    Volcano (Damien Rice Cover) - Folks.

    Download.

    It is finally here, my dedicated and loyal followers, just as we promised. We finally sat down and re-recorded the song that you guys have been asking for. We first recorded this song 3 years ago in a bedroom, and haven’t even thought of touching the recording since, but after seeing the wonderful feedback we got on the video our friend Luca Venter made we decided to head back to it, and here it is, matured voices and all. Just wait for the originals we have in store.

    From Mr. Holland's Opus

    Vice Principal Wolters:I care about these kids just as much as you do. And if I'm forced to choose between Mozart and reading and writing and long division, I choose long division.
    Glenn Holland:Well, I guess you can cut the arts as much as you want, Gene. Sooner or later, these kids aren't going to have anything to read or write about.

    Amy Winehouse - “Valerie (cover)”

    I saw someone’s comment on Facebook this morning that read: “No real loss there.” Whoever wrote that obviously hasn’t heard this song.

John Mayer recently revealed why he dropped out of the Twitterverse last fall. The reason? He was a musician who couldn’t write any music.
“I realized about a year ago that I couldn’t have a complete thought  anymore, and I was a tweetaholic,” Mayer admitted while advising students at a clinic at Berklee College of Music in Boston. “I had four million Twitter followers, and I was always writing on it. And I stopped using  Twitter as an outlet and I started using Twitter as the instrument to riff on, and it started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. And I couldn’t write a song.”
The singer/songwriter expanded more on his social media qualms, noting “good music is its own promotion.” Read them all on RollingStone.com.
