I haven’t got any damn room.  I’ve also lent some of my equipment out to the son of one of my friends.  I want to record, but lately I haven’t been able to find the time to seriously sit down and write something out.  Perhaps I need to set aside one day a week where that’s all I do.  Thursday.  It shall be Thursdays.  Of course I say (write) this now, but we’ll see how it goes.

Currently I do have about 3 songs in the mix, though they are rough.  One song in particular sounds fucking grand, I just need to mix it properly.  Honestly I keep forgetting I even recorded that damn thing, HA!  But when I listen to it, the melody sticks in my head for days.  But once it’s gone, it’s gone.  Maybe that doesn’t bode well.  Meh…

So I’ll get to recording again, soon I hope.  Space is a big issue, currently I’m using our library for my setup.  Well some of my setup anyways, not much.  It’ll happen, some day soon.

Belated Happy St. Patrick’s Day hosers!  And I found my damn mic!  Thought it was lost forevers.  Turns out it was right where I left it, who knew?

Never trust a tailor who doesn’t leave from behind their counter.  That’s what I’ve learned.  My pants are now about 6″ shorter then they should be.  Dress-clam-diggers they are.  Bah….

So I seen Tech N9ne the other night and it was fucking GREAT! I felt like a damn old fart though, which sucked unbelievably.  Pretty much everyone there was at LEAST 7-9 years younger than me, so I stayed near the side with my wife.  That’s right.  MY WIFE CAME TO TECH N9NE! HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT?!  The best part, is that she WANTED to come.  YEEEEEAAA!  My wife fucking ROCKS!  *Throws the horns*

In other news.  You should all listen to Chimaira (The Infection), it’s fucking wonderful.  It gives me that feeling when you were like 6 years old and woke up on Christmas day before everyone else.  Freaking out that Santa was in your house only a few short hours ago and you MISSED it again!  But next year….next year Santa…I’ll catch ya.  And you fly out of your bedroom towards the tree full of presents, and you are overwhelmed with childish joy.  Remember that big present?  If you were lucky enough, you got a BIG present.  You know the one.  Awesome.  Something you’ve always wanted.  Something your friends would be jealous about.  A toy so fucking cool you held it right up in the air and would yell “See this God! SEE THIS!  I fucking WON!  YAY!”.

…. well that’s how I feel.  Go fucking listen to this album.  Seriously…  Son-of-a-bitch, this is good family music.  Makes me want to sit by a fireplace sipping some expensive dry red wine.  Alas it is late, and we ripped out our fireplace.  It was a fake.  You know, like Fred Durst.  I’m naming our old fireplace Fred.  For the record it was red.  Like his hat.  Fuck Fred.  I’m never going to forgive your sorry ass until you give me another 3 Dollar Bill Ya’ll….I hope he’s paying you well Wes.

Rock on.

So my headphone port died on my FastTrack.  That’s a pain in the ass-bits.  Not a huge deal, but considering my recent issues (lost mic, xlr is dead) it’s another kick in the pants.

In other news, if you’re a fan of MIDI get a hold of an app called Nexus.  ”Holy Eskimo Cow” now that’s a program!

Armed with a MIDI enabled keyboard, you will either sound like Brewmeister Smith’s lacky or Sascha Konietzko.  Depending on the amount of beers you’ve had of course.  I’m sure there’s a chart somewhere…

I watched a bunch of advertisements for Bud Lite….and bought a few. Which is something I wouldn’t normally do, I usually buy some “man-beer” like Colt45 or Fax 10%. When I feel fancy I’ll get some Keiths or Rickards. If I’m cheap, Lucky or Laker. But never Bud…..

And definitely never ‘lite’.

But I’m enjoying them. And this is why I feel bad….what’s next? Pop music?

There’s a link to some of the commercials. DAMMIT…lol.

Well that was fucking counterproductive to say the least.  My XLR cable is pooched.  Giant short in it somewhere near the base, I might have to dissect it…otherwise I can’t record with my….MIC that’s missing!  Ya, I’m down to one mic.  At least it’s a good one hahaha, but my other one is AWOL! LAME!  And my studio headphones have a short in them as well.  Good thing they were only EXPENSIVE!  … /sigh  Well at least I’ve owned them a very long time, and like all electronics, they don’t last forever.

You know the best thing about tuning a Floyd Rose floating bridge guitar (aside from absolutely nothing that is)?  Having your friend break a brand new string some how on one, and messing up my tuning on the other one so badly I need to reset it all up!  How does this happen you ask?  48 Laker 6.5’s with it’s terrible death-black labels mocking you the whole time.  Oh, and few Metal covers of Aqua songs.  Yes, yes….we do awful things.  If only Lene Nystrøm knew.  Actually, come to think of it I wish she did know.  Perhaps that sort of knowledge would change ones life drastically.  She may have to ask herself every morning, “What have we been doing our whole career?!”.  Ya, doubtful.  However, nothing seems to violate your soul like hearing ‘Barbie Girl’ in drop D-flat with pinch harmonics only tossed in to ensure proper ear drum puncturing.

On a side note, I’m determined to record an entire song including the new Korg 10 Plus for the DS.  Only because it’s fucking silly.

Is that our flyer from like….years ago?! I know last time I was in town it was still up. HA! Wish it had a better angle.
