December 5th, 2008 — excitement, mp3, music, video games
long time no post. yes, my internet presence has been slightly neglected. apologies. but i have much to report. recording! recording! recording! after the string of gigs last october, i’ve a veritable bounty of tunes and beats and, at this point in time, i am committing them to binary. you could almost say i’m recording an album. and i even know what’s it’s going to be called… but i’m not telling. although recording at the mighty ja’s studio conctrete looked like this…
we recorded some drum samples two floors down in a big empty concrete room. the mic leads made their way down via the window and the side of the building but unfortunately we couldn’t get a headphone send down there. solution: a coke bottle + a piece of string. communique inside bottle. bottle out the window. genius! headphones are over rated i say. i was going to make a movie of this but hit a wall when i discovered how unbelievably crap imovie is… *about an hour later*… bah! combination of after effects screwing up and imovie not letting me pick my freaking export format. laaaaame! ok. never mind. hey, here’s an mp3 of a new song! it’s me in front of my computer playing ukulele and singing the morning after the last octoberlaide gig. anyone who came to that gig (rhino room) - this is that song i forgot all the words too.
ok, so what else? well i’ve sort of officially release my ep. it’s release has been up in the air for almost a year due to a series of minor disasters and roadblocks in the shapes of people. so i’ve taken a page out of the book of punk and i’m going DIY.
speaking of DIY (a segway worthy of radio!) i’ve been knee deep in drums and DIY midi triggers thanks in part to the truly wonderful guitar hero four. this game is really teaching me to drum. it’s the future of music education - or any skills training - i tells ya. my current project is converting the wireless usb drum kit into a fully functional midi drum kit. all of that equals a wireless, usb, midi drum kit. which is pretty neat. that will be the next post. right now, i’m off to drum.
bob out.

the last show of octoberlaide is upon us. friday the 31st @ rhino room w/ twilight bazaar. doors at 10 and it’s halloween so… i don’t know… you can dress up or something. poster!
the last show (@ the jade monkey w/ we grow up and the warsaw flowers) was a cracker… or, as the english say, a biscuit. there’s a review by adelaides premier diss-dishing, camera-wielding, blog-posting psychonaut spoz at spoz’s rant. and photo’s such as this one… 
this firday’s gig (w/ twilight bazaar @ rhino room, 10PM) will probably be the last for sometime. with one song written per show i’ve now a bag of tunes to commit to tape and a hunkering down must be done. i will see you on the other side… and this friday! bobobob.
October 14th, 2008 — advertising, excitement, gigs, music, the intertron, video
hi to anyone i met a ‘this is not art’ and is, by the slightest chance, reading this. wow. fun. in other news… did anyone know channel ten was busted for subliminal advertising during the arias? and now, due to a very sus verdict, it seems a flash of 2 frames is considered subliminal while a flash of 3 frames is veritably liminal. media watch has the details. video.
my tour of octoberlaide is tearing through time and space… limited to october and adelaide respectively. posters!
come check out the new tunes. bob.

so i’ve booked an impossible number of gigs just as i was set to hide away and record. hmmm. solution: to write and perform 1 new song at each show. here they are:
wow. cut and paste has come along way since highschool plagerization and i don’t even know who to thank for it. anonymous programmer, my gratitude knows no horizon.

things upcoming…artgroupie!
a collage of mine, “Space Katts: Attakk Formation!!”, is up for sale so if you’re so inclined you can buy some zeal that you can hang on your wall. ofcourse you can always buy a cd and hang that on your wall. but this is bigger. and it’s made out of lots of bits and pieces from the faux pas clip that’s still a secret.
also still running is the portable film festival where my clip “salt” is votable. It’s big and shiny… as compared to youtube which is small and grimy.
some gigs are approaching. new tunes and *visuals*.
Sat Oct 18 w/ BrotherSister @ Ed Castle
Fri Oct 31 w/ Bird Lantern @ Rhino Room
Fri Nov 14 w/ We Grow Up and Radio Spectacular @ POPSICLE
i’ll put flyers up as they come into existenz.
