fuzmeister: I'll See Your Post and Raise You A Post of My Own
I feel like too much time passes these days between Vent posts. I am including myself in that statement as well. However, what can you expect with micro social media, smartphones, and toilet seats that automatically tweet our bathroom activities?! OK - that last one is false, but I do believe it is coming in the near future.

I guess, at its core, keeping up with a blog or any social media type service is essentially catering to your own ego. I try to make a conscious effort to legitimately provide information on little projects one or two of you may be interested in though.

With that being said, I am working on a new game dev project. I posted some vague words a month or so ago. I didn't (and still don't) want to get ahead of myself, so I'm avoiding providing a lot of information just yet. For example, don't ask me what capacity it will be released in, because I simply just don't have the answer yet. Right now, it's just me working on stuff, so it's slow going. I'm really happy with what's been done thus far though and, hopefully, I'll be able to provide more concrete information by the end of the year.

I'm also trying to balance writing new demos for the next Steve Thompson album. I have a handful of demos completely done and, I have to say, things are sounding fairly interesting. I've felt a lot of inspiration from The Beatles' self-titled (white) album which just has a total hodge-podge of styles between songs. Expect an album that is much smaller in scope, but hopefully equal in terms of sonic diversity. I'm shooting for a 2014 release, but I feel like it's never good to plan things too rigidly.

The hardest part is balancing everything listed in addition to the whole day job thing. That's a drag, mang.

fuzmeister: Oh! Sweet Irony!
Does anyone else realize the irony of posting something on the internet, but prefacing it by saying "I don't want to give too much away?"

Well, I don't want to give too much away, but I've been hard at work on a little pet project the past two weeks. It's game development related and separate from my musical pursuits. I'll probably start rolling out some gradual details soon... in fact, why am I even writing this now?

I guess sometimes the mood just strikes and you have to strike back... hard.

Mood: Busy
Music: Drummer - Feel Good Together

fuzmeister: Almost Forgot...
I finally ordered these... maybe ten years too late.



These are fantastic soundtracks even if you're not a fan of the show or anime in general. If you have an appreciation of jazz, you owe it to yourself to check these out!

Mood: Still Excited
Music: Tobacco - Truck Sweat

fuzmeister: Shadow Lounge
I am playing a gig tonight at the Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh. This is significant mostly because it's the first gig I'm playing in almost two years with a full band set up. The new outfit is called Steve Thompson&The Professionals and we're mostly working with my newer songs from God's Justice.

I'm pretty darn excited about it. If anyone who reads Vent will be in the area (highly unlikely), stop by. :)

Some videos and/or photos could surface after the show as well!

Mood: Excited
Music: Neu! - After Eight

fuzmeister: Rush
I'm going to see Rush tonight in Pittsburgh. I accidentally saw the tour's setlist yesterday and was quite sad.

I am alright with them playing the majority of their new album, but it looks like their mid-to-late eighties period is heavily represented as well. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. That era just wasn't my thing - too many synthesizers, man.

At least they'll probably play Tom Sawyer and Working Man. And, hey, if you think I'm overreacting, here's a little reminder of their awesome mid-to-late eighties output.



Mood: Slightly Disappointed
Music: Rush - BU2B
