the new(s)
11 February 2007 | black history month, guitar, music | No Responses
Damn, two months deep and no entry. I am totally slackin as far as the blog is concerned. Anyway, on to the now…I have moved, I am moved in, and I am not quite settled. None the less, I like where I live and feel a need for creativity as the months press on. I will be giving the lab’s website an update soon, so stay tuned.
news one – I settled with the metal muff for a distortion pedal. I also settled on a new amplifier. I bought a fender roc pro for under $200 dollars. Ultimately, its a great sounding amp that truly can create anything from tight dust to mud-filled flow. I have no idea how else to describe it, so I gave it a whirl.
So, again, I now own I metal muff distortion pedal. I haven’t owned very many distortion pedals, but I must say, this one is pretty good to my ears. Yet, I don’t really play metal music, so it can be a little over the top for me at times. Actually way over the top sometimes. Regardless, It’s rather have too much that not enough.
news two – none more none more black – This doesn’t come as a shock to me because I heard the rumor a long time ago. I guess it just comes as a disappointment. I never got to see them in action. I got into them over the last year and a half which isn’t a lot of time to invest in a band but certainly enough to know how they make you feel. The upside that really has nothing to do this the none more black breakup is Strung Out (the best band on the planet) is in the studio recording new sounds.
News two dash a – I have not recorded any music yet. I have sharpened the two songs I write about and will record them soon. My ultimate goal is to create a band out of this whole thing. I have no official confirmation with anyone yet, but I think I have a drummer and guitar 2 on board. SO I guess this leaves a bass player that wants to be a part of the dopest side project ever.
news three – news years resolutions are going decent. I have managed to grow a beard, but my health kick has seen little action. I bought a jump rope and PLAN to use it. I am going to jump rope to the entire jungleland song. I figure I do this and the rest will come with less effort.
happy black history month
