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.

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."

Hope you all like this cover. It's one of the better ones I've done. I missed a couple of hit-accurate fills,...

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, ...

Today, I woke up at 6:00am, after getting a maximum of 4 hours of sleep (and it would only be 4 hours if I wasn't woken up in the middle of the night multiple times, which I was, so it was actually less)
I prayed before I went to bed that I would be able to survive the day and get everything done that needed doing.
Anyway, I woke up at 6,...

Gentoo / Gnome USB Automount

PoeticIntensity
Interesting that in verses 22 and 23, Amulek states that if they got rid of the righteous, they would ultimately be destroyed. That's a sad prophecy, which unfortunately comes true. They not only got rid of the righteous, they killed them - and swift was the judgement of God upon this whole city.
That's it for this chapter....
