Angry Robot Remix

Things have been a whirlwind around here and I just realized that I never posted my entry to the Angry Robot Remix contest.

You see, Angry Robot Books has a theme song composed by John Anealio and they thought it would be great fun to have people remix it. They posted the original song elements and a contest was born.

The contest closed on April 1st. I’m not sure how many entries there were, but they are now being judged. The winner gets a role in Matt Forbeck’s next novel for Angry Robot – and a very nasty death is guaranteed too!

Below you will find my submission. The original version can be found on John’s bandcamp page.

A little about my mix:

  • I decided to stay close to the original with some added elements for flavor. Including a “robot voice” seemed a moral imperative.
  • I used all free/open source software for new elements as well as mixing including:

Free Acoustic Show Thursday, Oct 7th

This acoustic show at Fireflies in Arlington, VA will be similar to our appearance at Village Fest. I haven’t been to Fireflies so I’m not sure of the layout. It looks like a nice restaurant/bar so I’m assuming it is kid-friendly.

They boast “50 – 70 bottled and 7 draft American Microbrews” and “15 premium wines all available by the glass” so this will definitely be a place you can get your #Beerquest on!

Where: Fireflies Del Ray
1501 Mt Vernon Ave
Alexandria, Virginia 22301
(703) 548-7200

When: Thursday October 7, 2010 at 8:00pm
Further Info: Fireflies website – warning, it’s an all Flash site

Battle Cancer and See Us Play

Next Wednesday we will be playing a live acoustic show in Alexandria, Virginia. The show is in support of a fund raiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I didn’t realize until yesterday that the day we will be playing is actually the one year anniversary of my brother Jamie’s death from cancer.

I cannot think of a better way to honor his memory – an amazing musician – than playing live and supporting this cause. Jamie had synovial sarcoma which is a soft tissue cancer, whereas Leukemia & Lymphoma Society support blood cancers – but hey – any progress made to eradicate ONE of these bastards is a win against all of them!

Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Time: 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: The Light Horse at 715 King Street in Alexandria, Virginia

Here are the details from the Facebook event page:

Please come out and support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as we raise funds to help prevent blood cancers! Brett and I will be participating in The Nations Triathlon on September 12th. YES,That means swimming in the Potomac!!
