....If Yes wanted to do a Banana Republic album, this would've been it... Conservative Man is a studio project that started in 2002. ...On the record all instruments/vocals are performed by Ian McCarthy, with the exception of the track "Room Call" where TSU guitarist Vahe Sarkissian laid down additional guitar work, and a mean solo. All songs written, recorded, arranged, produced, etc. by Ian McCarthy. Live performances are a rarity, but have been known to happen. In such a case, the lineup is augmented with some of the best musicians I know from the city of Philadelphia: bass/vocals-Ian McCarthy guitar-Vahe Sarkissian keys/synth-Darren Hyest drums-Justin Freeland-Sokol Enjoy, if you like this kind of thing.

~ The Altruistic Messiah ~ a.k.a. ~ Ben Vandagriff says
A penguin was driving down the road one night, when the "Check Engine" light came on. He pulled over at the gas station, and the attendant said he'd take a look at it, and tell him what was wrong.The penguin went over to a nearby shop and bought a vanilla ice cream cone. He finished the ice cream, threw the wrapper away, and walked back to the gas station, where the attendant was waiting for him. "It looks like you blew a seal," said the attendant. "Oh, no. Its just vanilla ice cream," replied the penguin. http://musicnation.com/music/thealtruistic/playlist/they-gotta-be-on-something-

Congrats to "Rantings of Eva"!!!I also wanna say congrats to everyone in this comp for getting heard and getting the recognition that you all deserve. I know I at times displayed my emotions in ways that was not cool. But it's all in the growing up department, and we all evolved from this. Just keep keeping it real, and we will once again (soon I hope), be side by side in our quest for success and being HEARD! Here's another idea for being heard! There's a new page on MN called "Collaboration Nation" for the listing of music that are collabs between 2 or more artists on MN. It's not just there you can be heard, but if you collaborate with other artists in other genres, then your limitations to which contests you can enter just opened up to an endless selection. Use whatever you can to BE HEARD!!!!! http://musicnation.com/music/mncollabs I love you all to DEATH! LSD
