so long, the end

Wednesday, Sep 3, 2008 12:53PM / Members only

Legendary London club The End has announced it will be closing in January 2009, after an epic 13 years in action.

Founded in 1995 and run for the duration by sibling duo Layo & Zoe Paskin, the club was based entirely around music - no hype, no marketing - just passionate DJs playing great music, week in week out.

The list of guests and resident DJs reads like a who's who of the finest in underground music. Time will remember what was achieved by the venue and (as with CBGB's in NYC), it's always sad to hear of non-commercial clubs closing down.

Read the full story and a quick interview with the Paskin's at the URL below. And if you are in London over the next six months, go and pay your respects!

Not the greatest of videos on YouTube but I challenge anyone to find any band with better visuals & lighting than these guys, right now. Mind blowing.

Love the drum machine.

Lousy sound quality ... ignore it. Just watch.

Shot not using cameras but instead with three dimensional laser scanners. Pretty cool.

To celebrate having my record label's Beatport mini-shop added to the Alive Not Dead blog ... I wanted to share this link with all fellow musicians:

please-buy-my-record-the-futility-of-flogging-music

It's a long read but then, like anything worthwhile in life ... well, just make the effort :)

Snapper by AudioEase - $79

Thursday, Aug 28, 2008 4:50PM / Members only

Following on my post about AudioFile Engineering Wave Editor ... here's another bit of blinding OSX software which studio types should not be without. Snapper.

Again, as with Wave Editor - cheap considering the benefits - $79 - but this time Audio Ease (makers of the absolutely f*cking awesome Speaker Phone plug-in) give you a 100 day unrestricted evaluation demo. That's 3 months, no nag, complete use. I've had Snapper onboard for a while now and am not far off buying it.

What does it do? This is going to be really mundane ... in essence Snapper is a media player & sample editor embedded into the OSX Finder. Fascinating Dan! Told you, boring as hell on paper ... but go install it now, spend a few minutes digging around your audio archives and I bet you this application will change the way you use your sample library. Forever.

Was that 'forever' to much? Over played that end sentence. Anyway, click the link, watch the information video while you download the installer.

Thanks for the advice. Yes the accountant will probably be a welcome addition for next year cos I don't exactly have tons of cheques coming in yet! I'm not limited either yet so it's a case of seeing how it all goes. I guess what I'm really after is some bigger jobs.

The super glue just gave me options for putting the veneer on as well as forming a pretty solid finish.

And I think I also started to like the fumes...
