Buying a new AKG microphone today...

Today I'm going to get one more microphone at Easy Music. I've been happy with the AKG that I bought last week, or was it a couple of weeks ago? Anyway, I've been happy with how this 59 dollar microphone records (it comes with a free 15 ft cable, and a mic stand clip). I hope it's still on sale...

I want to start doing stuff like this... whatever you can get out of the computer and into a speaker.

I wonder what kind of reaction we'd get if we started playing electro dance music? I'm really thinking about it. I want to keep LINUS, as LINUS, but I really want to start doing dance music. What'd you think?

We have most of the equipment to start making this stuff, I think I just can't motivate myself enough, to start making this kind of music because I can't really see the four of us playing live. Still listening to Erland Oye's Every Party while I quietly plan an attack. Been listening to what's been created so far for our second CD and I really like it. There's still a lot of work to do, and I'm dreading the work, but I have the time to do it right now so I should just suck it up. Wasn't that Polysics song good? I'm still humming it in my head. New song, "Group Theory."

And now for a video from Polysics, a japanese no-wave band. I want those glasses...

Another gem from chris' blog. This band is called Polysics. When we first started playing music, a few people told me that we sounded(or looked) like this band. I think it's the fact that they use a Nord Lead. Anyway, here's another video from Polysics. Now if I could only find that Hana Suka No Dance Party video...

Next Door was packed last night

Last night I went to Next Door and saw VAX, Ecto Gamut, and My Ex is Dead. VAX sounded good and put on a tight set. Ecto Gamut was even tighter, and My Ex is Dead, apart from sounded tight, put on a great show. That fish-head was genius. Overall, it was a very cool show. I really need to start taking a camera to these shows. Seriously, the fish head was genius.

In LINUS news, I'm busy working on the new website, we have a band meeting sometime this weekend, and we'll be recording guitar parts next week.

That's all for now,
David

I can't stop listening to this song!

My friend chris blogged his list of the best music videos of 2006. I've watched only a handful of them but this one by Peter, Bjorn, and John is by far the best. I can't keep myself from hitting the play button again and again after it finishes. The video's cool too.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I posted that image last christmas and it still seems appropriate. This year my brother built a Festivus pole. It's standing next to the christmas tree, which by comparison seems garish. I'm starting to see the appeal of a minimalist pole. Next up, the Airing of Grievances. Well Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night...

Okay, now it's working.... it's christmas eve. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

Ok, so we're starting the move to our next website. It might take a while to move all of the LINUS user accounts to the new website but we'll get it done sometime in 2007, just joking, no, really, it might take a really long time... email me if you have any questions about the move. david@linustheband.com
