HOORAY! Ryan is coming to Nashville to the Ryman. I’ve already got my tickets, because I know how quickly that place sells out. It looks as if my decision was a good one, because I checked just a bit ago and the pre-sale is pushing tickets all the way back on rows U and L (floor and balcony). I got 4 on row E in the balcony, which should be excellent seats.

Doesn’t look like I’ll make it to Riverstages this year. The list wasn’t looking that impressive anyway. Foo Fighters I would like to see, but not enough support the last time I checked to warrant going down. Plus, I’d have to just go 2 days, since my cousin’s wedding reception is on that Sunday.

DJ Rectangle’s Turn Table Torture… yea I know it’s old, but I’ve been listening to it a ton lately, and I have to say it’s a great mix-tape cd.

I’ve been playing with GarageBand and this is my first track created totally in GarageBand. I’m thinking of taking some of my older tracks, and remixing them in GarageBand with some new sounds. That might take a while tho… but hopefully I can have them done for the relaunch of mp3.com under the C-Net brand.

Incubus‘s new CD, A Crow Left Of The Murder… came today. I’M A HAPPY BOI. Yes, with the DVD and access to pre-sale tickets. I am happy.

[insert happy dance here]

My review of the new Incubus CD. Summary: go buy it, but prepare your eardrums.

this is definately going to be an annual event that i attend. riverstages 2003 rocked… live rocked hard, we were down in front against the barrier for them… really good show… the b52’s also were very good… jason mraz was really good, even though we only caught part of his set on friday… and everclear… one of the best sets i’ve ever seen from any concert… the pit was awesome… to bad the setup at riverfront part does not lend itself to kindly to crowd surfers… jamie got dropped on the concrete steps… he was ok, but we saw a few others that were not so lucky… we met some beautiful girls in nashville, i really envy the guys that live there, they have a nice pond to pick from…

overall i think everyone had a good trip, except kyle, who passed out friday from to much canadian mist… but, you have to learn somehow…

i think jamie really enjoyed his bachelor party… and the girls at hooters who gave him a nice fairwell to single life…

p.s. hi to lauren and mindi, i doubt you all will ever read this, but yea, i was one of the guys down there in the front with you… 😉

i had almost forgotten the few tracks i had done with a couple of bands i played in in the past. since my friend saint is in, maybe he has a copy of the few rap/rock songs we did…

i also took a turn at some techno tracks, and i’ve been meaning to do some more, maybe with some rap/funk lines and some lyrics… just can’t ever seem to find the time to do them tho…

just thought i’d share these two links with you all, and hopefully i can get a copy of the few other songs i did… the great thing about .mp3 is you can share your work with people who would never have heard it before, and you can also put it on the internet so that it never goes away…

mp3 is not a crime is what i’d call that… 😉

i ordered some new subnoize tribe discs last night… well, some new some old… shakey bonez, the masked man, pakelika, grand vanacular and a spaded, jaded and faded sampler from srh.

also, my man saint called me, he’s back from his duty in japan, and will be in town for a few weeks before going on vacation, then heading up to chi-town to work in the jag office there… the reason i mention him, is he is the man that introduced me to subnoize music, and plus, i just got the call from him yesterday that he’s in town 😉

I need to check on tickets for pearl jam… that should be a fun concert…
