So I made a six song long mash up EP in a weekend earlier this year, and well, I got the itch again, so this time I made a six song mash up EP in 4 hours. I present, Ultraklystron – Redid The Mash:
Badongo – DepositFiles – MegaUpload – RapidShare – zShare
Of course, beyond the fun of me ruining songs from some of my favorite artists is that this has a sneak peak at Romance Language 2, with two songs from said upcoming album on this release in mash up for form. BTW, I have four out of 12 songs done for that record.

I am back from Victoria, BC after a lovely visit with Danielle. She showed me around the city, and I have to say to all my goth loli friends and my otaku friends – get up there and visit. Between the lovely tea rooms, old architecture and awesome china town, you must see that city when you get the chance. Anyways, she and I had a fantastic time. We saw GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan live, we went to a bunch of cute restaurants (all of which were quite economical,) we watched tons of anime (Ouran Host Club) and we walked all over the city! We even won trivia night at the hostel we were staying at, netting us free gift certificates for the hostel cafe and a local diner, and we also won at the Deal or No Deal arcade game at the first try, netting us cute folding fans. I am looking forward to future visits as well. Victoria’s a lovely city – pity UVic won’t take any of my BCC credits without way too much effort spent.
Next up, in the interest of maybe spurring some interest in my most recent commercial release, The Fourth Estate, I’ve decided to pull a Random and release a shareware, stripped down version of the same record, in this iteration called The Free Estate. It’s only 11 songs (vs. 19 on the actual record,) and it’s encoded in 128kbps mp3 for that late 90s piracy sound. Download it from one of the several links below before the links inevitable dead links happen:

Lastly, you may want to check out the song I’ve done for Nerdcore Rising’s Song Fight. I don’t really want to win (chance to see NYC aside,) but it’s a fun song you should totally check out. Lyrics are after the break.

The past few weeks since the last blog post have been nothing if not busy, and while I’ve certainly done my fair share of tweeting, for my own record keeping, I feel like doing a round up.
Well, I made my way back from Canada, missing Danielle the whole way and thinking I’d be camping the next day with my friends. Alas, I could’ve stayed the extra day, as we wouldn’t hit the road until monday, though the extra day did afford a trip up to Walmart for supplies (the camp stove fuel being especially importantly actually.)
Thus, on the last monday of August we punched on through to Port Twilight err Port Angeles (seriously, that town is absolutely pandering to the Twihard demo,) and on up to the Salt Creek Recreation Area. The area was gorgeous, and outside of an accidental 8-mile death hike, it was a blast of a time. Sure, it would’ve been nice to have remembered to bring my roll-up camping mattress, but after the hike, my back wasn’t what hurt – my legs just felt like someone took a wiffle-ball bat to them. It was fun boiling up soup and water for tea and ramen, cooking hot dogs over the camp fire was fun and really, it’s the first I’ve ever spent that kind of extended time with some of those friends. Lots of cool photos came out of that trip as well.
After a day off, it was PAX time, and well, 13 free shirts (two of which I gave away out of the gate, and another 5 or more will also eventually end up in friends hands if not charity,) scads of swag and 3 days later, and I have to say that it was pretty ok. I mean, I was absolutely ecstatic to see Rai perform with Front. It really should have happened last year at PAX though scheduling issues prevented that, but her performance this year just really shows how much better she’s become even over her existing skill level. We really gotta get that record done. Beefy also tore it up on “Nerdcore Rising” as expected. However, outside of the usual PAX fun (goofing around Pictochat, catching up with various acquaintances and friends,) it was pretty chill.
The past week? Marathoning and reviewing Gakuen Alice, going through the paperwork and law regarding dual citizenship and gathering up various phone numbers I’ll have to call in regards to getting back to school. Oh, and going to Endfest 18 and going a friend’s birthday party. Quite the nonstop month I’ve had once one factors in my trip to Canada.
Still, I’m not satisfied – I know I have more to get done.
