Who Is Jacques?

Jacques, the saucy feline below has come to join me in my new position as web designer for the Palm Beach County Library System.  For those that didn’t know or perhaps know me through the music business I’ve been working for PBCLS for close to two years now, but was just promoted to lead the entire site re-design and re-launch of the library system’s website.  Perhaps I’ll talk about it a bit here, or perhaps I’ll be so frantically busy that I won’t be heard from on this blog for another year (as is the trend recently).

Jacques is another story for another time, but is pictured here.

aidez-moi. cet endroit est fou.

I’m probably going to take the plunge and start using it occasionally ..

Doing the Limbo in Purgatory

Still in limbo on a lot of fronts, e.g. musical work, website mischief, etc.  I decided to let the whenaissance.com domain lapse because I simply didn’t have time for it at the moment.  I still think it’s a stellar idea, so perhaps some day it will again be a possibility, but there’s just too many other things (that are admittedly less fun) that take a higher priority right now.

Working 40 or more hours a week is a chunk of time, but on top of that I’m trying to work toward an MFA in Creative Writing (and have a loong way to go) so only time will tell if I get a chance to put anything together musically and/or website related.

I have been listening to a lot of music lately, but the dancier stuff still often leaves me flat.  Much of what I’m enjoying is fairly commercial in nature, but still quite good.  Rediscovering Portishead a bit with their new upcoming third album soon, which I have heard, and perhaps I’ll post about it soon.  Also listening to a lot of Marsmobil who I think are fantastic.  And, as always, much Ulrich Schnauss.

Until next time.. ..  ..

The Periodic "I'm Still Here" Post

Yes.  Still Here.  Still resisting the temptation to unleash my abilities in the service of good, bad, or both at the same time (no, I’m not bisexual – this is all theoretical).

Perhaps at some point.  Or at no point.  Or at a continuum of points.

Or perhaps a combination of the three.

But I’m still here.

Undergroove

Apparently Undergroove is off.  I don’t know the details, but it looks like it’s just not happening.

EDIT: Apparently Undergroove is back *on* again, but I can’t do it because it’s too short notice for me to shift gears again.  Hopefully they’ll have me back again in the next month or so.

Underground Nistro

Okay, so I’ve decided to end my long self-imposed DJing exile by doing a set at Underground Nistro in downtown West Palm Beach.  It’ll be May 4th, which is a Friday.  This is the Friday of Sunfest and the venue is basically right there in the same area.

It’ll be a 100% laptop set.  I am unpredictable and unique.  I may never DJ again, or I may DJ a lot after doing this.  Come help me decide.

I’ll post some more details in a day or two.

.silence.

i have been quiet i know.

but here’s a little something.

goodbye

Nadia Ali/Runaway

Nadia AliCheck out Nadia Ali’s new site (from iiO) with some exceptional backing music, if I do say so myself. ;) I’m currently working on an edit version of my mix of ‘Runaway’ for them to use in live shows. It’ll be just a pared down version of the regular mix, but I’m going to try and put in a couple surprises since I know it will be specifically for live performance use.
