I've finally ordered my first big batch of Traveller CDs, and I'm ready for orders. I've gone a relatively different direction with the second disc; it's more introspective and somewhat less inspired by dancehall music. Still the same old me, though.
I ordered them from mixonic, but it will likely take them a week or more to get them to me. The sooner the better, as I already have a few orders to fill, but these short-run outfits do take their sweet time.
I've got a new song, a diamond in the rough, that I will try to post tonight or tomorrow. It's a little more 'electronica ambient' than what I've been doing, a little less organic, but still nice to hear. Playing with different sounds, mixing techniques, going wayyy out on the stereo effects, having a bit non-serious fun but maintaining a nice sound.
Was SUPPOSED to go to a screening of A Clockwork Orange today at Circle Cinema, our new arthouse theater, but I didn't realize it was a matinee showing only, so I missed my big chance to see this classic on the 'big' screen. Circle Cinema will eventually be composed of two screens, Cinema 1 which will be large, and Cinema 2, which is already open. 2 isn't a huge screen, but film is film, and in some ways the smaller screen is better for clarity.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (talk about contrast) is showing next Sunday, so we'll have to catch the late showing. I don't normally go for romantic classics, but this one in particular is a weakness for me. Picking up that cat in the rainy alleyway... that's one of my favorite cinematic scenes of all time. And this is coming from the same person who has seen A Clockwork Orange at least a dozen times or more. And Dawn of the Dead. And the list goes on.
I know, I'm hopeless. Celluloid is my mainline; I was raised on a heavy dose of action, adventure, and science fiction, and I continue the proud tradition my parents handed down to me, all at the demise of my spending money of course.
Well, it seems that CAUCE, the anti-spam group, has a new blog. So I'll have something to read after my does of the Daily Kos and The Nation's many weblogs. I ordered the 'Dubya as Alfred E. Neuman' shirt in time for election day, and I've just about worn it out already. People either love it or they hate it; I either get really GOOD service when I'm eating out, or really BAD service. And it's a lot of fun.
Enough blabbing for today. I'm beat.
