I have a Date with Me Myself and Cry

There is nothing to cry about other then the fact that i have not updated my blog in over a month i think? my legion of 8 subscribers have in my own imagination been filling my inbox with messages of them threatening to commit suicide if i don't, and if there should be a random fact that should be known about me it's that i am a sucker at aiming to please most request . . . even if imaginary.

i don't have allot to talk about, so why not talk about what everyone loves to talk about the most . . . "ME" (well not me really, i recall 15 years ago being told by an old friend that the key to prolonging a conversation or even starting one is to ask the person questions about them because everyone loves to talk about themselves.)
often people are curious as to know if i am making music and the answer is Yes, of course i am, there would never be a reason to not make music and i hope that day never comes where i come to a sudden realization that what i love to do the most just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
i am not necessarily making breakcore at the moment which is how i some what gained some notoriety. i am not holding any pent up aggression and truth be known that allot of my old breakcore was fueled by the jealousy of other successful breakcore musicians, i would hear their music and think to myself, what is this bullshit!? i can make something better! or try at least. granted i had some interesting ideas but my old stuff is fucking raw and mastered like a 2'nd grader fiddled around with the mastering board. but yeah i make music all the time weather it be some 8bit dubstep or it be melancholic piano ballads, i have even started to dab in a little bit of ambient. allot of it stays on my hard drive because i am pretty shy now days about sending my stuff out to labels, not that i ever did but i am my own worse critic. i just feel like it's never good enough to be appreciated to how i feel it should really be appreciated, and that is why i have remained Under Ground . . .out of fear of rejection. ooh speaking of Rejection


I AM PLAYING THE RIVERSIDE 8-BIT PROM



Awwwwwww Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah!
and i'll have you know that before anything else i have never been to prom and I have a Date!!!!!! Yes with the most beautiful girl i have ever laid eyes on . . . well besides whoever this chick is
who ever the fuck that is would get butt fucked the fuck up by yours truly. . .Mmm hmmmm.
Ahh yes Rachael McMormick the girl Next Door, The Girl who i have had a Crush on for over 20 years will be attending the Prom with me.
Geez, even her name sounds like it's straight out of a Sitcom from the early 90's
Rachael McCormick is my is my Kimmy Gibbler . . . . errr i mean Winnie Cooper of my youth and still to this day, haha and she is well aware of my infatuation with her because i pretty much remind her when ever i get the chance.
Imaginary Reader in My head: What, post some pics of this Beauty you speak of!
Me: ahh yes but of Course.
And with the permission of Rachael of course here is the earliest image i have of her via High school,


what year it is escapes me. but i have known her since fall of 1990. and a pic of her which brings us back to a recent more modern time with the whole fad of Girls that like to post pictures of themselves via Mirror+iphone. haha before i do so, lil fact/Pact i have made with rachael is that if we are not married by the age of 40, we are to be married, so you know my soul purpose till the age of 40 is to Cock Block the fuck out this beautiful dame til the day it strikes 12:00 am on her 40th Birthday. she is well aware of this =)


Oh Rachael, Marry me Now won't you, Don't let me anticipate our honeymoon .. . Err i mean our Wedding Day anymore. Le sigh but as they say, great things come to those who wait . . And even My Love can Wait.

ooooooooook so now that we have that off my chest i Will be Performing at 8:30 pm.-9:pm and then for another twenty minutes at 9:40.
this is a total Crush to my /ego, for i have never opened that early, but then again i am reminded that i am only internationally internet Famous (to some extent) and not locally, i must make a name for myself in my vicinity before i can make one across the planet, but i am way honored and stoked that they allowed me to play this event after me Asking to do so.
i had to, old school Nes music is ma shit right there dawg, and the chance to play some melodic stuff is very cathartic. i have not performed in a while since halloween. and performing live is the best therapy treatment for any suppressed feelings anyone might have, plus i'm hoping i'll be able to sell some merch because i am super broke!

which brings us to one of my recent new favorite sites, Fiverr a site where you can do Almost anything for 5 bucks. and i have.
i made one that offered
I will make a Elctronic song or piano ballad inspired by a picture of you, or a poem you wrote or picture you painted or drew for $5
which to yours and my surprise has made me a lil bit of profit. so yeah, if you want me to make you a song you know how to go about it.
also i'd like to mention that i met a pretty rad Cartoonist that was curious as to how it would sound if his work was transcribed into melodies and was satisfied with the delivery, it was a challenge if i might add but i did my best. and to show his appreciation he drew a portrait of me! Well appreciated Mate, fuckin wicked!
check out his Work!

So i rekkon i should post some Audio eh? i love when blogs have audio clips!
here is the song inspired by his Art

so, since we are still on the topic of myself, here are some new tunes i have posted on Soundcloud!

Cex (http://twitter.com/#!/cexmang) as you may know him from his release from Venetian Snares Album "The connected Series 2" or for opening up for The Postal Service a few years back, hit me up to do a remix for his forthcoming release on Tigerbeat6 , i said fuck yes.
i don't know the Release day just yet, all i know is that Kid606 has done the mastering for it, so i was stoked to hear about that
I met him a couple of years back at a show here in Riverside at the UCR Barn, i came up to him all wide eyed and stoked that a idm superstar was in the vicinity of this shit community known as The Inland Empire, we kinda hit it off, first it was like "oh shit what's up, how did you get to do those shows with the postal service/release with snares, to bonding about our favorite poster on this persnickety IDM forum known as We are The Music Makers, AKA Wattm. i ended up doing a release for Automation records and i assume that's how he came across my music.

Cex - Trumpet (Producer Snafu Remix) by Producer Snafu

here is a dubstep /chiptune track i made especially to drop at the next upcoming gig
Producer Snafu - Bass Ship by Producer Snafu

this next track tittle was inspired by a lil girl who i saw in this documentary called The Secrets of the Wild child

who was raised in her bedroom without learning how to walk or talk for how many years i forget, i found myself feeling guilty for inflicting myself in my room like a hermit for almost 6 years i have confined myself it seems so i gave it that tittle. the emotions go all over the place from pity to struggling with emotions to just a jealous rage and destitute. hope you guys enjoy!

Producer Snafu - 6 years by Producer Snafu

holy shit, this long took way to long to complete, i hope my legion and faithful followers of 8 enjoy this content i have provided, and if ya didn't i'm not gonna act like i don't give a fuck, which brings me to this subject.

Bringing your Drama to the Internet

often i see in my twitter feed or facebook feed about people rudely expressing how they don't give a fuck about so and so, or how some hater has tried to affect them and how they "don't give a Fuck" or how so and so is a bitch and i hate my baby mama and i hate my baby daddy. i dunno why but this upsets me, i'm a chill dude who just likes to laugh and when i see others who are not able to vent their frustration in some expressive form other then to spread their anger on the internet, and if you didn't notice, Anger is Contagious, contagious anger is Stupid! (that's an old song by the way, you can find that mess here with the rest.) i can't help them with their problems but so all i can do is just suggest that they make music art, craft, build and design, i know that sounds hippie-ish but i promise that there is nothing more cathartic then to create based on your emotions. Art is beautiful.

i'll have more content later on in the Week, i'll be posting a podcast i participated and some other interviews. i hope you guys enjoyed the content i have provided. <3
