Finished Star Guard

So I actually took the time to sit down and beat Star Guard as opposed to just playing it to pass the time. The last level is the hardest thing ever. There are laser halls of doom and the first boss is sooooooo hard compared to the second and third boss. I was about to give up, but I kept on going at it until finally I beat it and wow. I'm impressed with myself. Normally I'm a nomad gamer who will start playing a game and then move on not even beating it. I'm proud of myself.
Halloween party tonight, I'm dressing up as Professor Oak from Pokemon so this will be fun... I guess.... I dunno.

Fin

I finished my album today. The last track entitled "Space Junk" is exactly the length I wanted my last track to be, 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Very nice. I celebrated this by getting David Bowie's "Low" and season one of the 80s cop-drama "Miami Vice." Watched a couple episodes of it and it is really good. As far as cop shows go, this is number two on my list just behind "Castle". I mainly bot David Bowie's "Low" for the track "Subterraneans" so we'll see how I like the rest. I downloaded this Xenogears remix album as a recommendation from my buddy Clysm. So far there are only a couple notable tracks, mind you I haven't listened to the whole thing. I haven't played Xenogears either if you are wondering. I'll give you all (all two or three of you) a heads up when the album is released.

Interesting WOW

Yeah, people can make it in their bedroom and blah, blah, blah...but I fucking did Praise the Lard in my bedroom with like a tape deck, spring reverb, two compressors, and one fucking microphone, and no parametric reducer. I had a little mixing desk, and in those days, I was using things like the Fostex and the spring reverb. Anyway, what was the point?
This was said in an interview with Raymond Watts when he was talking about how people now-a-days can make music on their own thanks to improvements in technology. If you listen to Praise the Lard you'd be just as impressed as I am by this statement.
Just got a Wagner CD and an Enigma CD. I've honestly been listening to the band 2-Kut since like 9 this morning... that just shows you how much I like it! I have their whole discography... it's amazing.

Kein Mitleid - Chicago

Saw Angelspit and KMFDM at the House of Blues here in Chicago on Saturday. This was my first time hearing Angelspit and they were amazing. I got Zoog to sign my ticket and he also shook my hand. Didn't see Sascha or anyone from KMFDM after the show so that was a bit sad. The plus side is their set kicked some serious ass. I was so ecstatic to finally see KMFDM that once it was over (and still now) I'm sad that it's all over. Kind of regret not getting any merch as well. I hope they sell some on the store after the tour. No more needs to be said, the whole thing kicked ass.
