Progress, She is forever the temptress

Myself and the web development team have been engaging in improvements to the ilovemusiclive.com website. Like a kid in a candy shop we were running around with oooohh lets do this and Yeyyyyyy lets get that and ahhhh wouldn't it be be cool if this was on there. Needless to say a sensible head appeared (in the shape of a female) steering our misguided enthusiasm into a steady and logical direction. Over the next week we will be unveiling various new functions to the ilovemusiclive.com website, mostly practical with a little oooohhh thats cool element. With that said we will be starting further development as soon as these new functions and features have been unveiled......Progress, she is an evil and yet somewhat attractive mistress.

Moving Forward

After much deliberation I decided to include Italy in the favourites for our Country selection menu. Not because we have had such an influx of Italian live music fans surge through the I Love Music Live website, No, my decision for their inclusion in the top countries list is simply based on loyalty. Our two main sound engineers are Italian and are dedicated to the perfection of live music production so I feel that their efforts alone should warrant their motherlands inclusion. Not a scientific or even business like decision, however that being said a sound decision as you should always honour those that are loyal to your cause.

New Start, new Day

Here at I Love Music Live our day generally consists of playing catch up. With a mountain of work to get through we tend to prioritise and deal with whats considered URGENT and ABSOLUTELY *@@******* URGENT.

Left in the shadows has been our commitment to blog daily, even though we understand communication is key to any website looking to make its mark on the digital world, the only comments I have had recently revolves around my constantly evolving and changing "Things to do" list. In fact the constant update and completion of tasks that make this list is the driving force behind getting a regular blog . No.4 "Engage in daily blogging" has now become permanently etched onto my white board which now requires vinegar or some kind of industrial solvent to permanently remove it from our No.4 spot, creating space for another No.4 spot worthy task. Watch this space, as we now intend to fill it.

5, Who am I?

I was born August 26th 1946, I lived in Wembley, North London. My school reports which can only be described as interesting reading with comments such as " Retarded artistically. Idiotic in other respects", Art teacher, "He has great ability, but must guard against a tendency to show off" Music teacher. My music career began as a bugle boy for the Sea Cadet Corp, but I soon realized that this was not for me and swapped over to the drums, at 14 my father purchased my first kit and I began lessons with Carlo Little (early rolling stones drummer). My first serious band was called The Escorts, I also later played for a band called The Beachcombers (famous covers band, principly Cliff Richard songs), my largest musical influences however were Jazz percussionists Gene Krupa and Sonny Rollins. At 17 I joined what would turn out to be one of the largest Rock bands ever and toured the world earning the reputation as one of the greatest Drummers of all time, I also gained a reputation for blowing up toilets at every hotel I ever stayed in earning life time bans from every Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday inn's worldwide and The Waldorf Astoria in New York. My wife Kim Kerrigan bore our first child Amanda on the 12th of June 1966 but later left me for Faces keyboard player Ian McLagan. I had many friends within the music fraternity and It was I that suggested the name "Led Zepplin" to my good friend Jimmy Page who was considering calling his new band "Mad Dogs." Known for being a wild man I once passed out on stage whilst peforming at The Cow Palace, San Francisco, the cause came from the consumption of a series of Horse tranquilizers washed down with Brandy whilst performing "Won't get fooled again". I knew I would bring my own life to a premature end, The wild times eventually caught up with me on the evening of 6th of September 1978, after dining out with my close friends Paul McCartney and his wife Linda. I consumed 32 Clomethiazole pills which were a sedative to control my alcohol withdrawal symptoms, I guess my new doctor had no idea of my history as the pill Clomethiazole is highly dangerous when mixed with alcohol, as it turns out it only took 6 of these bad boys to kill me that night, in the autopsy they discovered the remaining 26 pills still undissolved. My body has been cremated and my ashes spread in Golders Green Crematorium, North London.
