It's been a long time in coming. And that is 100% my fault. You see, I forgot to check my rocktastica email for a really, really, really, really long time. Of course it was overflowing with fanmail. Anyway, greetings from October 2009, rock music fans!!!! And get a load of this one:
Write a song about your home state or the state you live in.
I'm thinking of teaming up with Rhett Miller and the Dixie Chicks on this one. Or Dave Matthews (oh yeah, I said it). Or Bon Jovi. Depending on which state I pick.
But not really. Because as you all know in this contest you can only team up with yourself (I cheated once but that doesn't make it right). You also have to make a simple one-track recording. Winner gets to be on the cover of the past winners compilation record, which will include the following stellar tracks of yesteryear, probably performed by one of the stars of American Idol:
Ostrich
Yo, the lady who
Cardboard on the Dance Floor
I Ain't Afraid to Love You
Also, the winner chooses the next challenge. Send entries to rocktastica at gmail dot com. Entries are due by Summer Solstice, which everyone knows is Jun 21 2010 at 7:28 AM EDT.
p.s., Yes there is a little leeway on the one track rule. If you are having serious volume discrepancy issues then two tracks is okay. But no producing other than adjusting the volume or the "level" as you sound aficionados say.

Yes, working from home with a baby is pretty hard. Luckily I had some babysitting help yesterday. But, thawing out the brain from its deep freeze is requiring some effort. You know, I can write and edit non-technical stuff too! Anyone want to give me a job not related to computer systems? Anyone? Listen to me, I can complain about anything. Wah freaking wah, I'm worse than little a.
In the meantime, enjoy some pics from little a's 5 month photo shoot. Very professional, of course. Though her grandparents were very impressed by her hair at birth I think you can see it's pretty thin here. She pulls off the little old man look very well, though. Don't you just want to give her a hug? I'm trying to teach her to give hugs but I think it may take a while.
