Music and moonshine

Music and moonshine

It started, as most musical endeavors do, with a conversation at an after party some months ago. Fueled by confidence of the fermented sort I requested a pianist to record some songs far removed from my usual repertoire. A friend of mine latched on to the idea, but as always with conversations like these, nothing really came out of it.

Until this weekend.

Since our initial conversation, my friend has built a small recording studio in his trailer, next to his still and the pillow that his neighbors cat usually sleeps on. It's cramped, but functional. Perfect for a duo who doesn't mind the drip-drip-drip sound of distillation, and knows how to appreciate the unconditional love only other peoples cats can give.

Sadly, we were unable to fit a working piano in there, so we had to settle for a smaller, electronic one, but beggars can't be choosers.

After spit-balling a couple of ideas, we recorded a song my friend wrote for the acoustic guitar a while back. There's other songs in the pipeline, but thanks to the aforementioned still, this is the only one we got down on tape during our first session.

So if you can appreciate a raspy voiced, piano based dirge, please check out our efforts at

Oh, if anyone know any better way of sharing mp3s for free, please let me know in the comments. Myspace is weird.

Your traveling video game showcase should be fun. And it's never a bad thing to buy the same game twice.

Best thing you could've done. Man you're gonna have a ton of fun on your trip!

@armaan8014:@Claude: Thanks for being enablers, guys
But seriously, the game is awesome, and I'm still excited about the various origins. First time the initial quests in an RPG doesn't feel like a horrible, horrible grind after a couple of playthroughs.

We've got 2 each of copies of Dragon Age and Borderlands on PC, then a copy of each of those on console too.  So I'm right there with ya.  Though after putting over 100 hours into the game on PC, I had a hard time really getting into Dragon Age again on console.  Pretty much same for Borderlands.

@melcene: Yeah, I'm thinking I went the "correct" way, by finishing the game on a console first. At first it was kinda jarring to use the tactical view, after two playthroughs on console, but I think I'm gonna have a hard time going back after getting used to this way of playing.
And Borderlands is an FPS, so that's a no go on consoles for me. I suck at those types of games, but with a mouse/wasd setup I'm at least able to enjoy myself.
