Madelyn dressing herself last night.
On the weekend I finally headed over to the Ableton website to download their free version of Live. It is a 30 day trial or something.
I do have some music projects I am working on right now, but I am hoping to steal a little time to learn it. Talking to Tyson last night, and the man said he had an old MIDI keyboard I could have/borrow. Fun. Its no Akai somethingorother shiny toy, but beggars can’t be choosers and it’ll let me get started.
I don’t know how to do any of this stuff… I just know what I want stuff to sound like. But I don’t know how to make the sounds. You dig? ugh, should have stayed in band as a youth.
Then a Eureka moment! learning to play instruments is for communists. Check out this video, a man has unleashed the power of Capitalism to give me instant results!

In other news of awesome, Polbot 4000 found me this website: iPodMeister.
Let me get this straight, I find somewhere in the neighbourhood of 600-1,200 CDs. Ship them to some guy and he sends me an iPad?
At first I thought… no way… but then you do the numbers. What does an iPad sell for? $500? really this guy is bulk buying my CDs for about .50 cents each.
Is that fair? They do sit in a combination of storage, Dave’s basement and in my closet doing me nothing. Maybe I can scrape together 1,200 and see if this dude is legit? Not gunna lie, I kinda want an iPad. It looks like fun. Or at the very least, I could get an iPhone…
Go with yourself.
