". . .?!"


Exec:"Okay people, we have some tough competition at this years car show. We need to make our display really stand out to give us the edge. Any ideas?"
Marketing:"Oh, I know! We could make a gigantic model of our car, so big it practically touches the ceiling!"
Exec:"Thats not quite . . ."
Marketing:"And instead of having wheels in the wheel wells, we'll have nothing. They'll be like tunnels."
Exec:"Why . . ."
Marketing:"And then we'll have the actual cars drive around in it!"
Exec:". . .?!"
Exec:". . .?!"
Exec:". . .?!"
Marketing:"And a hot babe."

Calahoo

I've posted a new song on my MySpace called Calahoo. This track marks a new beginning for me. I've always had trouble finalizing my work and making it sound good. To be honest its an infuriating and mind-numbing thing to have to do. So I've decided to invest the little bit of cash and have a professional do it for me at an actual studio. The result is amazing. I was so pleased with the end product that I decided to wait on posting it until its been released through a label and available for sale. A sort of new years surprise. As you can see, that didn't quite work out so well.

Either way, because I'm working on new material I decided to post Calahoo as a small example of things to come. The song itself was tailored specifically for the club and I can't wait to see the reaction it gets. The version I posted is the club mix (that I will use in my live sets) which is why there is such a long intro.

Kudos to Terry Bradstock at BEI Digital Studios for his amazing work mixing and mastering this track.

Hope you like it!
