In which there’s music.
Here’s the second rough of one of my new band’s demo tunes:

 
 Get Ready (Second Rough): Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

(And yes, Naomi, I had RB fix the ‘chew’ sound you didn’t like. I live to serve!)
One of these days, we’ll get organized and record a third tune… and then learn enough material to actually do a gig if someone hires [...]

In which you sign up and we all exchange CDs and have lots of fun!
My woman-hed Deboka is looking for new music, so I’m building this playlist the other day. I think, “I’m gonna send her one song for each letter of the alphabet! How fun is that!” Then I spend an hour having fun [...]

April 11th, 2007

In which I’m amazed, dismayed, and groovin’.
1. It fucking snowed. Snowed! On April 11th!
2. I drove past Los Portales and it appears to be closed. Like, permanently. WTF?
3. My b(r)other and I send each other MP3s via gmail. I finally got the last few he’d sent me downloaded and imported into iTunes and synched to [...]

In which there are season-inappropriate MP3s.
I saw the chiropractor this morning — I fucking love that guy — and I swear I’m two inches taller now! I really needed to get cracked; you shoulda heard the noises my neck made.
Today, I’m geeking on Bowie’s sexy, moody suite Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise) from his 1974 [...]

In which I do my administratrix thing.
I upgraded goblinbox to WordPress v2.0.2 today! It was terrifyingly easy! I’m so happy it’s hard not to squeal.
I also installed a calendar over at house-11.com. It’s supposed to be so the band can put their schedules in there so we know when rehearsals are and when gigs are, [...]

In which I’m in SO much trouble.
I’m no longer allowed to post MP3s on this server ’cause I keep getting in trouble for it.
If I understand it right, goblinbox.com is physically located on a server colocated at The Planet, which is, I think, a server farm somewhere in California. I think my buddy Keef [...]

February 28th, 2006

In which I share the MP3 love.
This combination of songs is typically me: vintage Elton John and neo-soul hardly go together, but these two songs were at the top of my playlist all weekend anyway:
Mellow – Elton John This track is from John’s brilliant 1972 LP Honky Chateau, an album my dad spun a [...]

In which you can download some free MP4s, if’n you wanna.
I’m doing tedious server management stuff today, so I’ve got my Sony earphones in my head — the ones NLW had me buy, like, a year ago, the ones I never used until I figured out I should bring them to work and plug them [...]

February 8th, 2006

In which I post some MP3 links.
So thanks to Sean’s The Rex Monday, I’m really into this track called Vistareel — it’s my current earworm. (You can, and probably should, get it here.) It’s ambient so not something I’d normally geek on, but it’s eerie and deep and catchy as hell and the vocal samples [...]

January 12th, 2006

In which you hear me sing a song that was written for me to solo on. For real.
Remember my trip to New York last September? To sing on a friend’s acapella album? Well, I saw her over New Year’s and she gave me the tracks.
She doesn’t like them and isn’t going to use them; she [...]

January 5th, 2006

In which I’ll probably not look as young or thin as I once did.
Tonight at House 11 rehearsal we’ll be setting the band room back up (now that the gear is all back from the gig), and then watching the video from New Year’s Eve.
*groan*
The band will now know about that one verse I made [...]

In which my brother got a new drum kit.

This is one of the dozen images my brother emailed me of his new drum kit.
On the phone today he told me, “My new drum kit is so hot it’s going to have my kids. As soon as I find its vagina, that is.”
In other news, [...]
