It certainly, was… is…
No news particularly. My Genelec monitors arrived yesturday so I’ve mostly been spending the day listening to music in beautiful, beautiful detail.
Off to the local Blues Club in a bit with Rob Mac to spend Christmas eve watching depressingly white musicians bastardize the Blues. Bah-fucking-Humbug, yo!
Today, I was visited by the ghost of Christmas past… no, not really - just Rob Mac. Bah! He’s gone solo recently and I urge you to check out his Myspace here. His internet empire of sites is soon to go live and connect roughly 13,000 of his various social networking pages together into one unholy beast.
He previewed me some new tracks, a bit of a music vid and then we sat down to try and record some guitar-y bits… only to discover that I’ve apparently forgotten how to play guitar. Scar, eh? For real…
… this must be remedied in the new year.
Been watching Joss Whedon’s Firefly today. I’ve gotta say, its probably one of my favourite shows of all time and its a crime it was pulled after one series. Hey, I’ve watched the whole series five or six times though and its not getting old, so maybe that counts as a five or six season show?
The soundtrack by Greg Edmonson has to be noted as absolutely wonderful. Visually the show is a mix of Space and the Wild West, whilst the OST focuses on the western element. Its very similar to the Deadwood score in some respects, and this just fits so well. If you’ve ever seen the show, or just plain like good Acoustic music, the Soundtrack is a good buy.
EDIT: As a side-note, Jewel Staite (who plays Kaylee Frye) is, well… rather beautiful, and is currently featuring in Wired’s ‘2008 sexiest geek‘ awards. Vote for her!
Just me, or does this look like some awkward rape scene rather that a show about waltzing…
