Just chilling right now, at O'Hare, waiting for a flight. I set my homepage to smoothlou.com (which I recommend to you as well!) in an attempt to force myself to add things to it. So far, not so good. What better time than waiting for an aeroplane then. And what town am I lucky enough to be leaving for? If you guessed "Indianapolis" you're right. Also, if you guessed "that seems pretty boring" you'd be right too. I've got my lunch of champions (read: Gardettos original recipe and a Coke Zero unnamed soda) and sitting beside me in my laptop bag is my handy AKAI LPK25 portable keyboard. This thing is fantastic; I've been messing with it for about 3 days now, and since I'll be somewhere I know next-to-nothing about, I've got nothing better to do than to start cranking out the jams. I've been performing shows using other, more talented people's instrumental tracks for years, and I've never recorded any of these songs that I really like, so I'm making beats for them that will essentially, at first, be total ripoffs sound-alikes. What can I say? The best way to learn anything is to start with what you know and move forward from there. If it works out, I'll post it here in a few days. If it doesn't, well, I won't quit my dayjob after all.
