Hey,did you know we accept guest posts at Your New Favorite Band? It’s true. It’s so that we can go on saying stuff using the royal “we.”
Today we have a guest post from Robert at ProMusicTutor. He knows a thing or two about guitars, and that’s why he volunteered to write this post.
Guitarists are held in high esteem all around the world. While the frontmen of a band—if they aren’t a guitarist themselves—will tend to pick up a lot of the media headlines, music lovers tend to focus on the ‘axe man’ and how they tell inspirational stories with their command of the instrument.
Debate has always, and always will, raged throughout the music community about whom the best guitarists are. Names like Jimi Hendrix, Slash, and Eric Clapton are regularly feted as being titans of innovation and inspiration when it comes to playing guitar. What of the guitarists who perhaps don’t get the acclaim they deserve? We felt it was time to turn a focus on some of the world’s most underrated guitar players.
If Sambora was in any other band apart from Bon Jovi, you get the feeling that he’d be regularly seeing his name in the conversation for top guitar players. Bon Jovi might have a reputation for outstaying their welcome and being middle of the road today, but there is no doubt Sambora has been responsible for some epic riffs over the years.
Richie Sambora -
During the 1990s Britpop explosion, The Verve were perhaps stylistically the best band around, but perhaps never got the acclaim they should have done owing to the success of various other musicians around that time. McCabe made a number of tracks from The Verve what they are, from haunting masterpieces to simple, to the point classics that are still jukebox favourites today.
Nick McCabe -
You probably wouldn’t call the Manic Street Preachers a Britpop band, but the level of success they enjoyed throughout the 90s was undoubtedly influenced because of the music trends at the time. Part of the problem for the Manics is that everyone thought they’d break America when they weren’t big at home, and that probably contributed to Bradfield’s position on this list, too.
James Dean Bradfield -
It might sound odd to call Radiohead’s guitarist underrated, but it seems that their success is regularly put down to Thom Yorke, Thom Yorke, and some chap called Thom Yorke, rather than the band as a whole. Few people know that Greenwood tried to ruin the recording of Creep—apparently, he hated the song—by playing what would become the iconic jarring note before the chorus. Ironically, that moment makes the song what it is.
Jonny Greenwood -
To most people, The Beatles were all about John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Without Harrison and Ringo Starr, however, they are just two blokes from Liverpool who can’t decide whose name to put first on a song writing credit. Harrison’s guitar skills remain grossly underrated to this day.
George Harrison -
Wait a minute, are we really suggesting that one of the most legendary figures in music is somehow underappreciated? Prince’s problem when it comes to recognising his guitar skills is one that most of us would love to have; he’s so good at everything else that something has to fly under the radar.
Prince -
Any Rolling Stones fan will tell you—even the band themselves will tell you—that Mick Taylor is one of the greatest musicians of all time. However, with common knowledge being that Keith Richards is the heartbeat of The Stones, Taylor is often overlooked by the masses. Nearly 40 years after leaving the band, his legacy to them still lives on. Taylor will be playing with the band at their 2013 tour dates, so if you don’t have your ticket yet, get one!
Mick Taylor -
Knopfler takes his place on this list for his work as a solo artist, as when spoken of in terms of his successes with Dire Straits he is often in the top 10 of ‘best of’ lists. He is here because his solo work tends to be a little further from the mainstream and aimed at a niche audience, and as such goes widely underappreciated.
Mark Knopfler-
The irony of guitarists in legendary bands being underappreciated continues with Iron Maiden’s Murray, who was responsible for the riffs that make many of their famous hits the monsters they still are today.
Dave Murray-
Lifeson is definitely a victim of history, but if ever there was a guitarist deserving of greater recognition, it is the man from Rush who barely made it into Rolling Stone magazine’s last Top 100 list. Were they being serious?
Alex Lifeson-
What do you think? Is this a fair reflection of the most underappreciated guitarists in the world, or are there others more deserving of such an accolade?

From the June 2012 EP 1991
This properly belongs on my hip-hop list, and you’ll find it there, but it deserves the top spot on my Best Dance Songs list. I tried to avoid duplication, but it truly deserves a high-ranking spot on both lists. I only DJed a few times in 2012, but every time I did, this was the song that people came up to me and asked who the artist was. The beat is positively primal and her fast simple rhyme scheme will have you trying to rap along. You’ll find Azealia is too fast for your tongue, so you may as well give in and let the rhythm move you.
This song will make you want to to kick it like a wayward cat in a breakdancing circle.

Released June 12, 2012 on the single Bromance #3
Those who turn their noses up at dance music often complain about the repetition. “Nobody Rules These Streets” is a perfect example of how repetition in dance music succeeds. Louisahhh!!! only has one sentence in this song, and she sings it many times, but I don’t think a single time is identical to any other time. With every measure, Brodinski brings takes the song somewhere new. This is the hottest drop of the year, for dark sexy moments where the ladies bend their legs and dip as low and slow as they can. Even though the song only has one line, “Nobody Rules These Streets” still tells a story: Louisahhh!!! is a big fish in a big, dirty, nasty pond.

You may have noticed that I don’t put a lot of dubstep on YNFB. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I like it in small, exceptional doses. I prefer it to change the mood, not to set the mood for the whole night. Whether you’re hesitant to get on board with dubstep or a longtime fan, check out Sound Remedy’s remix, as it is truly exceptional. He somehow manages to take this light and pretty pop song and make it both dubstep and glitchy 8-bit. Positively a gorgeous remix that’s bringing something new and unique to the dubstep genre.

From the October 2012 EP Global Concepts
Robert DeLong is the electronic musician I am most excited about for 2013. He makes electro with percussion that gives a nod to the Jamaican sound popularized by artists like Diplo and MIA. Maybe it’s because of the unexpected two-step pulse, or maybe it’s because he uses, like, REAL drums. “Global Concepts” is filled out with effects that sound like a rain stick.
As a bonus, DeLong’s lyrics aren’t the same crap you usually get with dance music. Sure, the refrain “Did I make you fucking dance” is as good an anthem as any, but the rest of the song is filled out with lines like “After I die, I’ll re-awake / redefine what was at stake / from the hindsight of a god.” And who uses words like “entropy” in a dance song? It’s nice touches like this that make Robert Delong one of my favorite discoveries of 2012.

I’m glad to hear Diplo has moved away from the daggering and back to the Reggae-esque jams that made him famous. “Get Free” is a fun pop song to begin with, and Columbian Jungle keeps Amber Coffman’s lyrics in tact. (Did I mention that’s Amber of the Dirty Projectors? Are you excited yet?) In fact the lead-in is pretty much the untainted original. But then a dude’s aptly says “What?” and shit gets wacky. And by wacky I mean sick, tongue-out-your mouth waggedy-wack. Then it’s back to Amber’s angelic vocals, so when the wackety smacks you again it makes your jaw drop.

Whooooo-boy this remix is epic. The build up! The break down! This is one to make you wet your pants, right here. The song is already getting interesting when the vocals come in at the thirty second mark but it unleashes the sick and nasty at 1:42. The climax is a solid thirty second build up with climbing sirens. One of the bangers of the year.

Panic City is a San Francisco DJ starting to gain worldwide acclaim. His 2011 remix of Kaskade’s “Move For Me” topped Hypem’s Most Popular list this year, as did this one. This is a clean mix, with no glitch or stabs to put it into the evil sick territory. But as the popularity of acts like David Guetta has shown, sometimes a nice clean house mix is just what the doctor ordered. It’s hard to imagine a crowd of dance-hungry fools not going crazy for the bass drop at 3:25.

From the February 2012 EP Ten$ion
I don’t know why Die Antwoord’s album didn’t get better reviews. It’s not like there are a lot of sexy South African rap-rave acts that sound like them…it’s not like rap-rave is even a genre that has much competition. Nor are there many rappers out there with a voice like Yo-landi Vi$$er, and that’s before you catch lyrics like “I got more bling than Mister T.” If you like this one, you have to get “Baby’s On Fire” because it’s just as hot.

So begins the Top Ten Dance Songs of 2012 list. With my best-of lists, I take care to make sure these aren’t just songs I discovered in 2012, but songs that actually came out in 2012. With remixes, which are usually unreleased, I double check this by seeing which music blog posted it first. Since I’ve taken the time to look it up, I give a credit to that blog.
The list kicks off with this Nero remix, which was offered exclusively on The Music Ninja…and now here.
ONLY posted by The Music Ninja, on July 2nd.
This is the second-best dubstep song of 2012. From the first few seconds, when she says “Are you ready?” you know Roksonix is about to throw down an anthem. But it while this Nero remix has all the attitude of a house anthem, he takes it dubstep. When the bass goes wubbety wub it reminds me of a fat man’s face motorboating a massive pair of breatsesses. And if that isn’t enough, at 2:37 the song goes double time (which, in a dubstep song is normal time)

I wish Spencer Krug would pick a band and stick with it. He’s all over the place, sometimes in Sunset Rubdown, last seen in Wolf Parade and now he’s the primary voice behind Moonface. Every year I think the gent has produced nothing new, I come to find he’s in some other project. Fortunately he has a distinctive voice and amazing lyrics, so I tend to realize it’s a Spencer Krug song the first time I hear it. This one sticks out for the line “Teary eyes and bloody lips make you look like Stevie Knicks.” I think that makes you look more like Tina Turner, but I guess that wouldn’t rhyme.

Sam Halliday has the knack for creating catchy guitar melodies. Other than a touch of overdrive he plays it clean, so it’s not some effect or magical combo of pedals. Halliday simply has a gift for hooks that make me say, “play it again, Sam!” (Ahem. Sorry).

Abraham Lincoln Filed a Patent for Facebook in 1845:
Nate St. Pierre writes:
Lincoln was requesting a patent for “The Gazette,” a system to “keep People aware of Others in the Town.” He laid out a plan where every town would have its own Gazette, named after the town itself. He listed the Springfield Gazette as his Visual Appendix, an example of the system he was talking about. Lincoln was proposing that each town build a centrally located collection of documents where “every Man may have his own page, where he might discuss his Family, his Work, and his Various Endeavors.”
He went on to propose that “each Man may decide if he shall make his page Available to the entire Town, or only to those with whom he has established Family or Friendship.” Evidently there was to be someone overseeing this collection of documents, and he would somehow know which pages anyone could look at, and which ones only certain people could see (it wasn’t quite clear in the application). Lincoln stated that these documents could be updated “at any time deemed Fit or Necessary,” so that anyone in town could know what was going on in their friends’ lives “without being Present in Body.”
A patent request for Facebook, filed by Abraham Lincoln in 1845.
I’ve long argued Facebook is working towards natural or timeless (for lack of better words) human interaction. That their central idea is relevant in any age should not be surprising.
(Though it is astounding Lincoln was imagining a nearly identical privacy system.)

You can see who’s looking at your site, and what they’re reading, all in real time. You can also check out your error log to figure out why something on your site isn’t working. It’s pretty nifty, and it’s a good foray into accessing your site directly via the command line.
Also, I found a link that explains how to read the contents of the Log file. Some of it seemed obvious to me, like the numbers are the IP of the person checking out your site and the GET: postname.html is the page they’re looking at. But this was something I wouldn’t have intuited:
The sixth piece of information is a status code. This tells you whether the request was successful, or encountered some problem. Most of the time, this is 200, which means that the transfer was successful, and everything went well. Hopefully. I’m not going to give the whole list of the status codes, and what they mean. You need to look in the documentation for that. But, in general, a status code that starts with 2 was successful. Starting with a 3 means that the request was redirected somewhere else for some reason. Starting with a 4 means that the user did something wrong, and starting with a 5 means that the server did something wrong.
Good to know. Both articles are very easy to read and understand even for someone with absolutely no experience using the command line.

““Without computer clubs there would probably be no Apple computers. Our club in the Silicon Valley, the Homebrew Computer Club, was among the first of its kind. It was in early 1975, and a lot of tech-type people would gather and trade integrated circuits back and forth. You could have called it Chips and Dips. We had similar interests and we were there to help other people, but we weren’t official and we weren’t formal. Our leader, Lee Felsenstein, who later designed the Osborne computer, would get up at every meeting and announce the convening of ‘the Homebrew Computer Club which does not exist’ and everyone would applaud happily.
The theme of the club was “Give to help others.” Each session began with a ‘mapping period,’ when people would get up one by one and speak about some item of interest, a rumor, and have a discussion. Somebody would say, ‘I’ve got a new part,’ or somebody else would say he had some new data or ask if anybody had a certain kind of teletype.””
