I’m Bored. Why Not?

I’ve decided just to record everytime I’m playing around on Traktor. There are times when I make something awesome and it’s not recorded…sadness. An example of this is the wampy sound I got from Spawn Blond- Waterfalls. Usually I steer away from the wampyness that is dubstep but I really liked the sound that was coming from my speakers because I made it. Now not everthing that happens during these sessions is good. That’s where good ol’ Command X comes in. Deleted. It never happened. We start over. So I’m just going to start posting these random sparks of musical fun-ness. Eh…fun-ness? Is there a better way to say that. I’ll fix it later. Til then, enjoy these. I have fun making them. I hope you like them but if you don’t you can always delete them from your computer. I won’t be offended because I won’t know.

I HEART THEM ALL

 

Dear JCW

Alright. I’m just going to put it all out there. I don’t know if this will change anything but hopefully it will clear some things up.
The day you left was one of the saddest days of my life. The drive home was hard enough and was made even more difficult with the build up of tears. So much so that I pulled into a gas station, put my car in park and bawled my eyes out. For the next few days I was a complete wreck. I hated everyone and everything.  Fake smiles, a stoic persona and a constant intake of alcohol helped cover up all my sadness. The only saving grace was the occasional text message but I would have given anything to have you there next to me.
You said you had a problem with “bad timing” but there was always something or someone else.  I remember the first time we actually “hung out.” It was at May’s apartment. I walk in and you and Alan are watching BSG. I sit at the table and do my homework then I go and join the two of you. You were so funny and you had me clinging to every word. The next day I told Alan how awesome I thought you were but I kept it to myself when you were around. Then you came around more often and the attraction continued to grow but still I kept my feelings to myself. Next thing I know you and Josh are dating. You see, Angel, this is what happens when you don’t make a move. As time passed we became better friends and the time we spent together were some of the most memorable times of my life. The best part of my day was getting to hang out with you. Mulatto fish, random dance breaks, stealing bikes, Vin Diesel posters, “nice cardigan”…everything we did was fun and I will never forget those wonderful times. I still had those strong feelings but it became clear to me that I would only be the friend. After the Josh phase came Alex. We don’t need to discuss him because well…I HATE HIM. After that, you dropped the bomb. You were moving to Florida and didn’t know when you were coming back. I was going to lose my best friend.
Things had begun to change. There was a sudden shift and everything was happening so fast. I had lost track of my own life. I continued to read your blog. Every time there was a possible return date I would get so happy only to read later that the date had been changed. As time progressed the things you wrote only reassured my fears, you were never going to come back. I had given up. Truth is, I wrote you another letter that I never sent.
Your brief visit was something I needed. I missed you so much and just being able to see you, give you a hug and hang out brought back great memories and feelings. Then you had to leave again. Good bye the second time was much harder. There are still some things that were left unsaid on my part. Hopefully one day I will have a chance and courage to say them. When I said “I’m really glad you told me,” I meant it.  It’s good to know that you felt the same way and had the current situation been different who’s to say what could have happened. Just know that you are my best friend and I love you. Though fate had different plans for us that will NEVER change.



 

Being Productive

NOTE: This was supposed to be posted last Friday. Rapidshare was being a douche and didn’t give me a link. Today the same thing happened. This mix is out in the world wide web somewheres. As soon as I can get a link I will post it. Thank you for your patience

The first time I tried making this mix I had a handheld recorder that did not work. The day after it was due I figured out how to record everything on my Mac. Sad day. I put off redoing it because I wanted to do other things. i.e. Sex Panther Volume 1. Which was a valiant effort but only produced one mix worth mentioning. This was supposed to be my demo for Beta that was due back in October. It’s top 40, which is okay but I prefer to mix house music. Thankfully I wrote down the track list from the original which makes it a lot easier to recreate. This kicks off day one of being productive along with the three canvases that I painted over. For those of you that do download this please leave some feedback. Any comments will help. Be honest. To be the best we must remove everything that is holding us back.

I hope you like it. Thanks

P.S. I totally recognize the irony from my earlier post of never wanting to hear Sexy Bitch again and putting it in this mix. It’s the banging remix not the overplayed crapfest that’s on the radio.

 

Back…sort of

Times I’ve been online since last post: 2

Drunken nights: Too many

Paintings made since graduation: 0

Yep. This is my life. I’ve done nothing productive with my time. I stay up until 4 in the morning watching movies. Sleep until 3 in the afternoon then do absolutely nothing. This is not what I wanted at all. I was going to use all the momentum from the BFA show and become a badass painting machine. It didn’t happen. I have nothing to show but a handful of doodles. This frightens me. I need to get motivated. “Let’s go Angel!” Four and a half years and this is what it comes to. NO! Not now. Please. I won’t let it. TODAY IS THE DAY. I know I’ve said this before but this time I mean it. There are just too many people I’d be letting down. Where is the saw? This guy needs to make some canvases!

sidenote: I’ve officially rejected the radio as a source for music. When four channels play the same type of music, let alone the same song at the same time, it’s time to move on. I swear to God, if I hear Sexy Bitch or Fireflies again someone is getting punched.

Dear Colorado Radio, you suck. I hate you and you should kill yourself.

Best wishes,

Angel

 

JUBILATION!

So, what’s it called when you completely own something so hard that there isn’t a hint of doubt that what you’ve just done was absolutely glorious? That’s how I feel right now. I went into room 104, took my seat and had my way with the final exam. I expect nothing less than 100%. Wait 102% if you count the extra credit. Yep. Glorious.

Oh! I have completed my term here at CU. Who knows what crazy adventures wait for me in the future. For now, I am going relax and let the realization that I have done something that no one else in my family has done slowly overcome my body and embrace me in its warmth. Today is a good day.

look what I found

Yeah, I’m a badass

Very Excite

Deadmau5 is this Wednesday! Yep it’s going to be amazing. Anyway the point of this post is to release one of the tracks off of Sex Panther. Track 2 is a mix of strictly Deadmau5 tracks and remixes. It’s pretty clean and I really enjoyed making it. It’s here for your listening pleasure. Enjoy

CATCHTHATKID!-Mau5keteer!

 

tried it. not for me. so i’m back.

With all the hype about tumblr I decided to follow the wave. I liked a lot of things about it. Posting music and videos was really simple and the personalization was something that caught my eye right away. In the end I felt that it had too much. I need something simple. A place where I can right down thoughts and upload awesome photos without any extras. So wordpress, sorry to stray but I’m back now.

Here’s my tumblr. not very exciting

Some new art work. Back to basics, in a sense.

 

Coming Soon!

So the demo was a bust. BUT I figured out how record on my laptop and now it’s on. IT’S SO ON! I feel good about this. I’ve got two pretty good mixes down and planning on two more. Yay electro house! Sex Panther is coming and it’s coming HARD.
