Three albums getting airplay right now :-) Yeah it's been a busy period.
The EFLH/TCA combo is in heavy rotation on WBSD whilst KC Gold is picking up mucho airplay in the US Also! One show featured 6 tracks from it.
Woot.
Meanwhile...I greatly enjoyed the drive up to Katoomba and the show, but I have a Cold and I'm on some Chemists Own formulation and holy crap it's 2am.
We've got two shows tomorrow and my nasal passages are now clear and I'm buzzing like a bee. I'm fairly sure I shouldn't be operating Heavy Machinery right now but I kind of feel like doing just that.
Right in the middle of the set tonight the decongestant kicked in. Right when I was playing harp. It was not cool. Luckily Theo had a tissue, or it would have just been ghastly. On such a busy weekend this should happen? Argh.
Cheers to Doc and Lindsay for coming out. It's still winter in the mountains. Brisk!
That's it. I gotta go watch Ancient Aliens until this stuff wears off :-)
Tomorrow....err....today...we're at the Marrickville Festival and then Rubys, so long as I hold out.
D-Dawg suggests we run a Vinyl pressing of KC Gold.
I'm all for it, but I'm still a little contrarian...about many things I guess, but I've never really understood the Vinyl fascination
Now before I get email about it, you are not allowed to email me about 'How Awesome Vinyl Is' unless you have:
1. Worked with Magnetic, Analogue Tape, in a multi-track recording environment (Vinyl came from Master Tapes back in the day, 'member)
2. Then moved over to digital.
3. Remembered that I am not Disrespecting Vinyl. We're up for doing it, I am just conjecturing.
There IS a difference in sound quality, but it's a bit like vegemite.
Grow up with it, MMM Good.Otherwise...
As a band, we have worked on 2 track Nagra, 8 Track Obscura, 1 Inch and 2 inch Spacejunk, some of which is still in complete production mode today and cranking out Big Name Stuff.
But...if you haven't seen something like this:
then you might not truly get OMG how much easier Digital Land is.
Now Imma Say Stuff What Might Get Me In Trouble.
Analogue was superior to digital in capture bandwidth....up until a little while ago.
Solid State Drives and Massive Bandwidth means some of the new stuff is pretty much a generation beyond analogue.
At the same time, they talk about the ability of tape to 'glue' a song together.
'Nuff said. If we get enough folks who want it on Vinyl, I say let's do it, I'll be curious to hear how it comes out.
I'm sprucing up the ol' site, yeah I know, how hard core is that eh?
Page speed 90% on test, video module rebuilt, google calendar integration still flakey.
Mr Wizard has been complaining about page load times on the Gig Guide and Monte has been at me to optimise my CSS and Minify my...wtf does that even mean. No, don't tell me, please let it remain a mystery. No, seriously.
Professional web people have test sites. I just load crap and see what happens. Whoopee!
If anything stops working, the entire site disappears or everything changes, it's perfectly...AAAAAAAH
