I’ve had to update my Enterprise checklist again. This installment:
Make sure the car doesn’t stink like wet dogs.
I am, again, in awe of the staff of Enterprise Rent-a-Car. They manage to offend me every time I do business with them.
I read through Ed Wood’s Sourdoughs International site again and got to wondering if my standard wild yeast culture was perhaps substandard because I’d “seeded” it with organic raisins. So I mixed up a batch of whole wheat and spelt flour and some spring water and set it out to ferment for a few days. We’ll see what happens.
This sample is more complete than most, with an intro and outro, because I put it together for my answering machine. The basic rhythm features a ride pattern split over 3 sources, played in an even time, so that the ride pattern takes three bars to resolve. This is one of my favorite things to do to add life to a straight-time groove because the cymbal pulse comes at odd-feeling times, e.g. 1, and of 2, 4, and of 1, 3, and of 4, etc.
The snare is totally straight, 2 and 4 with no ghosting.
The kick is somewhat interesting but not so much that I’m going to write anything about it.
Patronize these links, man:
This was one of the first grooves in 7 that I created after not playing for a year or two. The ride pattern alternates between cymbals and takes two bars to resolve — that is, if you start with 1 on the bell, the following 1 will be on the china because there are 7 beats to the bar.
The kick/snare rhythm resurfaces in the Looks Dumb in Sunglasses groove, unintentionally, although that version is in straight time.
Patronize these links, man:
This site relies on Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL. You should be using these tools. Until you do, you’ll never be as cool as me. Heh, maybe not even then.
The design and intent of this site were inspired by CamWorld, memepool, miester.org, and a fever-wracked weekend I spent curled around my toilet during a bout with Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome.
