17 Days, really?

Well, got nothing done really, except a couple new tracks, but to be fair I'm feeling pretty fucking amibitious about the whole thing anyway, friday that is, Secret Sounds *haha still makes me laugh, every time. Anyways yeah had a really quick go of what I had in mind last night and it seams to be working, essentially assigning each knob on my nanokontrol2 to control a different effect. Test run was delay/comby type thing, stretch, bitcrush and a reverser, sounded fucking bitching actually, real kinda old school feel and sound to it, so the plan is to make the set first, all at the same BPM, all synced, all nice, and set cue points telling me what BPM I need to change it to when it comes up to the cue. Seams kinda like cheating, cause I'd have to do all the "mixing", more like mashing in my case beforehand, but then I'd have the freedom to work the effects to bits, as well as keep control of the speed of the proceedings, either way I'm excited as shit about it, really can't wait to get this shit up and running woot

Going Postal

Going post crazy these days! Well, yesterday, and today. I suppose it may be because some things have happened, well they haven't really to be truthful, but anyways, moving on... So, first order of business is a guy came by last night and left with my laptop, hopefully that means it's gonna he's going to be fixing it. So that is good.

Now secondly, i sent pep a message on http://www.ihatebreakcore.com/ which I am effectively an admin on, not that I've ever done anything admin-like on there, apart from post like a lunatic and update the polls. Anyways we're going to try to get the contests section up and running again (I have to stop using that bullshit, Xbox troubleshooting line) but yeah, have some pretty ambitious ideas... The ideas are a bit too ambitious to reveal, and the last thing I want is to ever look back at this thing, realising that I never did any of the things I had said I was going to do. Long winded much? I know.

Anyways that's that, in other news I got a bunch of new tunes, stuff I always meant to listen to, but never did, out of stubbornness or procrastination, either way got a bunch of Xanopticon, Igorr and I:gor, as well as a few choice things, like Scenocide 202 by The Outside Agency, which has gotten some fairly mega reviews. What I was really after was Insideout Liver Meat Balloon by Doormouse, circa '98, though I'd like to think he made the tracks earlier than that... This got me to thinking about Dan Martin, and where he is now...

So, I looked it up on google earth, and this is where he is;


In Miami, being a personal trainer, in that building.

Urgh, that will have to do for today. I was going to post a track also but I can't find the embed code. Whatever.

Another one bites the dust

So it's been a long time coming, but my laptop's decided not to charge itself anymore... which means I need to get it fixed, as well as get a new one :/ not particularly thrilled about it. Kinda puts my "music" plans on hold, which is unfortunate, especially seeing as I have a set to do next month, for Tariq's bad ass looking breakcore/hardcore night "Secret Sounds" (I love that name, sounds like an underground junior disco or something)


Yeah so that should be decent, pretty all star line-up, Yeahhbuzz and Alien Hand's sets should be off the chain.

Mine will either be the same old drivel, or if I can get this laptop situation sorted, it could be something pretty bad ass.

Seems daunting though... Hope it all goes okay... Actually it always goes okay, be nice if it went phenominally, and there was another one of these next month or something!
