Don’t know this band from Adam, but I love this venue. I wish all bands posted video of their basement jams.
Sweet, I’ll just get a different phone for now.
Carter, Adam and I jammed last weekend.
I picked up a used TonePort KB37 and am learning Ableton Live (albeit an older Lite version that came with the TonePort). My condenser mic has a bipolar setting which I used on track3, but I had to crank the gain, giving me tons of noise. I ended up editing the tracks down with Audacity; it’s open source, useful and stable. For informal recording like this, recording straight into Audacity is probably easier.
I’m trying out Amazon S3 for hosting these files. S3Fox, a Firefox plugin for managing S3 storage, made it easy to post the files.
Are conservatism and democracy incompatible? It’s hard to say; I may have been programmed by a conservative think tank. A great read nonetheless.
I was both fascinated and terrified by this episode of Frontline. It chronicles Brooksley Born, the head of the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission during the Clinton administration, and her attempt to regulate the dark world of derivative trading on Wall Street.
