Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Sandy

There are already talks about closing the casinos in Atlantic City later next week. NJ is going to feel the brunt of this storm. It's too soon to tell how much of an effect Sandy will do the NYC metro area - this will be very interesting. A nor'easter and a major hurricane combined. Don't think we've seen a storm make landfall here..let alone this late in the season!

"Take a walk" by Passion Pit is playing outside right now. There's a huge event going on outside of my dorm and that song..I recognized it. Good vocals with that one.

Hey everyone!

I submitted a track this month. First time in awhile. If you hear something that sounds like me, it might be! Working on new stuff. That to all of you guys keeping up on this. I hope they continue to accept instrumentals and independent music. :-)

-Matt

Good to hear. I believe the vast majority in this community agree with the instrumental preference. Also wanted to say that the "Yet Unknown Weeping Guitar Mix" is one of my favorites.

Maybe I'm missing the songs when they play, but I'm not hearing as many tacky songs that have a word about the weather in it this month. I just thought that was a little too cute.

Well thanks for the support! Yet Unknown (Weeping Guitar Mix) is one of my favorite track remixes as well. Eddie and I had a ton of fun writing that one. I do like to go with themes and songs and since I'm a weather buff/background I tend to write with that in mind but I like to be more cryptic 

I love Yet Unknown myself. One of my favorites from the August/September 2010 playlist. Let us know if TWC decides to play your music. AFAIK, they're still playing instrumentals and independent artists so maybe you'll make it considering your music was used before. BTW, what is this song and is it possible if we can hear it? Like a temporary stream?

Wow, that sucks for those affected. I, too, am still seeing Heather as of this afternoon so she'll probably be working until the end of the month. Didn't Jeff also report live in Birmingham when the tornado was very close but just missed the downtown core back in last April? That report was quite noteworthy, it was all over YT and several news stations. I wish the best of luck to those 3

Their salaries could also be a playing factor in this decision as well... You have to keep this in mind.

Yeah. NBC may be responsible but it wouldn't make sense to point all fingers towards them. They've earned pretty high salaries (I don't think I should guess the amount) which to NBC wouldn't be feasible if they didn't have the money. They were also in the middle of restructuring.

I uploaded whatever instrumentals I heard as well. Only 7 instrumental songs in this playlist as of right now (including My Name is Lincoln as a carryover)

I'm home for the weekend, and thus this is the first time I've watched TWC since leaving for college at the beginning of last month. I recorded the overnight playlist and heard Chasing the Wind by Matthew Shuman, My Name is Lincoln by Steve Jablonsky, Armory by Daft Punk, an instrumental piano song (sounds like Curtis Macdonald) and an instrumental guitar song. The other 4 songs I heard were vocal. Not sure if there is a 10th song.

This song is probably my favorite I've heard so far. It sounds like a remix of a Paul Hardcastle song.

You heard what? The song in the link I posted?

Hey guys! How's everyone been lately? 

It's been nearly a month since I've been on the forums. Ya know...college workload is quite challenging to deal with. I had 3 exams last week and I have 2 more coming up. Bio and Chem at the same time is a very though workload...if any of you guys are taking a science class in college, I'd recommend taking one science class at a time. Taking two different ones can be overwhelming. But now I have some breathing room since I dropped my Calc class yesterday. I'll try to come online more often it's just that I have so many things to do and so little time to accomplish. 

With Halloween less than two weeks away, I'm curious how much any of you got involved in this holiday during your childhoods.  Also, what was your favorite candy or treat to eat?

My chem exam is on Halloween night.    I don't really eat that much candy anymore but if there was to choose..I'd probably stick with Jolly Ranchers. I've always loved Jolly Ranchers, especially the grape and cherry flavored types.  I also like the cookies n' creme Hershey bars and Kisses. Nerds are also another candy I like to eat, they are tangy and sweet at the same time.

I'm embarrassed to say I'm Trammell illiterate Could someone tell me the name of this song? Found this in my old backups: Trammell Error May 2009

It's called "Easy Times"
