Steamshovel Harry music
8 Tem 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
I got some requests for the Steamshovel Harry music, so here’s the theme + vocals and the anthem: Steamshovel Harry [4.8 MB MP3] Earth’s Planetary Anthem [2.4 MB MP3] -
Steamshovel Harry
6 Tem 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
My buddy Allen was working on a game called Steamshovel Harry and I wrote some music and forced my crappy autotuned vocals into it. I had never written an anthem before, so that was pretty fun. Warning: it will haunt you. Update: By popular request, I’ve posted the music from the game. -
Show time
4 Tem 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Tonight’s my first show since the crappy Denver one in November and my first since breaking up the previous live band. As I’ve mentioned, the last band setup was super fun and a great learning experience, but I got a lot of comments/complaints that it didn’t sound much like my albums (it was a harder [. … -
Michael Jackson
26 Haz 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Welp, Michael Jackson died. What can you even say about that? Like many, he was a hero of mine and then he was kind of a monster. It was probably a good learning experience to have to reconcile those two things at a young age. It’s hard for me to feel sad that he died [...] -

This Meeting (demo)
22 Haz 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
June demo: This Meeting [4 MB]. I’ve been rearranging my office/studio place here with one of the goals being to achieve better quality recordings and mixes. Unfortunately I’m only half done... -
Heart and Soul (cover)
10 Haz 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
So I failed at finishing a demo for May and I resolved to find an embarrassing enough apology cover to do. Here’s a rough cover of Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis and the News (but originally by Exile) to show you I’m sorry. Thanks to Ben for help with the guitars and bass. -
Reaper 3
10 Haz 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Reaper 3 came out a little while ago and I’ve mentioned that I’m experimenting with switching to it from Cubase. So far I can’t imagine going back to Cubase. Some of the things I like: It’s fast and small. While the 4.4MB installer file size is great, it’s the responsiveness and quick loading time that [. … -
Ottawa crime data lock-in
29 May 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Here is a nerdy data complaint: Earlier this year the Ottawa Police announced they would be publishing daily crime data via CrimeReports.com, it’s a nice searchable interface using Google Maps. I loved the idea and thought it was fantastic that citizens had an easy way to search and view this data. … -
Demo fail
28 May 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Looks like I’m gonna fail on getting a demo out this month. The new web design kinda ate up my Brad Sucks time, but that’s no excuse. I’ll have to think of an appropriately humiliating punishment. -
Wolfram|Alpha
16 May 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
I’ve been so-so about the Wolfram|Alpha hype, but it finally launched and it’s definitely neat. Comparing it to Google is semi-ridiculous as Google uses structured data and “facts” only as an afterthought. The servers are taking a beating right now, but here are some queries that were interesting to me: … -
Taking care of business
14 May 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
I’m at this weird point in my music “career” where doing it all myself is getting hard to maintain. I’m naturally cagey about involving anyone else in my stuff but it’s probably time to delegate some of the things I’m not good at (booking, promotion, talking to other human beings). … -
Dirtbag on JamLegend
13 May 2009 | kaynak: www.bradsucks.net
Someone suggested I submit my stuff to JamLegend, which is a browser-based Rock Band kind of thing, so I did that. Now Dirtbag is online there. The most recent comment right now says: “vry easy song and boring”. I got 96% accuracy on my first run. Update: Making Me Nervous is also online. -
New website

Hey, it’s my new website! That was a hell of a lot of work and a rough transition today but it seems to mostly be online and working. Tweaks are forthcoming. -
