Resurrecting Punk Rebel Renegade, Pt. 3

If you wanted me to lazily continue from the last installment, sorry. I’m going to talk about copyright stuff. Let me start by saying I’m totally cool with how this works. I’m not going to fight it. I’m not going to even complain about it. But there are 2 songs on Punk Rebel Renegade that feature some copyrighted content. I […]

Resurrecting Punk Rebel Renegade, Pt. 2

Last week, I left you with a cliffhanger. It was late 2010, and the words “Punk Rebel Renegade” entered my brain when I felt the need to explain why my guitar strap was extended so far. My explanation for wearing my guitar low was because I was a punk rebel renegade. An hour later, I had decided that would be […]

Resurrecting Punk Rebel Renegade, Pt. 1

This series isn’t going to be nearly as long (or probably as entertaining or informative) as the Recording Heat Stroke series, but I’ll do my best to keep it interesting. So over 4 years ago, I “released” an album called Punk Rebel Renegade. And by “released” I mean…burned the songs to a CD, listened to it myself, had a couple […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 14

It’s safe to say that recording for Heat Stroke is done. This STILL isn’t that post that I’ve been alluding to for months, talking about each song all in depth and whatever. But there’s still some meaty news to talk about, maybe, probably. I figured it was worth talking about the process of mastering and even the album art, since […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 13

Long time no blog. It’s hard to figure out everything that has happened since the last blog. The most momentous event to happen is the preparation for mastering. If I wasn’t clear about it before, I’m definitely getting Heat Stroke mastered. It’s something that I’ve never done or even knew much about until a week or so ago.

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 12

You may have noticed a delay in this going up. Nobody reads these things, but I’m sorry anyway. Last week, one of my eyes got super irritated from my contact or something and so I was half-blind for the whole week. Not being able to see inhibits my ability to see a computer screen. So I couldn’t work on music […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 11

Apologies for this blog going up late, but there’s a good reason for it. Just to catch everyone up, I imposed a deadline on myself on recording. That deadline was the end of September. There were some reasons for that; some were reasonable and others were arbitrary. Regardless, one of the biggest reasons reared its ugly head about a month […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 10

Here we are in week 10 of recording of Heat Stroke. In last weeks blog, I said it would be the second to last one in this Recording Heat Stroke series. But then I realized I plan on working on new songs until September 30th. So there will still be new stuff to talk about next week. It’s also possible […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 9

Alright, this should be the second to last entry in my Recording Heat Stroke blog series. Since last time I wrote in here, I touched up all of the previous songs, and more notably, I have started working on a new song, a sad one, If you’re not familiar with my catalog, then you might not know that I don’t […]

Recording Heat Stroke, Pt. 8

Welcome to another installment of Recording Heat Stroke! Surprise! This one isn’t actually going to be about recording though. Well, maybe a little bit, but mostly it’s going to be about what’s going to happen after it gets recorded. I’ve never been one to talk about any of my albums, or even any of my songs. One of the reasons […]
