Well I'm leaving here in a few minutes to go pick up tenu, and then we're headed ot Pernet, perhaps to move around turkeys for their thanksgiving drive.
We've been playing alot of Super Mario Sunshine as of late. You know, there's something about the Mario games. They're really able to capture that irreverant fun of playing a video game for the first time. That's the best way I can describe it. Rather than feeling derivitive and stale, they inspire that same sense of wonder that you had the first time you sat down for a real hard night of gaming at your Apple or Atari or NES or what have you. Playing with tenu is awesome, we would've made quite the team back in the NES days.
Perhaps spurred on by this nostalgia, Ive been downloading the entire archive of the old MOD/IT/S3M/XM group 'Explizit'. Lame name, for sure, but this stuff really takes me back. For those who aren't versed, way back before we had mp3's and big ass datapipes capable of trasferring an entire library in 15 seconds, to share music online meant with a 'mod' file. A 'mod' file is basically made up of little tiny samples of music, which are then arranged in a sequence to make a big piece of music. So the file only contains that bass drum hit once. That hi hat hit once, etc, and then it gets instructions on how to play them all. Anyhow, this also was the first true wave of the bedroom musician. Anyone with an Amiga or an Atari ST or later a 286/386 could make simple electronic music. This is what got me into writing music. Alot of it is really cheesy, but who cares. At age 14, this was bedroom rave at its finest.
Kisses and loves to tenu.
