Recording Jeff Felix's "Peculiar"
AudioGuru
Picking up new clients is always a good thing, but in the case of yesterday, it was a great thing.
I had the privilege of recording his new song, Peculiar, and it was very refreshing. It was a simple tune with some great acoustic guitar work, and vocals. Jason Jones added some percussion accents, and the song came to life.
Knowing...

Alma : 48
PoeticIntensity
I was just looking at the timestamp on these chapters, and realized that Amalickiah went from being a Nephite citizen, to the king over the entire Lamanite nation in approximately 1.5 years. How freaking crazy is that?
Also, one thing I failed to mention about chapter 47 is the last verse. A very interesting verse, that is. Once...

Drum Cover - Pat Benatar : Heartbreaker
Drummer
Playing this song was a joy, until I realized I'd been playing wrong for so many years. Trying to do the cover as a true cover was freakin' hard for this song. I hope I did it justice, though. There were a few points where I totally fubbed hits, but there were only a few.
So... Here it is. Let me know what ya think....

Alma : 47 - Continuing The Hate
PoeticIntensity
Man... Amalickiah... I'm more and more convinced that this guy is the epitome of evil in the flesh. I wonder what would have happened with the entire history of the Nephites had Captain Moroni caught Amalickiah, when he was chasing him and his armies last chapter.
I really believe that had he been caught (and appropriately dealt with), much...

Wow... When I wrote this in March of 2009,
"During this year, I both think and feel (logically and spiritually) I will be stretched more than I've been stretched in years. This one's gonna be a toughy. As for now, I feel anxiously optimistic. Yup.. That about hits it on the head."

Will the craziness ever end? I thought for sure, I'd be too busy today to do another cover, but around 4:00pm, I got bored, the kids were occupied or asleep, and my wife was reading, so... Down to the studio I go!
Hope you all like this cover. It's one of the better ones I've done. I missed a couple of hit-accurate fills,...

Drum Cover : SR-71 - Right Now

I guess I can't get enough of these covers. I had no intention of doing one tonight, but I was so in the mood, I ripped this out on the 2nd take.
I take a lot of liberties on this, and there are a few slight timing issues, but I thought it was a great show of the "groove" inside music.
Good times.

Good times. I thought this one would be tough, but I've played it so many times over the past decade, it came back to me rather quickly.
In the ending, there were quite a few hiccups, but I thought it turned out quite nicely.

Alma : 46 - Amalickiah
PoeticIntensity
Haven't even started reading this yet, and I know I'm in for a doozie. Amalickiah, in my estimation, is one of the truest Nehor-ites in existence. Absolutely no morals, no regard for anyone but himself - even if it means killing many people who he claims to love. One of the most dispicable humans ever to live on earth. Now, ...

Ya know... One thing which really irks me is when someone tells me "I can't", for whatever reason.
I'm not exactly sure, either, since there really are things which we cannot do, such as transmutate ourselves to become vultures. I don't believe I've ever met a person who has become a vulture, although, that would mean that he...
