School
My mother didn’t let me go to school today, not exactly a good thing. There wasn’t a reason, how am I to explain this?
Auto-Tune: Why Pop Music Sounds Perfect →
cubicle17:
In a medium in which mediocre singing has never been a bar to entry, a lot of pop vocals suddenly sound great. Better than great: note- and pitch-perfect, as if there’s been an unspoken tightening of standards at record labels or an evolutionary leap in the development of vocal cords.
While it can be used to great effect (see “Woods” on Bon Iver’s Blood Bank EP), I think Auto-Tune...

Recession: It's hitting the web aswell
It breaks my heart when I see my mother get a letter from our realtor saying that our house is about to be taken away for the fifth time. We don’t pay any car bills, we don’t have a home phone number. The only payments we have are our house, insurance, and tv/internet. We actually got our cable cut off the other week, so we had to call to get that put back. We’re always in danger...
Dear Nickelodeon,
Hi, maybe you don’t remember me, but I’ve actually written to you before. Yes, when I was about seven, I wrote you guys an e-mail and got an auto reply a week later, so maybe this’ll never reach you aswell. Anyway…
I used to like your tween shows, they were original and pretty realistic, nowadays though, they’re about kids who have everything in the world...
I'm so tired
Spend most of the day in class, helping with the patch bay testing, was pretty boring. At least that part went by fast. I absolutely dislike using ProTools for five hours straight, especially on tracks that I wouldn’t bother with. I’d rather work with dance tracks.
Speaking of dance tracks, I really, really like The Prodigy’s new one, Omen, it’s amazing! That would be a...
Wasted my evening
Well, I wasted my evening by going to sleep at around 6:30, I’m very annoyed. I have the radio to listen to, but I’m probably not going to get much more z’s. Here’s to more weird dreams occurring tonight, should be interesting…
Junk Mail
Like I said earlier, I’ve been doing offers to get a bit of cash. Well, today I got this package of stuff that supposedly makes you read and remember better. Not too fond of that aspect, but I got a free dictionary out of it, so who really cares?! There’s a couple of books I might read later this weekend aswell.
Customer Support is golden
I just got off of a phone call to this one place I signed up so I could get some money from someone wanting me to complete offers. It was hilarious because I put on this quiet voice like, “If you don’t cancel my account, I’m going to sue you.” The great news is that t only took two minutes to get my account sorted. Will be ripping up my debit card and ordering a new one in...
Do you remember the first time?
Well, for once I’m awake and I haven’t been spending all night working on some project. I feel pretty healthy and relaxed. That’s a big change! Not sure what I’m going to spend my day doing, but I know I’ll be very productive.
Dream #1
I’ve been having a lot of weird dreams lately, I’m going to start documenting them so I can keep track of my pattern. They don’t occur on a daily basis by the way, but I’ll post them as soon as I wake up via my iPhone. Here’s the one I had yesterday at 2:30 AM:
Chris Moyles had Paul Weller playing guitar in a little park (outside broadcast), debuting a song he just...
The first eventful day of the year
I thought it was going to be another mundane class to be honest. Although that was proven wrong when we got inside and started discussing our outside projects. I ended up being put together with a good group that has everything under control. I’m just going to have to talk to my parents about getting me there at 6 in the evening on a Friday to help them record.
Today we did a session, a guy...
