A
little info about a couple of brand-new Badger projects.
Well,
I'm going to try to not get too sentimental about my mum tonight. Like
I've said before, she wouldn't want me to spend so much time sitting
around moping just because she's gone - she would want me to be
happy and productive.
So,
I'm sitting here, sipping on a fuzzy navel (one of my DJ mentor's
favourite drinks back in the day, and now one of mine) and listening
to a considerably rare remix of Annie Lennox's "Little Bird" that
I was lucky enough to acquire on vinyl a while back.
To
my right, I have the glorious new rebuild of the "Wall of Records"
- the massive grid structure that houses most of my vinyl
- in its third incarnation. I created the "Wall of
Records" at my first apartment, then rebuilt it in our bedroom
(!) when I moved in with Lanna a couple of years ago. Now
that we've moved out of that apartment, I have finally geared
down to put the Wall back together in my studio. I should
have the actual metal grid-cubes completed within a day or two;
filling them up back up with vinyl will take significantly longer.
The last Wall of Records, back in summer 2006.
I
don't feel too horrible tonight, emotionally speaking. I
have had a number of days lately in which I have felt rather "empty"
- not
overwhelmed
with
grief, but also not really all that able to be extremely happy. Just
a cold, shallow, empty feeling. Tonight, though, I feel okay. Well,
I have a little bit of news about two projects coming up. Neither
of them are "huge" projects, but both in their own way may prove
to be very significant.
First,
I have been in talks with a very talented local painter/photographer/artist
who is interested in possibly doing some sort of weird conceptual
pictorial thingie - essentially taking photographs of me. It's
not going to be anything too bizarre (he's not offering candy bars
to take naked pictures or anything like that), and the photographer
in question is someone whom I consider a close friend. In
fact, I like his work so much that I actually own one of his
original paintings. We've been throwing around
ideas, and if this thing comes to fruition, odds
are I'll
be showing
off
a
lot
of
those
pics (and
pimping his
work) here at djbadger.com soon afterward. We'll see.
As
for the other new idea... Oh, I don't want to give too much
away, and I'm a bit afraid I might jinx it.
I'll
just say that if you're a DJ Badger fan, you should keep your late
Thursday evenings clear in the not-too-distant future.
No,
this doesn't mean I'm about to do another club residency somewhere. Far
from it. This little project will be far more... interesting. I
still need to do a bit more work to get ready for it, but once
all the pieces are in place, it'll be a lot of fun. Stay
tuned.
