Here's another recording of the same guitar.
This time is still iRiver style, but I brought it into a very nice
recording studio and used one of the booths to eliminate every
bit of noise I could.

Very sweet. I can't wait to get some time to do some real recording
of this thing. It really is the greatest sound I've ever heard out of
anyone's guitar.

The song I chose here is an original composition I made a very
long time ago to show off the lows of a guitar. Left hand style
is to literally use only one finger and slide a lot; which you'll
hear.

Right hand style is to just use thumb and middle finger. (P) and (M)
Low A string and Low E string are tuned traditional but used sort
of as drone notes, modulating back and forth between the two to
make it sound much more complex than it really is.

Enjoy.

Instrumental just to show off the new guitar.
Recorded with an iRiver's built-in condenser mic.
(I cannot wait to record this guitar in a real studio!)
Mixed down with tools.
If I remember right I just added reverb and hard limiting and that's it.

Just guitar,
just one track,
and just instrumental.

I mainly put it up to show off how absotively posilutely
heavenly this guitar sounds. It's handmade completely of bamboo
by a guy in the Phillipines named Jun Reputana.

Major labels try talking their artists OUT of penning
songs about newer technologies, suggesting they stick to
older standards such as the Phone and the Snailmail.
Here's a risk past that. A song about avatars.
Inspired by a friend of mine who wrote a song
that included cellphones.

Here's part 1 of Greg Palast's immediate response to the boom
being lowered on Eliot Spitzer this past week.

 Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 30

"Bright days and dark days were both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close to the Great Holiness."
--Chief Luther Standing Bear, SIOUX

The Great Spirit created a world of harmony, a world of justice, a world that is interconnected, a balanced world that has positive and negative, this way and that way, up and down, man and woman, boy and girl, honest and dishonest, responsible and irresponsible, day and night. In other words, He created a polarity system. Both sides are to be respected. Both sides of anything are sacred. We need to do good and we need to learn from our mistakes. We need to honor what takes place in the daytime and we need to honor what takes place in the nighttime. WE learn that we need to learn and we see what we are supposed to see by staying close to the Great Spirit. We need to be talking to Him all the time, saying "Grandfather, what is it you want me to learn?"

Great Spirit, let me learn today that all things are sacred. Help me stay close to You, my Creator.

This podcast was recorded using a 5G iRiver inside a recording booth, and the guitar was played as just a 70's Les Paul with no amp, faced toward the mic. Live performance of this song can be seen at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lPjIZcl_SUU<< MORE >>

Playing around with some new toys. An iRiver gives off a surprisingly good hot live recording.
Defaults to a 128 x 44 mp3 too. Nice! All I added to the live recording in popo (post production)
was some noise redux, reverb and a tiniest bit of pitch shift. Enjoy.

A man makes his living blowing up balloons for little kids at carnies and festivals. He refuses to make swords and guns so he ends up going out of business. Sad story. The end. Nope, no switch at the end where he finds out something really lucrative and happy or anything. I refuse to make a fake positive ending just to sell the story around. It ends like that. He's a complete failure. Perfect metaphor for the military industrial complex. If you don't like it, so what.

Bush, take a letter. You're taking "consultations" while people are dying. That's your fault. You're figuring out how you're going to get 20,000 to 40,000 more into Iraq next month or so. That's going to be your fault too. To take an expression I got from your dad's chain of command when he was leering over the top of me... during MY military days. Mr Bush, uh.... sucks to be you, man.
