The unshaken need to buy more gear. And lots of it. Like Delay!
...
Yeah lots of Delay...
And Reverb...
Funny though, the word reverb isnt recognize as a real word by this spellcheck firefox has built in.
But yeah. Delay. It was in my dream the other day. Yeah my dreams are chock full of delay. Even in my battle scenes in my dreams. Like I was fighting someone with a whip, and this whip she had, had a dotted eighth delay on it. Warm analog delay on a whip.
So about GAS.
Heres my potential rig. You know, for when I get famous. It could happen.
So I have official started a dream journal. It has 2 entries and is really lame... My dreams suck so far. One consisted of driving down the road, and the other was just me staring at a toy airplane... Im so boring.
Hello everyone. This is the first of a series im going to start called How to listen to music
Now then. We all listen to music everyday. Whether it be cleaning the house, or driving around town or before you sleep at night. But are we actually listening to it? I mean really listening and experiencing it? Ok, Here we go. I would recommend you start by finding somewhere to listen. Like a comfy cosy spot perhaps that you sit in to watch TV or where you usually spend free time. Get a hot cup of tea(or coffee if thats what your into) and get relaxed. Youll be amazed at how much you like it.
Next, pick out a CD. The reason im saying CD, is because they are (usually)arranged in such a way to be one cohesive movement. If you get a mixtape of your favorite songs, there wont be any flow or 'theme' if you will. Try to find something new, that you have never heard before. Or maybe something you havent heard in a while.
No music is inherently superior to any other. Listen to whatever you like. The value of music is what it feels like, and this is something you alone experience.
One last tip for lesson one - Stick with it! If you skip a song, even if you genuinely just dont like it, your missing out. Try to listen for nuances you didnt hear before.
Face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds ground into my face now and every angles covered with just another... band aid. A little bit of relient k's witty lyrical musings. Thanks to a friends facebook status update, these lyrics have been in my head all day.
So lets see. Im typing this from the church mac-book on vacation with the fam in kissimee at a music conference. Its pretty sweet though. They have a huge show room with tons of demos including a TC electronics stand. Unfortunately they werent demoing the nano-delay or nano-reverb =(. They did have this cool vocal harmony processor though. Anyway, they also had a ton of lights for small venues/churches and a company that specializes in manufacturing and installing proffesional grade lighting for enormous venues. Theres also tons of choir stuff. Its amazing though, how 98% of every choir song ive heard, was ripped off. Like chris tomlin, or lincoln bruister stuff. Heck, one guy said his next project was rearranging the ENTIRE casting crowns album into choir music. Thats a joke if you ask me. Wheres all the original stuff? Im against using too much of other peoples music if you couldnt tell. I realize that being in a worship band basically requires me to have to play everyone elses music. I am aware of that... Hmm. Worship needs a change if you ask me. What if... Every church wasnt aloud to play other churchs music for a month... Heck even a week... No hillsong (gasp)... Oh nevermind what Am I thinking... haha
So I finally finished collecting all the garbage(ie: Trash, Rubbish) needed to send in my application for admission to Baptist College of Florida. If all goes well, ill send it out tomorrow morning. I feel accomplished. My uncle told me that getting admission into college is the hardest part...
Been listening to alot of Modest Mouse recently. They really are an acquired taste though. Um. Like an investment almost... The album called 'Good News for people who love Bad news' is the most accessible of their albums so Ill put a song from that album down below for you all to listen to.
(Pretty cool band pic except for that guy second from the left... He looks weird...)
If business picks up at the store, and im able to get money, I should be getting a new laptop by the end of the week. One of those fancy new netbooks =) its a 10 inch. Its called the 'eeepc' by asus. Now that looks great in typing but im not sure how to pronounce it. I dont think i wanna try...
Two words...Paranormal. Activity (Cue generic horror track, with lots of shrill violin noise). Some people I know cringe at the very mention of this horror thriller. I just saw it last night and I must say I was not impressed. Now if you know me, you would know that I do NOT watch horror movies on a regular basis. I like Final destination, and maybe saw, but thats about it. I dont like horror movies with a main villain character, they just seem sorta cheesy. Ok, but Paranormal was just rediculous. I mean, im not gonna say it wasnt scary. I was pretty scared. But looking back at it, it was like... 'Mehh'...
