Why do I like Peavey equipment? A silly reason.

I like Peavey because the Peavey logo reminds me of the Star Trek logo. I feel the oppressive loudness of rock is like Klingon oppression. Ok enough silliness. I am buying an early model Peavey Graphic EQ for my rack. This will cost 115$.

I am reading about musical engineering and have almost completed a chapter in a book on basic wave form physics and measures in musical engineering. The book's cite (in legal studies format) is Brice, Richard. Music Engineering: the Electronics of Playing and Recording (Oxford: Newnes, 1998).

Time...a Pink Floyd song? or was it Money?

Computers and smoking take money but more especially time. I make time for my smoking and spent a fair amount of time at the computer. Speaking of smoking I took the PA set up down from the living room and wrapped the mixer up in its plastic bag and put in the office where there is less smoking.

Studying music books.

I am slowly slogging through Neil Nehring's Popular Music, Gender, and Postmoderism: Anger Is an Energy (Thousand Oaks, Cal.: Sage, 1997). In music I also started to read this book this week: Firth, Simon. World Music, Politics and Social Change (Manchester, UK: Manchester University, 1989). Both of these books are critical of the elitism of music studies in universities. I also started to study mixing and effects in the book White, Paul. Basic Effects & Processors (London: SMT;Sanctuary, 2003).

I set up everything in our living room.

Odd you say well yes. I set up the mixer, rack case, power amp and speakers in the living room. We are getting ready to practice with our former guiatrist.
