Why buy if you can rent?

I was walking home today from studying and I thought I would get a little clearification. My eyes instantly fell upon a women for rent sign. I never knew renting was an option. I always thought it worked some other way... The sign says Fall and Winter or Spring and Summer... Oh well, I don't think I have enough money to afford a full year. I might just consider a Spring/Summer contract. I think they are cheaper... Also, I think I might be able to get a group rate for even cheaper... I wonder if I can rent to own.

Panaorama

I've been wanting to take a panoramic picture of the studio for awhile. So I decided that I would go out and do it. Once again it's pretty messy.

Happy St. Daddy's Day

Through out the years March 17th has stuck in my heart as a special day. Yesterday as I pinched the non-green wearers I instantly was reminded about the truly important meaning of this day...It is the birth of our dear friend Graham "The Daddy" Orme. I suggest this day be set as a national holiday in rememberence of his birth.

A Messy Studio Leads to a Messy Song.

So Our studio is a total mess... We've been working on recording some new songs and we just can't seem to get the mess under control.



Check out one of the songs we are working on... You can use the player on the side.

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal...Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle...

So I was listening to some old albums that I liked in high school and start to feel a little nostalgic... These memories of mine led me on a quest to discover my favorite albums of all time. So I began... but I quickly realized my list was too long. There are just too many to pick from. So instead of making a list of all of them I decided to make a list of my favorite albums for any given year.

I made a rule that I had to have listened to the album in that year. For example, I really liked DJ Shadows- Entroducing which was released in 1996 however, I can't add it to my list because I didn't discover it until 1999. So it is out of the picture.

The list goes all the way back to 1990 when I got my first cassette tape for my birthday.

Little Sound DJ

I just got this cartridge in the mail that for the past two years I have been looking for. I was able to get a hold of the programmer and he was able to get me a copy. It was difficult but well worth it.

The cartridge I got is called Little Sound DJ. It is a sequencer designed to play on the game boy. In a sense it is a drum machine that uses the 8-bit sound card in the game boy and allows the user to program different sounds.

Here is an example of some popular Little Sound DJers



In the near future I plan on posting some of my own Game Boy beats.
