So Rudi wanted to have some visuals to accompany his mix tape. Here we see lots of Mike Portnoy in action, some really tasty John Petrucci guitar work the expected flamboyance of Jordan Rudess and the near anonymous reliability of John Myung. James LaBrie shows why he is the singer for Dream Theater. A reallyContinue reading “#34 – Rudi’s Dream Theater Mix DVD”

#26 – W/C 15th April 2024
Hello my fellow music adventurers. This has been a quieter week than usual on the channel due to me trying to resolve an online hacking of my Facebook account.

#19 – People Say The Nicest Things (1)

It still blows me away that the silly little videos I make have such a positive effect on my audience. In case you missed them in theContinue reading “#19 – People Say The Nicest Things (1)”
#17 – The Power of the Negative
In employment, wherever it is, whoever it is with, there is one constant that pops up year after year after year: the annual appraisal. It’s that one time of the year when you pause, reflect, and try to be honest with yourself before talking to the boss about what went well and what could haveContinue reading “#17 – The Power of the Negative”

It’s that time of year when everyone is flooding the internet with their Spotify Unwrapped lists and telling the world exactly what they’d ben listening to for the previous twelve months. As marketing campaigns go, it’s a doozie! Get everyone else to shout from the rooftops what Spotify has done for them. Every other socialContinue reading “#16 – Is Spotify Actually Evil?”
