I might kiss you on the back of your neck
Because it’s Christmas time
Really tired. They weren’t kidding when they told everyone we had 4 hours of sleep a day and ate cold food for most of it. I feel kinda stupid for bringing 5 basses to SSS and only actually using one, but it’s really [...]
The “new” rig seems to be working out pretty nicely. Kai GSE came up to us after our set yesterday and asked how I got that huge, round tone (low-pass filter, everybody… it’s all about the sensitivity knob) and Shi Nokia said some really nice things in general as well. Nokia’s definitely getting my coin [...]
If you read this, I need my pedal back asap!
The Ampeg Scrambler OD is calling my name.

I was looking at The Rapture’s MySpace and WHOAMG:
That shiny box on the top right is an Avalon U5! The finest Class A solid-state direct box money can buy. Mmm. Not very useful for gigs, but it should be [...]
This is what I’ve been up to for the past few days:
And some power supply rewiring that I’m surprised I didn’t shock myself to death with, considering I’ve got no background in engineering. At $1500 with the case, this had better be worth it… not to mention the $650 more I’ll be spending on the [...]
Okay, so more people read this than I thought. I just wonder when I’ll be outed as an indie fraud and stoned for listening to MSTRKRFT and Blank & Jones! Heehee.
I was at Peninsula the other day and I ended up buying 3 t-shirts (plain) and a new pair of Chucks (overdue). I’m still looking [...]
Rice and beans for the next 3 months…
The only single thing that’s more expensive than this in my rig is my Lakland. But what the heck — if I’m going to be serious about things, I may as well start now. Express mail had better be express.
This is depressing; I think I might actually have to settle for the industry standard as opposed to having something more unique. The Thunderfunk got sold to someone else, the Musicman head is on hold pending payment for someone else, and the only thing in relative abundance on eBay is the Ampeg SVT-3PRO. It’s not [...]
I’m feeling the after-effects of Jasper’s party — barbecued lamb steaks, chicken wings, lots of chocolate and a very nice pizza after that at Timbre. Sorethroat.com man, sorethroat.com.
Anyway. If you guys don’t know already, I’m selling my red Lakland to fund a Sadowsky. Pop me an SMS or give me a message on MSN if [...]
I will have you. It’s going to be pushing my budget (7% GST blah), but hopefully the jobs coming in and the fact that I’m 21 this year will convince the parents to subsidize this one some.
Can’t wait for Baybeats. We may have some surprises planned later in the August-October period, but nothing’s been confirmed [...]
Today I partnered my Fender with the Aguilar preamp and EBS Octabass and ran it straight into the GK amp. I think that’s pretty much all I need for The Fire Fight actually… will probably throw in the Barber LTD for some drive and the pedal tuner for convenience.
I’m a bit annoyed — we should [...]
Let your ego get to you and you get blinded by the glory that you aim for. Just because you’ve had your break does not grant you poetic license to act like a rockstar. Just because you know things does not give you the right to look down on others because I’m willing to bet [...]
