Slash evidently has a new album coming out on April 6th called Slash and Friends. I first heard about this on the Music for Relief sitewhen the initial news about Haiti was trickling in. Several artists were asked to donate a pre-recorded, but yet to be released song to be included on an album – the proceeds of which went to Haiti relief efforts. Slash contributed the song Mother Maria - which was recorded during the Slash and Friends sessions but will not make it to the album. This is an amazing song.
It is true friends, I am running for Board of Trustees in here in Erie, Colorado. It won’t be long before you’ll see my signs around town etc. I feel I can do a good job for Erie and its citizens. Please check out my campaign site. Hank Pantier for Erie Board of Trustees to learn more about this aspect of my life and how I intend to serve Erie.
I had lunch with a friend today and we started talking about mix tapes. Think back to high school, and tapes – pre-CD, pre-iPod…yeah those ones. He told me about this site where a fella makes virtual mix tapes to share with his friends. The we started talking about categories of mix tapes – “Alphabet Blues” (one blues song that starts with each letter of the alphabet, for a 26 track mix tape, etc. I got inspired so I present you with 8 Colors. Obviously I did not perform these songs, all I did was mix them…
