Akai APC 40

January 19th, 2009 | Category: i want,music,ramblings

Akai and Ableton have teamed up and released the APC 40 controller for Ableton Live.  Damn that thing looks schweeeeeeeet.  It’s pretty much the controller everyone has ever wanted when it comes to using Live.  It’s intuitive and has all the functionality you could ever need when creating new tracks or entire live sets to be performed.  Not to mention crazy easy to switch between clips and play what’s needed.  Follow actions might not really be needed much by me anymore.

With that said, Ableton also released Live version 8.  Damn it has quite a few things that I’ve wanted.  Hopefully Ernie can keep me focused long enough to collaborate on a track or two this year, and see what comes of that.  I really shouldn’t be thinking about spending money, but I can’t help it.  Some things just give you that gear lust and there’s no going back.

Bacon Watch

January 19th, 2009 | Category: humor,i want,ramblings

It’s no secret that I have a slight obsession with bacon.  Everything tastes better with bacon.  It’s the best meat known to man, ever.  Hands down nothing can beat the power of bacon.

Now if I were to ever wear a watch again, something I haven’t done since I was in the 5th grade and g-shock watches were all the rage, I would definitely pick up this one.  It’s bacon that tells time.

Of course over at Archie McPhee’s there’s all sorts of other bacon swag.  It’s like going to a store in china town only on the web.  It’s good times.
