The Weekend, in Bulleted List Form

'Cause I love the bulleted lists:

Fezfest '08 was phenomenal, and I loved being able to play to venues within the space of an hour.
I missed having the computer with me for the Playboy Psychonauts show, but I thought I covered ably with the other effects I used.
I'm a wiz at hanging light fixtures.
At the same time, I'm the world's worst house painter.
I get unreasonably excited about "Law and Order" marathons on TNT.
It's more difficult than I suspected to find the works of King's X, Dio, and Esperanza Spaulding.
New Metalocalypse? Awesome.

More about the effects - I usually use Reason on the computer to run some loops and provide bass synth patches on a couple of songs. For "Tomorrow Never Knows," having a swirling synth patch really augments the droning of the sitar, and on "Mathar" I use a really fat synth 'cause I love really fat synth and the loop is running anyway. I covered "TNK" with an overdrive setting on the SansAmp to really sustain the sound, and I put the Q-Tron on for "Mathar." I don't want to do it every time, but it worked in a pinch when I didn't have enough time to set up the computer.

Spaulding’s record is on iTunes. As for Faith, Hope and Love I think that one may be harder to find.

The comments about the sound quality of the King’s X album scared me away from iTunes for these purchases – I just went ahead and special-ordered them through a local music store.

Good to hear from you, sir!

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream!

In the past few months, the #lnjf show had Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello & Victor Wooten sit in w/the Roots. I'm happy. Just sayin'. 19 hours ago

Musicians can now buy seats for instruments, guaranteeing safe travels, elbow room, and maybe an extra bag of peanuts. http://t.co/iaM64uoG 2 days ago
I own amps I love to use, but I also love not moving them & using a perfectly good rig elsewhere. Glad I know folks who make it happen. :) 2 days ago
