  • Create a pop hit in 8 hours

    This is something I would never do: try to create a hit pop song in 8 hours.  It’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I wouldn’t.  These guys, on the other hand, did.  I think it’s awesome. You can download their song, “Lights, Camera, Action” here.  (right-click, save as…)

  • Why dual-boot Linux when you can run it from a USB flash drive?

    I’ve been a sideline fan of Linux for a long time.  My very first experience with it was buying one of those 800 page, dictionary-sized technical manuals for Linux which came with Red Hat, Slackware and Caldera.  I effectively destroyed my Windows 95 box trying to get Red Hat installed and failing. After that, I was much more cautious,…

  • Random Song of the Day #15

    Today I’m going to do some shameless self-promotion for the random song of the day: my remix of Amanda Palmer’s “Map of Tasmania” from her new album “Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under.”  To be brutally honest, I don’t really like the song all that much.  I saw “remix contest” and I jumped to enter before…

  • Random Song of the Day #…uhh…14

    Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve done one.  I’ve been waiting until I had a chance to figure out which one of @TheBoyEllis’ songs on Soundcloud I should use.  In the meantime, this one comes courtesy of @tpbdotorg: Now I’m going to go download his album, which you can do, too, right here.

    For anyone curious, here’s a copy of my notes (an earlier draft, I’ve added to them a bit since).

  • A History of Bedroom Production — Part 1

    Mark started his history of music production yesterday, and I thought I would follow suit.  I’ve never documented the process.  As I warned on his blog, my history is messy and doesn’t involve fancy equipment.  In fact, to a large extent, it mostly involves the cheapest equipment available.  But I’ll get to that. It all…

  • MLK

    MLK

    I’m not the type of person who likes to commemorate or memorialize the occasion of a day like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  For the most part, my observation of any holiday is whether I choose to take the day off and (at least since my son’s been in school) influenced by whether G has…
