Flying Home all I can remember from this scatting is "horSES horSES" haha yeah, i'm not a huge fan of ella scatting, but I do enjoy some scatting. I always enjoyed most of Cab's scatting, and there are some fun examples of scatting in lots of late 20s/30s washboard and jug bands. I consid...

An industry has died and a way of marketing that many people devoted their lives to is gone. Their was pride in being a music retailer with a business that people dr...

blues my naughty and joshua fit the battle this surprises me. not because they are considered overplayed (i can see that, though they are fun songs to dance to), but because they show up as overplayed "balboa songs". I don't care to get into all the minutia of what a "balboa song&quo...

Is it possible to do only one of these jobs? yes, of course. That's the typical example. When you ask "do you need to combine it with another", what are you talking about? need to combine them for what? riches, celebrity, and fame? global domination? All three of the elements you highlight...

I think the issue you raised earlier about not being able to add a song to the playlist at the last second was my next biggest problem with Cog.

Haydn is correct, Cog has been discussed on here a few times with mild reviews. I stopped using it as well because of a few of the reasons listed here already. I don't know if they've fixed this yet or not, but if you pull your headphones out of the laptop jack while playing music the Master output ...

dang! i psyched myself out of Woodside because it was familiar but different enough to possibly be something else.
