So my subwoofer exploded last night…
…and freaked out Camden as we think he was standing by it (and next to our couch) so he could have some privacy while he pooped. The sub let out a series of growls, then POP! Nothing. It probably didn’t help Camden’s fear factor that I was playing Borderlands on …
MCP, now with more syndication!
On the heels of my new thoughts on re-branding, I have now setup aggregate posting from the Victim Cache and DJ Sweetums blogs to Moocow Productions! Turns out that it was easier than I thought it would be and will certainly help simplify things, as well as to provide one …
Time for a rebrand / refocus?
At this point, I am now maintaining 3 separate blogs, plus Facebook pages, plus Twitter feeds for myself plus our band (Victim Cache) and now my DJ stuff (DJ Sweetums). The reason for all the separation is because they are for distinctly different purposes (read: marketing) and lumping them under …
Mastering Engineers! Don’t do this, please!
Ya dicks. This is ridiculous: To be fair, Ableton Live tends to squish waveforms down a bit and make them look more dynamically compressed than they perhaps actually are. Even so, I taken a look at quite a few waveforms in Live from other digital tracks (such as when comparing …
How do digital and vinyl differ on dynamic range?

Today while on our way to Central Market (Corey wanted some polenta), we made a small detour so I could finally check out Hogwild Records, a local “mom and pop” record store in San Antonio. The original goal was to see if they had any good 12″ EDM singles. They …
Neil Young – Harvest [Vinyl Review]
A while ago a fellow reader of /r/vinyl was kind enough to send me Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours on vinyl. Included in that kind gift was a surprise album that turned out to be Neil Young’s Harvest. I have spun Harvest quite a few times but have not been able to …
Records, Records, Records! And Beer!
Well Christmas has come and gone. This year ours was rather different as it was the first year we had our family Christmas get-together at our house (we used to have it at G-Ma’s and the last few years at Corey’s mom’s). That also means it was the first year …
