Now that’s a quality video post…well done!

That was a perfect way to change things up and it would be great to seem some more of these random, middle of the night moments…

I agree. I know it was good for me. I was feeling kind of stuck this week. It was nice to just do something with no real purpose.

Thanks about the opening. I was really proud of it. I just put it together in iMovie with some pictures I found and one of Garageband’s jingles. I’m really happy with the quality given how limited iMovie is.

Haha. Thanks? I guess it’s a compliment. Ben Gibbard looks pretty cool (and he did get Zooey Deschanel). If I’d taken the time to put this in the right key, I’d have sounded more like Ben Gibbard, too. This was lower than I was comfortable with, but decent enough.

Thanks for stopping by, Nick! Hope to see you here more often.

Thanks, Mike! The blogging course has kind of ruined me. I sit down and can get two one-thousand-word lessons out in three hours and then I come back to Wage Slave Rebel and just… stare. Haha.

Monday is looking a lot better for WSR than today was.

Thanks about the opening. I’d actually made it back in November when I first started thinking about doing video.

I’ve always tended more toward playing acoustic so I’ve not done much with pedals. I’ve been wanting to try looping for quite a while now and it was a lot easier to drop $5 for this app than hundreds on a pedal. It sure would be nice to be able to stop it with my feet though. You can hear certain parts drop out at the end because I had to (really quickly) move my hand from the guitar to tap the screen.

I can definitely see this being useful for starting new songs. It’s really encouraging to get that “full band” effect.

In all honesty I probably shouldn’t have attempted singing. I’d never played that song in that way before. But overall, for 4am I’m happy with it.

The Postal Service is fitting because you look a lot like Ben Gibbard.

Ha! I was smiling throughout that whole video. Takes a lot of balls to sing and put yourself out there like that

Good stuff and the opening to “WSR” video was sick. Awesome stuff man.

OH, and I def appreciate that you used up all your blogging skills for the blogging course. It shows in the quality of the material.
