  1. I made you a cake for your birthday, Judith Bridger, but then we ate it without you. I blame the children. Happy Birthday!
  2. After we were finished tracking drums for the next THEO album, Kevin DePree asked me to play a little Hammond on one of his student's drum covers. Check out 10 year old Emerson playing some swing! How cute!
  3. You're supposed to be playing, Randy. Not texting.
  4. Oh, Melissa Gilbert, your email headers know the way directly into my heart. "Are we still planning on meeting tomorrow?" Yes, yes, a thousand times YES! Ah, Half-Pint, all these years of unrequited love are finally about to come to a glorious end...

    ... wait, you sent this to how many people? It's just a fundraising campaign for your congressional run? Son of a bitc....
  5. Dammit Pianoteq, why does your Blüthner model sound SOOOO good?
  6. I'd go for the helicopter facts.
  7. Happy 70th birthday, David Gilmour. This is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album and one of the records that made me fall in love with the sound of the Hammond through a Leslie speaker (on chorale) when I was a little kid. Gilmour's tone on this album is the pinnacle, imo.

      Couldn't see which Floyd album you cited as your favorite, though I'm guessing WYWH. Cheers! -- Tom

  9. Scarlett wanted to try my glasses.

  11. The gobbiltygook that comes out of Paul's mouth would be hilarious if he wasn't serious about it. I give Bernie a lot of credit for not simply laughing in his face.
  12. Oh conservatives, how low your party has sunk. The candidate trumping all other candidates for the GOP nomination (see what I did there?) is waxing philosophical about the size of his penis during a live, televised debate. This is what your party has become; literal dick-wagging.

    In light of that, this seems apropos.
  13. "Eugene Driker, a civil defense attorney, and Brian Lennon, a criminal defense attorney, were each awarded a contract worth $249,000 through Dec. 31, after which those contracts can be extended, Snyder spokesman Ari Adler told the Free Press.

    The contracts, which are to be paid with state funds, are just below the $250,000 threshold for contracts requiring approval from the State Administrative Board, which meets in public to approve state contracts and grants."

    And who is paying for his PR firm? You guessed it; tax payers.

    Can we please arrest this piece of shit?
  14. Working on new THEO songs and replacing a lead patch I made in Retrologue (virtual analog) with a re-creation made on the Andromeda (real analog). Guess which one won?

    I like Retrologue a lot; it sounds really nice and is very easy to program. However, I was having trouble with this particular lead sounding too thin and wimpy in the mix. That's no longer an issue with the Andromeda and I was only using one oscillator. Analog FTW.
  15. "Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkk..." Chris Christie's brain
  16. What do I do on a late Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning when snowed in? Compare analog oscillator waveforms. Below is the triangle output from my Alesis Andromeda vs. the triangle from a synthesizers.com Q106 module. Exciting, isn't it?
  17. "Trump, it turns out, is just the symptom. The rise of American authoritarianism is transforming the Republican Party and the dynamics of national politics, with profound consequences likely to extend well beyond this election."

  18. One of my favorite interviews with Dr. Richard Carrier. Well worth listening to.
  19. I think this is one of my favorite versions of this song, next to Lou Rawls' soulful take and the melancholic interpretation by Tony Bennett in 1966.

    Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, and Billy Higgins? Yes, please.
  20. Beautiful piano playing by Mike LeDonne on the upcoming George Coleman record. And of course George sounds amazing.
  21. My wife has a new clothing line in conjunction with VIDA. Her original paintings turned into beautiful clothing for women. Check it out!

  22. Just fixed my second Commodore 1541 floppy drive. A new belt and it's good as new.
