Did anyone record the stream?

For arrangements. I hate this "don't use the same sounds" crap. I fucking hate it. Why do people get bent out of shape for using the same sound? Are rock bands shitty for not changing their drum kit on every single track they record? What about the guitars? Does the guitar player have to change their guitar or guitar sound on every single song? Where is the logic here? Can an album not use the same Steinway Grand Piano on every song? Do you have to find a different Steinway Grand Piano for each piano recording? Yes, it's fine to change the sound a little bit, and guitar FX are nice, but asking to change the sound on every recording is, well, "crap if you ask me." But hey, what do I know? I "use the same crap in every song." (that's a direct quote from my girl - she didn't mean for it to sound that way, but I guess she's right. But she also listens to my music so whatever.) Sorry, just heard a lot of this lately and it bugs me. On a lighter note, this is awesome, except "boring, repetitive crap" because it uses the same snare on all four tracks: http://projectdolphin.bandcamp.com/album/silvergun

Some acronyms were first and you can't shake that.

QFT Also GOOD LUCK! Looking forward to this. PLEASE DON'T SCREW UP "ARMADA!"

This mix is amazing! The quality is through the roof. I'm totally impressed. Great work!

This is great!

That may happen...

Do you have any sort of budget or are you looking for pro bono? My most recent VGM beat is my Mega Ran remix found here - http://soundcloud.com/mustin/mega-ran-k-murdock-drop-the-load-mustin-mix My most recent VGM hip-hop collection is here - http://oneupstudios.bandcamp.com/album/vision-quest Let me know if you are interested. -m

Thanks! Glad you dig it.

Tulsa will probably be a better bet - it's 2:15 hours away from me, but I'd be happy to host you in Bentonville AR if you're going through. If you're taking 40 (which starts a bit south of DC), I'm an hour and change north of that at the AR/OK border. It's not TOO far out of the way to get you on the 44, which turns into the 40, which ends in LA. eMail me if you want the crash space. "When" may also be a factor (if I'm here or not). mr.mustin at gmail.

Damn, as soon as I get some money in the PayPal, this will be bought.

this thread is SO going to get locked lol sampling and arranging aren't the same thing lulz

Hey, thanks for your interest in the album. As producer, it was a lot of fun to make. It was made as a one-time deal. You may want to contact Child's Play and ask if they have any left, or recommend they do another pressing/volume. It was in the Penny Arcade merch store at some point, but I believe they are relocating their store and are currently down. Check out lockerd's link to hear all the tracks!

Hey, thanks for the love. We're still bringing the heat so stick around. Hoping to get a good number of albums/EPs early next year. We're always working on new material. Tell your friends!

Dude, glad you made it out. It was an AWESOME show. Bummed Powerglove didn't get to play more, but they rocked. On the plane headed home. Good times were had.

Wow. So is it because everyone hates me or are y'all really not interested in going? According to the "live music vs. studio recordings" I reckon most people don't like live music. lulz Well, I'm getting ready to go. It's gonna be fun. Gonna be awesome to see my good friends The Megas and brentalfloss again. See (any of you?) there!

Some Destructoid coverage. http://www.destructoid.com/bit-gen-gamer-fest-s-fifth-year-is-packed-with-game-music-180652.phtml

Hey, y'all. On August 14, video game bands across the 'States collide for Bit Gen Gamerfest 5. Powerglove Entertainment System The Megas This Place is Haunted Year 200X Rare Candy Armadillo Tank and I hear The OneUps might be there... along with Master of Ceremonies, brentalfloss I'd say that's a bill worth checking out. Plus there are several more bands, video game artwork artists, video games and arcade machines on free play - it's just gonna be a good ol' time. What: Video Game Music nerdfest Where: Sonar Baltimore | 407 E Saratoga St | Baltimore MD 21202 | 410.783.7888 When: Saturday August 14 | 4:00 PM EDT Get tickets: http://sonar.thundertix.com/orders/new?performance_id=21047 Who's gonna go?

I've always loved this one. Doing an arrangement of this source - it reminded me of this arrangement. So good.

We've all heard the tune a million times, but this Dubstep thing seems to be hot right now. Despite me not liking Dubstep at all, you should check out this awesome music video of ytcracker's new single: 2010 has been the Year of the Nerd for sho'.

This shit had me rolling. I've hated having to deal with customer service at PayPal because it is very much not customer service at all. Sorry to hear about the troubles. Wish there was something we could do but really with PayPal, there isn't. It's like the ex-girlfriend that will only do things on her terms on her time and her rules and those rules will change at any moment and if you couldn't read her mind then fuck you. Good luck.

Been busiest I've ever been. Now that it's all over - sickest I've ever been. Hey, is this 2008? http://dod.redheadedblacksheep.net/past/jun08/ 'Cause this totally stole the idea from my head, except not, and the idea itself is as old as time, but I'd hate just be called a copy cat or anything. Anyway... Sorry I haven't been keeping up on everything. Can't promise for great communication up ahead other than deadlines -- I have more busy-as-all-get-out coming up in a month. So I hope we can use this month to get everything together. Will be sending out project update eMail tonight. Thanks.
