It’s sad, really
Continuing my long-time trend of finding fantastic albums years after their release, here’s my latest discovery:
Released (of course) in 1998.

Magic GarageBand
My order of Apple’s iLife ‘08 came yesterday and although I’ve only had the opportunity thus far to play with iPhoto and GarageBand, I’m utterly smitten. iPhoto is a terrific update and GarageBand’s new Magic GarageBand feature let me make the following song in–I’m not kidding–5 minutes and 1 take.
Kimberly Jean
Well, it turns out that one of Erin’s cousins has opted for a career as a country singer. I’m always game to support anyone’s musical dreams, but let me tell you it’s a lot easier to get excited about somebody’s singing when they’re awesome at it. Frankly, I’m not much of a country music fan, but give a listen over on her web site then tell me I’m wrong. The woman is amazing. Has an album for sale, too.
Check it out.
Steadman
My favorite band at present. Revive is awesome. (See what Sir Paul McCartney has to say.) And available for free download. Do yourself a favor. Download today.
Floating and Dreaming
Created 7/11/04 on Apple’s Garage Band. Initial song took about 20 minutes to put together. Tack on about another hour for tweaks. The song uses 6 virtual instruments which is about all you can get out of a 1.5-GHz G4. That may not sound like much (and it’s not) but it’s adequate for goofing, so obviously it suites me just fine.

Mystic (The Jonah Mix)
Created 7/6/04 on Apple’s Garage Band. Initial song took about 45 minutes to put together. It would have been faster, but I’d never used the software before. I spent another hour or so tweaking, mixing, and goofing. Good times.
