Moby and his drum machines

Moby talks about his gear, shows us his drum machine collection and rants about the nerds in electronic music. This is a submersion into Moby's home studio in New York. This is SO COOL.

Ringtones...4 Free!

Oh, what is wrong with me?

Just in case no one has heard of this site, Myxer is a free online program for creating your own, personalized ringtones. Overall, it's a pretty simple, well-intentioned program. However, the fact that I am posting a blog about this, shows that I have succumb to my nerd side; thus, the 'nerd' tag.

Computer Game Music

I have a confession to make. I collect computer game music.

Yes, it's true. I have a little over 100 different folders, containing every thing from complete soundtracks to single track treasures. The music takes up about 4 and a quarter gigabytes of hard drive space and is comprised of a variety of stylistically different computer games. However, the bulk of my collection, consists of old Sierra (Sierra On-Line) adventure games.

I am currently organizing each collection, meticulously citing my sources as I make adjustments.

This process seems to never end.

There are titles to verify, track numbers (if ever the music had an order), album titles (if there ever was such a thing; many times, no official soundtrack was ever produced, but rather its form is dictated by the essence of the original game), and of course album art (or in many cases, the picture on the box that the game was sold in).

However, I am nearing the end of my archiving.
