Garage Band and that Fateful Moment

Everytime I attempt Garageband I give up about half an hour into the endeavor. OH my Gargoyles I just can't figure it out. FOREAL. Which is a little dismaying because I like to consider myself pretty savvy on a computer and I played two instruments for 10 years each but computer instruments are not the same at all.

When we were younger we had this Tarzan computer game that had a pretty rudimentary version of garageband on it called trashin the camp or something like that and you had different keystrokes for different monkeys holding drums and jugs and instruments like that. It was easy but I mean it was also created for children.

The point is I would love to be in a band, or make my own music, but I am hitting a slight tiny road block called "I can't figure this shit out!" I hate to say it but I may resort to singing over tracks on youtube ... no no no I'm just kidding, hahaha wasn't that funny!? That will never happen. Only in my car and non-recordable will that happen.

I'd really really love to create something soon though and I'd really love to have friends who want to create some kind of big project with me too. I just want to get my hands dirty and paint or explore somewhere and take some photos.

Yeah yeah yeah. Let's do that.

ARMS

This band is my favorite band right now. they are so so so great. It's like a big warm fleecy hug when you're outside in crisp fall air and holding a mug of hot tea and then getting warm enough to dance around. Really, that's what they sound like. Sometimes I wish I could type sounds, because you have to listen to it and make your own connection to get it. It's beyond delightful though.

Here's their myspace, seriously, check it out. you will fall in love. http://www.myspace.com/armsongs

ARMS! please please please come to Columbus! PUH lease. They also have a remix of their song heat and hot water which is pretty wonderful. It takes their mellow but dancey sound and makes it more party-friendly.


love love love.
