Can i get a snickers... and um... some WEED?!
Linda Young - AHN Editor Wilshire, CA (AHN) - People can buy many things in vending machines, from candy and chips to sandwiches, aspirin and now medicinal marijuana. Yep. Marijuana dispensing vending machines now exist.

1st full rehearsal
yup yup. This evening echosuite embarked on it’s first full band rehearsal. 6 people. B. Moon, Dillepan, Justin, Caitlin, Joey and Adam. Hoo-rah. Sounds great! As of now we have a launch date of February 17th for our Myspace site. Which means that vocals need to be tracked, and the record (i’m calling it that though it’s really going to be an EP) needs to be mixed and...

Day 3: 7 drum tracks complete!
Disarmed Drain the Lake Battles End The Rock Break me Down The Great Ruse No Replacing ‘Twas a long wonderfully satisfying weekend. Adam played extremely well.

We made some...

An old letter to some friends...
My friend Brian (http://www.thisisbk.com) posted the letter below. I wrote it a little over two months ago. I sit awake now, at 5:41 am… deep in the mixing process (which for me is a LOT of listening and researching anything music related online while Billy Moon does his thing). I re-read this and think about where I was at 2 months ago and where I am at now. It’s a very similar...

This is very important for any music listener to read.
Basically… people are getting spoon fed shit files instead of letting the real beauty of audio and mixing shine through. THIS WILL EXPLAIN!
