"Normandy" and "Dead Don't Shuffle"

I'm more of a gear-head than anything else when it comes to music. I don't much care about production value as much as equipment. Care to shed any light on what gear you're using? Any specifics would be phenomenal...

I love that you've gotten a column, I love reading about making music, and I'm quite fond of you as well, Gavin. Keep it up! And do add some more technical jargon, it's good to keep it in moderation but maybe just a paragraph for us aspiring artists?

I really enjoy some of your songs,and I find some of your songs to be bland/boring.

I know that doesn't sound like a compliment, but honestly good songs matter. These are songs that I will have with me for the rest of my life. A bad song fades away in a few minutes and costs the listener nothing. A good song is eternal.

Considering he makes one almost every week. I'm surprised that we hear so many great songs.

I can understand why some american singers sound like they come from the isles and I can understand why some of the singers who come from the isles sound american. But why the hell does Sting sound hispanic when he sings? That has always confused me.

One question my wife has been asking: Will we ever be able to get "I Suck at Call of Duty" for RockBand? We suck at rockband and CoD and we think something like that would be real meta.

Because Sting started off playing Reggae influenced music - that's him trying to do a Jamaican accent.

And yeah, it'll prob go to rock band at some point

Oh. in that case I imagine if he had actually been trained by a Brazilian instead, he would probably sound Chinese.
