CAC - The War Kitty Chronicles

.

Yup, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. “Disturbia 23″ is my latest foray into some dark house with a bit of mind bending minimalism. A psychotic journey through a lost mind ala the loony bin.

If this is numbered ‘23′… can you imagine what the other 22 were like. Yikes!

Left of center as usual.

This is exciting… I know, it sounds like a bogus dating service. But wait… it’s something better.

You can now download a bunch of my ’singles’ at Juno, Beatsdigital, and DJdownload. These are high quality MP3 and Wav files… not the same low byte rate (128) from iTunes or Amazon. I’m very pleased with this and I know it will add an additional level to the listening experience.

Through my label ‘Dancing Hat’ more singles will be added monthly so be sure to bookmark your fav and check back often.

Thanks.

Beer has been around since forever to be sure but, who, what, where is the worlds oldest commercial brewery… That distinction falls to The Weihenstephan Brewery of Freising, Bavaria, Germany. It started as a Benedictine monastery and a document dated 768 states that a ‘local hop garden’ was paying them a tithe… no mention of whether this was coin or hops. In 1040 the city of Freising actually licensed the Weihenstephan Abby as a brewery. So far, that’s the oldest brewery of continuous operation to date.

Renamed the Bavaria State Brewery Weihenstephan in 1923, it is now operated in conjunction with the Technical University of Munich as both a state-of-the-art production facility and center for learning, one of few such beer institutions in the world, and it is this combination of tradition and custom, proven knowledge and modern science, that gives the brewery its unique identity.

To this day , Weihenstephan brews quality beer: Vitus, Hefe-Weissbier, Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel, Kristall Weissbier and Original Lager.

I’ll just belly up to the bar with some Dunkel thank you. Yeah, that’s the ticket…

Beer run!

My Easy Day - This is one of those ‘drift away’ songs… where you are on a small boat heading down stream with the current, lost in a day dream and making no attempt to do anything else… it’s futile, go with the flow. It’s also the closest thing I’ve written that could be called ‘easy listening’. You know the stuff of Hollyridge Strings and Ray Conniff Singers… or, just shoot me now, it’s over.

A simple song with no hidden meaning… not even if you play it backwards.

Enjoy.

Big thanks to M.T.C for giving me the chance to remix his hit “Balearic Nature”. It is now available on Beatport.

I remixed the original chill track as a NuDisco/Indie Dance groover and it was a lot of fun. Head on over to Beatport and have a go at my remix, the original, and four other remixes done in various styles.

When you wanna rock, you wanna rock. It’s as simple as that. This is my take on the David Bowie hit from 1983. I have always liked this song and it is fun to sing… at least for me.

I’m offering “China Girl” as a free fan download (email addy required) via ReverbNation. You can listen and download the song here: http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_3229659

Thanks a lot, enjoy, and tell your friends…

A great piece of work from Dpt4D (F.P.S.) Films.

I remember back in the day when a great hit of espresso was measured by the talent of the ‘barista’… the long steady pull of the handle I am told was the secret. In this day of all electric, I want it yesterday assembly line coffee, you’ll be hard pressed to find a good cup of espresso. And Starbucks, with their penchant to burn coffee, has single handedly dismantled both art and taste.

A lot of electronic music people (producers, DJs, etc) seem to live on Cokes and/or Red Bull. I say switch to espresso… it’s just coffee and water… it’s better for you.

Find a place that can truly create a glorious cup of espresso, or learn yourself, and you can experience true bliss. You can thank me latter.

This song started out as an exercise to try a few different production techniques in Albeton… the music software I use most. It ended up being really fun. An hypnotic bit of da-da psychedelia that is upbeat as well as spacey and borrowing a bunch from basic House music. But then, you can decide for yourself.

I really do have to get back into that whole living in a micro bus thing.

Flower Power People! Right On!

The boombox, aka ghetto blaster, jambox, wog box, Brixton briefcase, or just plain radio-cassette, became a cultural icon in the late 70’s and a phenomena in the 80’s along with break dancing and early hip hop. The gnarlier the better.

Here is a video explaining and covering the history of the boombox from NPR Music. It’s cool.

Now blast that sucker…
