Month: November 2012

Since last night’s victory, I have been riding on a natural high. All the tea party nuts had been defeated except the crazy lady married to the big old queen, Michelle Bachman. That’s okay, she narrowly scraped by and will likely be doomed in two years when she’s up for re-election.  Her brand of crazy is no longer welcome in the US Congress.

Obama pulled it out with the popular vote and the electoral vote. How wide a margin will largely depend on Florida once the count is finally tallied.

A big heaping thanks to those that stood in line (up to 4 hours) after the polls closed to make their vote count. The American people appreciate your resilience.

It just goes to show that no matter how much money the Koch brothers or Sheldon Adelson throw into our system, they weren’t able to buy our government, because we the people (at least 51% of us) are smarter than that. I hope your investment was worth it because a couple of Supreme court justices will be retiring and Barak gets to replace them. I fully expect the disastrous Citizens United to be reversed. Giving corporations personhood status and allowing folks to dump as much money into our campaigns to buy off congress all in the name of free speech is quite possibly the most fucked up decision these right-wing thugs have ever decided on.

I give you the final Chill Edition for the year 2012. Lest we forget, I’ve packed it with all the highlights of right-wing nuttery from the year as well as those cases that made national headlines and brought shame to our great nation.

I’m off tomorrow and will get back to the regular business of this site by working on a holiday electro set for your folks. Thank you for your patience as I worked out my demons in these chill sets. Until the next time…ENJOY!

I finally started making some headway on this set.  I’ve had so much going on the past several weeks, I didn’t know if I was /coming or going. I threw Rick a birthday party this past weekend (for what I don’t know, he doesn’t appreciate it) and once I got past that, I was able to sit down and start assembling all the music, sound effects, and video snippets I had been collecting for the past year. You better believe this was no easy task, especially since my headphones are shot.

Essentially, Divided We Fall picks up where we left off with The Promise of a Better Life.  This time around, I expanded on the variety of genres and tempos of the songs to provide an overall satisfying soundscape. After checking out “other” chill sets, I wanted to separate what I do from the new age/elevator-type music included in the more polished studio releases.

Then, there is the overall theme. It wasn’t my goal to be preachy but rather inform. Personally, I think it’s good to know what’s being said by our politicians and expose their hypocrisy, lies, and corrupt greedy manipulating actions, often done in the name of their “god.” Regardless of where your ideology lies, this set and the follow-up next week provide food for thought.

It’s best to listen through a headset or earplugs to get the whole feel; if you’re just in it for the music, by all means, play it in the car or on your home stereo and bypass all the blather in-between songs LOL. The music IS that good.

Between now and election day, I’ll be finishing up the second half and dropping that sometime after the 6th. If you’re in the US, be sure to get out and vote on the 6th, or better yet, VOTE EARLY!

Until next week…ENJOY!
