Gettin some clips of tracks and beats together for download as ringtones on smart phones (click here). It's a little sketchy at the moment - Unless you're really fancy with tech stuff, I think you're going to have to download it on the computer, and then import it onto your phone.

Soon, it'll be a one click thing from your phone.

Give it a try and let me know if it gives you trouble in the meantime.  Also, drop us a line and let us know what you wanna hear.

Be Cool Babe!

When I was in middle school, I met Jared and Caleb who had just moved in one house away from me in Diane Place. Both were, and still are, avid and extremely talented musicians. Their dad, Art, really motivated all of us to pursue music from the very beginning, way before I made my first beat or Chris wrote his first verse.  Rest his soul.

It's the passion that drives you, but you are the one that holds the wheel. 
Just make sure you know where you're going.

Yes.  That's right.  So, watch out.

Along with trying to do 20 other important and related things, we should have a fully functional site (separate from this one) to host some of the old stuff we've recorded in the past.  I was thumbing through some of the material - then my earballs exploded.

Just a reminder (though I know this place ain't exactly poppin yet), anyone can sign in at the Community tab to talk all the nonsense you want using any of your several existing logins -- Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc.  

So get on it.  People ain't gonna talk shit themselves, right?

There aren't many people who can say they've had such a genuine, best friend as far back as they can remember.  I was fortunate enough to be blessed with Chris.  This is just in case they got internet where you at, my dogg:

I admire you, man.  Always have.  You are very different from anybody I've ever met.  I don't know if it's because I've known you for so long or if you're just that cool, but there's always been something about you.  There's a part of me that wants you back as a person, but right away, I can still feel that something following me around really close.  

It hurts, dude, just the pain of knowing that this part of our ride together is over.  We used to talk about everything we wanted to do in the future and just knowing that most of that stuff is completely impossible now makes me really sad.  I know you wouldn't want me whining about the past, but deal with it.  Unlike you, I'm still human.  One day when our spirits are together, both in their purest forms, you can make fun of me for it.  

Until then, give me strength.  I never thought I'd have to do any of this without you, but I was foolishly mistaken.  It's past time for me to put the things you've taught me to action.  Give me guidance so that I may always strive to do what's right in this world.  I'm incredibly proud of you, Chris, and can only hope to one day live this life with the same fullness and ambition as you.  

Sorry it's taken so long to write this, you kinda mean a lot to me dogg.  Stay close, brotha.  See you soon.

The Akai MPC has been and is still regarded as a benchmark in sampler/sequencers. 

Check out the entire series from Akai here.

Talked with Nev today, said we're going to start shooting within the next few weeks. 

We'll keep everybody posted!

"On 310, that freeway,
Lead down to the swamps where we stay."

Get ready.
