Weezer, Beverely Hills live and acoustic.

This little nugget is from a few months back when I saw Weezer in concert. They brought out an entire band of various local instruments (you know, 10 acoustic guitars, a clarinet, tuba, etc.). The highlight for me in my lousy little recording is the oboe solo (right …

Synthpond

Loving SynthPond on the iPhone. Give it a try if you enjoy the dabble of experimental generative musical apps. Grab the free lite demo if you want to know what the heck I'm talking about.

Christmas prep

Transmissions have been a little sparse over at the AV Club this week but translate that to mean the team's working extra hard and Christmas services at NewSpring will be extra video-y and glow-y and techno-y. We're working on a few things you haven't seen before. …

Yes and no.

Christmas Remixed

It's no surprise I love music . I revel in a successful choice for a video or element that just lands perfectly. Bonus points are awarded if it's from a less-known but strangely familiar (and you hear it on the radio in 6 months) artist. This Christmas we're mixing …

A NewSpring Christmas opener

And so here's what we came up with for A NewSpring Christmas Party.

I'm sure Adam has more (he's responsible for the green screen insanity), but here are a few that Sydney snapped so you can see just what went …

Today's favorites

Today my absolute two favorite songs are "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz and "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil. I'm not joking on those two, darn catchy.

A NewSpring Christmas Party open

Here's a sneak peek of the "A NewSpring Christmas Party" opener. I'll post the piece and the service run down on Monday.

Horizon Records

I don't know what you have planned for today, but you could do much worse than the Horizon Record's record fair in Greenville, SC. New vinyl, old vinyl, DJs. I'm not sure what else, but I'll find out when I get there (with my entire family... that's right).

After Effects Multiprocessing

When I installed After Effects CS3 and saw the multiprocessing option I made the assumption that it would severely speed up my RAM previews. Why not, right? More processors is better than less I would assume. But I notice now that my RAM previews are extremely …

Twitter of the week

Meg's Twitter today is on my "most favorite" list.

So, G announced to us today that he's asking Santa for a power generator for Christmas this year.

My 3,000th Twitter is coming the next time I post to Twitter. Hmm, wonder what to put there?

Works for Me - Foxmarks and web apps

In this "works for me wednesday" post, I unpack a combo of Firefox extensions and web apps that make my digital and web info driven life much easier. This works for me because I live off of 4-5 different computer devices. I use a large editing Mac Pro at work, a …

Tree time

After much attic digging and copious amounts of super glue the Wilson tree is up. Also a sidenote: I tuned the vinyl decks and with the exception of some jazzy modern beat tunes most of this year's Christmas music will be supplied from the original vinyl. (pictured …

I've been researching MIDI and hardware controllers the last few days (don't ask) and came across this little beauty.
