I should make an album or atleast an EP this way….

My local Apple Store has amongst other things:

-A very, very high speed internet connection with no filtering whatsoever, or rather no filtering that I care about.
-A duel-Zeon tower loaded with GarageBand, a USB Midi Keyboard, and said tower is hooked into the aforementioned internet.

Thus, I decided to write a song, and with prodding from my friend Misu, I uploaded it to the net. I did this on thursday. Maybe I’ll keep doing so over time. I figure if I stop by there once a week (easy to do since I’m down in Bellevue anyway every Friday to hang out at Anime Kingdom,) I should be able to make an album or two before the year is up 😉

PS: I did a very mediocre set at the Shark Club. Everyone else delivered like Domino’s on a dozen bottles of Bawls though, so on the whole it was a good evening, and I made some good friends in the nerdcore scene I think/hope. The documentar(ies) should be very interesting though, and both will feature at some decent mc work from me. Just not from the live show, or atleast as much as I would have liked to deliver. Oh well, atleast I have my high-concept Apple Store album 😀

PSS: I did other stuff like hang out in the international district with Feather (the Haruko cosplayer who I turned on to nerdcore back at SakuraCon and who I ran into again at The Pillows show a while back.) She is officially the first person who isn’t me to hear the current revision (no pun intended) of Opensource Lyricist. That was fun. Also, PAX, what little of it I could enjoy between the documentary filming and waiting in line, was a blast. I just wish I could have played some more video games. Atleast I was able to attend some of the panels and both of the concerts though. Also, I beat Monzy at Halo while sitting in the back of a tricked out Scion xB. This would be a 1337 achievement except that he’s interning at Google NYC, so he’s still way 1337er than myself, and he’s generally a really super nice guy as is everyone else I’ve met so far in the nerdcore scene. There is hope 🙂

Addendum: Not so much album as an on-going project that will likely be beyond silly. I mean revolutionary… not really.

• Silly, forgetful Karl, that was my idea to place the music all upons the intarwebs, not Misu’s.

  Or at least, it probaly was. Radiation from the Apples could very well have shorted out my PC-centric brain again.

• Ah, but even if it was your idea, I could not have done it had Misu not reminded me about webftp.

  Side Note: The mix sounds pretty horrible on my studio headphones. I’ll see if I can fix it or atleast punch it up a bit in Audacity or something.

• Girl in my bedroom? Caught on film? It’s boring than you think.

  /What would your boyfriend think if they found out about your American not-actually-a-boyfriend?
