Cool...that makes me feel important...
Well...I made a mistake of sorts....I bought one of these:
I didn't know what to expect when I bought it...
...I didn't know I bought the media equvalent of CRACK!
....mmmmm, crack...(visions of Tyrone Biggums..)
so...my nights after work, when not in rehearsal, is spent playing the afore mentioned Gamecube. So much so, that I bought Zelda on ebay....the ORIGINAL, for NES, released in '87...
old school, baby...
it even has Zelda II, and the two N64 Zelda games...
A PERFECT NIGHT OF LIQUID MEDIA CRACK...
...why I wonder why I don't have a girlfriend...should be fairly obvious by now. Except to me...and I wonder why I am repressed?
I SHOULD BE PRACTICING MY DRUMS...instead, I'm dreaming of Triforces, boomerangs, arrows, fairies, rupees...visions of beating Ganon dancing in my head...
I will control my addiction, I promise...
SUBJECT CHANGE________________________________________________
This was from a recording session we (the Vedas) did earlier this month. It went really well. I'm getting the hang of recording, and capturing it for the moment. I am always fascinated with drummers like Jack DeJohnette, who can play for the moment and what they play is ALWAYS right. It sounds to me that way, anyway.
The things is, I am real nitpicky. I did not record a take that was 100%. There was a bit of compromising I had to do on my part...but why? Is any musician 100%? Ever?
I had to get over myself...there was no real chance of me being satisfied with a take 100%
When I find a way to post the mp3s I will post them. When you listen to them, you'll probably think...that I was playing Gamecube too long. What could be wrong with my playing, you would probably ask? But we're all our own worst critics. I have to learn to be constructive...concerning my playing. It will take some time, and it won't be 100%, but then again...I would most likely stop playing if I was 100% all of the time...
so...there you go.
....looking at the picture, I could afford to skip a few meals...maybe eat a vegetable or two? It won't kill me...
......and life goes on and on and on.....
Okay, bye!
