up and running again


I have a class that requires me to keep a blog, so I figured if I'm doing it for school regularly I can do a better job here. We'll see. anyway, I've started recording again, my old computer died, but unlike previous occasions I backed up all the files. As you'll see I've become one of those "self-photographers", but not in an artistic way. Here I'm playing my recycling bin on a song called "the 10th line". It's a song for my Canadian-themed album called "canuck" (how original). The recycling bin does a pretty good job at replicating a group foot stomp. Its a song that doesn't have much in the way of instrumentation because it focuses on vocal harmonies. In case you didn't know, people in New York don't really recycle. In fact mayor Bloomberg ceased recycling here for 2 years in the early 2000s for economic reasons (so I'm told).
