I’ve hated the songs I’ve done on the SP404 so far… I think because I’m still getting the hang of when a track is “done”. (note: it never is, infinite remixing). Anyway, we got a theme of Instant Noodles and rather than make more garbage I’m too embarrassed to upload in ‘Garbage’, I decided to make my usual schlock punk rock. The lyrics are clean so it’s in under the Punk genre.

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.
