If I were in possession of a microphone you can bet I'd've found a way to post my mp3s, if not here, then at least on my MySpace. (To which I haven't logged in in like...a year?) I did once have a chance to record a couple tracks, but I was nervous as all get out and I think I sound lame, so no demos for everyone just yet.<br /><br />If you happen to have spare audio equipment you would send me in the mail, though... :DFiat Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441862977921307080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918255.post-43469955330730130452010-03-07T18:29:37.853-06:002010-03-07T18:29:37.853-06:00This is a very cool song.

(So when you start touring, lemme know when you're hittin' up the San Francisco area, mkay? :))<br /><br />Actually, that brings me to something I'd been meaning to ask you (and if I'm bringing up something that's anathema to you as a musician, please forgive me, I plead total ignorance here!) but have you thought about performing your songs as videos and posting them online? Some of my favorite music is stuff I've discovered that way (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PomplamooseMusic#p/u/1/z9KMgg7T_sg" rel="nofollow">Pomplamoose</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jaaaaaaa?blend=1&ob=4" rel="nofollow">Julia Nunes</a> come to mind)---and they've ended up playing live gigs because of it.The Woeful Budgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940543617741545988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918255.post-3702494266787998912010-03-07T01:05:36.269-06:002010-03-07T01:05:36.269-06:00Indeed, indeed! And muah, I am having a good day a...Indeed, indeed! And muah, I am having a good day and hope you are as well! I did like Penrose; I thought his prose a little thick in spots, but this was not entirely unjustified by his subject matter. Which was mostly math. ;) So while he was a bit on the sententious side I was willing to put up with it for the sake of the ideas.<br /><br />That book looks fun, a little easier to read than Penrose and a little less touchy-feely on the subject than Gary Zukav, who kind of annoyed me the first time I tried to read him so I had to wait awhile and come back to him. <br /><br />Another good one, which comes at the topic tangentially, is Schneider's "A beginner's guide to constructing the universe". That one I don't remember if you read or not. It rules cause it doesn't delve so much into the weird stuff that makes some authors make crazy-sounding claims with the quantum physics; it's more about numbers themselves and the patterns in nature that show how numbers are used by life. Which is way more useful to know for actually taking advantage of the quantum physics stuff. XD not that the physics people will tell you that. They're more all about, "oo, this is theoretically possible and the math supports it and it's shiny!" Though I spose if they did try to tell you useful tech, they'd be afraid of getting lumped in with those spongy new-agey types who heard about the science and then leaped to a bunch of crazy conclusions and expect people to take their unsupported word that "this is how you do it." <br /><br />Which is a freaking shame because it seems to me this stuff is like the latest, coolest instance of science advancing sufficiently to include what was once called magic. Stuff which is part of the reality where we live should be studyable with science and careful thought, so people can use it, for good or for awesome!Fiat Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441862977921307080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918255.post-8707945950245776742010-03-06T23:56:12.553-06:002010-03-06T23:56:12.553-06:00Hello Dear,

I was checking out the books trying to decide whether or not to buy the webscription and the book The Science Behind the Secret http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439133395/1439133395.htm?blurb made me think of you because he mentioned that Penrose guy you read once. I can't remember if you liked Penrose and disliked his prose or the other way around. Hope you are having a good day.Amber Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639247040732640210noreply@blogger.com
