ahhhh, there comes a time in a young man's life when goes from boy to man. that event my friends happened last night. the event im talking about is of course my first time.....seeing blade runner. amazing film. says so much about technology and where humanity is headed with it and the scary thing is it was made in 1982 and looks pretty damn good still. im a sucker for the "lonersemicyberpunkbadass" main character (which harrison ford sets the bar for those to come ie. neo etc) plus he likes noodles. im thinking about naming a band "deckard" but i guess its stereotypical for electronic bands to have something to do with bladerunner. hmm nevermind i just googled it and its some swedish metal band on reprise records.... anywhos, today i chatted with jeremy ylvisaker (guitar player from the fog and excellent producer/studiowiz) he gave me some good advice about mics and preamps and got me all worked up and inspired. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm k bye
