Readers: I often end my comments online with “New Century, new
everything! That means for me this is a new era in the arts and media.
I think many are beginning to see that, but the media is one
collective group that does not.

Here is a list of the new art and media developments that the old
media refuses to acknowledge or talk about. Come on you dinosaurs in
electronic and print media end the boycott against what’s new and
creative, and come out of last century!

NEW LIST

1. Zines and Blogs NOT novels

2. Youtube films NOT Hollywood films

3. Post Modern Art - NOT the gallery/ museum art system

4. Post Bands Music - NOT 50 year old rock

5. No ad online newspapers - NOT ad driven media

6. No ad review sites - NOT ad driven review sites

7. All purpose art centers - NOT separate museums, libraries, concert
halls.

8. FIrst world culture through the internet - NOT separate regional
cultures only.

The answer to, and winner (if any) for, our last contest question of:
What’s the vaudeville term for the cheapest seats in the theater?

IS The Peanut Gallery. Also in the early days of TV, the Howdy Doody
show called its live audience the Peanut Gallery.

One of TWO possible winners (we may have a tie here) is Heath from
Brooklyn, NY.

The rest of you must have been in the lobby!

I don’t dumb down, so please wise up.

Now on to a new Q.: Win a copy of my NEW cd CALLED ‘30′! - (first anti-
band CD) or my NEWER cd CALLED ‘NEXT” or my NEWEST cd CALLED
‘THIRDS” (May ‘07) or my NOW RELEASED cd CALLED ‘FOUR-TH’
Hunkasaurus.com (has them all plus videos and more) if you are the
first to e-mail me at THIS NEW ADDRESS: tom-hendricks@att.net with the
correct answer to this art question*

Hi there. I'm working on this song, (really just a musical phrase),
that I stumbled on while playing on an old Korg DW-6000. I was using
the default settings on that Korg - the ones that are set when you
turn the thing on. The piece does not have the same effect at all
without that sound.

So, I use a computer to pretty much capture my song ideas, but I have
to way to replicate that sound through MIDI that I know of.

So, I figure there are two options, (neither of which I know how to
utilize):

* Find a way to capture the sample that the synthesizer uses.

* Recreate the sound using software synths that I have available in
Propellerhead's Reason. But, I'm really pretty much a novice at using
those.

Does anyone know of a link that might help me with the first option?

Thanks.

There's no one to judge,
you're still so fine,
I'm just too crippled now to grudge it.

My friend is dragging me along to see this band Almost Dawn. They are
playing a battle of the bands but not sure if i really want to go.
Never heard of them and they are not a famous band. They prob. suck.
Maybe i should play sick that day, lol. Really mean of me. Has anyone
done that b4 or do you think i should just go?
