At long last, it’s done… GLAC-18

It’s finally, completely, done.

GLAC-18- DIY volume 1: Signal Intercept.

31 minutes of instruments I either built or repaired myself.

I’m told that our partner in crime for this release, Everyone Else Has A Record Label, So Why Can’t I? has made up an initial batch of the cassette. You should be able to get it through them, or me once I get a handful of them, probably on Friday (8/07/2009).

I’m trying to also work out a mechanism for getting digital copies to people that works to the satisfaction of all parties involved. If there’s interest, let me know, but I’m not guaranteeing anything yet.

Now I’ve really got to get cracking on Volume II, but it needs more gear finished before I start…

Administrivia and News of the Future

Lots of things going on of late. A quick recap:

1. Upgrading the FeedWordpress plugin ate a number of the PTB show descriptions from the last three months or so. I recovered some of them. The rest have the generic description again. Yay upgrades.

2. I’ve set up a Facebook page for whatever it is we do here(are we a label? do we build gear? A little of both and then some?), so if you’re a fan of whatever it is we do here and prefer Facebook to these ‘blog’ things, go become a fan there. I promise it won’t be a constant source of annoyance.

3. Expect some announcements of things happening in the future. For instance, I’ll be performing at Bella Dubby in Lakewood on August 21st, as a duo with my friend C. Randolph C. More details soon. Also be on the lookout for the forthcoming cassette released in conjunction with Everyone Else Has A Record Label, So Why Can’t I?, as well as more fun stuff on the horizon.

4. GoatTracker fans- here is a FAR better port of GoatTracker for Mac OS X than mine ever was. Seriously, it’s awesome. I’ll be going back and adding links to this one in my older posts.

5. A quickie on the DIY front – I’m moving right along on a MIDIbox SID. It’s just going to be a single-SID/basic control surface model, but it is moving right along. Hopefully usable & in an enclosure before August 21st…
