I was watching Law & Order last night and saw a commercial for Rock Band 2. It looks like the RB2 release date is September 14th. Just an hour earlier I'd gone to GameStop, traded in some old games, and reserved by bright and shiny new copy. Hopefully my new drum kit is here at the same time.
It looks like my new addiction is getting closer to released. It looks like all of the pieces for the new Drum Rocker kit from Ion are available, which means an additional cymbal as well as a double bass pedal. Maybe with a double bass pedal I can make it through some of the tougher speed metal songs and won't be so exhausted at the end of Green Grass and High Tides :)
I'm not sure what the whole Musical Baton thing is about, but Bill Horvath shot it my way, so here goes :)
Had a good night tonight at the Rhythym Lab taking Bongo lessons. I learned a very hard lesson though. Keep that thumb away from the Bongo when you're not playing Martillo. Tain't fun I tell ya...
This one's been in my iTunes list for a few weeks now, and I like it more and more everyday. Then I checked out his site and love it even more :). Bob Schneider's site makes a great use of Flash, while at the same time letting you listen to his entire album along with commentary on each song. Veeeery nice.
Had some time to burn at the local Fred Meyer, so as usual I did a bit of a musical slurge:
This is exactly what I want to do to my Jeep (or whatever vehicle may soon replace it). I have the iTrip FM tuner which works alright, but there are odd interferences, and you have to ditch whatever On-the-go playlist you have going in order to switch FM channels on those long drives. Not to mention that you still have power cables somewhere as well as some type of holder taking up space. The ability to hook right into the deck via an RCA cable would give you the clearest sound you can get out of the iPod, which would be fanstastic. I've seen rumors of Alpine coming out with an iPod capable deck, but no telling how far out that is...
Eric Meyer reminded me how much I loved The Matrix soundtrack, and particuarly Spybreak, then I found Decksanddrumsandrockandroll on iTunes, and after listening to the clips had to buy it...
Been loving iTunes lately, and it's done nothing to help control my music habit (damn those enablers....).
