Sadly, I've had to all but abandon this space due to the holiday rush. I'm most certainly not complaining that the Ties took off by leaps and bounds this season, but I feel terrible about not being able to properly document anything else that has gone on. Nearly four months of 18+ hour days is getting old for both mind and body. I fear my poor, feeble, addled brain will have no other means to recall any of November's and December's events. Although I'd like to permanently erase the lion's share of much of it, there were some momentous things, such as, like prolly, the best dinner I've ever had at Lever House in nyc - the most incredible food, interior - and we got the best seat in the house. We also were invited to perform at my favorite museum in the whole world, and we didn't screw up.
So as promised, some content that has nothing to do with ties. Check out dorkwave.com, Rob and Sneak have put together the 2006 Dorkwave Holiday Mixes - seven free, 45+ minute mixes for your downloading pleasure for a limited time only! Mixes from Jon Ozias, Nick Calingeart (aka Common Factor), Sneak, Mike Doyle, Lance Uppercutt, Team Stephlab (haha), and Your's Truly. There should be a few more posted by day's end as well.
I had a grand plan for mine, both overconceptualized and extremely narrative (and boy do I ever have nice things to say, ha). It was probably a stupid idea anyway, but I need to get it out of my system. (Art therapy is never fun to listen to or look at.) As luck would have it my four preparatory hours of dumping records and sample-editing went corruptof*ck, so all you get is a one-take slammed together live biz, complete with remnants of multitasking. About four-and-a-half minutes in, you get a gold star if you can tell what I shouldn't have been working on concurrently. Ugh.
I started off doing my master plan, but devolved into just playing my favorite stuff from the year, which is what usually happens anyway, as evinced by the **3** Heil tracks at the end. Predictable. Lolz. Music for Killing. Check out Mr. Doyle's music for slashing your wrists with broken victorian glass ornaments. No narrative wha?
