Camera for Music Blog

I'm starting a blog that reviews music in and around the Portland/Seattle scene and the bands that come thru here. I've already set things up at

http://crunchymusic.blogspot.com/

and have one band already on there, and waiting to inverview them. I'm going to review live shows, and would like to take pictures of them to put on my blog.

If you pitch in you'll be helping me to make a better review of bands you may not have heard of. This will be a gateway to new music for everyone! I would like a professional camera (about $500), but I think I may be able to find one for as little as $200 on craigslist or something. Also, the pics I don't include in my blog I'll post on here so everyone can see them.

Old People

I am currently working on my debut album Wrong Side of the Bed. For those of you that don't know about my work, I make Comedy/Parody music. This particular proposal is about a new song for the album called Old People. This is a parody of My Chemical Romance's hit "Teenagers". For more inofrmation visit www.oddaustin.com or if you want to know more about the song email me at oddaustin@oddaustin.com. If you donate send me your name at this email address and I will put your name in the album printings "Special Thanks To" section when it is released.

Fractal Music

I am writing an electronic piece for the 2008 CABY Awards show in March. The piece will be composed in Csound and will be inspired by and centered around the theme of fractals. I will use a fractal algorithm to create sounds and generate parts of the music. The work will premiere in front of a select audience of about 200 people. Fractal artwork will be projected onscreen/onstage while my music plays.

This is big opportunity to bring modern experimental electronic music to an audience who doesn't normally hear this kind of stuff. It's a ritzy event, red carpet affair and all.

All pledgers will receive the mp3 of course and will also be credited on my website. Pledgers who contribute $25 or more will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift certificate. Thanks for your support!

When that happens If the solider survives, it�s their country's duty to put him back together again, something that's not always easy, and sometimes, not even possible. This is the story of one such solider, a Special Forcers Master Sergeant maimed In an act of heroism and love lost only two remember and both want to forget- and It was for nothing. What would you do if you went to war and it was worse when you got back? What would you be capable of in his boots, in the dark underbelly of a city gone to hell - you suddenly found a way out a way to undo your life's mistakes and start over.

REVIEWS
"Bring the Pain is a visual array of action artistic fascination, and imagination that rivals many professional works out today. Falling hand in hand with an exciting, excellently arranged story and filled with the extremes of emotions. Bring the Pain captivates the reader from the very beginning."
-David Nobel FFQ Fan Film Quarterly

"I was blown away. Think Larry Hama meets Tarantino and you will get a better idea of what this book is like. The book explores a darker side of the anti-terrorist task force as never seen before in print, or ANY media for that matter."
William McKenzie Fanboy Theatre
