Like his spiritual forefather, Lenny Bruce, the late Bill Hicks was a comedic visionary who used a profanity-laced approach in skewering societal sacred cows and made people simultaneously laugh and feel uncomfortable. Hicks' politically incorrect ...
A hero long since dead, but never forgotten. I got into Bill Hicks 2 years ago when I had watched his HBO One Night Stand. What I saw was the outlet to which I may agree with. I couldnt believe it, someone who had similar ideas. I began to do a lot of searching on the internet in order for me to learn as much about him as I possibly could. Bill's last album, Rant In E-Minor is his best album. It takes all of his hate and disgust for America and throws it back into our faces, showing us how much we have been lied to. Bill was defenitly a preacher. He preached his prophetic truths and allowed us to realize that we are most defenitly screwed as long as the government is controlling us.

$15.35 Danish guitarist Steen Grøntved is a veteran of the session music scene having appeared on countless releases over the last few years (within Denmark mostly) across many genres. Steen makes his debut onto the instrumental guitar platform with the fusion/jazz/rock rich ‘Night Vision Goggles’. The album is home to 12 tracks that travel through a myriad of tonalities and cultural expressions with an end product that is very accessible and possesses strong melodic content.On the music Steen has offered some of his observations. 01 Timber: this song was actually one of the last ones I composed. I was listening a bit to a Greg Howe tune called Jump start on the record ”introspection”, and you can maybe call it a weird paraphrase on that tune (before it got loose!). I call it timber because the stabs in the intro reminded me of a tree falling.02 The Worm: the composition of this tune is rather not-ostinate-like. One of the reasons is that it is composed and arranged completely without an instrument. It is actually ”written”(with small bars) directly into the key-editor of Cubase. It was one of the first songs I composed and at that time I didn’t have a midi-keyboard. 03 Playground: this track was a little yellow-jackets inspired. It is a very simple melodic, very soft and easy going. A fast composition, it almost made it self.04 Home planet: a melodic little space-pop tune. 05 Run: when I composed this tune it was actually meant to be a Satriani-like tune. I asked a Danish R&B producer (named Ezi cut) to mix it and the result is something-Joe-Satri-R&B-ani-like! I don’t think I ever have heard that before! (is that good or bad?). The solo has at the beginning a conventional picking sequence, next a long sweep-picking sequence and after the B-part a long tapping sequence. The sound you hear at the very end, is the drumsticks that are being laid down on the snare drum. 06 Bye: ohh haven’t we all tried that?, Can’t fall a sleep because of a heartache. A different version of an internationally famous song, in Danish called ”Mester Jacob”, nobody knows who composed it, so I guess there’s no copyright on that one!! (he-he).07 Secret lab is like the brother for track 02 The Worm (Same-story). 08 My Butterfly: a nice and calm 8-finger tapping tune..09 Still Here Josef is singing the intro while he is slapping his leather pans in a very naughty way!10 Round and around: The bass is making a melody and baseline at the same time, which is typical of some west-African kinds of music. The voice in the beginning saying ”one two” is a Macintosh speaking (I think it is Fred?). ...
