all i want to be is the minute that you hold me in
just in case you like matt nathanson and missed my various posts on the matt boards, here’s a couple of videos worth checking out. neat shit always seems to happen at the matt shows i’m at.
from last year’s matt show (9.28.04):
lost myself – ripped pants (right click and save as)
and from this year’s matt show (10.30.05):
suspended – yelling douchebag (right click and save as)
make sure you watch that suspended video all the way to the end.
the matt shows were great. we’ve taped them for DVD authoring and hopefully will be able to get them out soon – the 9.28.04 is almost ready to go, and the 10.30.05 and 11.01.05 shouldn’t take much work. the hardest part of it will be figuring out what the openers played (we taped those too.)
that being said, if anyone happens to be a big fan of matt wertz, graham colton, kate earl, or kyle riabko, drop me a line.
let’s see, what else is going on…
oh yeah, it’s december, i guess it’s time for the christmas list!
i’ll put in as much as i can remember and edit in anything that i forget (keep in mind that this is a wish list and i won’t be able to get or afford all of this crap.)
U2 – Live in Chicago DVD
DMB – Weekend on the Rocks box set
Santana – All that I am (or whatever the new cd is called)
Pink Floyd – Pulse DVD
Traffic – Gold (2 disc collection)
Knights of the Old Republic II – PC
Fable the Lost Chapters – PC
Doom III – PC
new DVD burner
new/upgraded mics for audio recording (my mic is crap right now)
external firewire hard drive controller
1GB SD memory card (for an MP3 player)
Dragon Quest VIII – PS2
Soul Caliber 3 – PS2
Nintendo Gamecube (used or otherwise)
Super Smash Bros. and Zelda – Windwaker for said gamecube
that’s all i can think of. i don’t expect to get all (or even most) of this, it’s a wish list.
i’m also interested in a few other things, but i don’t know if they will be out in time for christmas.
Final Fantasy 4 – GBA (if it’s out in time)
Kingdom Hearts 2 (oh yeah that’s right it got the square soft BIG GAME DELAY!)
Final Fantasy – Advent Children (I preordered this – when the hell does it come out?!? seems like it’s been delayed a couple times now…)
Final Fantasy XII (another big game delay from square)
Matt Nathanson – Live at the Point
Matt Nathanson – the New album
Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess
Xenosaga III (still REALLY far away, but it’s a great story and i’m anxious to see how they tie it up)

seriously, the gamecube is just for the zelda games. nintendo has done a really good job of keeping classic old game franchises going and i haven’t had a chance to check any of them out. it’s a good time to like video games, but it’s also an expensive time, given the xbox 360 is now out and the PS3 will hit shelves in the spring. If the nintendo revolution can do all the shit they claim it will, it will be a must as well.
expensivo.
oh yeah – i’m thinking about buying a used or refurbished xbox. not because i want to play games on it or anything, but because i want to try turning it into a fully functional PC. it has everything you need – network connections, sound and video, a hard drive, USB for inputs, a CD/DVD drive… they say all you need is a certain game (i dont remember what) and some kind of hardware piece and you can install an operating system and all kinds of shit. i want to try it just to see if it works. seems like it would be a pretty convenient thing – an xbox sized pc you could hook up to a TV.

oh, and whats up with star wars? are they putting a complete sage 6 movie boxed set together or what? pack that thing with all kinds of extras and unreleased footages, slap a $100 price tag on it, and let’s get the ball rolling here. i want to buy the third movie, but i’m not just because i know a boxed saga set HAS to be right around the corner… doesn’t it? maybe i’ll rent revenge of the sith to check out the extras just to hold me over.
maybe they could charge $150 and include some kind of crazy replica light saber or something.

so, any of you audiophiles know anything about microphones and field recording? or perhaps mastering/remastering crappy audio with something like soundforge?
