Truco just sent in this cool little cut/copy/paste remix of a song that inspired teen wood back in the day; no doubt.

Nothing was posted yesterday since 3443 was disassembled shampoo the carpet in preparation for a move, only move where? I haven't found a place that would make suitable creative/living space so my next residence will be more quite spaces. I miss live drums and band parties.

nothing to nobody

I like the bass line here, real pulsating and anxious.
Other than that, I don't know if I have much hope. I do know that Bradford is not returning my calls, even though Kristen sort of reached out to me this weekend while I was with my kids.

I can't help but still feeling like

VINEUZI is the random records of a father with a microphone in the living room while looping casio-tone. You could hear his daughter's wonder sing-song voice, the voice he used to hear everyday when he came home from work. He misses that sound oh so much. You could hear the father ask questions, trying to remain contemporary in their lives. He knows he will always be relevant, but that's not enough, he still wants to be a part of their daily lives. Occasionally you could here some static, as the iPhone is missing call after call, text after text, FaceBook updates and all; he's doesn't care, for these brief hours, he is at home, for these brief hours he has the family he made. The later third of the track is the musing of a 12 year old, fighter pilot sounds and and all, interesting especially since he discovered how to vocode on the micro-Korg not just any 12 year old, his 12 year old. His son. He is revolted to hear how his son went to see Saw V, being stripped away of his innocence, one Miller lite at a time; but then on these special weekends, the boy gets to swing on swings in beautiful parks, walk his dog in the city and catch frisbee's with his old man.

VINEUZI will be a collection of tracks made with that Dad and his first set of offspring.

This weekend was spent with my children, time very precious and special. The break up of my family was an event that I am still trying to recover from.

Nevertheless, life goes on, and I want more than anything, somehow, to be a positive icon in both of their lives. A place of refuge and strength. A rock to fall back on. I want to show them the way, the truth and the life.

Music plays a strong role in this.

triskit

triskit has a lot of anxious, sci-fi, apocalyptic, Paris in the 20's, NYC in the late 70's, energy to it. It's very hairdryer in the bathtub, without advocating that level of darkness.

Listen (not that you ever do - and yes I need to look into making these streams,iPhone friendly); life is meant to be lived, and when you spend more time trying to survive than live, the balance gets off.

I still believe in Jesus and have hope and faith in him; but it's very human to want to be self-reliant, and that's part of the problem.



Here you go, 16mb of inspiration, packaged neatly occasionally with secret messages; aka, you're free download of the morning; don't take this for granted. I don't know another artist so committed to putting out jam's.

FYI...

The first White Kross offering, still 24 hours fresh is a bit more palatable then the file they sent this morning... albeit, the new track sounds more 85 Lives-ish.

I'll have to turn it down, sushi is snoring.

Banisters

The lyrics and sentiment; there is almost a zen-like quality to this.

Nothing I can say or do is gonna make a change

Nothing I can say or do is gonna change the outcome

The results are defined and I cannot alter my fate

Only you can make the change

Only you can change my name

Only you have the power

Change me

Formula

Here's all 7 songs that comprise of Truco's Formula demo. I couldn't get him to add any commentary since he's always busy fighting crime but I can say there were others tracks but they will either never make it out of hisGarageBand or be part of OCt

and constantly waiting

What words could I put here to get you to listen to the music and yet I know you won't because you don't care about it as much as the music maker. I appreciate that and I understand that but a maker is always trying to get the creation to gain acknowledgment, more than himself; but it's all for not.

I'm sorta liking this track, the familiar sentimentality is there, and it's not so buried as in previous work. There's a bit more confident singing and less reliance of overdubbing vocals, less reliance on the weird, more honesty and emotion.
The ending makes this rated R.

I'm sitting in Inman Perk just to get a change of atmosphere; She's the one by Caribou is on. What a dreamy perfect song. I've got those in me and you can hear some of it here and there; of course that means you have to do more than just read the commentary and look at the funny pictures to know that.

The Coffee shop as a growing number of mid-day, mid-week attendance and the coffee is no longer self-serve; everyone is really intense and staring at the Mac's as if the magic job is going to come to them leaping right off the screen.

Now is the day where any income (legal and fully clothed, thank you) is a good one. Of course accepting certain jobs may cost loosing more than gaining.

New jams shortly.

whew..... I got lucky and I was able to make some mastering choices that I know your gonna love. This number sort of confirms my VU roots; albeit not Reed as much as Morrison (he ended up in LA).

You're gonna like sheLLLs... in fact, I have to make another label besides yo gusto to identify the stuff that's wax-worthy here.
Remember, this is all you and I, not alot of other people involved creatively; it's all you and I.

Here, without further ado, enjoy sheLLLs



But of course you can download it... (why do I feel like I've said that before?)... I wonder if these words all end up 23?

A Little bit more upbeat than this morning... hopefully the mastering will make it sound as good as it does thru GarageBand/iTunes via my Sennheiser HD280 pro's.

down'er dude

I know, I know, spend more time mastering, less creating... I just can't help it. Besides what do you care. At best your reading the commentary, not even getting the substance in this music.

I'll always remember you

Heaviness is in my heart this morning. The walls are closing in. I don't see a way out. The humiliation of falling further and further behind is unbearable. Since I believe in Christ, I cannot do the obvious which is self-terminate. I must find another way. I'm realizing its not here. It's in a distant land. It's across the ocean, with nothing but memories and few material possessions.
If there is a way for me to stay I will; but that may not be what God has planned for me. Read Jeremiah 29, He does occasionally send His people into exile.



Here, download; and may the peace of God that passes all understand you be with you.

.... KBC is my professional group association on LinkedIn; the blog link? Leads you right here of course.

I see the road and I know where it's taking me.

It's time for adventure, it's time for movement. I'd love to stay but that doesn't look possible without becoming a total burden and wearing out the few that are still present.
American materialism is killing me. My past is haunting me. I made this life. I performed the actions and made the choices that got me here.

No one can free me. God can only help me make better choices and open doors and provide favor but its quite unlikely that He will part seas for just one man, especially this man.

I love the Lord but I cannot expect anything from him that he is unwilling to provide.

I must man-up and own my current and make for myself a better future, and then invite a woman into a life with me.

Jail-house proposals and jail-house religion are useless. I only pray now I can do what I need to do without seeing a jail cell.

The kids already have a forced relationship with me; my leaving will make things easier for them as well.

I see the road and I know where it's taking me

Life is pretty mysterious and you never quite know what you get yourself into. Joanna and I met at El Bar August of 2007 when I was at my lowest; suffering thru involuntary separation from my wife and kids and all.

She's been something of a healing balm most of the time since then.

Didn't do KBC last night, I fell into depression, missing living with my children and being a part of their daily lives. I renounced my faith in Christ. I now regret that, I don't have much and without faith I have even less.

I take my iTunes Music Library.xml file very seriously; I have redundancy in several Fortune 5 database as well as a swiss bank account; my digital legacy is designed to survive thermonuclear holocaust and even eviction.

By the way Sabali (Produced by Damon Albarn) is one of the sweetest songs online currently. A week + strong and it's still on the top of my prius play list. It sounds south African and enchanting.
