Been busy busy....

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days I have been really busy in the studio.  I won't get all detailed but it started this week in Mickey Avalon's studio then a drive went down (fuk!). Had to go redo some shizz up at my studio. Then wacthed Dirt Nasty and producer Kojack working on a track upstairs til 5am. Then got up at 10am to head in the studio again at Mickey's house. We fixed what we needed to.  Kojack (long time no see) came over to track a song featuring Perry Ferrel and Mickey. In the meantime I set up upstairs in Mickey's kitchen (see pic above) and started working again...

then off to a pivate gig for a big director...

more on that later

WORK TIME

Got keep this brief cuz I gotta switch on the ProTools and AKAI and make some music. We are finally finishing submissions for AVE's album this week. It will be out mid summer if the suits don't fuck it up. I'll be over @ his crib most of the week, engineering/producing/ and making sure my songs get picked for the album, HA! MICKEY HATES recording in big studios. Here he is in his downstairs lab where we have recorded a lot of shizzz lately..This is where we did "GOING BACK TO REHAB"(and a lot more which I can't tell u about yet, don't wanna get punched)! OH and thx for all the nice comments regarding the song "JUNK IN A TRUNK". I produced that one too. It's on MICKEY's page for prolly not much longer, so check it out if you haven't. 

gotta get to work

OH SNAP!! CHECK OUT THESE NEW PIECES OF GEAR

I've had studio's for years and dreamed of the day when you could compose, mix, record, master, make history, etc... with a laptop and a controller. Since I travel a lot most of my new shit has been done in Pro Tools 7.4 on a MacBook Pro, controlled by my AKAI MPD 32 or Mickey Avalon's tiny lil OXYGEN 8.

More on what I use and have used in other posts...

NOW to the point. I couldn't make this years NAMM show (FUCK!!@#$) cuz I was playing shows in FLORIDA , which was nice by the way. Wut up ORLANDO!!. NAMM is a convention where they show all the new gear that's coming out..Funny we were in Florida cuz of the SURF convention and there was a SHOOTING convention next door as well, actual guns, not ..well nevermind...So I'm just now catching up on all the new gear.

Behold the KORG NANOSERIES. They have been out in UK for awhile I guess(not sure tho). I think I want the keyboard one in black. (they make em in both) Sick for the plane..
