Bon Jovi not dead opening a restaurant will be there for me

author Posted by: admin on date Jan 3rd, 2012 | filed Filed under: Music

Completing my three post a day challenge with a word or two about Bon Jovi. Could be quite for me for music what Mac Donalds is to food. I’m snob enough to dislike, even with a touch of contempt, but I can’t avoid to go for it anyway.

What is happening is that someone wrote somewhere that Bon Jovi was dead. It was wrong, but the rumor did its job. Everyone is talking about Bon Jovi. Even if he was dead musically. That’s maybe a sign of the trolls to give a push to his career.

Despite his lack of inspiration, the Bon is still having a brain in working order. Just opened a restaurant somewhat special because this is one where you don’t need to pay. Cool idea, and very opportunistic these days. Sure I’ll dare to buy a plane ticket to his place. I’ll then be sure not to go to bed starving.

I may also ask the man if he could pay my taxes. I start to be short in cash. Happy to learn he will be there for me ;)



How many facebook fans does (really) Rihanna have?

author Posted by: admin on date Jan 3rd, 2012 | filed Filed under: Music

There should be absolutely more fans of Rihanna on Facebook than the 4 millions her page shows. How many did not click the like button yet, how many will there be in one year? Kind of existential question. Personnally I can’t live with the idea that there are still a lot of people not even know who the Diva is.

Well, to be true, I admit I did click the like button, but I’m not really a fan. Simply an admirer. How can one have 4.000.000 clicks on her ‘like’ button while for me it takes ages and a lot of persuasion to have even my mother visit my Facebook page?

This is a question that will keep me awake for weeks. Maybe months. I may even die without the answer. Terrifying.

How to convert youtube videos to mp3

author Posted by: admin on date Jan 3rd, 2012 | filed Filed under: Music

This is something I use for long. Using Youtube music to enrich my music library is a common task for me. Sure the quality is not at the ‘rendez-vous’, bur nevermind. My old ears are quite broken, I still enjoy music for music, not the sound.

Now for the method.

For a quite long time, I was painfully using a Youtube downloader website to get the FLV file, then using a converter to extract the audio from the video. These days are gone. I discovered a Firefox plugin whic helps to do this in seconds. I don’t remember it’s name. just do a search for ‘best video downloader firefox plugin’, and you are at it.

Is is now a snap to add a nive youtube song to my iTunes library. Just wondering why I did not do it already.

Enfin on trouve quelques vidéos de Titi Winterstein.
Artiste tzigane génial quoique pratiquement méconnu. J’en ai une vieille cassette qui m’a été donnée il y a longtemps, suite à une jam dans une caravanne. J’ai mis longtemps à trouver ses CDs, trop souvent épuisés.

Nettoyage de la touche

author Posted by: fredometro on date Oct 31st, 2009 | filed Filed under: Music

Une touche bien encrassée, je ne vais pas tout de suite y appliquer un produit. D’abord un chiffon légèrement humide et je nettoye bien. Faut prendre son temps, que la crasse parte bien. Le seul bon produit pour l’instant, c’est l’huile de coude.

Ensuite deuxième étape le nettoyage avec un bon produit. J’utilise un mélange de savon, d’alcool et d’eau. L’insecticide bio en spray, c’est l’idéal. Pas cher, c’est exactement ce qu’il faut et vous achèterez souvent des produits Gibson ou autre assez chers qui ne sont rien d’autre que ce mélange…
Juste un truc. Laisser faire le temps. Appliquez le produit et attendez 10-15 minutes pour que le produit agisse et que le restant de crasse se ramolisse. C’est très facile ensuite de passer le chiffon.

Troisième étape: on a bien nettoyé, tout est propre, il faut nourrir le bois. Si c’est une touche vernie, on ne fait rien. Sinon, palissandre ou ébène, ou érable non-verni, ils vont aimer le gras, qui va repousser l’humidité, la transpiration. Huile de lin, de citron, thérébentine, il y a le choix. Je vais dans une armurerie, on y trouve de l’huile de lin en spray. Ca ne sent pas très bon mais ça nourrit bien et ça protège.
