Freak Kitchen & Rikugo LIVE! Club Quattro Osaka 2025/9/16: Behind The Scenes
It was truly amazing to see Freak Kitchen LIVE this week. It was billed as first time in 22 years , but Mattias said this week was actual...

Will be heading off in a bit to Osaka for the Feak Kitchen/ Rikugo gig. Have a Hotel 4min from the venue for tonight so can chat and not have to rush home on one of the last trains. Have stickers to give away too😀

Are SHORTs only relevant because all of us have been bombarded with short advertising? This is revised version of one of my own fairly popular attempts, and no one cares less about the music, just the silly monster. 🤔

Got this 2021 MORTTAI-NAI project to load and use my current plugins and IRs in the New Win11 PC. Changed drums and central guitar. Oh, what a waste so much is, and Freak Kitchen was such an influence, so recently...

Freak Kitchen Osaka Live Sep 16, revised!
Looking forward to it. Haven't been to such a concert in decades! Just hope my old phone doesn't break down or such with the phone only ticketing system. 😀
22 years since their last tour of Japan.

So 60 seconds of URASAWA NAOKI's "Yurei", but in English with Synths and METAL GUITAR🤘
He actually sings "no one else can see us", which may make sense in Japan, but "only having eyes for each other" is an Idiom in English for a couple in love.

Recent Rick Beato video on his constant battle with Record Labels and their claims over music clips on his channel. But how come YouTube isn't listening and doing something about constant, invalid claims, from the same companies? No bans, like they do to content creators themselves?

CEOs that have focused on shareholder value have ruined their companies future e.g.Intel.
Apple gave leadership of high-end semiconductors to Taiwan because of their focus on Shareholder Value rather than the cheaper investment in their own capability and future.

Win 11 last update KB5063878 TRASHES SSDs if you do lots of big file writes, like extracting big archives e.g. games.

I don't seem to have any problems ...yet. My music/ animation stuff doesn't do that, but guess the next Win11 update will☹️

DEVO documentary was really interesting. Smart guys with something worthwhile to say. And an audience that didn't get what they were saying...

Such a smart contrast to THE DIRT & STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON...

Kids and grandson went back home yesterday after a week stay with us. Wonderful when they visit, and so good when they leave again. The cats are much happier too.

Synths & Guitars, and I don't care if that isn't in fashion... #music #comic

Audio Nerding Out.
So made an EQ matching my phones sound on music. Allows to me to check my mixes in the DAW and change it to suit, if I could be bothered😄.
But, if you are listening on a Phone Speaker, you don't care about quality...

Will be grandfathering for the next week with kids and grandson visiting from Chiba. 😀
If things go as they did the last 2 years, I will spend the following 2 weeks recovering from the lurgy they brought with them. 😟

Two Band Documentaries On Netflix at the moment.
Lots of stupid things done by all. NWA must have been such a uniting tribal force, like "Do They Know It Is Christmas?" was for the privileged westerners🤡

BS12 has a live coverage of motorcycle race today.
Father loved watching this, but bikes never appealed to me.

Having a party, and accidently, a record session break out, is how I remember T-REX sounding. CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION, "I drive a Rolls-Royce 'cuase it is good for my voice", the track I usually think of, but most of their lyrics don't make much sense to me... 20C BOYS from 1973

Morning at a cafe near the Mall with that coffee & music thing.
Maybe "easiest" to get a MOUSE PC thru EDION. Will find out when they open.
Win11, i7, 32G, drive 2 monitors + HDMI & lots of USB. Not a gamer, but that spec means low end gamer here.

So Japan paid the eye watering bribe to have their tariffs reduced to 15%.
That bribe money just goes to his Orangeness doesn't it? Unbelievable... ☹️

Heads It Is...
Caricatures and rough sketches, to a mostly VITAL vst synth... Never really did much with VITAL before, just the FREE version for an awesome bass sound, but playing with the presets found the main thing in this and love it. #music #cartoons
