CC Mixter is a site for material under Creative Commons sampling licenses. It allows artists to post their samples for collaboration and use in remixes/mash-ups. They’ve got some samples on there from the Creative Commons licensed songs included in Wired Magazine’s November 2004 issue. I uploaded a highly compressed version of the sample set for Making Me Nervous and I’ll probably do more when I get some time.

Nanoloop – a step sequencer and synthesis package for the Gameboy Advance.

What that circus clown music is called – I always wondered this. Also, best transcription ever: “doot-doot-doodle-oodle oot doot do do”.

Still Hungry – Twisted Sister has re-recorded Stay Hungry, the first album I ever bought on my own.

Jesusonic CrusFX 1000 – a pretty awesome looking and sounding programmable effects processor by Justin Frankel, the creator of Winamp. (via Music Thing)

When Entourages Attack – The Slate guide to managing your posse. Funny article on entourages. (via /usr/bin/girl)

The Brad Sucks Bad Attraction Remixfight is now online. Head on over there and vote. (Review thread is here.)

Turns out that Mike Essl, one of the guys on the VH1 Totally Obsessed Mr. T episode that my song was licensed for use in, has posted the segment on his weblog. My song kicks in as soon as he ralphs and I’m pretty sure this makes us share some sort of deep VH1 party bond. Funny segment, glad to be a part of it.

It is my birthday today. I am old now.

In other news, I bought a new sound card last week (M-Audio Delta 66) which will hopefully kick my recording setup into action again. I started reorganizing everything over two months ago and got sidetracked and have been kinda stuck. Hopefully that’s behind me now, like so many years of my life.

Here are some podcasts that wrote to let me know they’re going to play my stuff: Hardcore Insomnia Radio, Game on the Street, and I should be in the Indiefeed Alternative/Modern Rock channel sometime soon. You are all awesome and I salute you.

Update: Also being played on Michele’s Freeminding. Cool stuff.

The Brad Sucks Bad Attraction Remixfight! deadline is November 15th, which is just around the corner. You still have a couple days to get your entry in if you hustle. I’m told there’s gonna be a pretty good turn-out, which is super cool. And here are some new mixes:

• Look And Feel Years Younger (MC Jack in the Box mix)
• Bad Attraction (Colvig’s Guitar Madness mix)
• Look And Feel Years Younger (Colvig’s Space Girl mix)

Thanks!
