Soulshine Interview with G. Love
Dec 22, 2009

Soulshine’s Max Easton sits down for a chat with G. Love to talk about his recent Australian only release of Long Way Down, the first release from the band’s own label, Philadelphonic Records. This Australian-only album, and the mere fact that the country has become a solid touring destination for the group, with shows across the country almost every year, highlight the unique relationship that exists between the band and the country. With this most recent album, an international one on the way, a novel titled 101 Ways Not to Fuck Up Your Chances of Being a Rockstar, G. Love knows how to keep busy.

Check out the full interview to hear his take on everything from the state of the music industry to the pros and cons of going independent versus signing with a major record label to how to develop your own musical style.

G. Love Blog: 101 Ways…
Dec 22, 2009

Greetings Phamily and Phriends. This week we get back to another segment from my forthcoming book, “101 ways not to F!ck up your chances at being a Rockstar”.

Enjoy! G

101 ways: Less is More.

This one is from my drummer. “Hey- How yous guys doin’? I’m Mr. Less Ismore”. You know the less you do the more you are…Hmmmmm. Also Kyle from Slightly Stoopid says it pretty good in his song “Everything you Need”. “The harder you try, the less you succeed, don’t try at all and get everything you need” well, that’s a little bit off base but close. Another analogy to the less is more saying is that you will be louder if you whisper than if you scream. Meaning, people will listen closer to you if you whisper - they may just cover their damn ears if you scream!

This chapter relates mostly to playing music but basically I’m saying you can have a huge impact by being understated.

Musically speaking, only play as many notes as you need to get your point across. Please don’t musically masturbate all over the 2-inch tape (or protools). I know it feels good but goddamn! Stop touching yourself (musically speaking of course). There is just as much music in the space before the note and after the note as there is in the note itself. Ahhhhhhhh so profound. Now stop noodling and stick to the song!

For examples see Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and all of the Blues Masters.
