Significantly challenged this morning for a host of reasons. On the drive into work, however, I was treated to Hot ‘Lanta by the Allman Brothers and a cover of I Fought the Law by Mike Ness of Social Distortion. Perspective regained, some sense of balance restored, on with the day. I love music. And I really dig XM Radio.

Good day…

‘S been a while since I’ve written anything here… and I miss doing so…

So I think I’ll endeavo(u)r to do so on a daily-type basis to get back into the habit… with a daily observation or  picture or whatever…

My observation for today is that I really really really like XM radio… we euthanized my semi-beloved aged green Honda and got a new car that came with this new-fangled whiz-bang satellite radio stuff… and I dig it… I especially like that fact that our free trial period is over and the powers that be haven’t twigged on that they should be charging us… I guess the only thing better than satellite radio is satellite radio on the house…



A New Addition

So as it has been, as is typically the case, a while without many posts… I realize have yet to post a pic of the latest addition to my group of guitar buddies… I picked up this spiffy Yamaha SA503 TVL a couple of months ago and am very impressed… I’ve always wanted a Bigsby, a Semi-Hollowbody, and something with P90-style pickups… kinda fits the bill on all fronts, plays great and has an amazingly wide range of tones…

A neat-o live version of this lovely tune.

And this would be how you play the Djembe…

 



Musically Delicious

I’m compelled to mention the band Cloud Cult.  I stumbled upon them through Spinner.com’s Video Podcast and was blown away.  Further investigations only added to my blown-away-ness.  Supremely great music and an interesting approach to life and the music business.  Highly recommended.

so since my last postings back in ’07 we’ve finished the basement… except for some minor stuff… and close to completion is my long-dreamed-about music room… a little guitar based sanctuary if you will…

i dig them guitars…

and gadgets… i like gadgets…

so from the guitars and gadgets angle i’d have to say this is pretty groovy… always being in tune and properly intonated… a good thing…

there’s been a couple of cool guitar things released recently… gibson also put out their digital guitar a while back… and earlier this year fender released the rather lust inducing vg strat

so driving to work today i uncovered a most excellent tape of the most beloved and somewhat recently deceased spank, the band i was in back in seattle… sounds like it was from a practice as we ramped up for our official cd release party a couple years ago… the usual crap rehearsal space mix is evident but i was quite impressed with the little performances i found there… them there songs are actually pretty good and we played ‘em well… i really like(d) playing in a band… that one in particilar… that’d be one of the things i miss most since our cross-continent relocation last year… i think a new, most likely solo, musical experience is coming though… there’s going to be a music room / studio in the new basement where i plan on laying down some phat tracks yo… stay tuned…
