For the edification of any passing strangers in a similar position (Pictured: My current home recording station) 1/23/2023 It’s easy to be a headless chicken researching potential purchases. I had to remind myself that I’m trying to put forth a distinct creative vision and so need to set goals from that standpoint: what tools will... Continue Reading →
The fact that she was an actual singer/songwriter was overshadowed by all the other nonsense, and some of the production sounds dated now, but she was a pretty bitchin’ lyricist and I always thought she had something. RIP. https://youtu.be/I6Et5oxanuU
This’ll probably be my last backing track experiment before I seriously get down to trying to figure out a live rig. Delving deeper into this artist and her synth pop-opera theatrics has been great fun. https://youtu.be/dnMGNhHaw_c

I was vaguely aware of traits the dominant culture might start attributing to me, but I was astute enough to realize that 30 wasn't old... Continue Reading →
For any passing strangers who might be vaguely aware of my career saga, I’ll give you the latest chapter - though its conclusion has not yet been written. I just went on my fourth internal panel interview in four years. (As you read, keep in mind that I work for a huge corporation.) What my... Continue Reading →
Though mainly a biopic, Christine (2016) could be viewed as a horror of the banal. A friend of mine who is a horror aficionado just happened to post his review of the film on Zuckerbook this week, and even if I'd had any doubt about watching it after checking out the trailer on YouTube (I...
