Further to my chat with KOTF, moved my last Snatch clip to here, awesome scene.

Also posted a vid made at our Boxing Gym, the purpose is that they both feature my favourite song: Angel by Massive Attack

no, but michael wright seems to. i wouldnt be surprised if michael brewer was also an avid player of world of warcraft.

I have no idea what you are on about, or what that has to do with my love of Rocky IV, but as long as you keep posting music vids thats cool.

Do you like Cock Rock, Dick?

Never even seen it played. I find things like that a little disturbing. I know guys that spend hours and hours (and even real money to buy bullshit for their games) doing that stuff, and it seems worthless to me. If that's what you're into, cool. But I'd rather go check out a museum or an old battlefield or something.

Now quit sidetracking Michael's topic, you nitwit!

Michael Wright

Mike, I saw you with an acoustic once with your son, are you a player?

Share some hidden talents, whats your favourite music??

I don't play the guitar so much as embarrass myself with it. I haven't learned formally, so I play whatever I can pick up by ear. Can't read music and no one's ever taught me tabs, so I'm really no kind of talent - except maybe bad.

Still, my Dad's a genius on the guitar, and I've taught myself to play a lot of his songs. He does a lot of original stuff, and in my opinion would be a freaking millionaire by now if he'd just sell his songs. He's got a great voice, too, but he says he wouldn't want to live a rock star lifestyle. I've tried convincing him that a rock writer's lifestyle could be worth living, but no success as yet. When I get my personal computer back this weekend, I'll see about sending you some of his music. I think you'll like it.

For myself, I like a lot of different things. Classically, I'm a Mozart fan, but I also listen to a lot of Borodin's chamber music. It's more relaxing than Mozart. I like Blues a lot too. Stevie Ray's guitar is awesome, and I like a lot of BB King and Nappy Brown and Tab Benoir. Ray Charles was and still is one of my favorites.

In terms of what I listen to day to day, I like a lot of classic rock. Probably because it's a lot of what my Dad used to play when I was growing up. I like the mainstream stuff, but also a lot of the less-played guys like John Prine, Dr. Hook (a few selected songs, anyway - like Carry me Carrie) and those types of sounds.

Workout music tends toward the heavier, but not overly ferrous rock. Stuff like Breaking Benjamin, for example.

And while I know people will give me shit about it, I'm also a fan of groups like 3 Doors Down. I like the pop stuff Rob Thomas did after Matchbox Twenty, too. And Garland, before you tell me what a bastard that makes me, I just don't care. I like what I like. What are people going to do? Beat me up?

Some of my favorite all around music are songs that mix genres and blur some of the lines. Mark Broussard's "Home" is a good example. It's a very bluesey sound, but also pretty "Top 40" flavored. I like it.

Of course, you just can't get any better than the world's most cryptic and meaningful song of all time:

Ice Cream for Crow by Captain Beefheart.

Sorry. The link was broken. Here's another one:

I hope DH doesn't look Mike...

I'm sure he'll see UFO's in that vid.

I have a CD you might like if you're into Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan (folk) type stuff...They're actually singing together...

Good ol' mountain dew...
