and dying of malnutrition. Be grateful for what you do have and try not to focus on what you do not have.

Tips for producing/beat making: Diversify. Try new things musically. Don’t be afraid to go out of your element and make a pop or hip-hop beat. Even try some R&B or cross genre tracks. I used to strictly do more rugged and grimey east coast hip-hop. Over the past two years though I really worked on creating my own style and just doing my own thing musically and I have been getting a lot of great feedback. For an example, check out my new remix/cover song to G-Unit’s “Stunt 101″ here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFF1CsN4ZQU or here C.G. Productionz \”Stunt 101\” Remix/Cover Song (same link)

Tips for song writers/artists: Promote. However you want to do it is up to you but you need to promote yourself. Whether you want to use Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. is your choice but you need to get your music out there. People need to know and hear what you’re doing. In most cases a label doesn’t sign artists that don’t already have somewhat of a fan base (not in all cases but generally speaking). Even if you don’t want to end up with a major label you still need to promote because independent artists need a fan base to. Once you have the music or the movement that catches people’s attention you’re halfway there; now you just need to keep their attention.

Tips for finance: Buy assets, not liabilities. Keep this in mind especially when you start making excess money or get a raise or nice bonus. Even if you’re an artist, producer or song writer. Don’t blow your big check on a brand new Benz or big mansion (liabilities: items that depreciate in value and don’t make you any money). Instead, buy some real estate or talk to a stock broker and invest in some stock (assets: items that can make you money, if done correctly). Before investing in anything or buying any real estate it’s very important to educate yourself and make sure you’re working reliable and professional people on your investments. There’s no sense in blowing a few thousand dollars on new designer clothing and then struggling when the money dries up. The truth is, you never know when you might be out of a job or when your music won’t be the center of attention anymore. For these reasons, I believe it’s very important to purchase assets rather than liabilities. Suggested reading: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel.

I hope this advice helps to bring in the new year on a positive note for everyone and I wish everyone much love and success for 2011. Ending on that note, I’ll talk to you guys in another two weeks. Don’t forget to leave some comments and feedback too!

Thanks,

Posted by Christopher “C.G.” Gallucci of C.G. Productionz

P.S. My second mixtape Payback: Certified Genius Volume 2 will be released on Monday, February 28th. Stay tuned for that, especially if you like the remix that I posted!

Music Video For My Memorial Song “Minnesota Got Colder” (My First Video Ever)

Corey Koehler — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:53:23 +0000

As some of you may or may not know that on top of running Musicgoat, I am also a musician myself. Last May I had an video idea for my tune “Minnesota Got Colder.” I figured that you guys might be interested in checking it out and maybe even providing some feedback.

My Idea

Since the song is about remembering and since Memorial Day was on its way, I shot out an email to everyone on my email list and on the official Corey Koehler Facebook Fanpage offering friends and fans the opportunity to take part in the process. I ask them to send in pictures of deceased loved ones that they would like to memorialize.

Along with a good response , I had the help of my sister, her video camera, her Mac and the gorgeous scenery surrounding where I live (Winona, MN).

Check It Out

It was our first shot at making a video but I think that my sister and I did alright. What do you think?

Facebook Video?

If you are wondering why I embedded from Facebook its because it is a higher quality version than the one I posted on YouTube. We didn’t really know what we were doing at first and we had to convert it to a format suitable for YouTube. And since I was in a hurry – because I slacked a little early on and had to press to get it out before the end of Memorial Day – I didn’t pay attention to the obvious lack of quality (see for yourself on the YouTube version).

Anyway, hope you enjoy it. Oh, and I almost forgot (Duh! still getting used to this promotion thing lol), if you like the tune you can pick it up on my BandCamp page , iTunes, Amazon or CDbaby (i’m everywhere).

HEY! Let’s be friends! Hook up with me on my YouTube Channel, on my Facebook FanPage or on my official site, PlanetCorey.com.

What Is Joyride Rock? Check Out L.A. Based EggShell Egoz And Find Out (Video)

Corey Koehler — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:30:55 +0000

Here’s a nice find for you. I met the lead singer David Whitton of the band Eggshell Egoz in Vegas a few weeks ago. He came off as a very cool, smart guy who isn’t afraid to work. Other than finding the time for writing, recording AND pimping his music to the masses, he is a family man, owns his own club and works at another (welcome to the world of the indie artist).

I just wanted to share some of his music with all of you because – not only is he’s a good guy and deserves to be heard – BUT his music is fucking good AND is about as Musicgoat friendly as it gets. The tunes throughout their “Funky Poetz” CD incorporate a variety of influences; funk, metal, pop and a few others things I can’t really pinpoint cuz I’m writing this at a point way past my bedtime.

Anyway, check out this laid back video for one of their newest tunes, “We Ain’t Saying Nothin” and then head over to EggshellEgoz.com, listen to more and pick up a CD.

Music Plus Interpretive Art: Meet Jibilian/Setar/Wisdom (Video)

Corey Koehler — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:00:05 +0000

Here are some artists that are doing something pretty damn cool. Watch Gary Jibilian (N/S Stick), Jay Setar (Drums) and Norton Wisdom (Interpretive Artists) as they perform/interpret a tune called “Anti-Gravity.”

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago for a music conference and I had the pleasure of meeting two of these three very cool guys in this video.

Nathan “Flutebox” Lee Takes the Flute in a New Direction

Corey Koehler — Wed, 13 May 2009 01:44:17 +0000

Just when you thought the flute was strictly for use in the symphony and Jethro Tull tunes, someone comes along and adds a little beatbox and a lot of flavor. Check out this video featuring a guy named Nathan “flutebox” Lee.

This talented individual was able to take his beatbox skills and merge them with his flute playing skill. I love coming across stuff like this because it is a great reminder that there are endless ways to do something different.

Check it out as Nathan takes it outside of the box.

Very cool aye?

Make sure you stop by and check out some of his other videos over on YouTube. And while your there…wink, wink…befriend the Musicgoat. See you there!

A Few Very Young and Very Talented Child Musical Prodigies

Corey Koehler — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 01:05:46 +0000

The other day some friends on Mixx sent me a MySpace profile of a young dude named Alton Skaggs (click his name and listen). As you can hear, he is very talented and has a bright future. He reminds me a little of an amazing guitarist by the name of Andy McKee.

Well, that whole experience reminded me of some of the amazing video I’ve seen on YouTube of various child musical prodigies. Young children that play instruments and sound like they have been playing for years.

I went and I rounded up a few videos to share with you. Check’em out now.

A little “Crazy Train” from a little guy whose guitar is bigger than him.

And listen to this guy play the blues. Damn, just wait until he gets his heart broken!

Jawdropping classical piano from a little girl.

A young Neil Peart in the making.

And check out this little drummer boy with the HUGE smile on his face.

I know there are plenty more, so if that wasn’t enough for you, just hop onto YouTube and see what you can find.

Oh and I’m not on YouTube a whole lot but if you are in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi. I’d love to see what vidoes you are checking out. I am Musicgoat1.

See Why Henry Rollins is Pissed (Video)

Corey Koehler — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:51:50 +0000

You might know Henry Rollins the musician but did you know he was a talk show host too? Thats right, he hosts The Henry Rollins Show on the Independent Film Channel. I stumbled across it the other night, loved it and had to share it with you.

The first thing that caught my attention was his commentary segment called “Teeing Off”. Boy does he ever. He is in your face and for good reason. Rollins believes in what he’s saying and has the balls to say it.

The next segment to catch my attention was the one with live music performances. Taking a look through his video archives, I found it to be very Musicgoat friendly with artists from all over the map. Artists like Ben Harper, Slayer, Bob Mould, The Stooges, New York Dolls, and the list goes on.

And finally he has the interview segment. He delves into the minds of polarizing figures like Oliver Stone, Chuck D, Larry Flint, Sinead O’Conner, Marylin Manson and, once again, the list goes.

I don’t always agree with the Rollins or his guests – and either will you – but therein lies the beauty. Entertainment the entertains as well as makes you think and grow.

If you like challenging your beliefs with intense and inspiring free speech, expanding your musical taste and hearing from loads of interesting poeple, you need to check this show out ASAP. Check your local listings for show times in your area and stop by the The Henry Rollins Show page on the IFC website.

…Oh yeah, before I go, heres a little sample for you. I found this on YouTube.

The Music of Apocalyptica: Thrash Metal Without Guitars (Video)

Corey Koehler — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 19:29:06 +0000

If you are a fan of metal music, classical music or even both, then today is your lucky day. I was surfing around and came across this video by a band called Apocalyptica doing a cover of Metallica’s “Fight Fire With Fire.”

Now this isn’t your everyday local cover band version either. These dudes put a whole new spin on it. First, as you watch the video, you’ll notice that there are no guitars. Next, you’ll notice that the music is still just as heavy.

I searched around and noticed that Apocalyptica did a few other metal classics like Metallica’s “One” and Savatage’s “Hall of the Mountain King.” You will want to check them out as well.

As you would expect, being a musicgoat, I’m a big fan of this kind of stuff. It opens up doors for fans of one style of music to another style of music.

Hell, this is about as cool as when Pat Boone did “In a Metal Mood.” One minute I’m tapping my toe to “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin” Pat style, the next thing ya know I’m checking out Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett and really digging it.

Anyway, check out the video. I’m going to see were I can download some of this stuff.

Uncensored and Raw: Witness Life on the Road with the Band Jetboy

Corey Koehler — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:37:29 +0000

You and I both have our ideas about what life must be like for rock bands on the road. Whether it the penthouse suites and first class treatment of superstars like Bon Jovi or the lonely outsider depiction outlined in Bob Seger’s melancholy classic “Turn the Page.” Today you get a chance to see – and hear – for yourself what it’s like for lesser known, harder working bands to be on the road.

For a few weeks now, I have been following a guy named Micheal Butler around the Midwest. Micheal Butler is the host of one of my favorite podcasts called the Rock and Roll Geek Show. Since he is also the hired gun on bass for the band Jetboy – who is on tour with Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy – he is documenting snippets of the tour on video and audio for all to see.

Unlike much of the scripted reality stuff on TV, this is about as legit as it gets. You get to see (and hear) first hand what its like to be in a band on the road.

For anyone, the series is solid online entertainment. Its interesting, addictive and good for an occasional laugh. For the real rock and roll fan it is must see.

Watch as these California rockers travel though the midwest while human nature and old man winter throw everything they can at them. Check out the Rock and Roll Geek Show Jetboy tour updates starting with day one now, follow along and be glad you did.

A Video That is Clever, Funny and All Country

Corey Koehler — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 23:06:50 +0000

The song on this video is pretty funny and I just had to share this with you. I heard it a few months ago on Adam Curry’s Podcast “The Daily Source Code.” I was going to post it then but forgot about it until the other day when a friend of mines wife emailed it to everyone.

The name of the artist is Rodney Carrington and the song is “Show Them To Me.” I don’t know a whole lot about the guy but I do know that his style predominantly country and he writes some damn funny songs.

Check it out and be sure you listen to the words closely because you will crack a smile.

Another Eddie VanHalen Video

Corey Koehler — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:02:45 +0000

Did you see my last post with a video of Eddie VanHalen in his home studio? Well Keith Dick over at LifeTimeGamer did and this is what he had to say;

I think he needs a few more cigarettes stuck under the strings on the headstock.. hehe…Nice find keep â€˜em comingâ€¦

I too appreciate the trade mark cigarette on the headstock and since Keith wants more, he gets it. Here’s a video I found of Eddie putting on some sort of exhibition. This isn’t one of his best performances but he has the cigarette and, what I think is, one hell of a buzz.

Check out the video and see if you can guess what his blood alcohol level is.

WOW! Have You Seen and Heard Andy McKee?

Corey Koehler — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 04:12:32 +0000

You and I will never look at guitar the same again. In the videos below a man named Andy McKee raises the bar for guitarists everywhere. To call him a master would be an understatement. See for yourself…I’m going to figure where I can download a couple tunes or order a CD.

Isn’t he awesome?

Better yet there is a lot more. He has a ton of stuff on YouTube and all of it is beautifully addictive. You ~~can~~ need to visit the official Andy McKee website to find out more about this guy and his gift.

Thoughts on the Last Few Nights of American Idol

Corey Koehler — Thu, 24 May 2007 13:01:51 +0000

This almost pains me to discuss American Idol because I think the show is a tad bit cheesy. However this is the Musicgoat and there were some good music moments on last nights show.

First, I want to give it up 17 year old sweetheart Jordin. She really brought it and performed with a ton of emotion over the past few nights and you know as well as I do that that is the ticket in music. Every song seem to be in parallel with what she was experiencing. She has a bright future. Oh and is Ryan Seacrest that short or is Jordin just that tall? Find funny seeing them stand next to each other.

Blake on the other hand seemed to be a little out of his element. I almost felt bad that he had to sing the final song. It just wasn’t him. It would be like having Justin Timberlake sing a bad Celine Dion song. They should have let him arrange it ala “You Give Love A Bad Name.” He may have improved the tune and had a fighting chance.

Speaking of the song “This is My Now.” Is it just me or does every American Idol finale song sound the same, sterile. Maybe if it was stripped down and intimate with o lot less orchestra.

Chris Daughtry closed the first show and showed everyone that he is the true idol from last years show. He is everywhere, and outside of a few Ford commercials, I haven’t heard anything from the people that finished in front of him. Things always seem to find a way of correcting themselves if you let them.

Joe Perry and Kelly Clarkson doing a Beatles song. Anything is possible. Wonder if he was able to have a few drinks with her after the show (wink, wink).

One last thing, I don’t care what anyone says about Simon. The guys is a genius and his honesty is refreshing. I would love to have the guy critique my gigs.
