Okay, daron has decided to keep his trap shut this month, poor thing. He’s pretty stressed out right now. So I’ll do the Liner Note this month. This week Daron’s Guitar Chronicles is one year old! We launched officially on November 9, 2009. Thank you for reading! And this month, thank you for all the […]
First off, a note from Cecilia, who had this to say: “Congrats everyone on getting the 100 requisite “points” to trigger bonus posts for the whole next month. Starting Monday Oct. 11th and running through Saturday Nov 13th there will be at least 3 story posts a week, which will bring us right up to […]
Cecilia: We’re both here today. Daron: I wouldn’t let her do it without me. Cecilia: Like I’m ever without you. Daron: Whatever. All I really want to do is share guitar porn, like this: New Les Paul Florentine from Gibson USA. Cecilia: You realize that guitar costs more than I’ve earned so far this year. […]
(Thanks to all who donated so that all readers could enjoy this piece, the SPIN cover article that Daron was refusing to read the rest of. It actually cuts off just before Bart’s Q&A, but it was at 3000 words and I had to stop somewhere or this would never get posted!) [You can now […]
Phew, Daron here. Time for a liner note. It’s been an intense series of posts lately, I know, and this is a good pausing for a breath. It’s Web Serial Writing Month (WeSeWriMo) and here’s the first of the minimum two promised for the occasion. There will be at least 3 story posts every week […]
Cecilia here. So, the offices described for “BNC Records” are the offices of what was RCA Records back in the day. I didn’t change anything. RCA started out as Radio Corporation of America in the 1920s and when I first set foot in their offices in 1984 they hadn’t yet been through the mega-mergers and […]
Daron here. A couple of people have commented here and there about how crazy all the music biz stuff seems. All I can say is, yeah. There’s an element of random luck in there, mixed with a kind of karmic flow of who you know and where you were at the right or wrong time. […]
Okay, C. had her say last time. My turn now. I have no politics or history to regale you with. Just COOL STUFF. See The Runaways movie. I was totally blown away by how Kristin Stewart IS Joan Jett. Holy crap. And I mean not just looks like her, sounds like her, but plays the […]
Hey ho, Cecilia here. Daron’s feeling anti-social today, so I’ll make the notes. I figure now’s my chance to post some things that will make him cringe! *evil laugh* First, some moments in history I bear in mind: May 1983: The Hunger, starring Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie, is screened at the Cannes Film Festival. […]
Daron here. It’s time for a liner note, if for no other reason than OH MY GOD FOLKS YOU DID IT! Thanks to you this here website has won the 2010 Rose and Bay Award for crowdfunded fiction! We won! I say “we” because this really is a group project, and it was followers/readers like […]
