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,

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, ...

Wow... 3rd Nephi 17. This has been one of my top 5 all-time favorite scriptural chapters since I first read it when I was 14. I love it.
The first 6 verses, to me, envelop the love Christ has for us, and the appreciation He must feel when we show our grattitude toward Him. There were no words uttered by his audience, yet H...

Staying True to Yourself
PoeticIntensity
One other thing I've been thinking about lately is a lesson I learned a long time ago. This lesson is summarized into one sentence:
Being true to God in no way diminishes your being true to yourself, simply because God knows how the *best* "you" is.
I was talking with one of my brothers when he said "But if I become 'churchy'...

Since the studio's new shining star arrived, we've been having a lot of fun around here.

MythTV Basement Home Theater

About 2 years ago I got this hairbrained idea to use mythtv to create a computer-based full-media center for my basement home theater. At the time, I had a sweet side-job which was paying me nicely, so I had the means to do pretty much exactly what I wanted.
I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...
