Selling my Akai MPC 1000
This is the legendary Akai MPC 1000. I bought it 2 years ago and I've found myself not using it, just due to not having enough time. I used to make some sweet tunes on here though, so I'd like to give this guy a good home. It comes with a 16GB Compact Flash (CF) card, and a 128GB hard drive - both loaded up with tons of old vinyl samples, drum samples, etc. There are even my old unfinished projects on here - you can choose to delete them or pick up where I left off...

Changes Forthcoming
So of course I never realized that by embedding these songs directly into my post, instead of redirecting users to my soundcloud page, I would run into an issue down the road when I deleted said songs from my account... so now a bunch of my blog posts have songs which do not work. Eh well. That's a good reason to try and install my own multimedia system on this web server. I am also looking into a way to offer digital files directly from my servers. Stay tuned for that development.

Hostel California Evicted?
There is a hostel where Brian Kerns and I stayed at when we came out to Los Angeles this summer. Hostel California, a cozy little place down on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, CA... seems to be closed now. I went by there today to try and find an acquaintance who works there, only to see an eviction notice on the door. Accompanying it was a hand written note that said the doors would be open tomorrow (undated) for people to grab any of their last stuff. Pretty crazy stuff! If anyone has any details about this, please email me. Brian also noted an article pertaining to a man who died at a hostel in Santa Monica - maybe the reporter got the city wrong and this is the real cause?
