Memory Lapse 2.26.09 – CELEBRATION!!
So, I’m not typically for celebrating weird little events and stuff (note that it’s the end of February and I just realized what I’m about to say), but I thought I’d just say I completed last year’s goal 😀
I started out January ’08 with a mission to mix at least one CD a month.  That started out as my If at First series.  Those CDs are purposely themed.  A CD should have definite flow and purpose.  I got 6 of them done.  I was working on the 7th when I had the idea of broadcasting live.  I was first thinking of just an audio broadcast, but being a geek, I craved something more.  So that’s when the search for a video application began, ending with Ustream (who has, apparrently upgraded their servers/network 😀 ) which provides chat, too.  PERFECT!
So in July, I started Memory Lapse.  Twice a month I’d spin live for 2 hours.  Definitely more content than a 70 minute CD once a month.  Once in a while, I would do bonus shows, live-remote house parties, or just turn the camera on and practice with a few friends listening and chatting.  The show quickly went from twice a month to weekly!  Some shows have been good, some have been amazing.  There’s a lot to get used to when you have to play for 2 hours every week.  If I was getting paid for it, I’d buy more music a lot more easily, but as it is, I have to be careful with my music selection.  That, hopefully, is in the process of changing 😉
So regardless, I have way more than the 12, 70 minute recordings that I was initially going for. Â And I’d like to thank a few people:
- monk doc, the moj, and the civ for just being you and letting me be me
- the901 for harassing me until I started DJing again
- eldanen for all the support and, i’m pretty sure, not missing a show yet
- werd for letting me drag my equipment to his place and do parties there
- hiroshi for the name Memory Lapse
- teki for being my arch-nemesis… but still cool!
- and everyone else that comes by, shows support, downloads, clicks on ads, whatever 😀 😀
Make sure to keep supporting and tell your friends about the show, and if you’re on Facebook, join the Memory Lapse group (http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=64623366613)
So YEY!!!
