  1. In Topic:Google Music Invitation?

    29 May 2012 - 06:29 PM

    You have to be invited in Canada due to restrictions from the CRTC. If you can get an invitation (like what happened when they first launched Google+ was in beta) you can block your IP address and activate your Google Music account in Canada. It doesn't matter if you use it in Canada, they just won't let you activate the service with a Canadian IP.

    Artie, is that Halifax Yorkshire or Halifax Nova Scotia?

    Ian.


    That would be Halifax, Nova Scotia sir. Funny enough my missus went out and bought it for me today to give me as a surprise after no luck in Halifax. She's a keeper!

    I'm in the process of importing it to my devices now.

    Cheers,

    I went to HMV but they sold their only copy they ordered. Halifax just doesn't have a great appreciation for the blues sadly.

    I have tried the Propranolol route and it worked for a while but was hell to get off,



    I was on a similar pharma and I decided I didn't want to take it anymore. I'm still nervous but it's not covered up and pushed down anymore, it comes and goes freely which is easier I find.

    I totally bombed my intro to Pride and Joy in this Youtube video, so I know all about nerves, lifetime in-fact.

    Here's what I do sometimes when it's bad. If you're feeling overwhelmed by a client/teammate/bandmate/boss/or a girl you just can't get up the nerve to talk to remember this one thing. Everybody Poops. Now I know that's kind of a strange idea, but it really humanizes whoever you're intimidated/or enamoured with, and when you humanize them a lot of the times whatever your brain has cooked up goes away. Just think about them taking a dump, any kind of dump really. Kind of like the old "picture everyone in their underwear" but more, I don't know contemporary?

    Anyway hope it helps.

    Cheers to you. Human nature in history is so amazing isn't it?!! So inspiring and great in so many ways :) and at the same time so many mistakes too. You are right it is certainly a collective learning experience.

    Thanks for replying Brandon, please don't take it down though. It is my mistake for misunderstanding the meaning and reading something negative in it that wasn't there. Cheers for being cool about it

    Hi Brandon
    That read as quite an angry post. Maybe the humour was lost over the internet? Nazi Germany only 65 odd years ago was doing the most atrocious things, but that was then and I proud to think that most Britons realise this and recognise it was a different time.
    You're not really pissed/proud off about your ancestors did are you? I just think I'm me and o...

    Hi nice to meet you. My name is Matt. I just read your post on the forum.
    I think it is always a case of it is not what you play, but how you play it that counts.
    Hearing a version of Greensleeves with lovely tone, dynamics and projection is better than a tense and not quite ready for public airing virtuoso piece.
    good luck
