Best Facebook Song EVER?

February 25, 2011 by Mike Leave a Comment

I finally finished the track and accompanying music video for the Mark Zuckerberg Facebook rap, Zuck, On Facebook. Check it out.  (If you like it, please pass it on — it’s just in time for Oscars and the Social Network.)

Need Your Feedback: "Zuck, On Facebook"

February 18, 2011 by Mike 1 Comment

As I recently mentioned, I’ve got a DRAFT of Zuck, On Facebook, my Mark Zuckerberg nerdcore rap ditty.  It was a fun project, and I don’t really know what to make of it. In a couple days, I’ll release a final version, plus a YOUTUBE VIDEO a few days after that.

So, here it is:

Boo-yah…

New Facebook Rap Almost Finished…

February 15, 2011 by Mike 2 Comments

After The Social Network won a Golden Globe for best picture, I was inspired to write a rap (a first for me) from the point of view of Mark Zuckerberg, in response to the movie, the bad press, the law suits, etc etc.

The poor 20-something billionaire deserves a voice, after all….so I thought I’d help with the next best thing — a phat beat.  Other song projects “Avalanche”, “In 9 Months”, and “Thank You” have since been placed on the back burner in favor of attempting to complete both a track and video for my new rap, “Zuck, On Facebook“. Amazingly, despite my long-standing history of taking inordinate amounts of time to complete tracks, I’m virtually done.  All that’s left is mixing in a guest appearance by Girl Crusade in the bridge, a last-minute collaboration we recorded just last night.

The mix should be completed tomorrow, and I’m hoping beyond hope to shoot and edit a basic music video as well, all by next Monday, in time for the Oscars a week later.  Is it possible?  Barely.  Wish me luck as a slave away in my attic…

Girl Crusade's New Track: "The Rumor Song"

March 10, 2008 by Mike Leave a Comment

The ever-so-lovely Girl Crusade recently finished a solid version of her new track, "The Rumor Song".  It’s available for listening in all its chick core rap goodness at GirlCrusade.com.

Check it out, and let us know what you think.  The mp3 sounds pretty different on different speaker systems…it could certainly use some mastering help, but that will have to be left for another day, when we start talking about an actual Girl Crusade album.  Enjoy!

DAW and Girl Crusade Project Update

January 14, 2008 by Mike Leave a Comment

Some good news – the new DAW workstation arrived over the holidays, and seems to be running smoothly with some tweak help from StudioCat.  We had some problems with audio drivers.  I use a Delta 1010LT soundcard, and StudioCat appropriately downloaded the latest version of the M-Audio driver…which performed horribly, and was also missing several customization options that earlier versions had.  So, we downgraded to an older version which now works swimmingly.  Sometimes, older is better.

Now the problem we’re having is that the DAW is still dropping out with a 25-track project I’m working on, despite the fact that the CPU meters are hovering at only 10-20%, and the Disk meter is hovering at around 20-30%.  It’s performing far better than my old machine, however, my old machine would only experience dropouts if the meters were hitting 80-90%.  Weird.

Still, we got a lot of work done with Girl Crusade‘s next song, "The Rumor Song".  Hopefully, we’ll have that for you soon to check out, as  well as my own next track, "Avalanche".  Cheers!
