Boo podcasts So I listened to my normal contigent of podcasts this week, and not a single awesome track was heard that week.  It's probably the first week in a while that that has happened.  Oh well, I guess it gives me time to familiarize myself with some of the stuff I already bought.  Also, I still have, like, 100 tracks in my any.do list to sort through. Plllusss...Mat Zo tonight!  Last week I went to see Maor Levi, Audien, and Morgan Page.  Morgan Page was the headliner, but I thought Audien was more fun.  Anyway, it's nice to have big names come through so frequently for inspiration.  The nice thing is: last week was a friday night.  I left halfway through Morgan's set cuz I was just beat from work.  This week: saturday.  I can throw in a nap, and rock face through the whole show. Also, been thinking  a lot about gear.  My tops suck.  I mean...they're fine for the price, but if I have to do a larger gig than about 200 people I will smoke them.  So I've

Brown Santa Paid a visit last night dropping of a GTHAudio wireless mic setup.  Two standard mics + 2 lapel and/or headset mics.  Some reviews suggested that this was the best of the cheap chinese knockoffs.  Shit, they even call their mics sm58s.  If that's not a rip of the shure sm58 mic (and industry standard) I don't know what is.  Anyway.  Plugged it all in, and it works great.  I don't plan to do a lot of work that requires a mic, but I am doing this wedding, and it'll be nice to be able to mic up the nuptials (100 guests might not be able to hear) as well as have a piece of shit mic I can pass around when people start giving drunken toasts that I don't care if it gets dropped.  I mean...this wedding is at a brewery.

So here's an idea Obviously I haven't used this blog in forever.  For anything.  When I originally made it, I was hoping it'd give me some accountability for weight loss.  it failed.  On the bright side, in the intermediate years, I managed to unass 20 lbs.  Yay.  Now I'm just mostly fat instead instead of totally fat.  BUT, that journey is still under weigh (heh).  There's nothing to really talk about though. I eat the same shit week in and week out, and do a full body workout 3 days a week.  It doesn't change enough to bother blogging about. Soooo....I'm repurposing this to talk about DJ'ing. One of the treats of my diet is Sunday morning I get starbucks.  I'm using my time there to create tracklists for the mixes I upload to my mixcloud account (www.mixcloud/com/ChubbyRacer).  So I figured in addition to that, I'll blog about the mixes.  My mixes frequently contain mistakes as I'm playing with stuff...different effects, looping, str
