Hummingbird by Wilco
May 30, 2009Whistling Hummingbirds
May 30, 2009The Broad-Tail’s are back in town.
Sunny mornings now pecked with random whirling whistles of their frenetic flights.
It’s funny how the sound reminds me of the duece and a halfs I used to drive in the Army.
The IRS Rocks!
May 30, 2009Well, I screwed up the Capitol Loss Carryover.
The IRS fixed it and sent me a bigger refund than expected!
I officially dig the IRS.
It’s just this “taxation without representation” thing that’s been going on that bugs me. I wish it would be spent more wisely.

Electone Prodigy
May 5, 2009I’d wish I had a Yamaha Electone Stagea ELS-01X, but I’d have to wish for the coordination as well.
Sure, she makes a few mistakes, but she wasn’t even a teen when this was recorded. She’s got a few years to work it out.
Fun with Songsmith
May 4, 2009Are you the next great singer but just can’t get a composer or a band for your hit of the century?
All you need is a vocal track and you can plug it into Microsoft Soundsmith and it will provide accompaniment.
Some people have put the master’s to test, isolating the vocal track and plugging it in.
Here’s a few of my favorites.
What if Crazy Train was a polka?
How a bout a Samba We Will Rock You?
Roxanne was a little too somber, let’s give it some PEP!!
For the aging rockers, an easy listening country Ace of Spades.
It’s like these guys made this song with the remix in mind. When it goes horribly out of sync you realize the machine just cannot keep up.
Theocentric Propaganda
May 3, 2009I just recieved an email with a link to this video. WOW!! . . . just WOW!!
