Ahoy hoy comrades!
So if you have read my previous post about the Mac Pro being destroyed and the subsequent loss of all my previous songs I was working on then you know why they never got finished. I am working on recreating those from the screen shot I posted when I was working on them and the handwritten notes I have, but its a slow process. So in the meantime I have made a new song which I present to you today. I haven’t titled it yet so I am just calling it NumbaUno. Any name suggestions are more then welcome and PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK. I want my music to be liked by people and love being criticized. Please let me know what it needs/doesn’t need/anything I should change.. Here is the screenshot of the Logic Pro window so you haters that may think I didnt compose this myself can shove it…Everyone else, enjoy!
And what I have so far:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
When I bounced all the tracks to MP3 format I realized that there is 45 seconds of silence at the end which I need to cut off because there is nothing after that, just an FYI. Also this is a very ROUGH copy of the song as there still needs to be EQ’ing and mastering done to it so just bear with me. PLEASE give me some feedback on what I have so far as I want my music to be enjoyed by all types of people and want to know what I should do to achieve this. Thanks for listening!

We have all seen some funny cars while traveling the roads of the US and other countries, and I would like to share some of the ones I have come across while living in Colorado. The first one I came across while walking back to my house in Boudler from getting some food on The Hill (those of you who know Boulder know what this is). From a distance it just looked like the car had a shoddy paint job but as I walked closer to it I realized that it was not paint I was seeing, but ASTROTURF… yes astroturf. Someone had the grand idea of covering their entire car with astroturf!!! What the hell was that person thinking??? It may be hard to visualize but so you can see exactly what I mean by covering the car in astroturf, here are some pics I took:
Now the second car is more of a”Damn thats pretty sweet” than “What the hell…?” kind of vehicle. I was driving down in Denver and came across a white station wagon that this kid pimped out to look like the Ghostbusters vehicle. Lights, sirens, spinning sattelite dishes, wires, the whole nine yards… This thing even plays the theme song from a PA speaker he mounted on the outside of the car. Here are some pics and a video to show you the whole car in action:
And the video: ghostbusters-car
This third car is just plain absurd and screams out “White Trash!” I don’t know if these people let their children doodle on the car to deter them from drawing on the walls in their house but whatever it is it looks like a bunch of five year olds did it. And the funny thing is when I was taking these pictures the people in the car were smiling and waving at me thinking that I was so awe struck and amazed that I just had to take pictures of it. Little did they know I am now ripping on their abomination of what they call their “daily driver” and straight up laughing in their face… What the hell are these people thinking???
Just wanted to share some local favorites of mine…lemme know what ya think!

Hello Again Everyone!
Well, hello to those of you that have checked out my blog in the past and those who may view it in the future! It’s been a while but now I’m back and will be updating my blog more frequently now that I have the means to. Unfortunately I dropped my Mac Pro and completely destroyed it, and in doing so lost all my previous music projects and applications that allow me to make my tunes. It took me a while to get another computer and to re-load everything I needed to produce the sweet luscious sounds that come from the ideas in my head through the neurons in my brain down to my hands which click the mouse and prance along my MIDI keyboard which in turn activates the mechanical neurons in the hardware which travel through the USB 2.0 cord down into my new MacBook which processes all of the input and culminates into my music and other various items posted on this blog.
Excuse the above run-on sentence as I know it could be cut up in a more grammatically correct way but Im too lazy/excited to move on to more meaningful posts…MOVING ON….So I’m glad to be back and have one project I am working on that I would love some feedback on, along with other posts that some might find humorous and interesting. I just want to say thanks for anyone who might view this blog and comment as I appreciate anything that ya’ll might think about my blog…and thanks for visiting!
