The latest hit from Hozpitality. Torn from the pages of the current headlines…

Staying Up Late To Make Some Beats Tonight (But Yer Not Alone)
This track started about 4 months ago with just some drum loops I programmed. I stumbled over it this evening at 9pm and I stayed at it till 2am until I finally had enough. I actually played some relatively bad bass guitar on this. I think I drowned it out with other bass lines so you cant tell how bad I am.
The WTOP traffic report was thrown in as a distraction. As always, I found a phrase or two that sounds funny when trimmed and repeated. This adds to the pointless lyrics.
Here’s what I used:
Ableton Live (of course)
Addictive Keys Plug-in (for the piano)
Bass Guitar
Korg Kaossilator Pro (for the crazy drum solo bridge)
Korg MicroKorg (sounds and vocoder)

So How Is The Job Hunt Going?
A listing for a technical writer position came up in Rockville. SIX different “recruiters” called me for it.
- All offering different lengths of contract.
- Some showed a salary range and some didn’t.
- Some of them called BEFORE sending a job description i.e., “cold called.”
- 3 left a message.
This was the one that I could understand the most. This is an example of one of the “great” recruiters in “America” that are the “Warriors of My Future” who will save me from homelessness in this “great” nation. These are the people who control my future and destiny and stand between me and that all so important encompassing enthralling career move that will change my life and make things better for me.
Let’s just listen to the magic and hope for my future.
Think I have any hope? At all?
Do you have a clearer understanding of my “attitude”?
I get this at a rate between 6-12 interactions a day. I’ve had these and answered them and tried to work with them now for 7 months. Do you think these are actual jobs? Any thoughts at all about this would be interesting from anyone. I’ve already emailed 2 congressman about this with no responses.
All I can say is WHAT THE HELL?!?!
UPDATE: I just had a job description that asked if “Any time planned off next few months (Dr appointments, Vacations, etc.)? ”
I replied with “I may get sick. I am human. I do not “need” a vacation ever, but it may be difficult to come to work constantly with no time away. Once again, I am human.”

Big Deal !!! Who Cares !!!
Racism? Anyone See The Similarity?
Below are two images from our stupid media. Am I the only one that can see an obvious problem here? I think both races are to blame. BOTH!!! NO RACE is innocent of this trend. The question is WHY?!

Allison sent me this meme that I think applies to this issue very well. I think racism will die if we all just admit this..
CeMeGo Ambient 1: Volca Breath
An “ambient” thing I did with Volca Keys, Volca Bass, and Microkorg. The Microkorg is running through the Korg MiniKP (red box). I know it’s glitchy and out of tune in places, but I’m not a musician and I thought it sounded cool either way. It’s at a 40.8 bmp in the key of “whatever”. It’s 7 minutes and 37 seconds of a 2 chord breathing type of thing. Actually this is probably the fastest I’ve ever made anything on an electronic device. All recorded in one take. No editing other than fading the open and close.
I wanted to post it right away but my internet went down AGAIN. Just like the intermittent electricity here, it’s a problem with the ghetto ass’d infrastructure down here in the shittiest place on earth, the DC metro area. I don’t even want to begin explaining how much this area sucks. You pay and pay and get SHIT. That summarizes it. Worst place I’ve ever lived EVER.
NEW DESK, DAMMIT!
Got a new desk today. Bought it at Target. It was called a “writing desk”. The guy at the check out counter said, “New writing desk eh? Doing some writing?”
I said, “Nope! Proppin’ up some synthesizers.”
He said, “Oh! Musician?”
I said, “Where?!”
Got it all set up, wired everything into the little black 4 channel rolls powered mixer (in the upper right) and marveled at how much living room space I have reclaimed because of the new desk.
I connected the sync cables for the 3 volca’s. I have not synced them to the electribe YET. Just for giggles to test them out, I hit play on the pattern on the Beats, then play on the pattern on the Bass and was amazed at how the 2, completely independently created Beats and Bass sequences, magically worked together, now that they were sync’d for the first time. I did a corny key’s diddle on top just for fun’zys. Check it out! It’s called Ode To A New Desk.
Like they used to say on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, More to Come!!!!
Another example how DC, Maryland and Virginia is the ground zero of stupidity
Well, here we go folks. The ignorant powers that be, think the Landover Maryland Redskins need yet ANOTHER FOOTBALL STADIUM. That’s right. Now MD, VA, and DC are all fighting to get this stadium put in their region….
This whole idea is so stupid it makes my head explode. Is this the freakin twilight zone?
I could not take it. I left a comment:
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?! REALLY?! This area and the NFL (the rape artistes of ignorant fans) need another stadium?? OF ALL THE THINGS THIS AREA NEEDS… we’re going to have ANOTHER STADIUM? This just reinforces the fact that this is the STUPIDEST area in which I have ever lived.
The traffic is so bad here, the taxes are too high, the team sucks (and yes, poorly named, just admit it already), the metro is crumbling and poorly managed, AND WE NEED ANOTHER FOOTBALL STADIUM? Are you people high or is there some secret Kool-Aid you are all drinking that makes this seem charming or even acceptable? (Head in hands). This is truly the absolute STUPIDEST thing I’ve ever heard of for the DC metro region.
Watch. Knowing how ignorant the priorities and planning seem to be here in the DMV, they will put this atrocity (whatever it looks like, another football stadium is an ugly idea) in an area that cant support the traffic and there will be no reasonable public transit near it. And what do we do with fedex field and RFK? How many more useless stadiums need to dot the already messed up landscape of nightmarish sprawl around here?
Folks, this whole idea of ANOTHER football stadium in this area PROVES that this is the dumbest place in the freaking developed world. What next? A public shooting range on the national mall?!? Ahh the DMV… land of entitled and rewarded INCOMPETENCE AND IGNORANCE!!!!
Just look how stupid this thing is. It looks like a stupid noodle bowl. And yes folks, that IS A MOAT around the thing. Can you imagine how that stagnant water would look and smell?
And even worse, look how delusional this architect views the weather in DC for football. Imagine laying on a fake “moat beach” while a tsunami comes in. Imagine all the drunk football fans rappelling down the side of the stadium during football games, while drunk fans in roller blades wearing booty shorts and tank tops skate around the stadium in December! All they need now are aqua-unicorns dancing in the moat. Was this done by a 5 year old with photo shop? Clearly SOMEBODY is high on SOMETHING!!!
They should show the above ground metro rail behind it (like down at RFK stadium) whizzing by in flames with people screaming out the windows in agony! That would be more appropriate! Too late, I did it myself! HA!
My GOD this town is a freaking joke! I can’t believe these images were seriously posted to the Washington Post and CBS. It’s like an alternate reality of stupidity!
DC Sucks AGAIN! Metro! Staffed by helpless Victims!
Ah… Washington DC Metro area (you too, Maryland and Virginia)… This is such a land of victims. Apparently, if you run a red light, it’s the light’s fault. If you open doors (by pressing the wrong button) on the wrong side of the metro train, it’s the button’s fault. This is so disgusting, it makes my head explode.
Today there was this article:
http://wtop.com/sprawl-crawl/2016/02/officials-seek-answers-on-metro-red-light-violations/
I was so disgusted when I read this article I almost punched my computer monitor!! I, of course, left a comment!
This is the biggest bunch of bull I have ever heard in my entire freakin life!
“big rush-rush culture” of metro? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I NEVER SEE ANY METRO OPERATOR OR EMPLOYEE RUSH FOR A N Y T H I N G! Where is this coming from? Is this some alternate reality? This is completely insane!!!!!
Why they run red lights? Cause they can! Why do they open doors on wrong side of the train? Because they can!
TURN THEM OVER! They run a red light! FIRE THEM! They open doors on the wrong side? FIRE THEM! The culture of laziness, and constantly crying victim IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE PART OF WMATA. There are thousands of people who want those jobs and can do them better. Ya run a red light? You press the wrong button and open doors on wrong side. YOU ARE FIRED! PERIOD! It’s not the button’s fault, it’s not the red light’s fault, it’s not this mysterious “rush rush culture”… its NEGLIGENCE, LAZINESS, UNACCOUNTABILITY AND COMPLETE LACK OF CONCERN AND WORK ETHIC. FIRED! FIRED! FIRED! (idiots)
Fuck you Washington Metro Area Transit Authority. Fuck you DC! Fuck you Maryland! Fuck you Virginia! Fuck every single ounce of you!
Man up, admit you suck and it’s your own fault, then start the building process and quit blaming everything but yourself. You gutless pussies!
