MONKEY BIRD WHISTLE OF THE DAY! 5-31-10

Monkey shaped bird whistle.... what more needs to be said?

WAH WAH PEDAL AD OF THE DAY! 5-30-10

My brother-in-law just sent me this tremendous 1967 radio commercial for Vox Wah Wah pedals featuring the Electric Prunes. It's the now sound! It's what's happening!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OF THE DAY! 5-22-10

Happy birthday to Steven Patrick Morrissey (or just Morrissey if you're nasty!) on his 51st birthday. Moz, a one time president of both the New Your Dolls fan club and the Cramps fan club, created along with guitarist Johnny Marr one of the more interesting pop bands that England ever produced, the Smiths.

Here is one Smiths video and one from Morrissey's solo work (the drummer in the Morriseey video is Mayfair composer Matt Walker!)... Happy Birthday Moz!

FOLEY ARTIST OF THE DAY!! 5-10-10

Creating music from scratch is a blast, for sure... but foley sound is where it's at! I've done some of this type of work, mostly for actions of the crazy Adult Swim games I made sound design and music for. You really do find yourself grabbing for the oddest stuff to make just the right sounds. I just came across this nice video of Foley artist Gary Hecker. Fun.
