Retribution Gospel Choir (featuring Alan Sparhawk of Low) is giving away a free digital download EP on their website. Thought some of you might want to know.
So last week Kickstarter approved my campaign, but I was waiting to launch it until I made a video & all that. Today I got an email that they were changing their submission process & I would have to re-submit. Crap.
I have been working on a bunch of video stuff the past couple of days. I really hate how rendering takes an hour & then uploading can take a day. I’ll let you know when any of it comes to fruition.
Last night’s show was fun. It did have some issues to me as I was under the impression it was an early-ish show (it was listed on the Facebook page as 8-12, which is pretty reasonable for a Monday) but ending up being from 9:30 until 2am. & a lot of time between performers & some sets maybe going a little long. The Remora set was about 12 minutes, which I’m willing to admit is on the short side. I’ll post the video tomorrow.
I’ve been obsessed with this story about a guy who gave up eating & drank five beers a day through Lent. It reminds me of when I was 23 & was living off of tequila & vodka & would end up throwing up when I ate solids. I think that was when I had already bulked up to 103 pounds (I was 98 when I graduated high school) . Meanwhile people think I’m skinny now at 120.
get new computer homes.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s really the computer as much as me not knowing how to use the damn software. I mean clearly when I cut five minutes out of a video it’s not supposed to be ten times the size of the original. I am ending up with these ten gig files. I guess I should get a book on Adobe Premiere (the software I just started using, mainly because it can open Quicktime files & that’s the native format of my camera & when I upload actual QT files to YouYube it mis-aligns the audio (& it tells me it’s a known problem when uploading the format)).
get new silber IT helpdesk.
the footage you shot of us at Slim’s is about 40min and sits at 8gig. So if you’re not exaggerating, then yeah you need to do soemthing about your preferences.
I have an 11 minute one from Monday that is 2.75 gigs edited. Unedited it is 258 megs. So yeah, I’m doing something wrong for sure.
