This month's selection was LTE2, which, as one might suspect, was ripped for its excessiveness and ultimate boredom. So, hey, there's something to get all up-in-arms about, if you're inclined to raise your arms wildly about things. --MATt ..oh, and don't forget the second FREE yahoo fantasy football league, ID 50986, password "jordan."

Message-ID: Finnish Woman Picks Her Way To Air-Guitar Title OULU, Finland (Reuters) - A 27-year-old Finnish woman won the fourth annual air-guitar world championships in the northern Finnish town of Oulu, beating mostly male competitors from around the world. Dressed in an English school uniform in homage to AC/DC guitarist Angus Young, Johanna Ala-Siurua's breathtaking, mimed guitar licks and stage presence to the track ``Let There Be Rock'' proved an unbeatable combination. ``She has that certain something that separates mere winners from champions,'' the jury said in awarding her the title Friday night. Most of the 10 contestants agreed that the discipline is at its finest when mimicking intricate guitar solos with hands alone. ``Using tennis racquets or other paraphernalia is an affront to God and nature,'' said Paul Shapiro, a 30-year-old London-based music journalist, who failed to make the top three. New world champion Ala-Siurua agreed, scorning the use of cardboard guitars by some heavy metal enthusiasts. ``I had a plectrum with me which I think is acceptable,'' she told Reuters. Finland plays host to a number of off-beat summer events, including championships in wife-carrying, swamp football, mosquito killing and kissing.

The Event guys (Matt and Jay) were backing him and did a fantastic job. They are both incredible players and if you havent gotten Electric Skies yet, go get it!!! My ensamble also performed Ice 9, as well as Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name (my suggestion :-). But probably one of the coolest parts the the whole week was when my ensamble teacher pulled me aside and told me "if you're planning on going to college here, give me a call and I'll reccomend you, you have great potential" so I think that was pretty cool :-). I'd highly reccomend any guitar players on the Jam to try going to these sessions, they help your playing imensely (I improved incredibly in my time spent there) and you also get to meet other players and learn from them, as well as experience other styles.

I'll wait...Kez >Buy DC's solo disc too. VERY good stuff. Pussy. There, you didn't have to wait long. Anyway, I bought the D.C. Cooper solo disc at Powermad, and I have to say that I remain unimpressed. Granted, D.C. has a good voice (Halfordish in places), but considering the writers on the disc (including Ostby from Conception, a favorite of mine), the material is just not strong enough. It's not a bad disc by any means, but...it pales even compared to the Vescera/Caffery Metalium disc. Other than the ill-advised cover of "Smoke on the Water" (Gee, what could be more original? A cover of "Paranoid, perhaps?), that cd is pretty damn good straight metal. Of course the spoken narration "true metal" bullshit is hokey, but hey, someone out there is probably waiting to call me a pussy, too (right, Kez??).
