RECONSIDERATE Web site! - July 21, 2007 http://www.geocities.com/ajarlotta/welcome.html The Niche Work site is at the above link. This artist has a tight techno/jazz/ rock/funk thing going on. The sound is fresh and for me a great break from my loud guitars when I want to stop and smell the roses. It's nice to hear artists who put more emphasis on the music than on the money. Reconsiderate accomplishes that very well and I applaude him loudly for it! ,,,SOME POETRY,,, - July 19, 2007 E=Mc? By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7-18-2007-6:20am-8:45am The clock on the wall, will give you the time. The clock in motion, will fall behind. If you’re standing still, use the clock on the wall. The clock in motion, won’t be right at all. If you’re in motion, use the clock in your hand. The clock on the wall, will run out of sand. Once you’re in motion, and want to gain speed, More and more power, is what you will need. The faster you go, the slower you live. The clock on the wall, advances add-lib. The circle complete, it’s time to slow down. Come in for a landing, get back on the ground. New cities have sprouted, there’s no one you know. You are the ancestor, from long long ago. You’ve traveled thru time, no way to go back. So re-set your watch, and face all the facts. You’ve come to the future, what have you to give? A few words of wisdom, that won’t span the bridge. They learned from your wars, crime and disease. Famine and anger, they’ve weeded out these. The world that you come from, their history spurned. How can you teach them, what you never learned? Get back in your ship, and get up to speed. There’s nothing you have, that these people need. Somewhere in the future, mankind will fall down. Then you might help them, get back off the ground.

Reality Bites,,, - July 11, 2007 It is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to a great friend and mentor. PETER JACOBUSSE, 70, PASSED AWAY THIS PAST SUNDAY. He taught me a lot about working in the oil field and a lot about life. He was a wonderful friend who was always full of good guidance and good advice. He's the oldest person I know of who actually asked me for cds. (for his grandson). He'll be drawing a huge crowd this weekend as those who knew him well pay last respects. May God Bless And Keep His Family Well In The days To Come.

I appreciate the attention and hope to meet you all on a tour some day soon! Jesse DeLaO of A.O.G.MEDIA, is back in the saddle after a rotator-cup repair for his right shoulder. He's come out with guns ablazin' and is back to doing an amazing job of promoting all the awesome acts affilliated with A.O.G.MEDIA! Check out his myspace pages and you'll easily see what I mean. Les Lewellyn is still spinning the greatest podcasts this side of everywhere! Many genres and stellar talents equal #1 PODCASTS!!!!! I just finished my first attempt at mastering some one elses studio work. I'll let you know who if my touch is good enough for the artist to release his album after what I've done to it. I'll hint to you that it's a grteat piece of techno-jazz with some very unique and original sounds and arrangments! My lyrical floodgates have burst and I'm melting down ink pens trying to keep up with whats flowing out of my mind! With 8 tunes done and more on the way, the next cd I release will be harder, darker, louder, and more proud than anything before. As before, you'll notice that I use no profanity. If you think it's because I'm that clean cut of a guy, I'm sorry. My mouth can be far more foul than the prince of darkness himself. I just need a good enough reason to put such language permanently onto disc. If I ever give a speech on terrorist, taxes, rapist, and murderers, I'll have to pass out ear-plugs before I begin. Words not found in the dictionary are best used for face to face communication. Hell and damn are about the harshest words I'll sing, so far. If you really want my opinion on anything at all, just drop me a line at:joseexist@legasyssongs.com. I'll reply as candidly as you like. LOUD-N-PROUD!!!!

Here's a review from a site in the Netherlands on A.O.G.MEDIAs COMPILATION #7. Can anyone translate it for us??? A.O.G. Media Presents: Compilation Volume 7 Geschreven door Thanatosti — Saturday, 19 May 2007 Als er een prijs zou bestaan voor het meest gedurfde verzamelalbum ooit dan zou die waarschijnlijk gaan naar A.O.G. Media Presents: Compilation Volume 7. Ik zeg waarschijnlijk want de voorgaande zes delen heb ik nog niet mogen beluisteren. Maar op welke compilatie vind je death metal naast new age, blues gebroederlijk naast grunge en rock-n-roll gecombineerd met gospel rock? Het moge duidelijk zijn dat niet alle artiesten tot de genres behoren waarover NederMetaal een oordeel kan en wil vellen dus laten we ons maar beperken tot de metal. Als eerste horen we een oude bekende van NederMetaal en meteen ook de enige Nederlandse inzending op deze cd: het Rotterdamse Fentanyl. Good old speed metal met een ‘aparte’ zanger maar het rockt wèl. Daarna mag het Saudi Arabische Wasted Land het proberen met death metal en doet dat niet onverdienstelijk Als derde metal band staat er dan Tribu op het programma, wat niet meer is dan een Sepultura goes tribal kloon is, en dan ook nog eens een slechte. Enige verlichting is er dan in de vorm van de meer dan redelijke melodieuze metalcore van het Italiaanse Sown. Het Columbiaanse Obed speelt eens een keer niet botkanker veroorzakende brute death metal zoals vrijwel al hun landgenoten maar gaat ook lichtelijk op de metalcore toer. De progressive rock/metal van Jose’ Diaz heeft een te slechte productie om echt over te oordelen maar de solo’s zijn gaaf. Foxido komt uit Egypte en speelt best wel gave metal met doom elementen; het Amerikaanse Lunatics On Parole tenslotte klinkt alsof ze Gorefest’s Jan-Chris de Koeijer een dag ontvoerd hebben om een mid-tempo hardcore nummer in te zingen, het resultaat is eigenlijk wel grappig. Jesse De La O, de man achter A.O.G media is altijd op zoek naar bands voor een volgende compilatie, check zijn MySpace voor details maar pas op: “NO VULGAR, PROFANE or SATANIC materials will be accepted.” Websites: A.O.G @ MySpace I've been invited to a session on INDABAMISIC.COM. It's a bit new to me but I'll do my best to make the most of it. MONSTERGIG.COM has opened it's store. Check it out! I'm still working on RECONSIDERATEs' 12 tracks. I'm not really into techno jazz but this dude write some infectious stuff! My own recording is still coming along and I still expect to release later this year.(HEAVY tunes this time!!!) SJ(SLAP JESSE), is on the bill for next weekend. If I have the time I will check them out at the Victoria Community Center. I've still yet to hear "Z" sing!!! LOUD-N-PROUD!!! Jose'
