Selling My Synth

Few years back I had bought a 1982 Moog MG-1 Concertmate. Believe me, it's about as raw as you can get for a commercial synthesizer. The thing pumps out some beautiful tones and noise. Unfortunately, after about a year of owning it, it's been nothing but keeping space on a shelf. With that said, I'm thinking I'm going to throw it on eBay soon (fun fact, it has gone up in value 25% since buying!) to see what I can get out of it. Upon this decision, I decided to fish around for some of my old tracks I made with it so I could share them with potential buyers. I must have hit a nostalgic nerve or something, bceause now it seems hard to part with. Please feel free to check out a couple classics from Nick's home recording studio days:
 
 
 
And my personal favourite:

Summer 07 Update

Alright, when I'm in a blogging rut, I usually make some sort of quasi-annual list of stuff that has been going on. I believe they usually come around this time of year as there is a fair amount going on and then I do one around February since absolutely nothing goes on around then. Without further redo, here's some thoughts, happenings, future references, etc.
  • Summer 07 has been really, really, really good for me. Summer 06 I did not care as much for as there was a lot of weird stuff going on. '06 contained New Job, Loss of roommates, buttloads of side work, engagement, no summer events, etc. Munnnndane. '07 is pretty happening and we are taking advantage of every part of it.
  • Duluth was a great "Second Honeymoon". I wish we had stayed up there four days instead of three. We took it for what it was, however, and really enjoyed it. Watched enormous tugs come in under the raising bridge, Swam (more waded as it was intensely cold) in beautiful lake superior, ate a ton, shopped, watched a sunrise, laughed and enjoyed each other's company.
  • Landscaping is still going on. I still need to take out some rock and we are waiting for a few loads of dirt to fill the sides of the house with.
  • Wood trim and painting is also a never-ending project at our place. This year, it seems I lack the panache to get the jobs done. The weeks go by so awfully fast, it's ridiculous.
  • Sidework is coming in at a perfect pace. Just enough to get me a little extra cash on the side. I don't need sidework only to survive like I did the last few years, which is a great feeling. I'll display my most recent works once they are complete.
  • Jacinda is still the best person to have ever entered my life.
  • I think Mafesta finally bit the bullet.
  • Fav. Bands are He Is Legend, Drive-By Truckers, Black Keys, Weezer.
  • I am still into Coffee, Pictures, Nintendo DS, Smash Bros, Cooking, Gardening, Internetz and Walking.

So there it be. The Summer of 2007 events list.
