tastes etc
After reading this comment (from this page): "Dungen were great 60's fun when playing their "proper" songs, but again jumped into too many instrumental jams with flute solos and the like. They need another album of actual tunes to round out their set, IMO."
Funny how different tastes can be.. When I've seen Dungen live, I liked the album songs fine, but the instrumental freakout jams with flutes and everything were JUST INSANELY GOOD. They would stop playing at the end, and I'd want more. MORE!
In other news, I did some more flights of my R/C plane, and recorded this video.
I can feel the novelty wearing off (of the video aspect), I wonder how long
until I am flying and not videotaping it... Oh yeah, here's my self portrait...
Let's see, what else? I fixed the sustain pedal on the Rhodes I got, seems one of the pins holding the
long thing that pushes the dampers down was missing, so I just cut a bolt to fit
and reinstalled, and it works like a charm. Woot. Tsk tsk Darren or whatever
your name was for selling me this without the sustain rod, so I wouldn't know
(just kidding I'm sure he didnt know anyway).
OK so here's something that might actually be interesting to people who read this: I'm planning on GPLing Jesusonic. It's about that time (if anybody has any question as to why I would choose the GPL instead of a BSD license, see my previous article).
Finally, here's a little (extremely rough) take of a song that Dave Wiener and I
made back in August, using a poorly maintained (but still lovely) grand piano.
