For Beatin'

New compilation entitled "Spigot of Evil." [Later note: I changed that to Spigot for Viva almost immediately, since so many people already have mistaken impressions about technology assisted music production.] This release follows in my lifelong tradition of using sinister names for my creative works. The music has nothing to do with evil, except that it's wicked beats. The title finally stopped making my friends laugh.

[Much Later: Okay, this may not happen. The upload has choked the satellite bandwidth on this connection, which apparently had a bandwidth limit. I'll describe it instead. I'll update if I can get it to upload.]

It's all sequencer work. It's easily high enough quality for pressing to 12" for DJ's, but it's all open source anyway. I've been licensing under non-commercial, but that's misleading. If any DJ's want to use anything for sets, and they can make money off of their sets, they are welcome to use anything I have ever created. I'm not granting permission for re-releasing the music commercially as stand alone tracks, but the idea of people making money off of it in sets doesn't bother me at all. If I can ever get it uploaded...

Incidentally, modern communism is a joke, and so was my Twitter avatar. If anybody can make money off of my work, any of it, it would make me happy. Many blessings. Just give me credit and share alike.

That City

The river city is a great place to live if you have money and no preconceptions. I said some things about my own personal experience there that reflected negatively on the whole place. It's really a lot better than the other places I have stayed, although the weather is horrible in the summer.

There are a lot of positive things about Baton Rouge. The plants and trees are gorgeous for most of the year, especially the spring. It's got a very mild winter. It's cheap. It's full of poor geniuses of all varieties. Seriously. The nation sees our bad statistics, so they miss the fact that we have a huge amount of intellect and talent in all walks of life there.

Yes, the city does apparently have a lot of cameras and observation planes (like every other major urban area) and lots of worthless information. Any one of those things sounds like a step in the wrong direction to me, and I feel that's massive. There's still hope the damage caused by the post 9/11 GOP strong arm political hijacking can be undone though. Not only that, the Red Stick is really typical of most American cities now (even more massive a problem) in watching the people, even if it's only passively as of yet.

Baton Rouge has good and bad things about it. My bad experiences are far from the norm there. I just thought I should be fair about it.

Also, LSU wins so often it's very degrading. Okay, it is funny. MUST TRY HARDER NOT TO CELEBRATE LSU WINS IN WRITING. MUST TRY HARDER NOT TO CELEBRATE LSU WINS IN WRITING. MUST TRY HARDER NOT TO CELEBRATE LSU WINS IN WRITING.

I do still have friends in the city. It was hard to find them. They're like rare, deep subterranean fish. "I was down in the Queen's Antechamber, 400 feet below the main cavern, when I decided to wriggle down one of the tight, unexplored passages. I hit water about 200 feet in. I found this little phosphorescent fish. It tried to bite me. Do you recognize him, everyone? We found our lost friend! It's Louis, the political office dodger!"
