Man! These posts will just keep being huge if I keep skipping three months in between them. I will probably post almost every day in the summer, though; I'll be really bored. Lots to talk about today... let's see. Well, I discovered Virtual DJ software which is quite fun, but on the downside I have only got a trial version which will run out in 16 days, and the songs I create with it can't be shared on Soundclick because they contain samples of other people's songs. I can assure you, however, that they sound awesome. Speaking of summer, I've got big plans for mine, a trip to Europe (maybe), finishing my album, which I've decided I will call Verbally Busted Skills, establishing a counterculture among my peers, buying lots of new music (I still have some new albums I haven't yet listened to, but I suppose I'll have plenty of time to listen to music), and chilling. I have a Facebook profile now, so if you want you can be my friend. I recorded some videos and an album with my band Overlode, a few songs of whom appear on our SoundClick page, one song featuring Vanilla Bean Speck. That song was especially fun to create. I have also recorded "solo" music on Magic GarageBand, the best one being my slow blues song, "My Woman Is Gone." It's all awful though. I've written lyrics for my entire VBS album now, and am recording a song with my cousin Bredd Loaf over email. I've been doing an "ISearch" research project, which I believe is a requirement for 8th-Graders. It's the most fun and the only useful thing we've done in Core class all year. My topic is the history of piano technology, which is way more interesting than it sounds. There's a great book about it, where I got most of my information. Other people had more inspired topics though. Did you know that the guy who invented the piano made so little money off of it that he went back to making harpsichords? There's also an interview involved, which I've already done, but it's a real pain to transcribe. Well, that's all for now, but I will probably post again today.
