"Yes, it's time for the 2012 RPM Challenge. And this year we have arranged a bonus just for you. We arranged, worldwide, (except for some remote parts of Africa and South America) to get you an extra day this year. That's right, this year you get 29 days to make your album. See we are nice people after all. We did that just for you. You know where: http://rpmchallenge.com Get your guitars, your kazoos, your ukuleles, your wax papered combs, and join us again for 2012."

"And hey, as a warm up, get your pots and pans from the kitchen and do this year's warm up challenge: The Kitchen Challenge. Oh and tell some friends, too."
- Joe The Sausage
dunno if i'm equal to this right now. we'll see as the month progresses. anyone else gonna have a go?
- Joe The Sausage
I'd love to, but it just ain't my skill set. But I'm prepared to actively support anyone that does have a go.

biggest stumbling block for me is lack of unmolested time. only way around is if my wife can take the girls out for a few hours at a time at least twice a week in February. not holding my breath on that one.
- Joe The Sausage
I've signed up. I wasn't able to finish last year, but I'm going to give it another try this time around... even if I have to submit songs that even I consider to be substandard. :)

I'd love to do it but the little PA-blasting blighters across the street screwed me up last year and I'm sure they would again this year.

I have to say I was super surprised when I saw Kate Mulgrew on Warehouse 13. She's still very pretty but she looks more like me now than ever. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. LOL
- Hookuh Tinypants
Hey, she had some very bad experiences with the borg :-)
- Todd Hoff
that distorted corner with the bass trap doesn't actually look like that. :P
- Joe The Sausage
i may be developing a mental block on the final bit of cabling i need to do. plus there's a trunk i need to stuff under the table holding the keyboards.

""Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful". -Ian Faith, manager of Spinal Tap Big hair, big riffs, and big bottom: the 1980's were a simpler, more innocent time. A time when a young upstart band like Spinal Tap could enjoy a meteoric rise from obscurity to dominate stadiums and movie screens across the country. From the mists of Stonehenge to the stages of the American midwest, Spinal Tap has rocked 'em all. Throughout their career, one instrument stands out as the embodiement of the band and all that they stand for: Derek Smalls' B.C. Rich Doubleneck Bass. No other bass has the look! No other bass has the tone! No other bass has a second, larger 8-string bass affixed to it! Custom made by B.C. Rich, this solid wood rock machine has two necks, four pickups and twelve thunderous strings!"

did you know that before they filmed this dance scene Donald O'Connor had never done the run up a wall back flip? (I listen to too many commentaries)

He did it like a pro. :) Probably because he's a pro.

green is on one board, pink is on another, gray is rack-mounted. first half of the green board is identical in both versions. i reckon i could start with the pedalboard and then use that while getting the parts for the rack version together.
- Joe The Sausage
the twin pedalboard version also allows for ease of transport and the ability to patch in extra things (pedals, a looper, etc.) when needed.
- Joe The Sausage
i think the flanger will go on the pink board so i can more easily put a loop recorder between it and the delays. DI will probly not live on a board.

"Finnix is a self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution ("LiveCD") for system administrators, based on Debian testing. You can mount and manipulate hard drives and partitions, monitor networks, rebuild boot records, install other operating systems, and much more. Finnix includes the latest technology for system administrators, with Linux kernel 2.6, LVM2, encrypted partitions, etc. And above all, Finnix is small; currently the entire distribution is over 300MiB, but is dynamically compressed into a small bootable image. Finnix is not intended for the average desktop user, and does not include any desktops, productivity tools, or sound support, in order to keep distribution size low."

Yeah, usually plain though, but I do like the shrimp once in a while. I just serve it hot and put the shrimp in raw. It's great! I never tried it with crab.

"Wearables Nike files patent for auto-lacing sneakers, Marty McFly doth protest By Laura June posted Aug 26th 2010 12:59AM We've seen some extremely DIY auto-lacing sneakers, but it looks like the big boys -- Nike -- have thought about getting in on the game as well. Patent filings which occurred in early through late 2009 show off an automatic lacing system that is pretty reminiscent of Marty McFly's invention in Back to the Future, and we can tell you that from the looks of it, it's a future we'd definitely like to inhabit. The shoes appear to boast a charging system and lights in addition to the lacing component, and while so few patent apps ever lead to a real retail product, we're really rooting for this one."

Good to know. That's pretty much going to be my strategy. I'm thinking I may do better just selling individual tracks because I can't seem to get enough time+focus to do the album thing. I can probably milk a single track for a while with video, audio, and ringtones (myxer.com) :)
- Rah-PM 2012
I'm taking a song-by-song release approach for my current project. It's easier to produce AND easier to take-in (from a listener standpoint).

"Here is my newest video offering: A cover of the classic Doobie Brothers‘ “Takin’ it to the Streets.” What I’ve tried to do here is provide some documentary content: To really show what it is you’re hearing. The audio and video for this song were tracked at the same time. What you hear and what you see are one-in-the-same. When you see a computer recording something in the background, you can bet that that is the audio you’re hearing in the recording. There is even some out-take footage."

I have that same axiom keyboard at my desk. ;) This is technically very impressive on the video, as well as the musicianship, dude. Way to step it up!

The pile of gear behind the uke is supposed to go to Ebay. (Maybe not the DL-4). I've been slow in putting it on auction. See something you like? Make me an offer. LOL

@SG: HA!! Difficult to see, but thee are two MIDI controllers: A Behringer FCB-1010 and a Digital Music corp. Ground Control.

"A couple of weeks a go, I released my version of Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song” and offered the recording as a FREE download and asked only for a single Tweet in return. The response was inspiring! All over the world came these lovely notes of appreciation for the track. They still come through now and again. Everyone seems to dig the reharmonization towards the end. It’s been really cool."

Waiting for the "Zeppelin Police" to come down on me for playing this tune--much less changing it.
