MIC Talks Music

Hello, I’m Tommy , not Mitchell. I’m the vice president and other bearded member of MIC. I’d like to give a brief introduction to an album by a band I found recently . If you’re already familiar with grunge , you’ll love 3rd Secret. If you’re not, they’re definitely worth a listen and would be a good introduction to the genre, because the sound of the music is n’t as heavy as the genre can be known for, but it still has the melanchol ic feel to it that sets it apart from most popular songs of today . I found the band while watching Rick Beato on YouTube, a creator that has a great channel that discusses all things music from a rock producer’s point of view : guitar lesson videos, music theory classes, a series called “What Makes This Song Great , ” which I highly recommend watching , as well as videos essays that can introduce musicians , where 3rd Secret ’s self-titled album was featured. 3rd S ecret is a grunge superband comprised o f guitarists Kim Thayil from Soundgarden ...

Hello! I hope you've all enjoyed your summer. It's Mitchell here with a quick update on where the blog has been after all this time. There's an assortment of reasons for the hiatus, so I'll do my best to give a solid update to keep you all up to speed. Recap We've had one heck of a summer with the blog so far. Artists such as Animal Collective, Soul Glo, Deadharrie, and more have given this small, college-club blog a read. We partnered with two labels to write a charity special to raise money for cancer research. We hit 100 viewers on about half of our posts. There are many things to be proud of over this summer. Unfortunately, the writing came to a bit of a halt in the past few weeks.  Where We've Been In this segment, I'll let you know all the factors that went into the hiatus. Firstly, my laptop need repairs. Having to write from my phone would have been near-impossible with formatting issues, photo insertion, all that boring writer stuff. However, over t...

Hello and welcome to this charity special  of MIC Talks Music. A couple weeks ago, I was approached by a former Music Industry Club member who is now the founder of Beautiful Rat Records, Jacob W. Fowler. He was messaging me to tell me about a charity collaboration he was doing with fellow label, Ska Punk International. This collaboration consists of two compilation albums called Songs For Moms: Volume 2 and Songs for Dads. Jacob has kindly provided some information for the two labels as well as the inspiration of these charitable compilations. Please give his words a read and feel free to keep reading at the bottom for my thoughts on the projects! Beautiful Rat Records Beautiful Rat Records is a radical label with the goal to help artists and the communities they come from thrive. The label was founded and is currently solely ran by former MIC member, Jacob W. Fowler, who was tired of not being able to find a job with his audio and music industry degree, so he decided to create on...
