So last week’s show had an error in the recording, and as such, I won’t be posting it for DL. I will, however, be working on another If At First CD, soon, so we have that to look forward to 😀
Typically, I release Memory Lapse regardless of mistakes I may have made because it’s a record of my progress, but the recording itself is glitched 🙁 You can listen/view it in the video player, though!
Well, stay tuned for this week’s show and the up coming If at First v8!!
I’m glad my podcast was approved by Apple because I have a brand new CD for you to DL here 😀 This is If at First v.7, and it’s my first in the series since last year when I started doing Memory Lapse.
The differences between IaF and ML are that the IaF recordings are meant to fit on a CD and they are very coherent and delibrate pieces. I playlist very careful and try to build a different theme for each one. MLs are 2 hours long (typically) and are a little more free form. ML is meant to be as if I were spinning live at a party, and as such they are recorded (and broadcast) live and on the fly. Many times I’ll go into a show not having a fully realized idea of what I want, but as I spin and chat, I figure it out.
I’d also like you to note that my podcasting is set up, so you can now directly download from this site, or by clicking the Apple logo in the sidebar, you can go to my iTunes page and setup the podcast to DL automatically to iTunes. If you’re not using iTunes, just use the RSS feed.

If you know how to use it, here’s the cue file, just make sure to rename the mp3 and cue file as “If at First v.7” NOT “If%20at%20First%20v.7”. The cue file helps you break the mp3 into tracks when you burn it to CD -> just follow steps 2 – 4 (completely unnecessary if you’re just putting it on an mp3 player, and optional if you’re burning to CD).
I made the album cover using a great photo taken by helixxx.
Back from Miami and good to go 😀
An very energetic set inspired by the music I was hearing at Ultra, it’s only problem was Ustream breaking the recording into 2 parts. Thankfully the break happened at about 20 minutes in, so part 2 is lengthy and uninterupted. I’ll probably be making it into an mp3 for DL.
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. And I’d like to thank a few people:
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!!!
show after the break
So i was relaxing and turned the webcam on to chill with a few friends as I spun, and about 2 hours later I decided to spin for the rest of the evening. I only grabbed about 2 out of the 4 hours on film, as it were, but here it is for you to enjoy.
i know i know…
posting this super late ><
hope you enjoy it…. threw in almost an hour of hip-hop/lounge kind of stuff at the begining 😀
had a lot of fun with this show. good music… and used a new video app that… well… follow the link and check the show out to find out for yourself! 😀
Sorry for posting this so late. Ustream seems to be trying to deal with an influx of users and traffic, so AGAIN, the stream broke during the show. I was able to retrieve both parts, though, so hopefully you can still enjoy the replay! 😀
Thanks for everyone that dropped by. Follow the link for the vids.
