Except I cheated and spent more time on it.

Here are the random clips I made it out of:

Hanging in there

It’s been a while since I’ve updated, but I’ve been doing my best to keep busy over these past few months. Here’s a quick update:

I’ve been recording a lot of radio interviews. Notably, I did a handful of tapings with producer David Schulman for Weekend America’s (R.I.P.) “Conversations with America” series. (Check out: Moustafa Bayoumi, Annette Gordon-Reed, and Le Thi Diem Thuy.) I also got a production credit on a “Global Hit” segment on PRI/BBC’s The World.

I’ve also started engineering and occasionally also producing for Antenna Audio, a company specializing in museum audio tours. (Special thanks to Cyrus Farivar for introducing me to them!) In addition to a bunch of recordings and podcasts, I was also a producer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Choirs of Angels” audio tour.

The amazing non-profit Spanish language arts and education organization, El Taller Latino, continues into its 30th year despite the difficult economic times, and I’ve continued to help them produce concerts and recordings.

Aside from that, I’ve been producing beats for a young rapper—maybe he’ll let me post some audio links of our work in the near future.

But I could always be busier.  If you’re a producer, an engineer, radio station, or musician looking for some extra help, don’t hesitate to drop to drop me a line!

“Hey donkey, what’s going on? …

No, those are just female moose!

…Alright. Say ‘hi’ to your mother for me.”

It seems improbable (and to my eye the “vote” flag seem out of place from a design perspective if not photoshopped), but I haven’t heard anyone calling “fake” yet.  So then, what was she thinking? I suppose wearing the symbol of your opposition is “mavericky.” At least that’s a nice word for it.

Maybe the scarf is part of the $150,000 the RNC has spent on her clothes. For those of you who like math, that’s $2,500 a day–or equal to one of McCain’s annual health insurance tax credits (for individuals) every single day.

* It’s a reference to last weekend’s SNL skit with Mark Whalberg, NOT “that one” with Palin.
