Happy New Year

without comments

Hey all! 2012! Long time no chat. Actually, a bunch of new stuff is coming up on the horizon, as well as – A NEW WEBSITE?? – so I promise I’ll be back on this inexcusable excuse for a blog soon enough.

Well. Since we last spoke, my music hard drive had just failed, and I quickly rushed to a data recovery place in Irvine to see what magic they could do. What I thought would take two-ish weeks actually took them about a month and some, the whole time my hope of recovering my files dwindling with each passing day. Their final assessment was delivered to me last week: 34% of the drive was able to be recovered, no guarantee on about 6% of that 34%, and definitely all over the place – most likely bits and fragments of albums. It would have cost me something upwards of 2 g’s, so no thanks. However! I found out a friend of mine had backed up almost my whole drive to his some time in 2008, so thankfully I don’t have to start from scratch. Anything I acquired between then and now I’ll simply (ha! simply!) have to scour again and redownload. Ahem, purchase. However However! Anything that I made-mixes or blends-between then and now and is not on the site is definitely long gone. I had a few blends that I’d made and never put up, and now they’re floating somewhere in corrupt hard drive heaven. C’est la mort.

Tour

with 3 comments

So last week I was on tour with mr Donald Glover for four days. Memphis, Nashville, Athens, Orlando. It was pretty fun! I gave out a lot of stickers to people that were giving me props at the end of the night, I hope everyone was able to snag one. I am planning on making a mini mix of the set I played out but due to some FUCKED UP SHIT TODAY my music hard drive is dying and/or dead. I’m going to see what my data recovery options are tomorrow, but if it’s all gone I’m probably going to go home and cry in a corner for hours. (the collection was deep, man.. i have/had files on that drive from like 98!)

Summer Vacation

with one comment

Back from my trip, with lots of film to develop and things to talk about. In keeping with usual wanderlust tendencies, I spent the majority of August out of the country: specifically Japan, a quick daytrip in Bangkok, and then Cambodia. What I brought: three cameras, probably thirty+ rolls of film (acquired some film as well), a week’s worth of clothes, a trusty pair of black vans, and the lappie for interaction. What I brought back: pasalubong(standard), mosquito bites(also standard), leftover currency(also also standard), and memories(also corny).

Languor

No summer is complete without a mix by yours truly. I’ve tried my hardest to abide by my ‘no repeat tracks ever’ rule for all my mixes, but after doing so many it gets a bit difficult. So far, summer has been a whole lot of working – aka indoors, which has not been so desirable, but I figure my summer will be starting next month anyhow with my travel plans. Enjoy, and make sure you got some carne asada on the grill.
