I have one of the new tracks I was working on uploaded. The recording is pretty rough and was done in mono (not neccisarily a bad thing).

This isnt a finished product so I didnt bother to really put any post-recording editing into it, but I would like to hear your feedback none the less. The song is on soundclick.com

Some of you may or may not know this but I am a moderator over at .:Serious-Sounds.net:.
About two days ago our servers were attacked and an unknown hacker modified the SQL code of our forums and in essence making them useless. Thankfully the support staff for our forum software was able to quickly bring us back up to speed and repair the problem.

One of our administrators noticed what appears to be a trend of attacks across the music production community target towards music production forums.

Approximately a month ago the popular forum .:Samplecity.net:. was successfully hacked and down for about ten days. That forum has been attacked again about five days ago and remains down at the time of this writing.

Upon further investigation by various people I know we have determined that several other forums have now been hacked as well or are featuring problems.

The ambient forum .:Ambient Collective:. was also attacked about a month ago and went down for a few days.

Last week .:Loopcreators:. mysteriously went down and appears to remain down at this point

The list of other forums attacked the we have been able to uncover thus far is as follows.

.:Loopy.tk:.
.:Fltutorials.com:.
.:FLstudio-tutorials.com:.

I ask anyone who reads this to please pass the word on throughout the community to create awareness. If you are a moderator or an administrator of a music community please make sure your site is updated and backed up.

(Update)- Upon further investigation and posting around some other boards it seems that many other forums are continuing to experience a trend in attacks.

.:midwestmassive:. was attacked.
.:Serious-Sounds.net:. was attacked a second time and was taken down for about 12 hours.
.:VI-Control:. Was attacked and down.
.:Papergoose:. Was attacked

We have also notice that many of these sites appear to have a user named Kampo, or some variation of that name. There is no proof that he/she is associated in any way, with the attacks, but the coincidence begs to question.

I happened to come across this online comic today entitled "No Where Girl" by and artist named Justin Shaw. The currently has two comics online (for free).

This is a great dark little comic following the life of a young girl. It is not an action comic, but does address some nice themes. The artwork is very good and features that modern American style that has hints of anime.

Definitely worth the read for a few minutes of your life.

Well I was not has productive as I wanted to be today. I only got 2 tracks recorded, and to be honest only 1 of them is probably going to make the final cut.

I should have them uploaded by Wednesday of this week.

For the past few weeks I have been watching the Olympic games on television. I am a hardcore Olympic fan and love watching them every couple of years, but I am personally a huge fan of the winter Olympics.

As the Olympics this year have played out I have become aware of the lack of attentionpaid to the games by popular American society. There also seems to be a general missunderstanding by many American athletes as to the pupose of the Olympic games. While other countries regard their Olympic athletes as hero's, the American athletes are largely forgotten after the games have ended. Their short lived fame is punctuated by an effort to garner as much endorsement cash as they can before their light burns out.

While the oylmpic coverage presents us with detailed stories chronicling the lives of many of these atheletes and their struggle just to be in the games, I see the TV ratings demonstrating that the American public is much more interested in the pre-packaged reality TV of American Idol or Survivor instead real life stories of people overcoming obstacles.

To make matters worse we have athletes in our ranks that have an attitude like Shani Davis who have seem to missed the entire point of the Olympics. The Olympics were envisioned as a competition where athletes come to represent their country and compete on behalf of their country. The purpose was to have competition instead of war between states and countries. Instead we have pure self indulgence. The honor of the American athletes should be that they brought a medal, back to America not to their own homes.

Thank goodness at least some American respect and dignity is saved by some truly sincere American atheletes like Apolo Anton Ohno. I am sure there are many more in those ranks, but unfortunatly due to NBC's decision to cover only about four events each night during prime-time I was unable to see them.

Well I am quite excited actually for tomorrow. I hope to dive in and lock the door to get some good recording done. While I have been writing music I have not had the time to actually sit down and record the stuff.

The goal is to get at least 3 tracks recorded tomorrow. With any luck I should have them mixed and posted online by next week sometime.

Here is a Re-Post of links to my live sets thus far. The orginal pos was lost in the blog change over. So much for perma links huh?
