TDTP is Addicting

For the past few days I have been listening to albums released within this year. One album I stumbled upon was Addicted by The Devin Townsend Project. After listening to this release, I went on Devin Townsend's official Youtube page to watch some videos of him recording. One video was showing the layering on the song 'Supercrush!'. This was an eye opening video showing all the parts to create the behemoth sound for the track. There are lots of small parts that layer together to create this sound. A voice part will have up to 5 effects on it. The chorus has some echo and also backed by a simple guitar track following the vocal patter of Devin Townsend.

The man is a genius and I am now going back to all his releases from his solo project and his metal band Strapping Young Lad. I am hearing small parts he has inserted to create the signature Devin Townsend sound. The man is truly an inspirational artist and deserves more fans for his work.

On top of being a great musician, he is also an owner of his own record label HeavyDevy Records. This distributes all his releases, even his Strapping Young Lad albums which were released on Century Media

I at the moment own:
Solo
-Ocean Machine: Biomech
-Terria (Special Limited Edition)

Strapping Young Lad
-City
-No Sleep 'Till Bedtime
-Alien
-The New Black

I will be working at buying the rest of his work.

2010 Torch Running

So there is alot of excitement for the Olympics 2010. Today at 6am I got to see the running of the torch. Early, cold and worth it.

When I first walked out of my place I was given a Royal Bank tambourine so I put that under my arms for the time. It was way to cold to hold onto it with my hands. After awhile we saw the vehicles down the street escorting the torch carer.

First we saw like a small bus holding all the other carer's in their white suits. After that was a Royal Bank and Coca Cola vehicles with employees. One of the ones from Coca Cola gave me and my mom a bottle of Coca Cola.

After all this we got to see the torch carer. When they stopped at the lights, another girl came up and lit her torch off the current runner and started going with the next part of the run. It was early but it was pretty cool lifetime chance.

Here is a video I made of the coke bottle I got:

Wild Arms 3

Ever since we got a new TV, I have been playing my ps2 alot. I have been playing the game Wild Arms 3. I am in love with this game at the moment. If anyone knows this game, I have just finished the Gemstone Cave, and am going to start doing the Secret Garden Sidequest.

Such a great game for anyone that likes RPG's.
