The follow-up to the first Four Way Hips album. This one's not recorded to a four-track, though.

Electronic with some Brazilian twists and big beats. I think it's a fun record.

If you like Cluster's Zuckerzeit this may be up your alley:

Going through the circle of 5ths can be fun and sound cool?

Transcribing some Sonny Rollins today. This is a thing he plays on Tune Up from Newk's Time. I feel like my sound has gotten a lot better lately. Hard work paying off!

What do we think about the assertion in this meme? I know, we think it's asinine, but I'm looking for specific arguments as to why it's asinine.

So, those pupusas were not great but now I'm unwinding with some Chopin nocturnes and I'm not hungry anymore so all is good. Also since 4pm I've had a glass of wine, two beers and four glasses of whiskey which helps.

Fuck it, I'm making pupusas.

I finally learned the head to this. It took me a couple of days of transcribe it and get it under my fingers. That jump from middle B to low Bb is just brutal. Good practice, though.

Here you can see Idrees Sulieman having trouble with this tune. I feel your pain, Mr. Sulieman!
