This past Friday I was in “a mood”. Tim Schuldt’s hard guitar psytrance fitted my mood. I first heard Schuldt’s music on a mix tape many years ago. I recently discovered on YouTube that the track was Absurd from his Single-Collection (2000). YouTube user DennisRoshal says it well — the track is “epic”. I’ve created a YouTube playlist featuring some of Tim Schuldt’s psytrance work for you to enjoy, starting with Absurd:
You can find out more by visiting Tim Schuldt’s website (which currently points to his MySpace page). To find out more about the other tracks found on the YouTube playlist above, check out Tim Schultd’s discography at Discogs.

While on YouTube last week, I came across a really cool music listening emoticon that was so good, I felt obligated to share. Here it is:
d(-_-)b
The emoticon was used by Razielts1 as a comment to the Astrix – Kali Gms Rmx Revolution Reloaded upload (psytrance):
Of course, I think you can understand why I like it so much — just look a the Knobb Music blog logo. (This logo is also my personal logo, custom designed for me by Steven J. Barnes, founding partner of Two Brained.
QUESTION: What is your favorite music listening emoticon? Please share your emoticon creations in the comments section of this post.

If you are someone who can appreciate finely crafted acoustic guitars and you find yourself in Vancouver, BC, Canada this February (2010), you may want to consider checking out The Canadian Guitar Showcase at Tom Lee Music (929 Grandville Street):
“The Canadian Acoustic Guitar Showcase includes a historical display highlighting the beginnings of Larrivee, Morgan and Seagull, including many old photos, written histories and early Canadian-made guitars. Also included are interesting artifacts such as inlay examples, guitar parts and woods.”1
To find out more about the event, please visit the Canadian Acoustic Guitar Showcase page on the Tom Lee Music website.
Here are links to sites of the guitar manufactures highlighted in the showcase:
It’s worth noting that there are many other fine Canadian acoustic guitar manufacturers. For example, my steel-string acoustic guitar I call Blue was built by Simon & Patrick Luthier. Blue was a fine guitar in it’s time.

This past Sunday I discovered that I can still listen to one of my favorite Toronto radio programs: The Prophecy on CUIT 89.5 FM. I listened to this show for many years from the mid-1990s until I moved to the Westcoast around 2004. CUIT 89.5 FM was one of the few Toronto radio stations with a signal strong enough to reach where I was living out in the country-side outside of Toronto. It was through this radio program that I was introduced to the jungle and drum-and-bass genre (which is based on the “Amen Break“). Thanks DJ Marcus, DJ Prime, and all the others involved — you’ve help enrich my life musically!
Here’s how you can listen to the show:
The show airs every Sunday from 8:00PM to 10:00PM EST (5:00PM – 7:00PM PST for those tuning in via the Internet here in Vancouver). I’ve loaded the live stream into iTunes and I look forward to tuning in next Sunday.
If you like the show, you can become of The Prophecy on Facebook.
