New music, gear spiral

Since most of you don’t read these news bits, just read this part: NEW MUSIC HAS BEEN ADDED!! Please check it out, and let me know what you think. I worked long and hard on this one, and actually think it turned out nice.

Now, my rant time. It’s the end of a long weekend and I needed to update. On Thanksgiving, I attended my first house blessing. If I was to buy a used house, I’d get mine blessed, except I wouldn’t know who to get to do it. Speaking of spam, I recently got an email saying that all I had to do was pay like 50 bucks and I could be an ordained priest! Man, is it really that easy? 😉

Hmm, let’s check my random spam messages today… Hmm, seems like I’ve been offered a job to help some company collect child support payments. And I have another offer to increase my penis size by 1 to 3 inches by simply taking a pill. It seems like I don’t get nearly as much spam on Sundays for some reason. Ahh well.

So I’ve been spending the dough—does anyone want a DJ for a party? I’ve got almost all the equipment now. Why don’t you come see me and Mercy December 1, 2001 at Philly Bistro in Wake Forest?

You know, you’d think these cables are cheap, but once you realize you need like 10 cables for different things and each cable is like 20 bucks, it adds up real quick. Plus, my mixer has decided to add some effects of its own when it’s playing, and I have to have this mixer Saturday. I found a place in Raleigh that would service it (under warranty too), but I have no guarantee I’ll get it back before our gig. So… as I’ve gotten into the habit after learning the hard way, I like to have redundant everything—I bought another one 🙂 🙁

Money, money, money— I hope by doing these gigs I’ll at least be able to pay for my equipment, that’s all I want. I’m not looking to get rich, yet. Then I could give Steve back his amp and buy one of my own. If I ever do any real DJ’ing, I need a sub, and an amp for my sub and another for my main speakers. Plus, I need a van or truck or trailer or something or another. But I’ll make do for now.

So I needed to get a new CD player anyway because mine in my computer room has been skipping a lot recently. It’s sooo old. And I needed one for Mercy’s singing, so I found this nice one at Best Buy that is a 5 CD changer and does MP3s! How cool is that? I haven’t tested the MP3 part yet, but I should be able to burn a disc tonight for it. It even has digital out, and all for $120. Can’t beat that. Except the digital cables are $40 bucks EACH! That just broke my heart, seeing as I had to buy 2 of them. But now I’m set.

My wish list: wireless microphone, 2 nice Crown amps, subwoofer, crossover, equalizer, another CD player for mixing, and a van. Sigh…
