Please help us find the stuff and get it back! Vinx's studio, Stank Fish, is in Los Angeles and was set up as a community kind of recording studio where people could come and record cd ready demos or album projects for next to nothing and have access to all the musicians the studio served... There are some talented people in that bunch, and I recently took advantage of them myself and recorded there, it was a great place to hang and record, and was set up with a very Whoville kind of vibe. It was great to see Vinx's vision of this space come to fruition, and he invested a great deal of money, time, heart into it. Vinx also set up a performance/coffeehouse space in the apartment next to the studio, and filled it with an amazing sound sytem where people could both perform and rehearse. Comedians, musicians, bands, an open stage all were happening in this little room, and I performed there in July as well, and had an excellent time. Vinx left for his own group of performances across the ocean, and someone, probably someone in the community, came in the dead of night and took his every mike, his every cable, his pre-amps, compressors, adats, computers, PA system, packed and stacked all of his racks in a van and drove away... leaving the place in shambles, empty wine bottles on the floor... The laws of karma dictate that whomever the culprit was will be disgraced and tarred and feathered, hopefully publically, and if he was a member of the community created by this space-- well more karma comes with the package, ... i thought I might add to those zen possibilities by just getting the word out to as many people as possible, and, so-- here I type-- please be aware of suspicious equipment being sold in LA, or on-line, or the sudden emergence of someone's home studio being fully furnished out of the blue in California... If you have any leads or suspicions, let us know! and have the merriest of merrys...

Surrounded by such a technological group on this list, I can't believe I'm the first person to have seen this but... This evening, I got to open one of my Christmas presents early and, to my delight, it was a Portable Sport Audio MP3 Player (a tiny little Rio that can hold up to 2 hours of MP3's - great for the gym!). Here's the cool part, though - in the manual that comes with the it, there is a little diagram showing you how the program should look when you install it on your computer and the song that's "playing" in the diagram is "The Next Best Western"! Then, below that, in the next diagram, is a little playlist of songs and on it are both Richard's "Transit" and the Lucy Kaplansky song "Still Life" (alongside songs by Melissa Etheridge, Mary Chapin Carpenter, The Bangles, Roseanne Cash, and even Julie Miller!). I just about peed my pants, I was so surprised. Kerry :) p.s. Lest this spark some kind of big MP3 debate, NO, I won't be using this to download music for free and rip off musicians. I will be putting on MP3's made from my own CD collection, just like if I made a mix tape to listen to.
