Useless bitching
Nuts... I have a cool idea for a big-band/rock type of song (think like Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4), but I have absolutely no good brass samples to make that dream a reality... I hate when that happens.
CDs on a whim
Ever buy a CD on a whim? Like, you just think something sounds interesting, then take a chance on it?
That happened to me. I was listening on the last.fm scrobbler, when a song by Harry Partch came up. It was pretty crazy/interesting, so I read a little bit about him, saw that he invented his own instruments, and since I thought that was so cool, I bought a CD of his (because you aren't going to find a whole lot of Harry Partch torrents on the web, obviously). I was really impressed. I mean, very impressed. So much so that I went and bought ANOTHER CD of his (Delusions of the Fury, which a live performance of is on youtube).
Ever happen to any of you?
