I spend a lot of time hanging out with stories. Because pretty much everybody that comes to me for sound-ey stuff wants the same thing. To turn the volume up on the awesome in their life. Yeah, one person may be crazy stuck and want help shifting it. And another person might be knee deep in struggle and totally ...
When A Bang Becomes A Fizzle Fo’shizzle
So it’s 2010. Yay! This is the time of year when there’s tons o' talk about resolutions. And goals. And stuff of much awesomeness to make happen in 2010. Everywhere you look everyone seems totally stoked. And totally ready to rock.h Which is awesome. Except that sometimes this totally-stoked-and-ready-to-rock thing is like a sugar high. Super charged. Short lived. Fabulous at the time. And ...
Hey, thanks 2009!
Dear 2009, Wow. I mean, seriously. Wow. You’ve totally blown me away. Not just because somehow it’s already December. But because you’ve managed to pack a ton of awesome into the last twelve months. Don’t get me wrong. There was some stuff that sucked. Like watching Mom get older. And have a hard time dancing on Thursdays. Or keeping up her ...
The Songs That Saved My Life
But don't forget the songs, That made you cry, And the songs that saved your life, Yes, you're older now, And you're a clever swine, But they were the only ones who ever stood by you. - from Rubber Ring by The Smiths
Joey Ramone Is My Life Coach
My name is Fabeku. And I’m a perfectionist. Well, recovering perfectionist. At least most days I’m recovering. It's a process. I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember. I’m pretty sure I picked up this ...
Relearning How To Listen
Life is amazingly noisy. You are surrounded by sound pretty much everywhere you go. Some of it's awesome. Your favorite tunes spinning on the iPod. The voice of someone you really dig. Giggling like a gooney bird at something funny. Some of it sucks. Horns honking in rush hour traffic. Roofers bang-bang-banging away right next door. Someone screaming at their ...
Now That’s Ninjarific #3 – The Do Epic Shit Edition
One of the best things about the interwebs is that it’s filled with lots of groovy stuff. I mean, sure, it’s also filled with lots of crap and bunches of snooze. But some stuff is so ninjarific that it just begs to be ...
The Bridge That Goes Boom
“The spirit of the drum is something that you feel but cannot put your hands on. It does something to you from the inside out.” - Babatunde Olatunji Over the weekend I was hanging out with my pals Toby ...
Gnomes. Polar Bears. And Drums.
So a couple of months ago I bumped into the fabulous Bridget Pilloud on the twitters (she's @petsaretalking) and through her equally fabulous blog. She wrote this awesome post about the unconscious. Which I retweeted. Because ...
Sound Off #1: Shiny Golden Awesome (aka How To Pick A Singing Bowl)
This is the blog-ey bit where you get to toss out whatever sound-ey sort of questions you want, and I answer them. Kind of like a Dear Abby for sound stuff. But with less angst. More fun. And ninjas. We ...
Eff The Odds (aka Cat Nuggets)
I was going to do another Weird Instruments That Don’t Suck video this week. Because I have this very weird, very non-sucky instrument to ...
Grooves. Gaps. Static. And Stuck.
Every illness is a musical problem. Its cure, a musical solution. – Novalis Sometimes life is just plain sexy. Things are good. Like seriously-rockin’-and-rollin’ good. You’re totally in your groove, feeling the flow. The volume is turned way up on the awesome. Cool stuff is happening. Things just fall together in a way that almost looks like magic. And ...
