I saw Minus The Bear on Jimmy Kimmel Live and I wasn't too impressed with their live performance.

Oh, you can hook it up to a speaker if you want to. When you break the casio open, unsolder the wires connected to the speaker. There should be two wires. You just solder those to a jack plug, swap them around if they're soldered the wrong way (low-signal, buzzing, 60cycle hum etc). The thing is, as soon as you start modifying things like that, it's best to run it off batteries, as you can sometimes induce a shock. Read up a lil on circuit bending aswell, that'll give you an idea about wiring, adjustments, modifications and getting some crazy sounds with out using external effects... this will make it feel more synthesis!

Oh, and a circuit bent toy is about 400%+ it's original value! (check out circuit bent speak and spells, they go for about £200 sometimes)

OMG, 1,000 posts! WAHHHHH!

Thanks, I've been meaning to get into circuit bending, but money is so scarce for me I just need to just throw some money at it and not eat for a couple weeks.

Which would work really well with your user name, thus, bringing everything full circle, and making you admirably legit.

Re: ................

That's the beauty of circuit bending... you don't need much money. Just a screwdriver, some wire, a few switches and knobs, and a soldering iron. It's all very cheap to do.

I'm also lazy. My name normally holds true Trathena, I'm just saying that it would add another level of truth to it.

Re: ................

I got super smash brothers brawl and an extra nunchuck controller for it. I think i'll be picking up Mario Kart and Mario Party next pay check, most likely.

Good stuff. All those games rule.

Re: ................



I'm back.

Cribble is currently working on the new music blog and as you can see, things are going well.

I'm up here in San Rafael, CA now. I like it so far. However, I know close to nobody out here, so if any you Bay Area peeps wanna hang out, feel free to PM me or something. I'll be going to Outside Lands too, so if any of you wanna meet up at the dredg-camp, I'm game.

In other news, I pretty much stopped talking to my ex-girlfriend, who I thought was a good friend of mine, but it all turned out she only thought about herself. Lets just say I lost two good friends last week. Not good.
The upside to this is that I'm 3000 miles away from all that, so it's a little easier to move on.

The road trip was fun. Here's a slide show of our trip...

So what's new? How everybody doin'?

Re: ................

Hi!!!

Your trip looks wonderful. All of those great pictures. Was that some sort of goth convention? What was going on there?

What a fantastic adventure you had.

One more thing: dude, I have always pictured you with goatee and fro. Shocking.

Re: ................

Yeah it was a Zombie Parade in Chicago. At first I thought Marylin Manson was playing in town. But it was like 200+ people dressed up as zombies. But yeah, the road trip was quite an adventure, many stories.

Naaa, maybe when I stop working for the government I'll work on it. But I'm just a short clean shaven irish dude from Boston.
