Kaossilator PRO Glow!
Yes! Another busy box! This is mega ultra stacked with sounds and gadgets. This is just like the yellow one, only you can have 4 (not just 1) stacks of loops and you can actually save them/export them without recording them live. In this case, I recorded 6 loops (with varying amounts of things stacked in each) and exported them as wav files (via the USB connector from the KPro) and slapped them into Acid Loops. I changed the key on half of them from E to C, then laid them out in a quick and dirty ABACAB layout (I didn’t wanna spend all day on it).
Needless to say, this is a MUCH simpler way to make music. I’m sure Bob will rate this like I’m going for a top 10 blockbuster hit, but it is just an initial experiment to get a sample of it on the blog. The phasing and volume effects were added in Acid. Stay tuned for more!

Happy Little Clouds
New theme song… Hell, NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM!
Yay! More music I’m ape shit about that nobody cares about (except for a few). Mike Keneally just finished his co written album with Andy Partridge (from XTC). They just put a video out for one of the songs. Once again, I love music that conveys misery and loss but still seems upbeat (explains my love for Fleetwood Mac too)! No better status report for me could be put to music! I think this could be a testament for everyone struggling through the joke/lie known as “The American Dream”. Listen to the lyrics. They’re awesome!
NOTE: Wont be at the superbowl half time show, Wont be doing a stadium concert, Wont be on American Idol/Glee/Dancing with the Stars, Wont be on the radio. You got it here! So suffer! HAHAHAHA!
Happy Independence! Let them eat cake!
Johnny North Tower makes a mean ass cake for the 4th of July at the Constitution center in Philly. Somewhere a diabetic is salivating!
Atlantic City – Gamble’rama!
Had wonderful time in Atlantic City, NJ this past week with Jaqueline Vargas! The “playing was fun and the action was hot”! We stayed at Harrah’s Waterfront Tower in the Marina on the 29th floor (where you are chained to the hotel and forbidden to walk to any other hotels unless you pay $8.00 for a 1/2 mile cab ride). We gambled and drank Monday, drove down the Jersey coast on Tuesday, and gambled our way through checkout. We had a “smoking room” that smelled like Bob Marley had a blunt fest in it, so we were right at home! Had a blast! Below are some random pictures from the trip.
Picture 1: The shower at Harrah’s was the highlight of the room! Big and spacious with tons of water pressure, and a seat for when you are too drunk to stand!
Picture 2: The Cape May Lighthouse (with the Black Manta sitting in the parking lot for proof we were there).
Picture 3: A random war bunker on the Cape May point beach.
Picture 4: View looking North East over the Harrah’s complex, the bridge to Brigantine, and the ocean in the distance.
Picture 5: View looking North West over the Absecon Bay with big storm clouds.
Picture 6: The Cape May bird santuary.
The Transit of Venus
Cool NASA video made using different wavelength images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory showing Venus as it orbits in front of the sun.
Its pretty humbling if you consider that the Earth and Venus are roughly the same size. Seems from these images that the ancients had it right…all hail the Sun. The only true power that controls all of our destinies…
