Manchester United messed up by Messi and company..

I'd been saving up the month of May to post only one great "victory post" ...after the Champions League final.. but not so...sadly, the Red Devils were beaten fair and square by Barcelona FC who were definitely the better team of the night. Anyways ManUtd. won the EPL, Carling Cup, FIFA Club World Cup.....

One new fact about Barcelona FC i learnt...which i like...notice the UNICEF logo in their team shirt?....i always wondered how come UNICEF was a sponsor...it's the other way round...unlike other teams which usually sport a sponsor logo in front of their jersey...Barcelona FC donate a part of their earnings to UNICEF....hence the logo. However this is not to say that other football clubs don't do any "charity"...for example ManUtd. has it's Foundation programme...where it carries out this kind of work and activity..

Got some designs in my head for getting it printed out on Tees... though i still havent figured out a name for the apparel line..all the good names i come with starting with A seem to be taken already... :( .... Click HERE to see some of the stuff that i plan to put out...

And now...music...SCREAM ...Chris Cornell's latest album produced by Timbaland...i actually like some of the songs that he's worked out with Timbaland but now i guess the label wasn't that happy...well at least after the album was released and it didn't live upto expectations. In comes a man named Howard Benson...another producer...and he's produced or should we say re-produced the song Long Gone...and Cornell's site actually has it streaming with the words "rock version" after the song title...so in the end rock is what rules...

Now, this Howard Benson is also the man named to produce Creed's upcoming "re-union" album tentatively titled Full Circle... or maybe they should just call it "Let's make some money again" ..lol. I'm sure it's gonna be a good album...Howard Benson's producing credits is a long rich list...which includes Seether's Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces which i got hold of recently only..and i really like...

Okay to see or rather hear the difference ... what a producer can do to a band's/artist's sound check out the clips below...Chris Cornell's long gone...

Rock Version: [Howard Benson]



Timbaland's version....


So we now know the importance of a producer in the music industry... anyone in a band out there who happens to be reading this or if you've got friends planning to put out their music...
......... i happen to know someone who can get your music to another level....does not have his own personal site online now..but to listen to some of his personal music and work just click HERE... leave the first three tracks..some horrible vocals are in them...just listen to the last two instrumentals...

Now..if you don't have any musical skills or talent...maybe the producer can still help you to put out a good record..but don't dream of doing live shows....and tours..wait wait....hmmmm i guess the lip sync option is there...
