Filler.

So not a lot has been going on here since the little redesign. I am working with my hosting company to get Opentape up and running so I can share with you the playlist I made for a “Mixtape” party where I won “Best mix to make love to”. Very different from “Best mix to fuck to” which was won by a very dirty, DIRTY mix, created by the hostess, natch. Mine is more of a slow jam collection. Opentape is pretty easy to set up, it’s just server-side tech BS that’s giving us problems.


Also, I bought a synth the other day, the infamous microKorg. Used by brazillions and zillions of bands, it’s a super affordable faux-analogue deal which sounds great. At last year’s Sled Island, about two thirds of the bands had one on stage, both local and international acts. Super versatile. I got mine for about half of retail price at a pawnshop near my place.

Lastly, if you are actually interested in my well-being, I’ve been home sick from work yesterday and today, which has involved drinking lots of tea, watching a lot of The IT Crowd, The Daily Show and Colbert Report, and noodling around on previously mentioned synth. So far I spent about two hours creating the perfect west coast g-funk Dre bass fart sound.
