Euphonic Dissonance does PET SHOP BOYS It's A Sin - also, more ABBA

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance gives us more news from the studio

I'm so incredibly happy with the way this song has evolved.  I could almost cry. I've always wanted to do a PET SHOP BOYS song and now the dream is reality. I absolutely loved singing this song but I couldn't quite hit that high note at the end of the bridge. Sorry Neil Tennant ..... I'm a baritone and I just can't hit that final high note.

I chose "It's A Sin" because it ties into the TECH MESSIAH project perfectly. Also, I love the friggin' song. It's one of those songs that I probably lip synced to when it was playing at the dance clubs back in the day. Hell, these guys are so friggin' huge they are still getting played in clubs. They've won 5 grammy awards, they  have sold over 100 million records worldwide and are listed as the most successful duo in pop music history. Since 1986, they have had 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones: "West End Girls", "It's a Sin", "Always on My Mind" and "Heart". I don't think I could have chose a better group to be the first ever Euphonic Dissonance COVER SONG. There are more vocals that will be added in the future from Sarah and a final mixdown but beyond that the track is done. What do you think?

I promised a couple of blogs back that we would be bringing you some ABBA. Well, here's a sneak peak. See if you can guess the song.

We'll be finishing that one soon so check back often if you want to hear the final product.

Best Wolverine Video Game Ever - Logan like he was meant to be

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance babbles on about his favorite comic book hero - Wolverine.



X-Men Origins: Wolverine is hands down the best Wolverine video game to hit the market EVER. Why? Because it's so frikkin' bloody and violent that's why. That's the reason Wolverine fans are Wolverine fans. We get a giggle seeing people sliced open with razor sharp pointy things. There is no lack of blood in this game. If you're squeamish don't watch the following video!!!!! If you want to see Wolverine plunge his claws through a wall and clean into a guys head then watch the video cause you're in for a treat.

{If your computer is SUPER FAST you should raise the resolution from 360p to 720p. It looks so much better that way}



I wish the matching movie would have been that friggin' cool. Well, like the Rolling Stones said, "you can't always get what you want." Is Rob Zombie available to do a Wolverine movie? Then I might get my desired effect.

Now....yeah.....that was just a cut scene but there is no limit to the blood spilled via the SNIKTY SNIKT of claws in the game play. There is a move in the game called a quick kill that allows you to do terrible things to your enemies in the style of Wolverine in the comic. For instance ..... you can raise a guy over your head with one hand and gut him with your claws on the other hand ....... repeatedly. Here's a nice little video showing the Wolvie mayhem in action.



Now ..... if those videos don't convince you that this video game is worth picking up then I suppose you are one of those Wolverine fans that reads the comics for the love stories. Well, then this isn't really the game for you ... sorry. Everyone else needs to pick this one up. Make sure you get the UNCAGED edition because the other ones aren't nearly as violent. Just finished playing through it again and I just wish there were more characters to gut. Can we say expansion pack? Maybe when the next movie comes I'll get that wish. That would be magical.

Hopefully in the next post we'll have more music for you but until then here's a link that will take you to our iTunes page. Click it .... it's pretty.

Martin Atkins TOUR SMART and MYSPACE mp3 sales

* Brian of Euphonic Dissonance gives a progress report. *

TOUR SMART

Just finished the book by Martin Atkins, TOUR SMART : AND BREAK THE BAND.



Martin Atkins is the Chef Gordon Ramsey of the music world. He's a wee bit nicer than Ramsey but he uses an equal amount of swear words. I know a lot of my cronies laugh at me for reading these "how to make it in the business" books. I made a promise to myself a long time ago about this music business stuff and that was that I would never run blindly into anything!!!! I have read a lot about the music industry and the one crystal clear thing I've learned from what I've read and witnessed firsthand is that if you don't educate yourself someone will take advantage of your stupidity. I'm not going to let that happen or at the least I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent it from happening. So go ahead and laugh and scoff.....I'll be waving at you from the stage someday soon ..... oh ..... and I'll be making money while I'm doing it.

THE HATERS CAN GO SCREW OFF!!!!

Now that I have that out of my system.... if you are a musician and you're serious about making some money and you're willing to work hard then this is the book for you. Also, good news is ..... it's not a boring strictly business type book. Martin Atkins is seriously funny (what the hell does that even mean? SERIOUSLY FUNNY? That makes no f**kin' sense). But when you're dealing with messed up touring musician drama how can you not make a joke? Everyone enjoys crazy, zany rock star stories. That keeps VH1 on the air.

Oh yeah, I didn't mention that this guy knows the music business in and out and upside down wiggling it's ass in the air. He comes from deep inside the womb of the industrial music movement. After playing drums in a variety of English bands, Martin auditioned for and subsequently joined Johnny Rotten’s Public Image Limited in 1979. His first contribution to the band was co?writing and performing on the song “Bad Baby” for the revered Metal Box LP. After touring the world with P.i.L and contributing to several more studio albums Martin left the group in 1985. Over the next five years, he played with and managed Killing Joke and toured with Ministry. In 1990, while on tour with Ministry, he formed his own band, Pigface. He also worked with Nine Inch Nails, performing on the Grammy award winning “Wish” and appearing in the “Head like a Hole” video. This man has stood side by side with some of the most influential musicians in one of my favorite genres of music. Damn impressive.

Hey Martin, call me when you want to start working on your MARTIN ATKINS TOUR SMART REALITY SHOW. I got some ideas for you.
