I wrote last time in the music meme (I still don't know what that is) that the last CD I bought was "The Mars Volta" - "Frances The Mute". I had bought the CD at that time but I didn't receive it in the mail until the next day. I had never really heard "The Mars Volta" before I bought the CD and I only really bought it because the guitarist Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez has appeared on a couple of John Frusciante's albums and I liked what I heard of him. This CD is INCREDIBLE. I usually play about three CD's a day in my Jeep driving around. One or two songs from this one then a couple from another, ect. "The Mars Volta" CD has not left my CD player since I bought it. Once every three years or so a CD will come out that really gets me excited about music and being a composer/musician and this one definately has. It reminds me of old Yes and King Crimson and all the "progressive rock" bands that I really love. It has blown my mind.
"The Shield" starts it's fourth season this Tuesday at 10p.m. on FX. It's probably my favorite show of all time.
Aaron and I went out Sunday to take some pictures two of which can be seen below this post. When we were driving up to the Adair church I said to Aaron "One day we will come here and the church will be caved in". As soon as I said it we saw that the church had indeed caved in and in a bad way. It must have made a hell of a sound when it came down.
Rob Scheys lent me a book called "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook" It basically contains tips for mixing multi-track music down to Cd or whatever format. For a nerd like me it is a really good read. I have always been very proud of my mixes and have considered them to be of high quality but this book has caused me to think of a couple things differently.
That's all I have for now. I'm boring as hell.
