Eleya brought home the Criterion edition of The Royal Tenenbaums this weekend. What a fantastic film. It’s from the same writers/director as Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, and shares the same quirky sense of humor. The Royal Tenenbaums is a little darker and more melancholy, though. It’s about a family of …
I laid down an acoustic guide track last night with my Superlux mic, and it sounds really great, fat and full. I found a couple of canned drum tracks which I laid behind it (thanks to a little tempo mod in ACID Pro) and really enjoyed playing around with the …

RIP John Entwistle. Thanks for sharing your talent with us; you’ve been inspirational to me and I’ll always treasure the memories of seeing you play live.
