Being original is a key element for folks to recognize and identify with your band and your music. But what does being original even mean?… Because as you’re about to find out, everything is a remix.
This 4 part video series is a quick reminder that NOTHING is original, everything was taken from other sources and remixed to create a new version and vision. The first video is about one of my favourite bands, LED ZEPPELIN, who were notorious for their blatant covers/remixs/ripoffs of some famous blues and folk acts. The second video deals with film and the 3rd video deals with the elements of creativity.
Watch all 3 videos because it’ll blow your mind a bunch of times, which is always fun. The 4th video arrives in the fall but for now I’m sure you’ll have enough to think about #coversongareawesome.

Great vids.
The fact is everbody has the ability to put their own spin on things – that’s all art is, a personal interpretation of how we as individuals experience things. Even if the methods with which we choose to express those interpretations aren’t entirely original – language, rythm & melody.
Organised religion is terrible for nicking ideas off old stories.
