Proof of concept

[jwgh]

Last Thursday my father gave me my much-delayed birthday present, which was a Zoom PS-02 Palmtop Studio, basically a tiny three-track digital recorder with some built-in filters and other features. Due to various stuff going on I haven't really had a chance to fool around with it until today, when I sat down with the manual and got it together enough to record this three-track version of Gram Parson's Sin City (or the first verse and chorus at least; that's me playing guitar in one track and singing in the other two).

I hope to do some more recording with it, but due to various things going on this week I probably won't get to do so until the week after this one. But we'll see!

Sin City

It's cool to be able to hear Kibologists as well as read them, though I have to wait till the office is nearly empty before turning the volume up.

What GP album is "Sin City" on? I don't recognise it and only have his 2-disc best-of set released a coupla years ago.

It's on the first Flying Burrito Brothers album, The Gilded Palace of Sin. I first heard it performed as a Beck/Emmylou Harris duet on the Gram Parsons tribute album Return of the Grievous Angel.

Hey, that's what headphones are for.

I confess: I've been listening to Interröbang Cartel on the job. It beats Magic 98 (more soft hits, less talk).

Yabbut I've tried plugging headphones into the 'puter and the sound still comes out of the speakers. I don't know nuffin 'bout hardware difficulties and I don't think I can call help desk when it's not a valid work reason.

I thought that headphones were to prevent people from coming into your cubicle and bothering you for no reason.
