WHERE IS YOUR DOG NOW?

well I thought it was clever....

f'ing plagerists

I just realized that those matrix movies from a couple years ago....

are based on a pink floyd song.


I mean, seriously.

weird startrek dream

OHMYGOD i TOTALLY JUST REMEMBERED THIS TOTALLY BITCHING DREAM i HAD!

So I was on the starship enterprise. well, I *think* it was, because there were a lot of characters from star wars, but they were all dressed different and had different haircuts and picard had a beard.(with a orange plastic vest over a thermal shirt) some people were wearing the regular star command outfit, and some had more eclectic (casual?) outfits. more like how people on fishing boats might dress but the main focus of the dream is that there was this weird animal mass of tentacles growing on the ship. It was ensnaring people and also seemed to metabolize the very air it's self. NOW, the reason I was on the enterprise is unclear, but what was clear is that I was pulled out of my original time. For apparently no reason whatsoever, I knew how to kill the monster. the monster was sensitive to some chemical that are in potatoes (?). So I run to the food replicator, and to my dismay, potatoes in the future are apparently the size of a child. but I hoist it over my head anyway and begin to run through the halls. Everyone was looking at me like I had lost my mind, but I seemed to know what I was doing. I doged people zapping and being eaten by the monster and go down the hall. I ran for about 2 min with this damn potato, looking for the back of the monster.(the most sensitive part apparently) I get there, and I heave the potato with all my might, then I ran like hell before the monster could notice who threw it. by the time I get around to the front of the hall (where the monster's tentacles were) it seems that the alien had seemingly evaporated. Captain picard is congratulating me and seems a bit senile. the fact that his orange plastic vest is stuffed with tootsie roll pops is not helping. (why am I dreaming this?!) I mention that I need to get back to my time to play a performance, and I need my computer back (which is there too for some reason) Picard says "oh, you don't need that anymore" and comically zaps the desktop computer on a desk behind him and theres a tiny puff of smoke and a huge burn mark, some redshirt was using it, and looks startled, then disappointed when it gets vaporized. Picard then hands me the future model of the ipod, which is capable of playing AND making music, and informs me that my files are on there. (I also notice that ableton live is on there. so I walk through the portal window directly onto an outdoor stage on a pretty summer day where 20-30 people await me. And then it's understood that I "rock out" in a 90's afterschool special fashion.

(the picture has nothing to do with the dream, I just thought it was funny.)

My life has changed drastically for the better.

DUDE IS SERIOUS

YO! LOLZ I'M JUST LETTIN fools KNOW WHU i B RIGHT?~!

My name is John Verchot.
I'm 23 and I live in decatur AL with my pregnant wife. (Judah Verchot will debut sometime in the next 2 weeks!)
I work as customer support for LG electronics. (our monitors are really great!)
I am a roman catholic.
I make music, and I hope I can sell all 500 of my albums when I make them.

I can't tour obviously since I'm a family man, so I often wonder why I'm even making an album. Is it futile? Should I let the dream die? People tell me I'm pretty good at what I do, and my peers that make music sometimes ask me for advise, so that makes me feel fairly confident about what I do. I've done about 8 or so live shows in the surrounding area, in Huntsville and chattanooga, so I wouldn't say I'm inexperienced.

From a lifestyle standpoint, how do indie musicians tour at all? how can they put things like jobs and rent on hold for (I assume about a month)
Do they only do it once a year?
I doubt that through the internet alone, that one can sustain a music career. I got an ok start for a "myspace musician" I have a track on vinyl on this obscure french label called "peace off records" (even though I don't really make breakcore anymore)

What I REALLY want, is to be a one hit wonder. I want to have a #1 dance hit somewhere. I wouldn't mind so much if I never had another hit.
I wonder if I'll get 1/4th of that far...

awaiting samples from printer.

so I'm looking at jkd printing for my pressing. Jason (friend, and head of Fantasy Violence Records) says it's important that the underside of the cd does NOT look like a burned cd, so the current step is waiting for the samples to come. I hope they look good, because no-one else is as cheap as them.

Does it matter? Is high quality sleeves in a standard size clear jewel case enough? the disc is gonna have black thermal printing, and I can't really afford anything other than that...

Here's a rough(ish) version of a song that's gonna be on the album
J-chot : Rave1 calling Disco Control.

The thing's gonna be allover the place.

Some tracks are mash-up house, some are straight techno, and some are breakcore/hardcore.

I'm a little worried.
