Various Things...

First up, if you didn’t get the memo, there’s a new set from Standard Beat Company, Boiler Room Beats. Single hits, some loops, plus Poison. It’s like if Bell Biv DeVoe was produced by Adrian Utley. (I’m aiming for a pull quote Wade can use in his marketing. NAILED IT!)

Next up, I’m 97.3% certain that RoughRider Re will be included in the initial offerings for the Reason 6.5 Rack Extension store. It will be $29/25€. They use tier pricing like Apple, so the price will vary somewhat depending on where you are. Sorry, people that take advantage of exchange rate differentials. In any event, it has passed all tests from the Props folks, and has been accepted, so as far as I know, we’re good to go.

Next, it is my birthday next week. In honor of this lofty event, I have purchased a MIG welder, because nobody I know would think to get me one. I shall weld things. The first thing I shall weld is an Anti-Tank Guitar. Because I’m of the firm opinion that there’s a good buck to be made starting a Lab Report cover band and trying to get a gig at the Gila River Indian Casino. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Finally, in the interests of continuing our discussion from the previous post, during my research I came across this video. When I saw the Make logo I thought it would either be an optical theremin (gag) or something crafty but ultimately useless. (Cute for a minute, but ultimately gag.) Turns out, not at all. Worth a watch if you’re intrigued about this sort of thing, but it takes a while to get to the good stuff. Here is the dude’s website. His name is Tim Kaiser.
