Tapcast feat. Tapper

Sound settings on my laptop have been royally fucked, making ep 1 & 2 beyond shitty. Consider ep3 a test. Sigh …. again. I figured I could play a cut of “I’m not black I’m OJ” because a) relevant, if you are not careful, Apple music will download (and bill you for the clean version) … Continue reading "“I like that second one” JAY-Z"

Threw together some great music from around the Web featuring a favorite group of mine, The Concord Blue Devils. Featured are “F Tuning” from 96, the rock out section from the 95 show, including iconic hornline runs and double C’s for days from good ol’ Scott Steward. Also included is my 1st draft of “When … Continue reading "Testing TapCast….. meager return attempt"

Like all the others it is a  WIP. Then I wraps about DCI for a bit…. I layed down an … Continue reading "Quickie Cast Part II"

Nobuo Uematsu for FFIII for the … Continue reading "Quick and dirty Podcast update…."

What better way to kick off the season than a look back at some of the best–OPENERS! To prove my objectiveness in opener-selection, no corps that I was ever in or a part of was selected. These casts are limited to about 10 clicks each, so I cut three favs, added some groanful commentary using … Continue reading "Episode Three: Opening the drum corps season with–Openers–Part One"

A famous track; re-written in an awesome way. A not-so-famous track; upbeat and beautiful. Por ustedes. Que bueno!
