            Henry David Thoreau once said, “Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still.” Thoreau may not have known it at the time, but he was describing the blues. To play the blues is to draw from an inner fire that burns deep within the soul. It’s both passionate and effortless. For if the blues is to be played right, there must be honesty to it. It’s not something you can teach; it has to be felt, and if you’re one of the few who is naturally blessed with the gift of taking every emotion you’ve ever felt and conveying it to an audience through your music- well, you are in that rare class of musicians we call virtuosos.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.” Nowhere can this sentiment be felt more than in the world of music. When a band plays it’s easy to enrapture an audience for forty-five minutes. There’s the excitement of the crowd, the roar of the amplifiers and that wonderful feeling of getting lost and being transported away from the stresses of life. But what happens when the music is over? Do we “turn out the lights” as Jim Morrison famously stated? It really depends on the band. (Continue)

Photographer: Unknown

            Aldous Huxley once said, “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” Huxley’s quote perfectly sums up the shell-shocked state of the music community with today’s tragic news of Jeff Hanneman’s untimely passing. Hanneman was one of the architects of thrash metal and a force to be reckoned with as a guitar player.(Continue)

PHILM IGNITES THE GASLAMP IN LONG BEACH
Philm

            In our consumer-based culture we’ve been taught that more is good; however this is often far from true. On Thursday, March 28, PHILM set out to prove that sometimes it’s better to scale things down. With a combined thirty-plus years in the music business, PHILM has become a creative home base for drummer extraordinaire Dave Lombardo (Slayer), renowned bassist Pancho Tomaselli (WAR) and the ever impressive guitarist/vocalist Gerry Nestler (Civil Defiance).
