On the Up and Up

So a couple days ago me and my buddy Eric did some researchin into the fine world of Cassette Tape Duplication. Fun! Turns out it isn't really that much cheaper than cds though. Not fun. So, a solution was in need.
Thus I turned to ebay to buy my own tape duplicator thinking they'd be like an hundred bucks. Boy was I dead ass wrong. The damn things are 600 dollars and up... used! We almost gave up when I came across this beauty


It doesn't look like much, but this piece of equipment usually runs over $1000 new, and I picked it up for $150 bucks, shipped. This is a 1-to-7 tape duper, hell yes! That's only 15 runs through per 100. BANGIN!
So I'm stoked. Now I just have to figure out how the hell one gets rid of tapes locally (I dunno how many stores would take them) and start a neato little tape label or something.
Other plans for this is to have little slips of paper come with all the tapes leading to a website that you can download the album from just in case you want a digital copy for burning cds or mp3 player purposes (or if you're like me and sit around listening to music on your computer all day).

tl;dr: I'm stoked.

I Love Distraction

Just to make the recording and touring of my other band even harder, I've decided to start another band to preemptively strike at the other band breaking up once we all hate each other on the road... just kidding. But I have had another idea for a solo project that I hope will blossom into a beautiful child of a full band. If I play guitar in it and don't just do vocals (which is the plan) then it just needs a bassist, another guitarist, and a keyboard player and horn player that don't mind not playing anything on some parts/songs. Drums will most likely get taken care of by my buddy and soon to be room mate Nick (currently drums in said 'other band' The Walk Home) and my buddy Cosmo might fill in the other guitar or keyboard/horn slots.
Blah blah blah, without further ado, The New League of Punk Rock Heroes.
As a side note, if you were in a band called that ^^^ what would you call your house? I'm trying to think of something rad to throw to the table for my next living situation.
