- you. me. chicago. august 1-3.
Anna and I have launched a campaign, to recruit as many people as we can to go to Lollapalooza this year. The three headliners are Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and Nine Inch Nails, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. This could be one of the best festivals to ever grace the Midwest. [...]
- Post Gig Wrap Up
Well this past Friday I got to play my first gig in a long time. I think the last time I had a gig was when I was in my second year at Ball State. Our short lived career back then consisted of two shows and neither one went well. This time however, the band [...]
- Doc’s in Muncie
This is just a reminder that I will be playing with Tyler Bender at Doc’s in Muncie, Indiana, tomorrow at 10:00 PM. If you are around, come on out. Should be a good time.
Also, I slacked on my Arrested Development a day, but I am back on it. So here is Episode 2. Just a [...]
- Updated Reel
I just uploaded a new version of my reel to video.ryanbillingsley.com. Give it a look and let me know what you think in the comments.
Also on a different note, I will be playing with Tyler Bender at Doc’s in Muncie on April 4th so if you are around, come check it out.
- Hammered Dulcimer
Have you seen this thing? I mean I know it is incredibly old but I just saw one for the first time and I was really shocked. I have always thought of myself as a percussive person. I, like everyone else, wanted to play the drums when it came time to pick [...]
- This will be a quick one…
Had to get this in before the bell so to speak, but I am going to manage. If you haven’t, for whatever reason, gotten on last.fm, that is http://www.last.fm then you need to. See what you are listening to, what others are listening to, get recommendations. All very cool and something worth [...]
- Ghost
I picked up the new NIN instrumental epic today. 36 tracks of a twisted soundtrack by one of the great musical composers of our time.
After going through the whole album, it is hard to isolate any part. It really feels like you are being lead through this eerie story that only Trent could [...]
- Forums + theory = headache
I am a forum junkie. I use them to learn a lot of things and for the most part they are helpful. However, when I tried to apply this to learning my scales and chords on bass, they have been nothing but a nightmare. They need some sort of rating system to [...]
- Out with the old and in with the new
For at least 8 years I have been playing through a full stack with a Carvin R1000 powering a RL410 and RL115 cabinet. It was a ridiculous amount of power for the money. I found the R1000 while I was working at Mars Music. Someone had traded it in and so I [...]
