Summer Recap/October Rocktober |
October 06, 2008 9:49am |
With all of the yard and indoor chores this summer, I had to take a few weeks off from fussing with my many websites; and then the next thing you know----It's been months, and you're scrambling to update and refresh a bunch of pages online.
Briefly, the summer harvests are all in, and now I need to get more done in prep. for my winter gardens.
I had a 47th birthday in September.
I've been recording and writing a huge amount of new music, mostly on the computer, but also doing a lot of live recording and sampling of real instruments for the assembly of my newest lp.
Did some DJ sets this summer, which I'd slowed way down on making. They are a handy way to stretch out and just go wild, and I often discover new song/project ideas while mixing odd elements together for DJ sets. The latest one: "Hillbilly Hardcore Stock Report" (I hate the title) is now available as a lovely 2-cd set, DJ-friendly and ready for broadcast, either online or on radio, as it was made for broadcast, it's timed and designed to be used on the air.
The many tropical storm systems that passed through here this late summer did some heinous damage while I was trying to dry and cure harvested plants---we had some outrageous humidity.
I'm still working the First Search inter-library borrowing system heavily, and have been getting some wild obscurities and goodies from far and wide. Recent scores: a big book about Eiji Tsuburaya, and DVDs as well, Addams Family season 1, Gozilla Raids Again (rare!), Cross Of Iron (Sam Peckinpah), as well as the full five-volume EC reprint series of "Tales From the Crypt", those have been out for 30 years, but I've never been able to afford the Russ Cochran reprint sets, I had never thought of just borrowing them from the library!
I just began to re-read Alan Moore's brilliant "From Hell" graphic novel. Have been looking forward for years to someday going back through this amazing and large work. Architecture, freemasonry, and murder fans should read this book----an impressive take on 'Jack the Ripper' lore.
As always---I'm looking for Portrait and Illustration work, as well as music work and production for clients.
Some new material is creeping out onto my MySpace pages for October (I always have holiday tracks) at
