Lately, my Mac’s been giving me trouble.  And when I say trouble, I mean overheating and randomly shutting down.  I’ve got no theories as to the cause.  I’m not a computer person, which is why I got a Mac in a first place!

Anyway, I’m just hoping for the best.

I’ve been trying to cut a few demos with it past few days, using GarageBand.  Yeah, I know we sort of dissolved the band, but I’ve been listening to Steely Dan, The Guess Who, and all sorts of other Jazz + Soul music lately.  It’s the kind of stuff that makes you wanna jam, man.  I need a couple of things, though.

First, I need a plug-in to plug-in my guitar to the Mac.  Also, I need a better mic.  And to soundproof the den.  And better speakers.  I wonder if I can buy cheap computer speakers online.  If not, maybe I’ll just go for a good set of earphones.

Tsk.  Reading all that, I feel like such a sell-out.  I bet Burton Cummings of the Guess Who (teehee cummings) never  complained about his equipment.  I bet D. Fagan of Steely Dan (teehee Steely Dan) will rock out, no matter what he had.  I’m a victim of capitalism!

..and now I’m blogging instead of making music.  FAN-TAS-TIC.
