It Will Be Mine

Oh yes.

I got word from my awesome Sweetwater rep. today that my APC40 will ship on the 29th or 30th of the month. I can’t wait to get my hands on this thing.

Thankfully, it works with Ableton Live 7 as well as 8 because I am still stuck on 7 at the moment. Upgrading has not been in the budget with Capitals playoff tickets being added to the expenses. They should just add 4 rounds of playoff tickets to season ticket packages, and simply reimburse or credit account holders the difference if the team is eliminated early or doesn’t make the playoffs. Would make budgeting much easier.

Capitals Eliminated in Game 7

Posted by on May 14, 2009 3 comments

The Penguins’ relentless forecheck finally took its toll. The dam was broken and on came the goals.

The Capitals never had a sniff last night. They came out hard in the third and at least made a period of it, but from Marc-Andre Fleury’s incredible stop on Ovechkin’s breakaway in the first, the Penguins were the better team, and they deserved the win.

To be brutally honest, I was surprised that it went to 7 games. Every game was a one-goal difference. The Capitals were outshot and outworked on the boards for 5 of 7 games, after winning the first two at home. A blowout was bound to happen. Just so happens it was Game 7 and the Caps don’t get another chance this year.

Breakdown day is tomorrow, and we’ll hear what has been ailing Mike Green, who has been nearly invisible in the playoffs.

Boston is my #2 team, so I’ll pull for them the rest of the way. Blackhawks are my #1 team in the west, so I’ll pull for them too. There’s still quite a bit of good hockey left to watch.

I played the second DC Raves Radio House Party on Saturday Night and recorded my set.

A lot of the same tracks I played in Seattle, but some other stuff too. All psytrance with some breaks thrown in for good measure.

At least my laptop didn’t crash halfway through this time, which is good.

Tracklisting:

Ananda Shake – America’s Dream
Indra – Killing The Music
Braniac – Hyperphysics
Dapanji – Attention Please
Dapanji – LSD 25
CPU – Expander
Adam Freeland – We Want Your Soul (Club Mix)
Dylan Rhymes feat. Pablo Decoder – Ctrl Z Remix
CPU – Music
CPU – Morning Drop

Capitals v. Penguins – Game 4

Posted by on May 8, 2009 No comments

Well, I was hoping tonight would be an elimination game, but the Capitals got trounced on Wednesday night. Not trounced so much in the score though. Varlamov was out of his mind once again.

Some takeaways:

  • Caps gave their worst performance of the playoffs. Just horrid.
  • Penguins gave their best of the series for sure. I didn’t watch their last series.
  • Caps still forced OT.
  • Calls went one way all night. I’m not going to say that is bias, because when one team is in their own end all night being handled, they tend to take penalties. It comes with fatigue. However, I will say that when a player gets pushed into the net by an opposing player, and that player is called for delay of game… That’s iffy. And there were other calls just as iffy. But so it goes.
  • When we get some defense, we will be seriously tough to play. Varlamov has kept us in many, MANY games.

Caps are up in the series, two games to one. Tonight has the potential to be a huge momentum booster for the winning team. Unfortunately, game 5 is tomorrow so anything can happen then once fatigue sets in. I’m hoping for no OT tonight, and a win for the Caps of course.

Go Caps!
