uploading i did your mom to youtube

so, with the shift to using youtube in a staggered historical presentation, my entire calculus on the value of uploading this or that track has changed. i was initially wanting to use it to highlight specific tracks to send people to bandcamp with, but the reality is that the only traffic i'm getting to bandcamp is through youtube and the site hosts so much music that it's basically impossible to sort through. it makes more sense to put almost everything up at youtube, and hope somebody stumbles on the right link.

this is a demented track that half of me wants to forget and the other half realizes has value in being just off the wall creepy. i need to trigger warning for anybody that's dealt with any kind of abuse, and out of just general bad taste. but, there's this point where you just half to laugh, and i think i pulled it off.

there's a more detailed write-up if you click the link.

however, the primary reason i'm uploading it here is that i like the music. it's really noisy and cathartic. if i'm documenting myself, i can't skip over it.

this will pass over to the featured track tomorrow at midnight.

just to record this somewhere public...

the idea i've decided on is to literally stagger it by 17 years and eight months, with the bandcamp dates as reference. i'll explain by example.

the first song up is fire, which i'm guesstimating was completed on sept 1, 1996. the second is boogeyman, which i have down for oct 20, 1996. that's 51 days. fire will consequently stay at the front of the page for 51 days.

which means i should catch up to today in 17 years and eight months. :).

it also means that some tracks will be up front for very lengthy periods.

that table ($10) is a long time coming, but makes all the difference in the world in getting those synths off the floor and connected together.

i'd like to get another small table to give me a bit more foot space over on the other side where the small amp is. the idea would be to put the cases on top of the table, and some pedals underneath. the amplifier underneath the laptop is also being hoarded as a possible guitar amp system, but that depends on a lot of factors (the most important of which is if i ever end up playing anywhere). if that works itself out, that extra small table will also be useful. but if it doesn't, i can always take the cases out, too. that's going to depend on availability, mostly - and how much i feel i need the foot room.

for now, the studio is otherwise done to my need and liking. so, there's a few more shots...

(there's that table, set up with the gear on it, which 

     completes the loooooong process of finally reassembling 

a place where i can record safely and comfortably.

      i'm not letting go of it this time, either. no fucking way...)

that music stand came out totally blurred.

i spend most of my time sending guitar parts in,
either clean through the pod via usb or live into the mixer.

and that just completes the pseudo-panorama.
 that's where i'd want a tall, skinny coffee table type deal, maybe.
i've never bothered with boards, 'cause i'm constantly changing
things around, but the extra foot space is valuable.
