the daily dub

Good song, mildly haunting - Chairlift - Bruises - from their self-titled album.

A full .zip file of the show: Live at Caffe Trieste - June 28, 2008.

I’m finally, yes finally mixing down the June 28th show.

Yea, it has taken me a god damn long time to get to it.  Actually, it was basically mixed already, I just never got around to sound checking and mixing it down to mp3s.

A couple quick first impressions:

• Noodling between songs is no bueno - we need to cut that shit out.
• Also, our set needs to flow more (which leads to a shorter overall time)
• Following that, we need more song, preferably more originals.
• Given more originals, and a slightly more professional appearance (see point 1), I’d be 100% down to do a coffee shop tour of San Francisco, Sunnyvale, California, and/or across the states.
• And also: we handled a broken string in the middle of a song, twice! and we handled it well.  Rock on.
• A sparkly, clean mix (such as I got by using an 8 channel audio interface) necessitates a clean performance (which we didn’t exactly have) since you can way more easily hear all the mistakes… Next time, we’ll have a lot more rehearsals.

Anyway, expect mp3s of the show by tomorrow.

Cheers!

I’ve heard this song a couple times while driving with Athena, and
both of us absolutely loved it. But, unforunately neither of us knew
who it was..

Until now…

If you like blues with a bit of a soul edge (think Robert Randolph)
then you’ll love Home by Marc Broussard.

Thanks Shazam!!

Sent via a series of disturbances in the force…

Yesterday was a rough day. I had a huge bug coming down from “on-high” if you know what I mean, and everything in my normal day-to-day software project broke all at once.

Hectic is putting it lightly.

But, I got it done. And quick, once I had the right tools.

So, to reward myself, on a whim, I went out and bought a PA system.

I ended up buying a pair of JBL JRX115’s, a Crown XLS 402, and the required SpeakOn cabling.

It just got a whole lot louder around my apartment (complex).

I is a happy boy.
