Looking For Creative Keyboardist/Synth Player

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Looking for a keyboardist who has the ability to create his own parts for our songs. Bonus points if you can songwrite/compose as well. More bonus points if you have a good understanding of music theory (and can teach me some of it, heh).

We are a new band (though in some senses a reincarnation of a previous band of mine) and our goal is to practice 1-2 times a week for a long time, then release an album and tour regularly, playing our original songs (and maybe a few covers here and there, but our goal isn’t to be a party band).

I have a good set of synth gear (including a Roland AX-7 keytar, a Korg MS-2000, a Yamaha DX-200, a Kaoss Pad and more..) that will be available for your use as a member of our band.

Our sound shall be full of texture and flavor, sometimes quite harsh. Not silly little synth tricks of our time that sound dated as soon as their recorded. Some influences (don’t worry if you haven’t heard of very many of these as long as you do have broad influences…): Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Brian Eno, Pixies, Christian Death, NON (Boyd Rice), Tangerine Dream, NIN, Joy Division, New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Leather Strip, Laibach, Boards of Canada, …

Creativity is more important than skill, but you need to have some skill, heh. Our music is highly electronic, so you will be the star in some sense and will make or break our sound. Up for the task? E-mail me or leave a message at 760-912-1856 if I don’t answer.

昨日の夜の夢

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

おかしい夢を見ましたk。

僕がカリコゴーストタウンと言うところで優しい一家に付き合いました。その家族は僕が好きになりました。たくさんたくさん話しました。両親も、お兄さんと妹がいました。その家族が「好きだから、娘とデートしてね」って言いました。確かに可愛かったけど、その娘が14歳ぐらいでした!だから、僕が「だめだよ。そんな若い子とデートできないよ」って言って、娘ちゃんがすぐ怒りました!息子も両親もちょっとだけ怒って、仲間はずれました。けっきょく、また息子と話すようになったけど、娘から「あんた嫌い!!」とかのメールばかりもらいました。おかしいことは息子はDemon Huntersと言う最低だおかしいなBムービーからのキャラクターにそっくりでした。

Q: Does a Guy Ever Get Over a Girl?

Monday, April 14th, 2008

A: No. Does the entire mass of uranium ever decay away? Not in your lifetime. Be satisfied with mostly gone, for entirely gone is a fantasy, like “world peace” or “zero unemployment.”

Though the requiem blares away for but a few weeks, an arcane whisper remains until his last days. If he ever had silence, he would hear his own circulatory system as loud as church organs!

Standing passenger on bicycles

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

(please see previous post and this page, where a guy presents a scary urban legend about lopping toes off as if it were a first hand account)

What I saw was simply them using a type of footpeg (ハブステップ) not found in America. They have better traction and are often even called second-rider hub step (they are all called hub steps). Even though they tell people not to use them for standing on, they’re clearly designed to make standing as easy as possible (though this of course relates to their use in stunts as well) and refer to them as steps for two-person riding. It’s like how you can buy ferret accessories or paraphernalia for pot.

Good news:

I’m talking to a guy who made something that would make having a standing passenger safe and (probably) legal. Stay tuned…

日本人、教えて!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

日本に居た時、自転車を乗っているカープルを見た。女の子は後ろに立っていた。めっちゃ可愛かった!俺は自分の自転車もそれが出来るようにしたい!

この写真みたいだった。。。

ペッグでしょ?安全かな?ほしいよ。日本に、アクセサリーを買える?どこ?

New Year’s Resolutions

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Simple. Just 3. And if I don’t make all 3 of these, y’all can flog me. Serious :)

  1. Live in either Santa Barbara, San Luis, Ventura or Kobe.
  2. Have a steady stream of good income (actual amount/month held private, but it’s high, oh yeah)
  3. Have a successful relationship with a human female.. that lasts through next New Years and beyond! If she’s a geek like me, that is a plus, but certainly not a requirement! Geekiness has a male-female gender disparity of at least 4:1.

新年約束

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

英語のバージョンがもうすぐ。

1。お金持ちになる。俺もちろん出来る。ちゃんと1月にいくらかは秘密だよ。人生の目的はお金じゃなくて、人類のためにいい事をする。有名な発明家になりたい。けど、まずお金持ちになる。へへへ

2。優しいガールフレンドを見つける。前のEと言う彼女が意地悪で、遠すぎた!小さくて可愛いタイプが好き。黒髪が好き。日本人とか韓国人の女の子がめっちゃ可愛い!けど、もちろんどの人種でもいい。メキシコ人女と白人女も時々可愛い。ハーフもいい。一番大切の事は可愛さじゃなくて、キャラクターだ。一緒にがんばる女。自分の気持ちを隠れない女。頭がいい女。

3。 いい海の近くの所で住む。サンルイかサンタバーバラがいい!

これは来年の目的。
