Vinnie Colaiuta!

It's been a while folks. Things have been crazy (but good) lately. I just wrote a review of one of my favorite records of all time and wanted to post a link here. It's in the "fusion" genre and written by drummer extraordinaire; Vinnie Colaiuta.
Here is the link at Amazon.com:

In case I don't post you soon, Happy Holidays to everyone!

This is getting serious.

Yep, you can now connect and record your guitar, mic etc directly to your iPhone and record multitrack! I know there are some other attachments out there but this one....its cool...

Somewhere the Movie

UPDATE! (like the film, this review will be short, sparse, with few words:^)

Saw it. Good. Ending unfulfilling. Perhaps this is the point. I like quiet movies with a lot of space. This has that in spades. Nice sound design as always. Good sparse use of music. Elle Fanning saves the film, IMHO.


I am wondering what it will be like on the second viewing....

I want one.

There are alot of neato electronic audio gadgets that I want...and this is one of them.

It's the journey...

I read this today and it moved me. Wanted to share...

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt "Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
