Still, I guess if they do it such that the easy difficulty levels has less chords and just strumming, progressing up to all the chords and full fingering where applicable... that might grade it enough to make people enjoy it.

... its just a matter of engineering a more realistic guitar to play the game on.

Ha, brilliant.
I have never... ever played guitar hero, rock band or any of the games, I've never a) had the wish to spend that much money on a game, and b) What you do for the guitars is so far removed from real playing, I saw it as kinda silly.
BUT.
Both the singing and the drums intrigue me a lot because, well, look at this, the drumming is the same (more or less). It's a really FUN way of learning the drums. Spend a while on rock band with the drums before starting any drumming lessons would get you over that initial 'man, I suck, I can't be bothered doing any more' part of learning an instrument, and straight into the 'man, look how good I am now'.
If only they could make the guitars the same... if only.

I watched this documentary a few years back.
Intense to say the least.
I'm upvoting, but I'm not watching this part again.
do you have a (cheap) video editing software recommendation for a pc?
I use Vegas Pro 8 on the PC, it runs around 600 bucks, they make a home studio version of the software called Vegas Movie Studio 9 which I think is under 100.

Thanks for the promote. I just sent an e-mail of Andrew Bird youtube performances I like to a friend; thought I'd share with you in case you hadn't caught some:
"
Here's a song that's much better live than on the record, performed at the Fillmore with a fun audience... fun lyrics, and lyrical presentation:

Here he is again on the violin, and also playing guitar and glockenspiel, with a band backing him up:

Here's a slower song from a CD coming out Jan. 20th called Noble Beast (that album title is a David Attenborough reference):

Here's a strange one of him walking around Paris singing and playing for a popular French music blog:

Here's a song I really like,... he supposedly got the lyrics from a letter he found on the ground (he said the letter started 'Dear Dirty,' and then went on to describe in a simple caveman dialect what it was like being a caveman):

Finally, here he is first playing a song he wrote for a children's show he appeared on, then rolling into an intense performance of a pretty wild song:

i like these visualizations better when they put in the 'noise' of other chemicals and proteins and enzymes all banging against each other... this is so clean that it makes things look very miraculous and directed when they're usually not.
Been getting into some new prog rock again.

woah!

maybe we should all form some kind of coalition. a coalition of cool sifters.
In reply to this comment by guessandcheck:
eklek is another that comes to mind. great sifters all around.
In reply to this comment by bamdrew:
you'll probably like a lot of what Farhad sifts, too (in case you havn't dug around in his archives yet)... I messenged him about that Grizzly Bear video right when I promoted it and he replied how he was actually listening to them a bunch these past couple of days as well.

Has some good lines at 10min.
What about epigenetics? Its 2008, not 1998; its weird to talk about the importance of genetics and barely mention the next level of complication.

I came to Fleet Foxes via a deep love for Dr. Dog. Saw them both this summer, and both were inspiring-ly awesome live bands.
