Santa? I is one.
I'm one of those people that is impossible to buy gifts for. If I like something, I just go buy it, thus leaving no room for gifts, and if it isn't something I already wanted, I don't care, and I don't really have any…

Deez Nutz and other subjects of import...
As expected, Adam's PACE missive garnered quite the response. (Don't even get me started.) I was fairly amused by the comments on CDM, in particular those from Matthew Davidson, who spent several posts essentially…

Stormy Weather Open Thread...
We're having a bit of a blow here on the Wet... errr... West Coast; the power has gone out at least a dozen times today, and quite frankly, I'll be stupefied if I wake up tomorrow and I don't have to get the generator…

Generator...
Adam is on forced sabbatical this week, because sometimes coding makes him want to go drown kittens or something. So I've been busying myself working on the Record That Never Ends, otherwise known as Callisto, and…

Just a flesh wound...
My MachineDrum has developed a brain tumor. Bummer. The Elektron people are, as usual, quick to respond and very helpful. It's a bit of a drag that they are in Sweden and all (not for them, for me) but there you go. So…

Unnerving...
There's some artists which you would give their due acclaim, should the opportunity arise, but you just don't pay close attention to what they're up to in general because they're so fuckin' omnipresent. David Gilmour…

Ouch.
Back from the Big Show. Point of order: you know you're getting old when you're in not-insubstantial pain the next morning and all you did was stand in the sound booth and watch bands play. It's a wonder I didn't break…

Tuesday Open Thread...
Argh. I just got done reading the Underworld article in the new issue of Remix, and someone needs to clean house in their proofreading department (if they even have one.) That thing is so riddled with errors that, well…

The Doctor was a big hit...
The latest issue of Computer Music just showed up, and it has a review of Dr. Device that is almost embarrassing in its praise. In fact, we would be embarrassed but for the fact that we're generally brimming with…

Processing...
At the risk of getting in to Mr. Kirn's territory, I've been fooling about a bit with Processing lately, to mixed results. While I have a habit of normally avoiding the coffee cup like the blight that it is, the ease of…

My MonoMachine review...
Okay, after having this thing for a few days, I think I have a fairly good handle on it. Obviously, there are many "official" reviews available on the Intertubes, from SOS, FM, CM, and even the American magazines if you…

Let's Try This Again, Shall We?
Okay, since I was a bit taken off guard that several hundred people might be interested in seeing me test a workflow process, I felt obligated to make haste in putting something up with a bit of musical merit. I took…

Yout00bin'
As it turns out, my hypocrisy knows no limits. Neither, apparently, does my ability to generate zeros and ones. I've started what will no doubt be an incredibly tedious and self-aggrandizing process by creating a…

New Shit! (Open Thread)
The UPS man is gonna be loaded down today. I have all kinds of New Shit showing up today. A MonoMachine and a metric fuckton of cables and what-not from AH, a video camera and a new rack from Amazon, and probably 10…

Cage match!!!
Yes, it's true. I'm feeling a bit silly today. In that light, Cage vs. Cage. In the blue corner, weighing in at roughly 185 lbs, movie star Nick Cage. In the red corner, weighing in at an estimated "wet sock," John…
