I’ve started using an SP-404MKII and, well, it’s an instrument. It’d be no different than me deciding to spend a few weeks learning the trumpet. So I’ve been putting the last couple of creations into “Garbage”.

I’m currently procrastinating on hanging a black sheet and punching a bunch (hundreds? thousands?) of holes in it to hang as a backdrop for some upcoming chromakey nonsense I have planned.

…and a Happy New Year! TCB added a short Christmas special to mark the holiday season:

The full version of Special K’s country rendition of “Egg Nog and Family” may be found on the Christmas page. I’m hoping to spend the next week working on a new skit featuring Hank, Steamer and the rest of the gang but we’ll see how long it actually takes to complete all of that.

They gave me a theme of ‘Route 66’ and I know it’s a tired cliched joke but i had two hours so, that’s what I could do. Not happy with the mix at all and because of time reasons I just plugged an sm58 into the interface and went to town. It’s over on the Spicy-Punk page as ‘rt666’.

In other news, I am working on a little short for a Christmas special. Let’s see if I can actually finish it by Christmas…

We had a theme of The Last Dandelion but I decided to up the ante by recording everything through the ukalele ukelele ukalale… the uke that Special K got me for Christmas. It’s over on the Experimental page though I want to put it in ‘garbage’.

Edit: I should also note that I’ve added Special K’s rendition of “All I Want for XXXmas” to the Christmas page.

I couldn’t be arsed to go dig through old garbage to put tracks in that section but this week I managed to completely churn milk into butt. Ostensibly vocaloid, I even feel guilty for associating Gumi and CyberDiva’s names with the track. Heck, I’m not even going to link to it here. If you’re that curious (and God bless you if you are) you can find it in the ‘Garbage’ genre.

In other news, I hope you guys are are having yourselves a merry little Christmas. I’ve got a party coming up and it will be the smaller version of the live band (The Incontinental Breakfast) doing some weirdness with guitars and drum machines and maybe a little karaoke.
