i threatened when i made my random album cover that i would do a full on music project based on the fake album i created.  well, i’ve decided it’s time.  get ready bitches, it’s time for gwozdziec!  in keeping with the creative commons-ness of the whole thing, i’m going to blog the progress and make […]

i’ve been waiting for someone to tag me on that 25 things meme, mostly because it’s come across a couple of the blogs i read, but i guess i either have no friends or everyone knows everything there is to know about me.  either way poor, poor, pitiful me.  anyway, i’m getting my revenge by […]

i’m happy to say the album is done. now i just need to get the cover printed and i can send it off. i’ve uploaded some of the tracks to my rpm page, but i haven’t uploaded the brand-spanking-new ones yet…should be posting those int he next couple of days. here’s the tracklisting though, for […]

21 days left of RPM (which, as you recall, is the make an album in the 28 days of february competition).  the goal is to complete a full album, which is defined as 10 songs OR 35 minutes.  here’s my vitals so far: so what does this mean? it means in terms of length, i’m […]

it started as an idea after doing the road trip cds because i threw some stuff on there that i hadn’t really listened to in years.  erin and i started talking about stuff we listened to in high school, so i decided to make high school mix cds.  if you’re interested in my somewhat more […]

it’s been a long time coming, i finally updated the blog design. i’ve done a couple custom wordpress themes for thinktank clients now, and it was about time i did one for myself. it’s not really anything new, although the banner is totally new. but the css was recoded by hand. the overall design is […]

…because it’s free! trent reznor does it again by releasing his latest album, the slip, absolutely free as a thank you to his fans.  all qualities, all formats, no whining.  is he making any money at all these days? so go get your copy, yo.

on wednesday erin and i went to a concert i’ve been looking forward to for months: saul williams’ the tar spangled banner tour. this is a big deal for several reasons: we don’t leave the house. ever. (well except for shopping, takeout, and work) we rarely have a night off. let alone a night out. […]

nick cave is my hero. i can’t get this song out of my head and when it is stuck in my head i end up doing his crazy strut. this album is fantastic. you should all buy it NOW.

part i my pre-ordered from the nin website copy of ghosts i-iv arrived yesterday. trent said that they went into making this album with the intent that it could/should be the soundtrack to something. on march 13, he announced a ghosts film festival on youtube. holding the actual release in my hands, i noticed it […]

i found this snippet on slashdot today, which says that p2p downloaders (read: music pirates) buy more music according to a study commissioned by the Canadian government (more and more i’m thinking that, despite popular american opinion, canadians RAWK). now this is something i’ve known for years, because it’s precisely the case for me. with […]

the new saul williams album was released yesterday, so i downloaded my copy yesterday morning and converted the flacs to mp3s so i could listen to it at work, and then burned the flacs to cd later to put it in the car. _____________________________________________ woah, that reminds me of a thing i saw posted to […]
