Mr. Speaker

Yes, yes, yes… It’s been a LONG time since the last post in the Earwax category. It’s not that I haven’t been doing any tracks - It’s that I haven’t been finishing them. I’ve explained about my attention span before, I’m sure.

Anyway, here I present to you a glitchy, bell-y piece I’m pretty happy with - I’d been toying with the ideas in it for a while, and plopped it out on the long weekend (which seems like it was oh-so-long-ago now).

It’s called Happy (Hardcore). But it’s not particularly happy or hardcore. And certainly isn’t Happy Hardcore. Pffft. Whatever.

It makes me sad every time, but summer is drawing to a close around these parts. Not that the cold days ahead won’t be filled with merriment and valid excuses not to do anything on the weekend, but winter does put a stop to festive times of the summer staple: a good old barbecue.

Of course, the communal nature of a BBQ means your not-products can be in danger of being infected by the fats and flavours of the not-so-not-products that surround them. This means you can enjoy the taste sensations enjoyed by the normal person, yet still take the moral high-ground of the vegetarian! Win-win!

I was getting scared there for a minute. It had been at least a few weeks since I last found something on the interweb that rocked my web-based world.

Things were getting desperate, and for a moment I feared I might be forced to go back and work on one of my half-finished projects or something. But I was saved. Saved by the crunchy goodness of Chickenfoot. Yes, Chickenfoot will (slightly) change your life.

Chickenfoot must be compared to Greasemonkey. Indeed, from the vague description I was given at Sydney BarCamp (I was told the wrong session time, and missed the actual demo) I assumed it was just someone re-inventing the monkey.

But I was wrong. Slightly wrong.
