The Music Bowl's First Summer

Greetings from The Music Bowl! I'm The Wonderfish.

Summer is upon us! We here at The Music Bowl want to let you know what's bubbling to the surface in the next couple of months so you don't miss any of the music goodness.

What's coming up?

1) NEW POSTS

  • Next week, we'll introduce our "Half of the Year Hear" where you can check out some of the year's new albums with us.
  • Fin Favorites start this month! The Wonderfish will introduce you to films about music that you won't want to miss, such as 20 Feet From Stardom, It Might Get Loud, Whiplash, and Sound City.  
  • What is summer without summer concerts? We'll be discussing summer tours and festivals - the pros and the cons, yes, but also the sheer joy that is meant to take place.

2) NEW SHOWS

  • Heard has some gigs! 
  • I have some gigs! 
  • Yes, there are even a few Heard and The Wonderfish gigs this summer! You can keep up with our show schedule on our website.

3) NEW SONGS & STUFF

  • We've been busy writing some new tunes and we can't wait to share them with you.
  • Can you ever have enough gear? We don't think so, and we are experimenting with a few new additions to our arsenal. The possibilities for music creation are indeed limitless.
  • There are so many great new songs out by our favorite artists already in 2018. We'll definitely want to discuss the songwriting and creative aspects behind them. Here's one of my favorites, Pink Lemonade by James Bay. He released this single off his new Electric Light album earlier in the year and it is constantly stuck in my head!!! The pop rock guitars shimmer just like Bay's shirt.



That's all the updating for now. Heard and I hope to catch up with you this summer! Shark's in the water! See you next week.

Happy Birthday, Dave!

Ahoy! Time for another edition of Fin Mail, Heard style. One of my favorite musicians of all time is Dave Matthews. On Wednesday of this week, January 9th, he celebrated his 52nd. In honor of him and what his music has meant to me over the years you’ll find my letter of appreciation along with a few links to help get you familiar with his music if you’re not, and will give you an inside look into my favorite tracks of his if you are. Who are you inspired by? Leave us a comment or shoot us an email and let us know! Dear Dave, Happy Birthday! I hope you got to spend your day relaxing with family and not on the road travelling to another show. You music has been one of the largest inspirational forces in my life both as a musician, and as a human. I remember countless hours as a teenager lying on the floor of my room blasting Under the Table and Dreaming , Crash and Before These Crowded Streets. No matter what was happening in my life your music always fit as the perfect b

The Half of the Year Hear

Greetings from The Music Bowl! I'm The Wonderfish. If you are anything like me, you have a hard time keeping up with all the new stuff . You know, new movies, television shows, comics, memes, music, remixes, deluxe editions, and John Mayer music videos (featuring premium content!) all over the place. Then there are the video games, the newsletters, the causes, and books, national anthem performances, photos, hashtags, Pinterest boards, podcasts, product endorsements, Gordon Ramsay ventures, and I could go on and on and on. Face it. There is new content everywhere all the time. We cannot possibly keep up with everything. But, we can stay connected. And we tend to our own little corners of the universe as best we can. In terms of music, we've had a slew of new releases thus far in 2018. It is now the middle of June, which means it's time for the Half of the Year Hear . That's right, we've narrowed the never ending list of new albums down to a select f

Successfully Failing

Ahoy! Today I'd like to talk to you about my recent experience with a challenging video game. It does come back to music though, I promise, so hear me out. I set a pretty high goal for myself this year. I'm going to finish all three Dark Souls video games. For many of you this may seem like an odd goal but I'm a gamer and I've long heard about how difficult this game is and have never played through them. I'd seen a couple reviews lately for the remastered release of the original game and decided it was finally time. I got a copy and began to play. This game is punishingly difficult. For anyone who doesn't know, the ad campaign ran the slogan "Prepare to Die" and within just a few minutes of starting the game I was already dead. Several times over in fact. The game gives you no directions, no hints, no clues, no sense of how the mechanics work except for a very minimal tutorial. All this to say that the game lived up to its reputation as being diff
