i really like this guy’s sense of humor. i found it really interesting though, that he heard a lot of jazz in the songs. i’m gonna have to listen to this album again and see what he was talking about…
Kristina Carroll, whose art covers “ode to the ego” participated in a an art challenge, and needs your vote
CLICK HERE and post a comment saying you vote for Kristina Carroll.
it might be a little misleading at first, since the post begins with “The votes are in…” but that’s actually from a previous contest. 
all of the entries are interesting and creative in their own right. Scott Purdy’s is just plain scary (and excellent too)! but i really like the idea behind Kristina’s approach. let’s give her a hand…and send her a vote!
it’s with great honor i present to you the album cover of Ode to the Ego.

“Different but interesting track sent in by @lucytoon! Take a listen, let us know what you think http://is.gd/wHa3 ‘Other’ by Elwood Emission”
good times.
’cause i’m feeling generous, and i figured i should do this really quick before i change my mind, i’m giving away the new Elwood Emission debut album, Ode to the Ego to the first 20 people who sign on to the Elwood Emission mailing list.
on your mark, get set…and…GO!
this whole social networking is so very busy. i think i’ve spent most of the weekend setting things up. (i also did the copyrighting and the registering with ASCAP).
why is myspace so bad? it makes me feel so dirty when i go there. i was talking it over with the hubby, (as much as he HATES the web 2.0 social networking conversations) and he pointed out how myspace was built on php and mysql. and while that’s all good for some things, it’s definitely not good for a high-traffic site like myspace. facebook, done in .Net, and i think by the looks of it so is last.fm, you can see the difference. how things load, the flow of the pages and how updated content appears. i had noticed how myspace is trying to catch up with facebook…good look with that.
ok, after bashing it i want to point out that Elwood Emission now has a myspace page! be my friend and fan! i need some of those! hah!

stay tuned for last.fm and facebook pages….tralalala.

i definitely figured out what my problem was with run. it was dumb. i mean, i guess i was trying to be efficient, and in doing so it started messing with my shit.
i want to say that it was phasing, and i suppose in a way it sorta was? i had been busing the backups AND the leads to the same bus. apparently, that’s not a good idea. there was something that was going wonky when the vocals would sing, “shadow” and “me” at the same time. they overlap and…well. they just canceled each other out. it was kinda wacky. there was compressor on the bus, so maybe it was way pass the threshold? i didn’t want to experiment too much. but at least i got to the bottom of it.
i’m pleased with what i have. i don’t want to listen to it anymore tonight. i need a break. i’m pretty sure that the last bounces i did were final. i’ll listen briefly tomorrow, and then do real bounces to aif or wavs.
it was a long day of work, but completely worth it. run came out so good, i almost wanted to go back and remix the other two louder tracks. i didn’t fully remix them, but i did adjust the EQ and overall levels.
i poured myself a cup of wine and gave myself a toast for a job well done.
