Love Is A Scary Thing
February 14th, 2010
I was just being nostalgic about 2007. That year had a specific mood about it. Me and Walter were working on our Transit Venus album, and things in general were just...different. We had some good times. One of those good times was in March of that year. Me, Walter, Teddy, and a mutual friend of ours then named Glen Ashlee hung out to brainstorm about ideas and things of the sort. Glen grabbed the guitar and started doodling as usual. We then eventually started to sing with him and this very amusing song (if you can call it that) came about called "Love Is A Scary Thing". It's pretty hilarious, actually. I had my muppet voice going and I couldn't help but laugh at Walter's tomfoolery. Ahhhh 2007. You were special.
Anyway, I decided to share this funny song with all of you in the spirit of Valentine's Day. I used to be a semi-grouch on this commercial holiday, but hey! Let's make the most of these commercial holidays. They are an excuse to buy chocolate you don't see the rest of the year (heheh).

I know some of you have been waiting to hear the next Pedestrian License episode. We promise you, it's coming! We'll probably be recording one this week! By the way, we really appreciate all of the support. Pedestrian License has been gaining popularity and we've been getting downloaded more frequently. Amazing!
Actually, there are a lot of good things going on at the moment that I can't really say just yet. All I can say is progress is being made w/ my solo project. I really have a good feeling about it. I'll be posting updates on that project here, along with other unrelated material as usual. Also, as some of you may already know, Teddy and I are called Bad Life Plus Gadgets when we come together to work on remixes, and other projects that we feel are appropriate under that name. We haven't released anything just yet, but you can hear our Logan Lynn remix for "Write It On My Left Arm" below! We'll be working on fun stuff for you guys to hear. There are some unfinished ideas, if you will. By the way, Logan Lynn's album is now available to buy at Walmart and Target if you're interested and want to get a physical copy from a physical store. Remember, Logan Lynn's album was produced entirely by Carlos Cortes of Assemble the Empire who is working with me on my project (along with Asteroid Belt), so it would be good to give it a listen.
One more thing before I end this here update blog-I've created a SoundCloud page (CLICK HERE) where I've posted instrumentals I've worked on in the past including one I did last week. I'll be posting random music doodles on there to ease the itch of making musics while other things are going on. You can find Carlos and Teddy there on my "following" section to the right. Hope you enjoy, and have a lovely Valentine's Day all. Everyday the 14th!

Almost Back To Life
September 22nd, 2009Wow, it seems I've really neglected this here blog through my life transitions.
New blogs on the way! I didn't forget about this here. I've just been more in my brain than out. Preparing to get out. I must say though, I'm so glad the Summertime is almost over. It's always difficult for me to be my normal self in the Summer. I feel myself coming back to life with the cool air. Mmmmmm.

Oh wait. It's the 22nd. Summer is OVER! Happy Autumn Equinox!
"Sounds Like Love"
April 15th, 2009It's time I write about some music! Mmmhmm. I know what ya' thinkin'. You're thinking "Where's Ped. Lic. 8?" Well, Teddy! and I tried to record on Saturday night when we were bombarded by interruptions creating a completely unsalvageable podcast. So, with that said, we'll get our shite together and record something steady and pleasant for you to giggle at pretty soon! Perhaps sooner than you think. Now on to some education.
Logan Lynn "From Pillar To Post"

Logan Lynn. That's a name you'll be seeing a lot in the near future. This Portland-based artist has recently completed a beautifully layered orchestration soon to be available for your hungry ears. There's a duality to the general sound of the album, as a lot of it is dark, but at the same time colorful and melodic. Excellent production by Carlos Cortes of Assemble the Empire, and beautiful delivery by Logan Lynn. He tends to swim through the many layers of this delicious musical cake. Yeah, I said it! The album will be released later this year, and I will definitely be updating you on that. In the meantime, listen to "Burning Your Glory" below — my personal favorite, and a video of "Feed Me To The Wolves" for your enjoyment.

Listen to the album version of this song on Logan Lynn's MySpace page. It's magical!
Fun Fact: Carlos Cortes is currently working on the "Mind Traffic" EP with me. It's gonna' be great. We promise.
Jade "It's My Heart, Cookie"

Since its release on April 1st as a free download on Jade's MySpace page, "It's My Heart, Cookie" has been finding a new home inside many people's mp3 players. It surely has in mine! It's no surprise when you give her EP a first listen. She has a very distinct, pleasant voice, and her musical style is a sweet blend of R&B, Pop, and Rock. Tastes like black tea with milk and 3 sugars. Check out her promo video below, and do download the EP. It's FREE!
Fun Fact: Jade attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School (yes, the FAME school) like me. Except I was an art major. Bet you didn't know THAT!
Dan Black "Winter"

The mention of this album is long overdue. Teddy! and I always talk about it, but I somehow never wrote about it. So here it is. Dan Black's "Winter". I've been listening to this album for quite some time now, as its release was in 2005. You can currently buy it from iTunes or CD Baby. It's well worth the purchase! The whole album is Dan's interpretation of Winter through instrumentals which produce digital love. Drink Hot Cocoa below. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Fun Fact: Dan Black lives in my building, and just yesterday I bumped into him and told him I'd be writing a blog about this album soon. He said "If you're going to do that, why don't you wait for the new one, then?" Sorry, Dan. I had to show "Winter" some real attention on this blog.
-In Conclusion-
To conclude this here blog about music, I wanted to share some 8 bit love with you. Check out these songs from Radiohead's "In Rainbows" converted into 8 bit instrumentals. Man, these make me wanna' play that Radiohead game that doesn't exist. Sooooo goooood! Enjoy!

I don't know why this one makes me feel like playing Kid Icarus on Nintendo, but I love it!
