extrapolation on returning

3 months and 5 days ago i stopped updating this blog. not because of a conscious choice i made to stop, this site isn't serious enough or widely read enough to even be able to call it "choosing to stop". enough to keep me entertained enough to not even worry about maintaining this site. plus i got twitter which i can use on my phone.

list of the things that i've been occupying myself with, talking about for the past few months

1. the phillies won the world fucking series
2. i voted for the black dude and he won
3. i got a promotion and an office at work
4. RIP david foster wallace
5. rowboat
6. www.youtube.com/mrchicity3

rowboat demo

hey, rowboat has an official recording, sorta

rowboat - the anniversary present demo is two poorly recorded covers that i recorded and am giving to my girlfriend on our 7 year anniversary. totally cheesy but i'm digging it.

A. oh la la (the small faces)
B. stockholm syndrome (yo la tengo)


only problem is i have no 4 minute each side tapes to record the demo on to (wonk wonk) so as soon as i order them i am going to put one in the box, as well as record 12-15 others for anyone that wants them, your packaging will all vary slightly from one another and you get to check out the horrible noises i make in my room when i'm alone



or you could check them out online

Rowboat

so yesterday i decided i was going to finally put to good use the 4-track di got me for christmas, that until now i had only had time to do some vocal tests which were basically just me singing classic rock songs over poorly played guitar. i decided that the first thing i would record would be myself covering "love athena" by the olivia tremor control, mostly because it was simple enough for me to figure out and write down the timing for in my notebook. so a lo-fi recording is what resulted and can be found here. i used all four tracks, track one i played the main chords cleanly out of a shitty practice amp which was then mic'ed with a shure sm58 mic that was lent to me. tracks three and four i recorded in stereo the background guitar parts distorted and on a delay. track four was the vocals which i added last. upon playback it was obvious that the guitar part on track 3 and 4 was much too loud, so i decided to erase it and rerecord it, however, since it was so loud it bled onto the other tracks, so when i erased it it was still there in the form that i decided sounded exactly how i wanted it too.

anyway, check it out, i'm pretty proud of myself for how it turned out even though its kinda bad

peace
