Damned 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!)
The Second CHOB Album Has (Crash) Landed!
The triumphant return of the Hozpitality spin-off, Chob. Pushing the limits, of their former ambient/sound painting foundation, Chob incorporates more rhythms and sonic textures of radiance, and sinister darkness. Dive into the sea of exploration with the sonic exploitation of Chob II.

Eighth Release from Hozpitality!!! We’re BACK!
Inspired by this quote:
My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to, not because I wanted a job as a musician. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist. It’s like having a ready-made formula if you are able to read it.
— Brian Eno
Track List
- Synchroid Inclusion (2:30)
CeMeGo “barely” tries to play bass guitar on this one. This uses the Synchroid phone application for bleep bleep music fun. - Waka Waka (3:41)
A pre-built rhythm on the Korg Electribe S causes Brian and CeMeGo to break out in a crazy jam. Brian plays the spooky atmospheric phone app Caustic. - Nicky Anus (3:21)
MsNeeBo tells the story of what it would be like to be married to a guy named Nicky Anus. This also happens to be her fictitious hockey player in NHL 2014 for the PlayStation. - The Mean Streets (8:12)
Another pre-built rhythm on the Korg Electribe S. Brian does the spooky atmosphere and occaisional melody on the phone app Caustic. CeMeGo pointlessly mashes pads on the Electribe and Kaossilator. - Hipster Roller Rink (2:43)
Started as an instrumental track by CeMeGo. MsNeeBo and Bitchin Bob demanded a vocal. This was the result. (BitchinBob channels Fred Schneider). - NDAD (1:30)
“Neighbors Dogs are Dicks”. This is an actual recording of the chorus of dog barkings behind MsNeeBo’s house on a lovely fall evening. This uses the Kruud VST synthesizer/sequencer on the Korg Microkey for quirky melody. Hang in for the rockin’ break down on the last half of the track. - Jagdeesh Donuts (4:03)
A Dunkin Donuts in Eldersburg, MD has an annoying order taker with the name “Jagdeesh” who always yells your order back at you. He’s very aggressive. MsNeeBo hit the drive thru with a recording device. Magic ensues with Sweet Tea and Cream Cheese. - Black Friday(Get Behind Me) (3:03)
This was recorded around Christmas 2013. MsNeeBo and CeMeGo playing with the magic of synthetically tortured voices on the Kaossilator. A song about Christmas shopping riots with a rhythmic electronic “bop” for good measure. - Godwins (6:56)
Heavy distortion lovers rejoice!! BitchinBob on electric guitar and CeMeGo on bass guitar flailing and reverb/delay smashing. BitchinBob reveals the true nature of biblical doctrine at the end in “evil satan voice”. Thought of the day: “Things that don’t work properly will now become things that DO work properly.” Fortunately “God Wins!”

Hozpitality 2015 Explosion!!!
Some very hot molten tracks were laid down tonight!!!
Brian and I laid down some shit with:
- his phone app, Caustic
- Korg Electribe Sampler
- Korg Kaossilator Pro
- Korg MiniKP (red box)
Here’s the hot sexy results.
Try not to think you are in a Baretta chase scene with this one called “Crystal Shit”:
This is a long ride, but worth it for the ending.
Leave comments and prepare ideas. Hozpitality’s new album is coming at you like an electronic tsunami!!!!!!
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”.
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®.
Just preppin for the arrival of the Electribe Sampler… (its comin dammit! they billed me already!)
Stupidly fun and shit’s GOTTA get better than this!
Garfunkle & Oates – Handling Your Women’s Issues (and Go Kart Racing While Masturbating)
I cant understand it, but this stuff kills me.
It’s like if Jane Wiedlin from the Go Go’s and Joni Mitchell just said, “Fuck it!”
Better Than the Original… By Far!!!
This guy has totally improved on this song.. ya probably need to know the original really well to notice… but this is awesome.
Song of The Week or Moment (Roy Ayers-The Freaky Deaky)
I would just like to say, we get an excellent bargain here.
Not ONLY do we get THE freaky deaky …
BUT ALSO…
THE fonky donkey..
I mean, what more could you ask for? How about a poll?
Loading ...Can you imagine?
In the words of Big Uncle Joe Biden, “This is a very big fuckin deal, right here.”
Note: The wonderful stylish bathrobe hallway bead outfit Mr. Roy Ayers is sportin. Man is ALL CLASS! Makes Jay-Z look like cheap breakfast cereal.
R.I.P. Chris Rainbow
Chris Rainbow (aka Chris Harley), one of my favorite singer/song writer/producers, passed away February 26, 2015. Known as a “one man beach boys”, you can hear why in his vocal production.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Rainbow
He sang in many of my favorite Alan Parsons Project songs.
I liked his solo stuff the best though.
This one hurts folks. May take a while for me to heal this. Sad day for my taste.
UPDATE:
This website provided a few extra tracks on youtube that I did not have. They have promptly been ripped (as they aren’t available anywhere else).

This serves as a well done memorial site.
