I Will If You Will!
June 13, 2005: It was an interesting morning at the lush and lavish studios of MWS Media. First, a sprinkler valve on the expansive and well-appointed lawn burst, leading to a few hours' of repair work and no water for cooking or showering for the on-site staff. While waiting for pipe seal to dry, I pursued a very…

Latest Garageband Standings
May 24, 2005: Well, the latest song I've put to the Garageband test has finished its run... "The Western Lands" ended up in the 65th percentile in the Acoustic category... which is actually just a hair higher than my last best rated song, "Elvis C." Here are some of my favorite reviewer comments for "The Western Lands" "Have…
Check Me Out, I’m A Live DJ
May 24, 2005: So I was just checking out the computer, making sure my webcast stream was pumping out the tunes nice and regular-like, when I saw I had a listener! It was one Mark Mason, just hanging out and making requests at DIYER. So I got on the mic and had my first bona fide experience of…

It’s My Friend’s Birthday
May 19, 2005: My friend has a birthday today. I met her when we were teenagers. We fell in teenage love. It was heavy and full of drama and my tendencies toward martyrdom meshed nicely with her mental illness. We were a manga soap opera before any of us knew of such things; we were a Terry Moore…

The Last Waltz or Something Equally Dramatic
May 6, 2005: Of all the people I've played with over the years, only two bands ever continued on to make music as more or less the same group after I'd left. Running Erin, now performing as Planet Roy, is the latest. I just received their CD in the mail. Listening to the songs, about a third of…

Now Viacom Wants A Free Ride From Podcasters
April 27, 2005: It's all over the blogsphere today: Infinity Broadcasting, owned by Viacom, is going to change the format of an underperforming AM radio station in the San Francisco area to all podcasts. They're calling it "Open Source Radio." Don't you believe it. From their Terms of Service: You also grant the Site, its owner and operator,…

Maybe The Best Gift Ever
April 25, 2005: So, I don't know if it's much of a secret, how I feel about Ray Bradbury. His R Is For Rocket is among the first books I remember reading in my life... and Dandelion Wine, S is For Space, The Illustrated Man, and The Martian Chronicles are in that primordial reading list, too, along with…

Music, Writing, Driving
April 23, 2005: Today, the last day of a quasi-vacation I took from my Cursed Day Job, I was fairly productive on non-MWS Media stuff! First of all: I've started messing around with Sonar, in the eventual hope that I'll start laying down some tracks. I discovered a couple of things: 1) I haven't played bass, guitar, or…

Time To Get To Work
November 3, 2004: Well, in about fifteen minutes John Kerry's going to allow for the fact that just slightly better than half of this country prefers the morals of the god of a sheep herder over sense, progress, and security. We lost. And we will lose: more lives in Iraq and Afganistan and probably here, too... we will…
