    This was unexpected: a drummer swap between two major bands. The Foo Fighters former drummer, Josh Freese, is joining Nine Inch Nails, while Nine Inch Nails former drummer, Ilan Rubin, is joining The Foo Fighters. Josh also formerly played drums with Nine Inch Nails during the 00s.…Read More

    I was chatting with a developer friend the other day and he was telling me how impressed he is with SoundPaint’s CS-80 library, as it represents a developer more extensively sampling one of these instruments than any other developer has ever done. To be very candid, while I’m friends with the 8Dio / Soundpaint folks, I was tied up with other…Read More

    News flash! We’re increasingly seeing developers registering for LinkedMusicians. Clearly, the word is starting to spread. If you’re a developer, or an employee or contractor of a developer or retailer that sells music-related products or services, please be sure to read our Community Rules (linked near the bottom of the navigation bar) before…Read More

    LinkedMusician Community Rules And Site Policies - LinkedMusicians
    The son of a music teacher and musician, I started piano lessons at 3, became a drummer in our family band the next year playing around the Chicago area. I later took organ and drum lessons from various teachers, played percussion in school bands from elementary school to HS and started playing as a drummer semi-professional at 18, continuing for around 12 years until sustatining an injury causing lifelong tendinitis. Biggest achievements: joining a critics darling rock band and getting fans including Jimmy Chamberlan and Louise Post (Veruca Salt) who attempted to persuade me to join Veruca Salt for their first major US tour. I declined. Oops. Today I'm just a dad / hobbyist musician attempting to record music 20+ years after stopping.

      What language is that above the Chinese?

        The message at the bottom is in several languages. From what I can tell it’s Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and I’m not sure of the others. You might appreciate that it was created by a bunch of residential neighbors in Chicago after a hate crime in the neighborhood and the people banded together to show support for the diverse neighborhood,…Read More

          I do appreciate the sentiment. I was mostly curious because there are two languages which look like Arabic.

    SPINAL TAP 2 TRAILER

    A friend of mine, a songwriter and musician out in LA, saw a special showing of SPINAL TAP 2 a few weeks ago and said it was hilarious. I can’t wait until this comes out! My most anticipated movie of the year!

    Re: Help Name the LinkedMusicians Bear

    How about:
    “Naked Ladies”

    It would also be tribute to an often underappreciated band.
    Hey! Have you seen the Bear ‘insert name’ on LinkedMusicians?

    Not really serious but, it at least, made me smile.

      Just an FYI, to comment on a post, just click on comment, even when there are already comments. It basically works the same as Facebook.

      I know that reference!!! I meant to post that video. I am such a fan of Rick Beato’s channel that my kids know his name and tease me about watching his videos!

      Okay, this is kind of an ad — so feel free to call me out on it — but the LM Knowledge Hub feeds include Billboard magazine and this very article. In fact, if anyone has any publications they love that they’d like to see added, just let me know. They’re technically RSS feeds from the publications. Most include a short summary, and if you’re…Read More

    Do we have any baseball fans here?
    I’ll share that I am most prolific at posting deals when the Chicago Cubs are playing (my favorite baseball team). In fact, there may be a correlation between my most enthusiastic posts and when the Cubs are winning and my shortest posts when the Cubs are losing. This is pretty much my expression when they’re losing:

      The game just started. The second pitch of the game, the Cubs batter got a home run! Look forward to some happy deal posts in the next hours! ๐Ÿ™‚
