The recording was made on February 8, 2004. I haven't watched the whole thing yet. Hope I say nothing too foolish... I think I did throw some gang signs towards the end... Maybe they made my signs foggy like they do on MTV with gang signs and naughty T-shirts... Come to think of it, I might have worn a naughty T-shirt that day...Hope this becomes available as I would love to buy some DVDs for friends. You might...http://integralnaked.org/live/life_art.aspx My Bus Café- July 28, 2004 It is a Capresso 1000, which I have had for 3 or 4 years. The machine is very reliable and makes excellent coffee.http://radio.weblogs.com/0120756/2004/07/28.html#a2401 More tour dates- July 27, 2004 Sep 09 St. Louis MO - Pageant Sep 10 Chicago IL - Park West Sep 11 Milwaukee WI - Festival Sep 16 Boston MA - Scullers Sep 17 York PA - Strand PAC Sep 19 Annapolis MD - Ramshead Sep 22 Wilmington DE - Opera House Sep 23 Alexandria VA - Birchmere Sep 25 New York NY - BB King's Sep 26 New York NY - BB King's Sep 27 off Sep 30 Orlando FL - Universal Oct 02 Pompano Beach, FL - Pompano Beach Amphitheatermore are in the works....http://radio.weblogs.com/0120756/2004/07/27.html#a2400 La Semana- July 27, 2004 If you go to amazon.com and search for "La Semana", you will find a page that has no photo or review yet, but announces that the album will be available on August 24th. And here is a link to the Tower Records page.http://radio.weblogs.com/0120756/2004/07/27.html#a2399 Studio Report- July 26, 2004 In the weeks since the tour ended I have upgraded the studio computer to OS 10.3.4 and ProTools 6.4. The new ProTools software adds some nice features and is worth the upgrade. The Guitar Rig software was used on a song for the first time this week-end and I am happy with the result. Very cool.It's going to take some time to wade through the live recordings from the Triple Door in Seattle. Four shows are a lot to listen to.http://radio.weblogs.com/0120756/2004/07/26.html#a2398 My Gear Guy- July 26, 2004 Lately I have been shopping for music gear at the above site. Great prices and great service. If you decide to sign up, remember to put the name Eric Nolan in the field that says: Where did you hear about us He is my contact there and a great guy. Here is a link to Eric's personal site with 4 free music downloads.http://www.mygearguy.com/ Kenji Williams- July 26, 2004 “I developed this technique of wiring my violin through the audio interface into Logic, and then using Logic’s live SFX plug-in on my violin to sort of beat-synch it into the music I composed. It works really well, and makes my violin into a whole different instrument. I could get really detailed effects and play with the rhythm of the delays with the music. It’s so liberating.”Check out Kenji at the Apple Pro sitehttp://www.apple.com/pro/music/williams/ |
