Song #5

Posted by: bigstarlet on: February 14, 2008

As of tonight, I have five songs down for my RPM Challenge CD.  The going has been slower than I thought.  On the other hand, the limitations I’ve set myself r.e. the composing and recording process has been quite liberating, surprisingly enough.  Sure some of the songs may be borderline tacky, trashy, and the synths [...]

Ho-Sit-Down Moments, #4 (Coddling the Grannys Edition)

Posted by: bigstarlet on: February 12, 2008

Since I have very good friends of senior citizen status who read this blog, I had to go round and round and round about how to title this post. I figure that since I don’t refer to them as finger-wagging, proselytizing grandmas, as are these next three dumbasses at which I’m encouraging folks to [...]

Songs and other thoughts

I just finished mixing. “mastering” and uploading my latest RPM Challenge tune, and I’ll share it with you all in a bit.  But first, a few words about the Grammies last night.

I haven’t blogged about them as incessantly as I have in the past.  I guess it’s because they mean less and less to me [...]

Song #3

Posted by: bigstarlet on: February 8, 2008

I was home sick today.  Stayed in bed until about 2ish, then completed, yet, another song for that RPM Challenge:

It’s called Incident at Motel 6.  Composed completely on my Dell Axim 51 PDA and recorded on the Zoom H4. 
As it IS my song, and it’s kinda rough, here’s a download, [...]

Hot Chip = Hot Shit?

Here’s this week’s overblogged music heroes - some old ass looking dudes who are now the hottest thing on the blogosphere since Vampire Weekend:

Now I just noticed a couple of things in this vid:

The singer is sounding AWFULLY nervous. Dude, it’s just Jimmy Kimmel. Chill.
Is it just me, or are Godley and Creme [...]

Song #2

Posted by: bigstarlet on: February 8, 2008

I’ve been having stomach issues today.  They were bad enough for me to take my last two work day hours as sick leave.  I’m feeling a burning sensation crawl up my esophagus and into my throat.  I hope this doesn’t turn into anything worse.
Anyway, I took a two hour nap, cleaned house a bit, then [...]

New link on the side

One of my best friends Leah has been fighting for justice in the wake of the murder of her sister, Toby.  To document her struggles in that respect, and also to provide positive last rites for Toby, Leah has put up a site in her honor.
Leah normally is kinda squeamish about putting herself out there [...]
