sampler thing

so tomorrow i'm gonna spend most of the day putting samples into our new roland spd-s thingy that i dropped $640 on the other day. so far, tommi seems to really like the thing, it's actually been really annoying cuz i can't get him to stop fucking around and hitting the damn thing when we're trying to rehearse. but as of now it seems to have been a worthy investment. it actually has some cool 808 and 909 sounds in it, which is stuff we'll probably end up using on some new tunes whenever that happens. anyways, the show is gonna be $5 to get in. apparently the competition is judged by the ishta music company panel of judges and the audience, so uh, yeah, whatever. first place is $300, second $100, everyone else gets a meager cut of the door depending on turnout.

i was hoping to have some new or different songs ready to perform for this thing, but it's looking a bit unlikely, as were somewhat resting upon our laurels over the past couple of months. really, just reorganizing the songs with our newly expanded sonic palette is proving to be somewhat challenging, as through trial and error we're having to figure out what works or doesn't work, which basically consists of tommi telling me if something sucks or not.

anyway, i'm at the stupid jazz club now, it'd boring and tepid as fuck. rehash a plenty.
