Damned Blinkin’ Asteroid

Blinkin' Asteroid

This is a new pattern I created this evening calling Blinkin’ Asteroid. This was done completely on the Korg Electribe Sampler.


I created this after listening to this song at lunch. You can hear how hung up I get on the smallest of tunes in a day.

Thank you Brian Eno and Karl Hyde for inspiration!
(and DAMMIT! YOU LAZY PEOPLE! I know you are all sitting there listening to this through some shitty phone speakers. I DO NOT MIX FOR CELL PHONE SPEAKERS so get yer damned head phones out, you lazy ass!)

A Whole Bin of Stupid Videos

OH MY GOSH… ITS SO HARD TO STOP… LOOKIT THE WIGGLE!!! (Me thinks the lady is losing her mind).

Nobody Bothers Me!!!

Eastern Motors. If you live in the DMV, you know this or you haven’t been alive. It’s a buncha sports people I couldn’t care less about. If you are bored, just play “point at the felon”.

Same song, only with Alexander Ovechkin… You know… that guy that IS the washington capitals team (in its’ entirety). He’s ugly, he cant sing, and what the hell was anyone thinking!

I need to visit this place. SPECIAL NOTE HON: The bawlmer accent on the announcer reading the address and phone.

And a nod to the mass media whore market of Philadelphia, here is the BEST NEWS THEME EVERRRRRR!!!

Why does Captain Chesapeake keep pictures of children on his “Cabin Wall” … and why is he dressed like a prisoner?

Thats all for now. Leave a comment or add more. I don’t have facebook… I needs the info…

A Hozpitality Prog Rock “In-Joke”…

“Aren’t they all?!”

So, I was messing around tonight after re-re-reinstalling my ableton 9 pro suite deluxe with wings. I think I got it installed now (finally).  I thought i’d noodle around with a weird noise or two and make a mess.

I call this masterpiece (at 43 seconds) “Bruford Gives Up”.

Bill Bruford Plays a Dream Cheeky Drum Set

It brings to mind Bruford’s playing in King Crimsons “Requiem”.   Also, it has smacks of the “dream cheeky orgasm” drum solo.

But I learned a pinch about Ableton 9 Live Pro Studio Ultra Deluxe Full Blown Suck You Dry version®.
