Based on
Moonfl0wers discussion about favorite songs, I was wondering
“what else is out there?”. I’m always looking for interesting
new music to listen to, but can’t keep up with everything.
In particular, I dont know much of anything about electronica.

So, based on the my list. Tell me what you think I should be listening to. I’m
relatively well versed in prog rock, punk, metal, and fusion.
But always looking for something new. cdnow’s suggestions ran
out of useful ideas a long time ago, so here we go ;->

Picked up the Baamph! cd last night. Which made me
realize I’ve had the Japan Air demo for
over a week now and haven’t listed to it (aside from
skimming though it with the band standing over my shoulder going “what do you think? huh? huh?”. Hardly
the best way to absorb a cd ;->). Looks like they
are going to have a couple of songs produced by Phil from Trans Am. Very cool.

Found a fun new use/abuse of ebay. If you look at a
users feedback, you can also see what all items they
have bought. Almost as good as Deja News. Yay for lack of privacy!

bored, so I took the online meyers/brigg/jung/whatever
personality test.

I’m a INTP. Nothing new there, same result I’ve gotten
every time I take it. I have to wonder if I’m not
subconsciously gaming the test after the first time.

“A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves.”

I guess that explains how I earned the nickname “Dr. Doom” at work. Chuckle.

blinkenlights!

Looks like the Japan Air boys are going to be opening for Lake Trout at Ziggy’s in Feburary. Excelllent.

Recipe for Weird Noise:
Stack up three “modulated delays” all on different width/speed/time/regen settings,
all fairly extreme. Add distortion afterwards. And then a big delay. Mindlessly entertaining.

Is it nap time yet?

is deadjournal the livejournal equilivent
of advogato/Badvogato?

More e-bay goodies arived.

Decided to get out of town for the birthday weekend and go visit
the guys in Japan Air.
aka, good friends I’ve known since middle school. The rough mix
of their cd candidate sounds pretty good. No real surpise though,
we share pretty similar musical taste except they are actually
talented. Much listening to Ozric Tentacles, Material/Laswell,
and Antonio Carlos Jobim. For some reason that seemed to
be the musical theme of the weekend.

Anyone have some spare motivation. Christmas + Snow is making
it real hard to get back into the swing of accomplishing things. Not good
considering the deadlines approaching.

Wonder if I should actually put up a picture instead of the melting slime
image I so love. Or maybe a good Kurt Rambis pic.

It’s snowing. Alot.

Aside from that, not accomplishing alot of anything.

Been browsing harsh noise and circuit bending web
sites. I think I like it. Or I’ve lost my mind.
Possibly both. After tracking down some mp3’s, I
see why everyone points to Merzbow. Definitely seems
the most interesting bits of what I’ve found so far.
At least as far as that apparently strictly defined genre seems to go (reading some of the websites reminds me of Maximum Rock & Roll, where insane amount of time is wasted arguing who is/isnt in said genre…)

Looks like Lawrence Lessing is gonna be on charlie
rose tonight, might be interesting.
