Today Rock Town Hall has gone where no rock music discussion blog has gone before. Townspeople General Slocum<\/strong> and BigSteve<\/strong> have received their mixes and are hunkering down<\/strong> and living<\/em> with what fate’s dealt them. For 3 days, these music buffs will hear no other music<\/em> than what’s been provided on their mix!<\/p>\n

Other Townspeople have been receiving their mixes and will begin filing their reports. As these brave souls share their listening experiences, you will be encouraged to help them through the use of insider tips on appreciating the mix, empathy, and whatnot. You may be their lifeline<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Today, in the Comments section, the good General shared his disdain for Smokey Robinson’s “Being With You”<\/strong><\/a>. I’m curious to know what he thinks of one of my favorite tunes from this mix, The Radiants’ “Hold On”<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of what’s spinning at BigSteve’s pad, click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, in the Comments section, he discussed his love for the antiquated sound of the Fender Rhodes as well as his disdain for the sound of Stanley Clarke’s voice. You can hear examples of both in the track “Journey to Love”<\/strong><\/a>. You can also hear Deodato’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)”<\/strong><\/a>, which he described as featuring a guitar player he could have sworn was John McLaughlin.<\/p>\n
