Christmas in April

It's here, it's here!
My friggin tape duper is here, huge, and awesome. I already made 3 copies of a Garth Brooks tape with it. Not even kidding (hey, I was at the parent's house).
So, now all that is left is finishing the recordings (going better than worse at the moment) and buying the tapes. Apparently I can get a gnarly deal t-shirts, then I just have to figure out tape inserts and how much that will set me back. And then tour! Things are good.

Anyone want me to put out their albums as tapes?

Guitar Trax

UGHGHGH. I just managed to get maybe 1 or 2 usable guitar tracks recorded for the upcoming Walk Home tape, and man was it frustrating. Not the actual playing, because playing guitar is the simps, but my damn recording setup is being an ass and a half, as represented by (||) + (| ... if you don't get it, you aren't 12.
Anyway, I dunno what is wrong with it, half the time it records fine, the other half the time it records mostly just a fuzzing sound and really harsh clicks. This is what I get for upgrading everything but my mixer, which is a damn important piece. Tomorrow I'm going to try and finish some of them up, but it is looking like we may have to cut it a song or two short in order to get this shit done. Ah well, gotta have something for the next one... right?

Re-do

So I just re-did anarchycap.com to make it more ready to be the host of my tape label, which goes by the same name for now (until I come up with something mega rad).
I was stoked to be asked by my long-time buddy Eric to release his other band Filth Mattress' second album. I dunno if they are doing a tape or just want to do the digital release on Anarchy Cap, but either way I am into it. I am probably going to have to switch webhosts soon, at least after tour, so I don't have to pay as much for storage. If you want info on all the music you will soon be able to get from here, go to anarchycap.com (if that isn't how you found this blog) and click on Bands on the left. That'll get you in the know.
Tape duplicator has come in the mail and is incredibly heavy. I have yet to test it because it is stuck on Vashon, the only place I can currently receive mail, especially of this size.
Also, I need a van. Well, I need a driver's license, then a van. Actually, van first. Got one for cheap?
I gotta go eat, I'm hella hungry. Til next time!
