Status Quo Sunday Shopping SPREE!!!

This week's jam:


OK? OK.

New song this week: "Change The War"

Mailing list peeps will get MP3 through the e-mail.
Slower, and a couple spots I screwed up on, but I think it's pretty good, and I'll probably play it at a live show or two, provided I change up the arrangement.

It also got some buzz on Tumblr, so I'm happy about that :D
Working on a promo video to send to Wizards of the Coast, and getting my song on Duels of the Planeswalkers.

So, yesterday I bought some crap I needed, namely a boom mic, some more picks, and a new mic clip.

Most importantly, I got this thing:


Holy crap I can do some next level busking at cons with this. Clean and overdrive settings, runs on a 9 Volt, clips to my belt, and it's not terribly loud, to overwhlem. Usually I like to busk for a little bit at cons, build up some hype and maybe sell a CD or two. Also good for practicing before shows, since I can't bust out the big amp in my house, and I still need to see how it sounds with the backing tracks. Overall, pretty worth the $40 I spent on it.

Status Quo Sunday Schadenfreude

Why you ask? I feel as World Cup Champions, Germany deserves some recognition in a sport that America doesn't care about therefore it's not important.

Things that happened this week... Song writing and getting my act together for Anime Festival Orlando! Still waiting to hear back on the when and where, and the song is in it's polishing stages. Working on my setlist now, and have not one but TWO new songs you guys are going to here.

I AM VERY EXCITE!

Other stuff? How about the Magic 2015 core set prerelease? I managed to attend two this weekend, going 2-1-1, and 2-2. So far it feels a little janky, and a couple cards feel like absolute motherfucking bombs that will wreck you shit and frustrate you to no end. Granted, said cards are fun, just not fun to play against. It's really easy to be in a situation where you can fall behind on mana. Quite frequently I ran into situations where my 6-drops would save my ass, but I couldn't 

This one guy got me REALLY salty when he played everything that had Deathtouch, such as Soul Of Innistrad and Typhoid Rats, as well as rare white angels, Resolute Angel and Avacyn. Like, I was trying to ride the line where I insulted him just enough to piss him off, but not enough so that I don't immediately come off like an asshole.

Or I could become a better loser...

Things to hate draft? Well, anything with Deathtouch, anything white with flying, and really, any of the Souls will do. Turn To Frog also gave me some troubles, but more on that once we get deeper into the season.

Evo, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world was also this weekend, and I caught some of the Super Smash Bros. Melee and Street Fighter 4 finals. I was happy to see prefered characters Jigglypuff and Sagat in the Grand Finals of their respective finals, so that all of my decisions in life have been validated.

Dashcon, a convention for Tumblr by Tumblr, turned out to be mismanaged garbage.

I've been to small conventions, I've been to conventions where the staff was spread thin, but I don't think any con I've played for had to hit me and the rest of the guests up for money.

There's this blog that covers Florida conventions, and none of them are ever as bad as Dashcon, probably because all the conventions I've been to so far have had at least one adult who knows what they're doing.

Status Quo Sunday Has A Lot On Its Plate Right Now

First thing's first: TUMBLR GIVEAWAY TIME!!

Some Dino Hunter MD: The Sound Track swag to give away! Tumblr accounts are free, and you get a little extra something that I didn't mention yet.

Lotsa writing this week, including the first draft of the bio I'm using for many different purposes, mainly getting into cons, like the recently revived Miami Hurricon, Florida Supercon and Dragon*Con.

This week will bring forth two things:
-Fixing up the site this week, trying to get a header of some sort going. I'll need to see how much leeway Blogspot gives me in regard to design.

-A new project called "Idiot Cover Generations", where I do a cover of a song from each of Green Day's albums, from 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours to (at least) 21st Century Breakdown. Starting next week, you guys get to vote!

I know it's a lot right now, but my schedule and workload IS clearing out, so expect more stuff soon.

And Now For Your Weekend Update

"Boston Boom Bringer" has been reblogged all throughout Tumblr!
190 notes, which is more than any of my songs have received on Soundcloud PERIOD. (

Gotten views all on YouTube (9,760 views more til Scout Cosplay rap)!
I'm definitely doing more rap in the future. I've got a couple ideas for beats in mind, but WHO KNOWS?

My album became Pay What You Want!
Because I gotta be OK with giving my music away if I want people to give it a chance. 

I started streaming
Sunday evenings around 7 PM usually. I still need to work on getting sound from the console hooked up, but right now I got commentary and video going, so at least that's covered.
