Slowing down... Must. Work. Harder.

I feel very guilty for a) posting on here with more regularity and more criminally b) not pulling my finger out and making some headway with this project. I've had a whole week off and achieved, well, nothing... nothing of any consequence anyway! 

Have been cruelly distracted by 'Fallout 3' on the PS3; I've suddenly become addicted to a game again, which spell badness for my musical endeavors. Bloody games! This is what happens when I've actually got time on my hands; slackness. It really is a fantastic game, though...

As it's a work week this week, there'll be no time for gaming; any 'free' time will be spent wisely. I've got a couple of band practices, but other than that, those precious few minutes that I will hold onto dearly will be spent chopping up breaks on the MPC, and (hopefully) learning a new piece of gear; a Korg Electribe EA-1 that I've picked up from eBay. It should augment the sampler/effects pedal setup nicely, and give me a bit more scope for melodic content past the cut up samples of guitar chords and electric piano licks.

Today, I bought some new CDs! I haven't been and bought any physical product for a very long time, so today was a refreshing experience. I picked up a copy of Amon Tobin's 'Bricolage', a Nightmares on Wax album, and the new one by Evil Nine called 'They Live!'. I'd not heard of them until today, but am glad that I did an impulse buy with their CD. It's belting! Quite driving, but still nicely melodious. Will get a proper in-depth listen over the next couple of days...

Well, I've got a couple of tasty breaks to chop - found a marvelous site for breakbeats - so I shall leave you in peace.

Adios, amigos!
