Apologies for not updating sooner. It’s been quiet on the music front here in Studio 813 the last couple of months, due to broken equipment and what not.
I have been updating the photoblog fairly frequently though.
Not to mention posting photos to Twitpic and, just this last week, starting a Blipfoto Journal. (Which I just realised, I have not updated today! D’oh!)
Anywho, while I have nothing new to report music-wise just yet (I am working on stuff though), I thought I’d update anyway to
a) let the world know I’ve not forgotten this site and
b) share with you this awesome animation.
I already shared it via Twitter, but I’m sharing it again because it’s great.
The official site appears to be logorama-themovie.com but it wasn’t loading when I wrote this.
Maybe it works now though eh?
Here is the first part of a long (3hr) interview with the late, great George Carlin. It is basically George talking candidly about his life and work and recorded about six months before he died.
The rest of the interview can also be found on YouTube
Les Paul was a genuine musical legend, the real thing.
This man was not just a virtuoso jazz guitar player with one of the most famous guitars of all time named after him (the Gibson Les Paul)
This was the man who essentially invented the electric guitar and more importantly, if that wasn’t enough, this was the man who invented multi-track recording.
Without his genius, I simply wouldn’t be able to do what I do.
What’s more, without his creation, none of the recorded music of the last 60 years would exist as we know it.
We all owe this man more than we could ever possibly express.
