Tigers, Widgets, and Edro
I rarely put fun things on my computer, but I've found a guilty pleasure, albeit probably a temporary fascination. Widgets. So, I just upgraded all my computers to Apple's new operating system named "Tiger". Tiger has a dashboard feature that holds these fun little pointless programs called Widgets. My Widgets programs give me the latest music news, local weather, where to find the cheapest local gas prices, an audio calculator, dancing Homer, clock, and a drag and drop FTP upload. OK, so some of them are actually functional, but lets face it, most of them are just there because.
Enough about Widgets and Tigers. Me, Brent, and Rob Mathes all collaborated on a hip hop track for Edro today. Edro is still in London, and we're here, so once we finished it, Brent sent it over and apparently Edro had already begun writing to it before the end of the first listen. I think that means he liked it. Edro has been in the zone lately with his writing and flow. He's like a man possessed, a man on a mission, a man on fire, you get the idea. Its gonna be really tough narrowing all the songs down to only what gets released on the album. I'm sure some songs we all love will get left off, but then these are good problems to have. Tomorrow I'm cutting a soul singer on one song, and an opera singer on another song. Yes, this album has plenty of musical diversity, from straight up street, to very musical, from deep storytelling to rhyming about paper, rims, and bit...... ummmmm nevermind. The London crew will be coming across the pond in October to (hopefully) finish the album. We're renting a big house to put them all in during their stay. It'll be perfect, only a mile away from my studio, and isolated enough from their neighbors that we'll probably move most of one of my studios over to the house so they can still do production, writing, and maybe even some vocals, and we'll be at my studio as well grinding it out every day running both of my other rooms. Its gonna be pretty crazy.
The New York AES Convention is in a week and a half. Anyone going? I'll be there. Sunday night should be particularly fun. More bout that later.

Widgits are freaking addicting as hell... I have been using a similar program call Konfabulator. Lots of Widgets... hell Widgets for all kinds of things. Fun stuff.
