http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/26554 On Thursday, May 15, I'll stop the world, just long enough for you to melt with this! This one is for all of you experimental nu bako sound artists out there.&nbsp; I'm beginning a brand new series on Thursday, May 15 at the all new Bakersfield Sound Underground blog site. It poses a series of challenges to artists interested in carving out a whole nu bako sound by fusing the Bakersfield Sound of yore with myriad other genres, including 80s rock, Seatle-based grunge, punk, post-punk, new wave, alt rock, and something I refer to as experiMETAL TM.&nbsp; On Thursday, I plan to release my re-make of I'll Stop the World (and Melt with You) by Modern English.&nbsp; It will appear on a future CD of mine called 8Tease.&nbsp; Your nu Bako&nbsp;TM&nbsp;mix will be featured here and at Bakersfield Sound Underground dot com. There's no fusion involved with my re-make.&nbsp; That will be your job, and your first Nu Bako Sound&nbsp;TM&nbsp;&nbsp;Fusion Challenge. You will take this song, add a little bit of Bakersfield Sound flavor, either as a DJ mix, or a whole new altered cover of the original tune.&nbsp; So, what do you say?&nbsp; Are you up for the challenge?&nbsp; Remember, if you're not going underground, you're not going anywhere.&nbsp; So check out the new contest Thursday at: http://www.bakersfieldsoundunderground.com &nbsp; &nbsp; On Thursday, May 15, I'll stop the world, just long enough for you to melt with this!
