I've been trying to tweek my computer speakers to get the best sound output. I don't have crappy speakers (Harman/Kardon shielded sticks with a pretty good sub-woofer), but they are almost too fancy. There's presets that I can tweek with the speakers, and then there's the iTunes equalizer that I can also play with. Given all those choices, I ended up with a pretty good bass sound, but the voc...
was certainly had.The last Harvey Danger show at the Crocodile in Seattle with Amber was not only memorable...it was also fuckin' long.After the 1st show ended. Sean Nelson and band signed stuff outside. I purchased their latest album "Dead Sea Scrolls" and had them sign the cover. Rob Knop (keyboardist) asked if we were coming back for the last show. We said yes...he suggested I grab a qui...
at least I hope to be.In a couple of hours I leave for Seattle to meet up with Amber for a date with Harvey Danger. Yes, you can consider it a double date as we have tixs for both the 5:00 AND 8:00 shows.A couple of months ago, Harvey Danger announced that they are finally disbanding and their "Last Shows Ever!" tour will wrap up in Seattle....Flippin Tonight!Then it's a quick turnaround and I...
but what choices do I have?Sure I don't have a lot to complain about, it pays the bills, close to home (6 minute commute by bike) and never so stressful that I take it home with me at night.But sometimes, just sometimes, the bastards I work with disappoint and frustrate me (and more so today).Done bitchin'. Now, 'scuse me while I watch this cautionary video.
and he's only 12 years old.Stan loves to play around with Garageband loops and our MIDI keyboard...these are some of the tracks he put together for a gift for his dad for Christmas. They are just short things, but an excellent start.And don't think I'm saying it's good cuz I have to....I'm not that kinda mom.-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-
well just a wee bit Postal Service-y at least.I should qualify, I'm wanting to post the rarer Postal Service tracks. The other day I posted about the compliation Dark Was The Night. Kevin, Rawkkidoh, mentioned the Mushaboom (remix) that The Postal Service reworked with Feist. I though I should post some of their lesser known, rare cuts, that I have compiled....some may be new to you...hopefu...
The tracks in this compilation are awesome and they continue to speak to me. I wanted to share some of my favs. Oh, her voice is so sweet...and his guitar is so light. I love the guitar and the driving drums in this one. A.C. Newman and Co. just doesn't disappoint me.Dark Was the Night is the twentieth compilation release benefiting the Red Hot Organization, an international charity dedicated...
my electronica / techno roots.Sure, I have my well documented facination with The Boards of Canada and Autechre, but lately I've been digging deep into my iPod...turning things over...loving the grooves and samples that my collection is bringing to my ears.Zagar? Where on earth did I get this from?And Four Tet? How did I forget about their album Rounds? It's just sublime.I know where I got ...
