I put this together today. The melody is something I dorked together a couple days ago using “midikeys” and “simplesynth” to play a soundfont into ardour while a click track played in the background. Today I designed a a drumbeat to go with it. It was trippy — once I set up the synchronization between Jack and Hydrogen as described in the tutorial, not only did hydrogen start playing when I started recording in Ardour, but when I started playing my Hydrogen stuff while I composed it, it triggered my melody to play in Ardour! So I could put the drum track together in Hydrogen and have the melody play in the background in sync with the patterns I was composing. Neat.

I had no idea how hip the Prez was.
This is seriously fun and cool.
Also not to be missed: Sunday, Bloody Sunday.
Steve It
I make a foray into mashupland, aided by the magic of GarageBand — and bring you Steve It.

Now that’s some tasty mashup!
The trouble with mashups for someone as musically clueless as me is that half the time they’re mashing up things you’ve never heard of. Here’s a technically tight, catchy mashup, accessible to chumps like me. Ain’t nobody hasn’t listened to to Joan Jett and Queen, nobody my age anyway.
Tackhead in the area!
I never thought I’d see it — a live tackhead video on their site. Recently recorded.
“I take donations from all denominations! In any currency, big or small…”
I haven’t heard this song in years. Never heard it live. Wow.
And there’s a new Tackhead song in the “downloads” section too. I never thought I’d use the words “new Tackhead song.”
Wow.
And you can order their first album again for the first time in about a zillion years… shipping to the U.S. from Japan’s a killer though.
I swear this site was not up, none of these things were around, last time I looked for Tackhead stuff. Schweet.
OK, I’m really going to sleep now, I’m even going to save the new Tackhead track to listen to tomorrow.
