I took the opportunity today to make a little noise in my home studio. I gave my new Tranzport Wireless Controller a good workout. This little “must have” accessory for my studio allows me to control my PC via a wireless connection while I’m in the other room playing guitar or […]

Free MP3s!
I found that TripleJ (Australian Radio Station) have uploaded quite a few good mp3s to their web site for everyone to freely download. While you probably haven’t heard of any of these artists, it doesn’t matter since they are great! My favourite at the moment is “You Kill Me” by Bertie Blackman. You can download […]
