Versatile Blogger Award (part 1)

Nuno is another regular at the Guitarnoise forums, and writes (or more accurately draws) the Vinyl Eraser blog. He's also possibly the only person who actually reads this blog (Hi! Well, that's not strictly true.) and passed along the Versatile Blogger Award to me (thankyou). This gives me a slight dilemma, first I usually avoid chain memes, but this is quite a nice idea which I'd be happy to pass on, except that second I don't really read any blogs regularly, certainly not enough to recommend 15 to anyone. So The Plan is to hold this in reserve until some point in the future. In the meantime, look forward to my attempt to repair a water damaged Pocket Pod...

I ended up getting one of these a little while ago while looking for something that was more of an all-rounder than my last practice amp.

Pure drumming

All too often I find ways to distract myself when I've intended to do some guitar practice. Recently I thought it would be nice to create some drum tracks to play with. "No problem!" You say, "Use Hydrogen ." This is a start, but what if you don't know much about drumming and find clicking beats on a track comes out a bit flat? The first thing to come to mind was to try some MIDI pads, but that seemed like overkill, especially when something with buttons on it was much closer to hand—my Xbox 360 controller.
