As far as my actual music is going. I'm a in a little bit of a funk at the moment. I can't quite make anything that sounds right, Hopefully the new tools will help with that. The Ocarina Of Time remix project is coming along. I've got the basics of each track constructed, and I need to refine them all and then compile them all into one big mix. Oh yah. I need to name it as well. I let my brother listen to a bunch of bits from it, and he didn't seem to hate it, so that's a good sign.
I haven't been recording much original stuff recently. The files for my new song got corrupted due to user error, so I pretty much have to scrap that song (it's ok though, it wasn't that great, I was already thinking about relegating to being a b-side). I think I'm going to start recording some new stuff this week though.
I still need to get that Kid Cudi remix out as well. Hopefully sometime in the next week or two. I kind of want to wait to work on it until I get my KP3. In other news...
Just bought a (kinda) new synthesizer. It's a casio CZ-3000. It's a beast. Found it used at Guitar Showcase for just over a 100 bucks. I also included a pic of all my synths in one area. I picked up a Korg KP3 off of eBay as well. That should be coming in the mail some time soon.
I got a ton of new music yesterday, and I thought I'd post what I'm listening to at the moment:
Titus Andronicus - The monitor
Starscream - Future And It Doesn't Work
Slugabed - Ultra Heat Treated EP
Minus The Bear - Omni
Holy Fuck - Latin
Four Year Strong - Enemy Of The World
Anamanaguchi - Dawn Metropolis
65daysofstatic - We Were Exploding Anyway
I've been working on this one off and on for a couple months. It took a long time to get this thing to point a where I really liked it. I was kind of just copying the crookers remix at first, but I think I came up with something original by the end. Not a whole lot to say about this one, just check it out.
I randomly stumbled across Slugabed. I was browsing myspace and saw him on somebody else's top 8 (or whatever it's called nowadays). He's part of a genre which I believe is called post-dub-step. His music is head scratching to say the least. He creates vastly unique sounds that are always interesting sounding. The thing that is really strange about him is what I heard elsewhere described as his off kilter beats. All of his music doesn't neccesarily seem like it's in time with all the other elements. When you listen to the song Quantum Leap it doesn't seem like all the elements are really moving at the same tempo, but it all somehow works. Sometimes I can't tell if Slugabed knows nothing about music, or he's a music genius.

I've been really digging the new Four Year Strong album, and the more I listened to it the more I realized that there was a ton of stuff to sample from it. I decided it'd be great for a mash-up, it took me a long time to come up with mixing it with Ratatat, but I think the result turned out pretty good.
