Chill

So, the last song didn't use any garageband loops. I've played with it before, actually. It's quite fun. You just play a part, make a new instrument, go back and play another part over top of that, etc etc until presto change-o, you've a song! Like magic!

You should try it. You DO have garageband right? You use a mac? Oh, a PC? Well, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

You can still listen to the song though.

Baby's Day Out

What? Another song? (And this one doesn't even have any Garageband loops in it...) I thought this was over.

Oh well, I guess not.

Ramshackle Day Parade

So, if anybody is reading this...
You probably aren't.
But if you are, then guess what. There is a blog for Ramshackle Day Parade. Just what the hell am I talking about, you ask? Glad you did...

Ramshackle Day Parade is a monthly gathering of offbeat music. The sort of stuff that people aren't sure how to categorize. Sometimes they just call it noise, but a lot of it really doesn't seem to fit what is generally described as such. Really, who gives a crap?

It's a relaxed community get together of chums mostly. With weird sounds thrown in the mix. And it's great.

Started way back in the year a couple ago in the month of I can't remember, it left us for a short while and was sorely missed. But, over the summer, it has returned. With a vengeance. It is now hosted every 22nd at Bohemia, and it's doing just fine. Just fine indeed. The open mic section even came back, which was really a favourite of mine.

There's also a BLOG going now, that I guess is going to feature album reviews and whatnot as well, so that's always good. Who knows? Maybe it will show Weird Canada a thing or two about being, you know, actually weird. Oh, I kid, I kid. I don't really read blogs anyhow, so what do I know?

Anyhow, blah blah blah, this is getting totally boring, I think. Just go over there already.

Ball Oni

Here's one that was sitting around. Besides this I can't say I know how much more will happen. A shame. The experiment never drew real breath, but I liked some of the things that came out of it anyhow. Hopefully it will stick around for future generations to peruse. I'll listen to it, in any event.

So, yeah... whatever.

Bios And Guests

Oh, right, and because I know I always forget about this blog and don't end up posting, here's another one I had sitting around from forever ago.

I don't know what it is all about.

Actually Rap

So I had this little beat to rap to, but then I was like "What the hell? Add more crap to it."
Then I did.

This is that crap.

Texas Chainsaws

I know, I know. Never posting in the blog. Boo hoo. For shame.
Well I don't make those garageband songs anymore, you know? I was working on real songs. Of course, even then sometimes those don't get finished. Sometimes the idea goes nowhere. Take this song, for example... I had these neat little banjo parts. The awesome opening from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I thought, yeah these fit. This is a good start for something. But then... ehhhh... I don't know where to take it. But, instead of just deleting it, I thought why not show the fine folks?

So here it is. The beginning of a song that will never be finished.


Don't ask me the deal with these players now, by the way. I just copy and past them. Something is funky with their code these days.
