I'm back, by Paul Rubenstein
track by Paul Rubenstein

Just posted a new piece... the first complete song I've recorded in a very long time. Kind of a heavy jazz thing, like if Motorhead played jazz as the opening act for a puppet show. Or something. Enjoy.

It's not an unreasonable assumption at this point that about 99.9% of my "followers" have me on mute. Not sure if there's much value in continuing here.

Just got sent a video from one of my customers, of a song he did using one of my two-string pickups to an octave-down pedal. He was asking about ordering another for his other guitar. Heavy sound. Reminds me of Randy Holden, Population II. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBsd...

Not able to view my feed. Some kind of network error. I think it may be related to the last firefox update. Anyone else had this problem? Found a solution?

This thrift store vase was a prime candidate for transformation into a drum, so I had to do it. My computer speakers don't do justice to the bass frequencies, so listen in headphones if you have the option and you're not hearing the bass.

So, the rapture happened this morning. Apparently there were only 67 people worldwide who made the cut. My condolences to anyone who expected to be gone and is still here. It only happens once, there won't be another shot. No, you didn't get the date wrong. That was it. Make the best of it.

This is the closest I've written and Gamelan wasn't even the influence. As I was finishing the album, I started to listen a LOT of Gamelan.

My taskbar is cycling through different colors... gray, green, blue. (Windows 10). I have no idea why. A search shows nothing, and changing the color settings does nothing. It's annoying. Anyone else experiencing this?

See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

As a result of all this, for me, the expression, "planting a double double" will now and forever mean, "taking a big shit, usually somewhere inappropriate", though I don't expect there to (and actively hope there won't) be much opportunity to use it.

I've shown here before an example of one of the udu drums I've made from thrift store vases... I've recently discovered a few easy ways of adding plastic drumheads to these, in new holes. It takes it to a another level, with elements of tablas and African talking drums. Will post clips soon...
Made an udu drum yesterday, from a vase I picked up at a thrift store for $3! It's really easy to transform a vase into an udu drum, so long as you find one that's the right shape. If you hit the top with your palm there should be a satisfying "bwoomp" sound. Continued...

Just uploaded a new song, but this one's not for the album. It's just too goofy. Hints of Zappa, maybe? Or maybe that's a stretch. You tell me.
