HI I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC

Sold 2 more Carbon 7 albums on Bandcamp last night. It’s always such a pleasant surprise to get those emails. I’m about making enough on Bandcamp to pay for hosting carbon7.net. I need to bring Dennis & Ron some tacos as their “points” the next time we get together.

@immlass Welcome to the tootdome!

Little Bigtooth will be entering its 5th spring here at the ranch next March. It only grows about 6-8 inches a year. Bigtooth maples are native to Texas and very hardy - drought & disease resistant & happy in rocky soil. More people should plant them

My maple tree has finally decided it's fall.

You know, Supertramp had just a few REALLY good songs. @me if you wish.

Oh hey, there’s 3.5 hours of new Carbon 7 music up on our site as of Sunday night. I’m really happy with the these mixes & I’m still in awe of the fact that I’m in a band with these 2 wizards:

What if clams really just aren’t all that happy?

This damn Jeff Buckley album has its hooks in me again - been stuck on it for a couple of days, now. This happens a couple times a year. I’ve never has an album affect me emotionally like this one.

Plus, figuring out how to do this without letting my current employer know I’m looking is going to be delicate. I really want to have something lined up so I can just give notice & go, seamlessly. I really don’t want him negotiating with me to stay.

Looking for a new job because the one I have stresses me out, but now that I’m down to printing resumes & hoping to set up interviews, I’m encountering a while new type of anxiety. Unemployment in Austin is 2.5% - EVERYONE is hiring, but I’m letting the doubt creep in.

Ugh, foggy slow, anxious morning because I got in bed at 10 but laid here awake until 12:30 when I realized I’d forgotten my meds which I should have taken 9-ish. Things to do today & bluh.

In a fit of "inspiration," I slapped togehter some cover art so I could upload this 2013 Carbon 7 album to bandcamp: https://carbon7.bandcamp.com/album/panning-for-stars

Somewhat mellow & coherent, this is one of my 2 or 3 faves all the way through.

Logic updated to 10.4.2 which is what I was really after, & it's working. I had updated the Macbook & when I record on it remotely, sessions were not happy in the older version on my tower. Now off to run the Adobe CC updates...

It is dicey! I get a bright red log-in screen that's a tad worrisome, & a security update just failed & I had to use the patcher tool again & force-rebuild the caches to get out of a blank grey screen. Ugh. Working for the moment - no more security updates, I guess...

It is done!!
