Dinosaur Jr; the stereotypical slackers. Mascis; Barlow; Murph (just Murph): three early-twentysomethings still overburdened by a torpid adolescence and a disastrous dress sense. With battered guitar; bass; and kit; they carry around a catalogue of songs that betrays identities half-formed at best; schizoid at worst. But listen. 1987; a new album; a snapshot of a moment when a furious musical intensity swung upwards and pushed their lyrics and Masciss vocal whine far into the margins. Searing riffs; mountainous solos; and the tightest of fills ndash; underpinned by stream-of-consciousness structures and a palette of crazed effects ndash; steal the show. These three build a one-off sound that stirred up the hardening alternative mainstream and drove it to distraction. Youre Living All Over Me: supposedly Masciss indictment of what it was like to tour in a van with these other two misfits; but also testimony to the obsession ndash; an itch; a disease ndash; that the bands disengagement from their world had produced. This record cares so little it cares a lot.

You should be aware of music teory before using it; like scales; modes; chord progressions; etc. But great for songwriting development and writers block...I also have two books from the same author that completes the material with great exercises...the Harmony and Melody workshop...those come with dvd...combine those three and you will become great at songwriting...cheers from Costa Rica !!!! :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Essentially disappointing!By dutchw48Very disappointing; especially coming from Berklee which offers online degrees in music! This book is short; inconsistent; confusing; and ultimately unsatisfying! I recommend it be avoided!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice little reference to get ideasBy Chuck HillIve taken Jimmy Kachulis Berklee Online workshops on Melody and Harmony and this is a handy quick reference for those classes. All five mode charts from the appendix in the bigger books is there; along with the power progressions; so theres nothing new there. But if youre traveling; or just want to quickly thumb through for some ideas; this little book is ideal.
